Fingers crossed on RAM/HDD/GPU prices coming back

Yes you will download the app because we will not offer a web version.

No, in that case I won't do business with you.

Unfortunately you won't be able to submit any expenses then, because the company uses this other company who only offers an app for accounting.

I agree with parent, "having a contract" gives you nothing tangible. Big tech providers get hacked quite commonly nowadays, some with glaringly embarrassing vulnerabilities like "the admin password was admin". All your data leaks, and the most you get from them going "sorry".

Having the ability to sue, and having the resources to sue is also not the same.

The amount of times I had to deal with support cases (as the reporter, not the handler) where I felt like the support person was actually incentivized to solve my problem vs just following the script is astonishingly low. Even with paid support. Paid support just means you get to follow their script faster.

Debian requires unattended-upgrades to be installed (it's not installed by default), Mint and Fedora has the option of enabling automatic updates (disabled by default), Arch has no mechanism for automatic updates.

Which ones are these "most distros"?

Choose if you think Windows is just the kernel or the operating system.

The ones that control whatever source you are pulling the updates from. Very very few people are building everything from source and reading the source in full everytime.

Notice I am not saying this is likely. I am saying that it is theoretically possible anytime you accept code from the outside (doesn’t matter if it is pull or push)

It's not broken, it's the process ???

What would you consider broken?

Github has posted that they will now train on everyone's data (even private) unless you opt out (until they change their mind on that). Anthropic has been training on your data on certain tiers already. Meta bittorrented books to train their models.

Surely if your license says "LLM output trained on this code is legally tainted", it is going to dissuade them.

No, it won’t dissuade them. But when we finally get the chance to legally beat the shit out of these companies, I want to reserve my place in line.

Alternatively, they can learn to trust me on this and simply exclude/evict my code from the training corpus.

Is this the first time you are reading HN? Every day there are posts from people describing how AI crawlers are hammering their sites, with no end. Filtering user agents doesn't work because they spoof it, filtering IPs doesn't work because they use residential IPs. Robots.txt is a summer child's dream.

The article starts off really weak:

>Claude Code users typically treat the .claude folder like a black box. They know it exists. They’ve seen it appear in their project root. But they’ve never opened it, let alone understood what every file inside it does.

I know we are living in a post-engineering world now, but you can't tell me that people don't look at PRs anymore, or their own diffs, at least until/if they decide to .gitignore .claude.

I don't. I have Claude do all my PR reviews, running in a daily loop in the morning. The truth is an LLM is better at code review than the average programmer.

I'm a senior engineer who has been shipping code since before GitHub and PR reviews was a thing. Thankfully LLMs have freed me from being asked to read other people's shit code for hours every day.

It "freed" you. :) That's an interesting way to put it.

You’re assuming most people using Claude code are senior engineers.

And that we're living in a post engineering world.

Not that I'm entirely onboard with it, but often you don't have a channel to communicate with "the people who can change the machine", only the cogs in the machine.
