It’s strictly speaking not their responsibility, but it is something that they should do if they want to help their customers.

In general, they need to make a really big post somewhere that’s not a HN comment that this was in fact a compromise of the Cursor marketplace, not an employee’s machine, because they’re getting a lot of (unjustified) bad PR.

I think you’re being extremely negative towards Anthropic here. Basically the parent is saying “this is a problem at Cursor and not Anthropic” and you’re holding them accountable.

You’re literally saying that they should not have published on the Cursor marketplace but should have used OpenVSX because that would have been “reasonable”, but I think you’re being unreasonable here.

It means that Anthropic did not intentionally develop a malicious version, obviously. But it’s a bit disingenuous and tries to suggest that it wasn’t Anthropic that uploaded it and/or wasn’t published under Anthropic’s name, which isn’t true.

I’d expect nothing less than a post mortem on how this happened to be honest.

And try to launch sshd, right? Think of all the other things they could have done…

For what it’s worth, at one point one of our employees windows machines got infected, and the moment he did $something with Wordpress it intercepted the HTTP post and injected malware in there.

So that’s how these things can go, the employee’s machine may have been infected which was then used to inject this.

Wasn’t Elon Musk shouting a few days ago that neoclouds are going to crash, the money dried up and that SpaceX was the last company with the opportunity to raise more money?

I think you’re giving Musk too much credit.

I use Claude Code extensively as I mentioned, but what does “primary support” look like? Why should tmux “know” what an agent is?

I just use tmux with multiple ghostty sessions and I have different Claude code sessions behind different tabs and panes and work like that.

What am I missing out on that justifies now using a normal terminal+tmux anymore?

But I’m already using ghostty. I installed herdr but made the mistake of launching it from within tmux and had no idea how to close it.

I then opened it somewhere else, but I had no idea how to interact with it. I also couldn’t get two other windows to “join” the same herdr session, so I gave up and went back to tmux.

For someone who has used screen / tmux for almost 30 years at this point, what does herdr do that tmux can’t?

I use Claude Code extensively. I also use plannotator extensively, which is how I found out about it.

Yes but that’s irrelevant as Mt Gox would not have had 850k BTC in their wallet at current valuations.

Isn’t this usually defined by “open” vs “free” ?

I think this is really splitting hairs, they just want to give people the ability to self-host (which is awesome) yet still make money off it for cloud based hosting.

But then again, I also always understood that startups want to prevent AWS from capitalizing on their source code as well and sympathize with Elastic, MongoDB, etc so perhaps I’m an outlier here.

Businesses should be able to release things to the public yet still be able to control who makes money off of it.

The money earned with Firefox should have gone to Firefox but went to vanity projects instead. Firefox OS, Mozilla Social, Firefox Send / Persona, acquiring Pocket, etc etc. And all of it failed.

Nevermind the controversies of silly ad campaigns and CEO salaries and whatnot.

Mozilla should have just reinvested all the money into Firefox. Heck, they couldn’t even finish their rust-based rendering engine.

I blame how things turned out more on Mozilla being distracted and forgetting about their own user base, to be honest.

Chrome was pretty great as well, it was desperately needed.

The same was true 15 years ago when the cloud started hyping up and Google missed that in similar ways as well, so I’m not sure whether the “Google of yesterday” is who you think it is.

This is the Google of yesterday, they didn’t change.

That seems like an overly negative caricature of Google’s corporate culture, and unlikely to be the case here, given the stakes and enormous investments in AI.

It’s more likely what the grandparent was saying, I’m reminded of Steve Yegge’s rant from 15 years ago and it seems like not a lot has changed.

Haven’t OpenAI and Anthropic had these offerings for a year or so already?

To be honest, git deferring to the OS is the right thing to do. It's macOS that's the problem, not git.

"Ten days later, macOS and all applications that rely on it still trust the compromised eMudhra certificates" would have been a better title.

Isn’t that equally subjective as, say, the price of the iPhone?

It just depends on what you value. A MBP with 32GB memory and 2TB disk is much more expensive than a Dell equivalent.

(I say this as someone who owns a MBP)

Well yeah but that’s the case with all Apple products, not?

Interesting, I have used Samsung 5K displays for a year or two with my Mac Studio, and recently bought an Studio Display after one died. I am SO much happier with the studio display, it powers on so much faster, the black is much more "black", etc. The built-in camera is also really good.

I'm almost considering getting rid of the other two Samsung displays and replacing them with Studio Displays because it's just so much better.

It’s more nuanced than that, but yes that’s the biggest factor.

Engineers use vanilla SSH for SSH, Tailscale SSH is more focused on enterprise stuff where you can have an audit trail of all commands executed and enforce ACLs.

I'm more worried about all PRs being reviewed and accepted by AI as well.

What makes you say that Anthropic has multi quarter slowdowns?

Oh that would make a lot of sense, basically supply limited.

So then how is OpenAI using Cerebras? Or are they not?

Or, from a different perspective: who is using Cerebras for what purpose?

YouTube definitely provides recommendations based on your watch history and overall profile.

Exactly, which is why it’s so incredibly fast. And expensive.

Compared to what, all the open source projects having exploits this week?

This is a silly argument to make. By pretty much any standard, the iPhone has really good security.
