I love this debate. It'll never be solved, and the best argument is literally "are you sure?". You have no idea what I can see in my head, and I have no idea what you can see.

Just don't tip 20% when all you got was beer? I tip $1 a beer (at most) when the beers are $8. Sometimes I only tip on some of the beers.

There are subtleties that matter a lot. For example, in Washington state (WA), wait staff are paid normal full hourly wages. There is no such thing as a "tipped employee" who makes tiny hourly wage and supplements with tips.

Because of this, I am trying (with some success) to simply tip less at restaurants. Restaurant wait staff, in WA at least, is coasting on old rules and general voter ignorance.

Well, you are for sure right that the root of the problem is celebrity itself, but I do wonder if that's really unfixable. Are there cultures that celebrate celebrity less than others, I wonder?

So they announce this to try and take people away from GitHub, but it also depended on GitHub? Am I reading this irony correctly?

Yeah if you want to end up in the US penal system. I assure you, you do not. I know I don't.

Which is why the deal will not collapse

I'm not sure I understand. It's Helios but with WSE attached? And it uses one or the other depending on some criteria?

No noise pollution or actual pollution from gas turbines. No using water in the desert. No angry communities.

it just seems off-topic. we see the slot machine analogy a lot but i dont see how it has anything to do with this long, thoughtful essay about pricing power

lol yes, do you really think (some) people won't?

Can't use his Max sub with his own custom agent. No custom agent is worth per-token Opus pricing

Good luck with that...fools errand

Agreed, this has to happen and the sooner the better.

You have a tiny imagination

I doubt it means that. How would they ever know? Honest question..

Doesn't OpenAI allow this today?

This is bad advice. Local news is not some noble pursuit. It's helpful but so is national news. It's good to know how the world is evolving. Burying your head in the sand is not a solution.

This uses the CLIs so its using subscription pricing, not token pricing

* Hardware will manage models more efficiently

* Models will manage tokens more efficiently

* Agents will manage models more efficiently

* Users will manage agents more efficiently

Why are we acting like technology is on pause?

CLIs, usually they just work better. I was recently using the Chronosphere MCP server and got great results from it. Then one day it just stopped authenticating. My key was still valid but try as I might I could not use the MCP server anymore. So I just said

"Use the Chronosphere key at $ENVVAR and make yourself a CLI that uses the Chronosphere API. All I need you to do is run PromQL queries, whatever that API is"

And it wrote it in 60s and it works perfectly. I get the same results I got from the MCP server except there is less overhead, both in context and in my mind.

I read 1929 and my main takeaway was how unlikely it is for us to have a crash of that magnitude again. The differences between then and now are stark.

First, everybody was buying shares on margin. Everybody. Random lower class households were buyings shares on 10:1 margin. They had door-to-door salesmen pushing shares on uneducated households.

Second, nobody was talking about market cap. The whole world revolved around the share prices but nobody seemed to talk about what a company was worth.

Third, there was no SEC. There were no reporting requirements, no quarterly earnings calls. No rules of any kind.

Fourth, knowing prices was very hard. The current price of a stock was shown on physical signs that had to be updated and during heavy trading they were often many hours behind. Absolutely nobody knew what the price of various stocks was during the heat of the moment.

Fifth, the US economy is much more diversified than it was. Back in 1929 it was basically oil, rail, and banks. RCA was the Nvidia of its day.

We're in the middle of a correction now due to Iran, but I don't see a 1929-style crash happening.

Not allowed? This is easy to find in the Agent SDK docs

"Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead."

Consumers never pay for stuff on the internet. FB, Insta, TikTok, Google products, Reddit, Snapchat. This is not a new realization that OpenAI is having.

Ctrl+F "ads"

Nothing

Yeah that was my strategy yesterday and it worked. I ditched an MCP server and had Claude write its own CLI for the API

That's fair frankly, hurt egos on both sides.

Exactly. People project all kinds of ethics on writing code. The constant hum of anti-LLM on HN is monotonous and telling. Hurt egos everywhere.

This feels perfectly justifiable to me. The subscription plans are super cheap and if they insist you use their tool I understand. Ya'll seem a bit entitled if I'm being honest.
