Anthropic is the one that prohibits harnesses other than Claude Code on subscription plans and bans users for disobeying.

OpenAI officially allows that with subscriptions.

If you bother to look at the issue instead of whining and complaining, you will see the evidence.

Now this is the kind of honest snark I would hire.

What does this have to do with anything? Who are you talking to? This is Hacker News, not Anthropic support.

Are you high?

This is rather incoherent.

Order of magnitude more complexity.

OAuth is pretty simple, just read the spec.

You picked probably the only semi-straightforward thing about part of one of the OAuth specs, then hand-waved away the other 95% of the necessary related specs, knowledge, and experience for getting an implementation working robustly and securely for a non-trivial use case.

Great if you have fiber and live down the road from the datacenter.

We aren't talking about insect identification models from 2019.

I don't think I average even 2 captchas a day being terminally online, so 10 across every soul in the world sounds way too much for me. (we're ignoring bots it's meant to deter?)

You're mixing up checks, fingerprinting, and PoW with a captcha being triggered because those didn't pass. The less abnormal your setup is, the fewer captchas you'll get.

I agree with the rest of what you said.

Also I think you mean "scraper" and not "scrapper".

N=1 P=0.5

Replacing parts of PE firms with AI is so far from being a useful suggestion here.

I don't think gaming on Linux is comparable here.

Libraries that automatically throw errors for status codes in the 400 and 500 ranges are pretty obnoxious (looking at you, axios). It adds unnecessary overhead, complexity, and bad ergonomics by hijacking control flow from the app.

Responses with status codes in the 400 range are client errors, so the client shouldn't retry the same request. So a 404 is appropriate despite how annoying a library might be at handling it. Depending on which language/ecosystem you are using, there are likely more sane alternatives.

Yep, the Anthropic acquisition, this petulant Rust rewrite, and bun's increasingly buggy releases (slop) have caused me to migrate my projects (personal and work) to nodejs+pnpm.

The risks of using bun are no longer just those concerns around a newer tech and "drop-in" replacement for nodejs. Now you have to marry Anthropic, Rust, and a founder with conflicting priorities.

Hey Grok is pretty good for meme videos and pics. For anything serious, not so much.

That is.. inaccurate.

This also makes it the only open American frontier-level model right now.

I'm not going to keep arguing with you. If you want to keep arguing, go to https://gemini.google.com/. Gemini knows what a frontier model is and it knows that Gemini Nano is fundamentally different from the other Gemini models. For one, it uses the Gemma architecture. And the next version of Gemini Nano is built directly on Gemma 4.

As for your original claim that I quoted, there are other "open American frontier-level models" by your definition. Like Gemma 4.

Thanks. Looks like the current Gemini Nano is actually a separate model with the Gemma 3n architecture that has been distilled from Gemini 2.5 Flash[1].

Also, the next version of Gemini Nano will be based directly on Gemma 4 (so not distilled, not Gemini at all except for the name)[2].

So no, it's not a frontier model. Those don't run on your phone or in your browser.

Sources for your claim that the model being downloaded to Android/Chrome is Gemini instead of Gemma. Other than downloading the bin file myself and analyzing it lol.

Can you provide any sources for that? I'd like to learn more about this open frontier model.

Great!

Using that logic, Node.js is just a wrapper over V8.

It's not my plan.

Things aren't just "good" or "bad". There are tradeoffs to consider.

This is the kind of argument you should take to your 3rd grade teacher.

Thanks for all the logical fallacies in one comment.

They don't show your usage in tokens for Claude Code and Codex subscriptions, but that is how they are doing the accounting.

As of yesterday subagents were often getting the entire session copied to them. Happened to me when 2 turns with Claude spawned a subagent, caused 2 compactions, and burned 15% of my 5-hour limit (Max 5x).
