The onus isn’t on me. It’s on anyone contradicting findings by most benchmarks, because most of them show a clear advantage for Opus and GPT over OSS models.

The problem isn’t the SDK but the API usage.

Users will say this-or-that about choice etc etc. It’s about subsidized tokens. Otherwise th users (and OpenCode) would have stopped pushing the workarounds months ago.

I’m sorry but you’re demonstrably incorrect.

Listen, I want more open weight models in the world. They create entrepreneurial opportunities and support use cases which the foundation labs don’t want to support.

But open weight models are consistently three to six months behind on performance compared to closed models, as confirmed by both benchmarks and personal use. They’re closer on coding and much further away on non-coding tasks.

There are theories as to why these models lag, which I won’t get into. But anyone claiming open-weight models are close to closed-weight models is ignoring significant evidence to the contrary.

This is both true and immaterial to Microsoft’s net profits.

Yep, well said and great, sharp explanation.

I think we can attribute a bunch of consternation here to drift between assumed and actual licensing terms.

The actual licensing terms for Claude Code expressly prohibit use of the product outside of the Claude Code harness. If you want Opus outside of CC, the API is available for your use anytime.

Some percentage of the community seems to assume their Claude Code subscription licenses allow free usage of CC across any product surface - including competing products like OpenCode. While this is a great way to save on API costs, the assumption is incorrect. In fact, it is *so* incorrect that Anthropic has encoded their licensing terms into their Terms of Service, and a result can take legal action against any violating parties.

We can have separate discussions about Anthropic’s use of the Common Crawl in pre-training, or whether foundation labs adhere to robots.txt conventions. But those don’t directly impact Anthropic’s right to bring litigation.

——

Outside of that I think angry users have their own stated preferences v revealed preferences here. They claim they want Opus on their terms, and Anthropic’s actions infringe on their user rights.

Angry folks: Opus is right there! You just need an API key! The reality is you want Opus in your devtools of choice at discounted rates. You could at least be honest about your consternation

Yes, it is true that companies often litigate against customers who violate their Terms of Service. The TOS is put into place to protect the company’s interests from user abuse.

Paying customers of Claude Code don’t receive a free-use license for any desired application. They’re paying to use Claude Code. Anthropic can take steps to litigate usage outside of those terms, even if customers find that fact really annoying.

LMSYS consistently provides a high standard for open, collaborative exploration of LLMs. Cool to see them explore LLM routing - this feels like a fertile area for problemsolving.

My experience this is common for specialty knowledge the founders might not possess. They know enough to know they cannot assess, say, AI/ML or infrastructure, and seek interview support from an advisor.

I took Adam’s point here to be that an Airflow DAG author primarily concerns themselves with the configuration of those objects, since the underlying components (Celery worker, Python execution process or K8s pod; data warehouse; RPC) have been abstracted in the form of Operators.

But at no point did OP claim it was a scam? They even ask if this is normal for American franchises, instead of accusing 7-11 of predatory behavior.

I use a trackball next to my keyboard which barely cracks the $100 barrier right now. The trackball won't change when the keyboard does in a few months.

I regret using the word "person." luv too be nitpicked on HN

The better version of my argument is "the product is not the same because it was not appropriately transferred between operators."

Of course this is all squishy and grey, since I don't believe DataTau filed a trademark claim, but moving forward with an identically-named product is still poor taste.

You're making my point for me - that's a legally approved transfer of assets. This is not.

I don't think this excuses the cloning.

If you wanted to keep the project running, the first step would be to speak with the real site's maintainer to develop a plan.

But it is not the same product, because it is not run by the same person. That matters.

Yikes, I’m sorry. What were your application developers doing to persist this messy data?

Their service is high-touch. Stylists speak with clients constantly, so they record this information.

They also have mobile apps, they run product experiments, they source and sell clothing and manage inventory, they build and iterate on algorithmic approaches to recommend and design clothing (many of which help stylists and never reach the screen of an external client).

You can skim through their Algorithms blog for some more detail. I find them impressive in how they scale the impact of relatively few stylists to about 3M users.

I don’t think I questioned CP’s HOF credentials anywhere, except on whether he’s a dirty player. Which he is.

It’s tragic when players aren’t brought along properly. Boys Among Men by Jonathan Abrams talks about the incentives are all misaligned for raw, talented rookies. You’re right - I didn’t know that about him.

Maybe I didn’t watch as much as you, sure, but Magic Johnson also didn’t fit the traditional mold of a point guard. He still somehow found a way to become a legend.

At this point we have almost a decade of evidence on both players, and the evidence is clear. Even if Abdur-Rauf may have been great now, not even Phil will call him as great as Curry:

After his original tweet set the Internet ablaze, Jackson provided a follow-up message to clarify things and confirm he wasn't placing the two players on the same level:

How does commenting on Rauf mean I'm comparing him to Curry? Remind, yes, quick release, cross over, Yep, MVP, nope. Get a grip!

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2625417-stephen-curry-co...

I loved Lou! A streetball legend who carried the Magic when Nelson went down on their run a decade ago. He should have been a star, but I think he made the NBA jump a bit late.

Yeah these guys are on another level. Comparing them to Abdur-Rauf is like comparing Jalen Rose to Kawhi Leonard.

My point is that Houston and Golden State have identified and capitalized on arbitrage opportunities. I don’t think NBA fans are thrilled about either team at this point, since - despite concerns about Harden’s foul-baiting - Golden State has dominated the NBA for almost 3 years now.

As for cap smoothing - my bad, you’re right! https://www.si.com/nba/2015/03/11/nbpa-rejects-salary-cap-sm...

And GS in 2016-17, also right and I’m kind of shocked! That Curry contract was a steal in retrospect (although justified given his early career injury troubles). http://www.basketballinsiders.com/golden-state-warriors-team...

(The CP3 thing I won’t discuss except to say that he’s a prodigious talent who also takes shots, although they are sometimes of a cheaper, dirtier kind.)

I wrote out an entire well-reasoned response to your comment, then finished reading your comment comparing Abdul-Rauf to Curry. I mean, not even Reggie Miller or Ray Allen?!

Curry is a generational shooter and transcendent offensive talent. 2x MVP, 8 seasons of 20+ PER. Over 20 ppg over the last 7 seasons.

Abdul-Rauf averaged 14.5 ppg in 9 seasons in the NBA, never breaking 40% 3P% or 20 PER.

Curry has NEVER shot below 40% 3P% in a season.

Abdul-Rauf’s closest comparison on BBall Reference is Rafer Alston. Most non-fans will respond to that with “...who?” To that I say “exactly.”

I understand this sentiment but let’s call out all of the spades.

Another loophole: Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors. This team took advantage of a one year salary jump resulting from TV revenue which granted them exactly the max slot money they needed to sign the second-best basketball player in the world (at the time - he is arguably the best in 2019).

The NBA gaffed here, honestly. They could have negotiated a smooth salary cap raise with the union over several years. They refused, and it led to arguably the greatest superteam in league history (and this comes from a Heat fan who remembers LeBron + Wade + Bosh very clearly).

One good metagame play deserves another.

How do you ensure your fuzzed data has statistical signal that approximates those present in the true data?

Although I see your point - you can't quickly change between App A and a specific window of App B.

You're looking for Cmd-Tab, then up/down arrow once you've selected the desired app. This will display a window selector.

Once you pick the a window, it will be foregrounded. Everything else will stay the same.

I mean, these were literally 76% more expensive ($299) than AirPods ($169) at launch with similar BT quality according to reviews.

Or OP likes them so much they're willing to replace them despite the flawed battery life.

Also, OP said they purchased them in 2016 - not a year ago.

The case battery is a different beast. It is not outputting iPhone levels of power or recharged nightly.
