Wow this is a brutal price increase for a lot of plans, at least it appears old user instance prices are grandfathered unless you rescale them.

Anthropic was pulling ahead of their peers, but if they can't hear their customer's complaints about negatively changing value between releases they're going to undermine their position until no advantage is left.

This is great information, thanks for taking the time to document and explain your process, this is the kind of nix content we need more of.

Respectfully, please follow the relevant submission guidelines, it keeps things nice here:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

and

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."

I appreciate how Claude is credited under authors, seems like a "classy" way to disclose that ai tools were used.

Two big reasons spring to mind, client privacy and trust. This therapist was quite literally dumping confidential medical information to a third party corporation without telling the patient their information was being shared and disclosed with outside entities. The broader issue if patient trust in the ability or professionalism of the therapist are a whole other issue.

Google is really losing the plot lately, like worse than ever before. The changes to sideloading android apps is perhaps the biggest red flag they've ever thrown. But the new UI updates look largely silly and unhelpful, but maybe I'm being unfair.

Are You Tired of AI? 11 months ago

Absolutely, it seems to create way more problems than it solves, all while undermining human accuracy and expertise. Feels like a net negative for the species as a whole.

At least from the outside, OpenAI's messaging about this seems obnoxiously deluded, maybe some of those employees left because it starts feels like a cult built on foundations of self importance? Or maybe they really do know some things we don't know, but it seems like a lot of people are eager to keep giving them that excuse.

But then again, maybe they have such a menagerie of individuals with their heads in the clouds that they've created something of an echo chamber about the 'pure vision' that only they can manifest.

I think it's better to make these decisions in measured ways, rather than broad sweeping generalities, a shopping mall should have multiple motivations to build a wheelchair ramp before 'penalties' are used. I'm not inherently against enforcing accessibility, but it sucks to go for punishments as a first course of action.

Try to express your opinion in a nuanced way that explains your position, there's plenty of yelling online already and it doesn't help.

I don't agree with so much of what Canonical has done the past decade, I hope they can learn from this mistake and stop trying to reinvent the wheel when trust in their org is falling.

I don't want to contribute to canonical backed forks and projects when they don't have the vision to sustain those things.

These weird pastel heavy color-themes feel like they give me eye fatigue very quickly, is that just me?

This is so terrible for their optics, Google used to work to cultivate their image so that an entire generation of young talent would've loved to work there, fast forward to now and that's all burned down and there's no respect left.

Now the best Google can expect from young pragmatic talent is that they'll have no real loyalty or trust in the brand, well respect is a two way street, this will almost certainly just accelerate enshittification across Google products and services.

And if that 56% faster chip didn't exist, or if it were replaced tomorrow by an even better chip that doesn't mean I need it to do my work. I don't see why I should chase benchmarks anymore if it doesn't give me any new real benefits, and the vision and execution behind macOS as an ecosystem doesn't seem to be getting any better

I think it's great that Apple continues to bring powerful hardware to market but their software quality has fallen behind, laggy performance issues and fewer and fewer devs building for macOS due to Apple's oppressive package signing policies. If I had to choose between slightly less powerful hardware (who cares?) and having replaceable and upgradable parts I'm gonna choose that every time. Upgrading between macbooks is more expensive than upgrading between Framework models.

Also what do you mean by 'macOS is open' in what regard is it open?

I personally use neovim and something I love doing is :tabedit to create a new tab and then I slap a :term in there and baby you've got a fullscreen terminal in a separate tab right inside vim and get this, you can yank text from this buffer and easily move this between your terminal tab and the files you have open.

I think regular vim will do all this as well but I think maybe the commands are different?
