Crazy bad front-end design. Site hijacks my gestures so I can't swipe back anymore, starts with a full page autoplaying video...

Agreed. I’ve found that Anthropic [dot] com at least honors “reduce motion” accessibility settings, and that makes their site a bit more useable.

AppleCare specifically covers water damage of any kind, and is what I would assume OP would be referring to as a "premium warranty and repair service".


AppleCare isn't a warranty (as the other poster points out).

The standard iPhone warranty disclaims water damage [1] and Apple has been sued in the past for using humidity activated sensors.

That isn't my read.

ApplecCare is as much a warranty as their Apple's phone are guaranteed waterproof.

It's marketing.

The 3 year warranty add-ons is an insurance. One can get an insurance for any device.

Going off the believable citations in the wiki page here, it seems more complicated than "who solved it", as there's a mathematician, Anthropic, and OpenAI having a priority dispute.


I’m well aware of the dispute, and OpenAI’s conduct has definitely been less than respectable.

But when the central claim of the argument (that OpenAI and the researchers solved the same problem) is completely false, it’s hard to take the article seriously.


The first version was "Apple AirPods", there's two of them so it makes sense.


Users so technically inept they can't use chatbots? Have them vibecode changes to your product today!


GHA still beats Circle CI or trying to run your own Jenkins - even with all the downtime. I'd move in a heartbeat if there were good alternatives.


I think I agree if you don't have someone dedicated to running and maintaining Jenkins. If you have someone at your org that knows what they are doing though, I'd still take Jenkins over GHA any day.


gitlab self hosted though? no outage. i remember equivalent functionality at my last job taking this path


That's significantly more difficult to set up and it cost money. Github's big issues that it's free, Microsoft doesn't want to allocate enough budget to keep the thing running properly.

But for people who either don't pay anything at all or phenomenal amount one 9 of up time is all you need.

If you're actually trying to run a business I guess you can call and gitlab and get an Enterprise contract


That's not just moving actions though, that's moving _everything_ and taking on the maintenance of running it yourself.


The official YCombinator stance is that Flock was a huge success as an investment - which it seemingly was, given that they managed to sign deals with what seems like every tiny municipality/sheriff/government organization.

Because for police departments, they are a huge benefit and well worth the cost. A lot of crimes have been solved with Flock cameras. Stolen cars, or cars linked to criminal activity have been tracked and located. Missing persons have been found.

None of that justifies the massive invasion of privacy that these cameras represent. You don't have a right to not be individually surveiled in public, but that doesn't mean it's OK for the government to warrantlessly track everyone everywhere they go 24x7, or to do it by proxy with a private company such as Flock. The potential for abuse is just too high, and we've seen many cases of that too.


Surely writing 374 lbs is easier than 26st 10lb.


And 1.125lbs is easier to write than 1 pound 2 ounces, yet Americans will look at you with a blank stare if you don't use ounces.

When it comes to units, you can't please everybody. Especially if it's tangentially related to the old colonies.


people love to take potshots about how Americans don't know the metric system, but we love our 9mm's and a few grams


What an Americentric point of view.

Not everybody measures weight in pounds, and to the primary readership of the BBC, stones and kilograms mean much more than weighing pounds.

Source: Canadian who understands neither kg or stones.


The 2nd number immediately means something to me. While I have to consider the first. From my perspective it isn’t easier to comprehend.

An unrelated point. I’ve noticed more people in the UK measuring their weight in KG. I think I may be in a dwindling minority of people who think in stones and pounds.


Isn’t stones/pounds just like feet/inches? Do you support dropping feet and only using inches? If not, why not?


I have no clue, give me kg thanks.


I've seen Eve Online corporations that do a better job of steganographic marking than this.


That would actually be an interesting thing to read about


Years ago, EVE corps swapped Unicode lookalike characters in patterned ways, inserted patterned zero width space characters, and put very slightly color shifted background watermarks into forum posts to detect leaks.


There are a few different things here. The actual steganography technique by Claude Code here is fairly smart and subtle; it's appropriate for a binary signal. The less-clever part is the implementation of the underhanded code on the client.

For "MMO geopolitics fingerprinting", you can in theory do the entire thing mostly or entirely from the server, with the client not actually ever receiving any underhanded code per se. Such as sending dynamic stylesheets that vary in a pretty plausibly deniable way that can be secretly extracted from screenshots. Same for the character swap stuff. A very good analyst could still potentially detect it, but it's much harder.

With this, there's the smoking gun of the semi-deobfuscated underhanded code in the client. It will always have to exist in some form, but you can write it in a way where it not just looks like regular code but actually has a believable purpose and behavior which could plausibly be normal and benign for implementation of a feature or telemetry or whatever. They did not really do it in a sufficiently "cleverly psyop-y" way, so to speak.


No, it's for IoT. Don't install an IoT Operating System if you are planning to do normal Operating System things.


The marketing works for you. This is the precise reason, they name it like this.

The IoT means it is for people who can't afford having the OS vendor make the OS do things against their will. Which should be everyone, but sadly isn't.


Wrong. I've been gaming on it with no problems.


Whilst true, the IoT naming is a bit misleading. It's not just designed for IoT devices/purposes. It can run pretty well as a normal operating system, not much is different. (Think Payment Systems, Library Computers, etc).

I think Microsoft just wanted to be in on the "Internet of Things" hype train. The Windows IoT Core is the cut back version of Windows designed explicitly for headless, IoT stuff.
