I don’t know why they are on there, but YC startups list their batch and year in parentheses on job posts, e.g. (W25). Example: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/88812

The Plaid listing you linked doesn’t have a batch by their name.

Still kinda weird that a non-YC company gets to have job listings on a site for only YC companies.

I don't know; I'm not involved. Just noticed the UI affordance.

The main no argument is that it makes risky games riskier for the developer, publisher and IP holder. Games like Marathon never get approved.

what's the risk? "Oh no we might have to provide the product we sold!" Lmao. That's the right kind of risk to force on sellers in a market. Sellers risk getting penalized for not providing what they have paid for. Great. Fanastic. Sounds healthy for any market and may even increase average customer confidence enough for a surge in sales, one that can't be created by one company alone.

Yes, that’s the risk in the argument.

The parent to their post was saying your risk assessment of which country should host is incorrect, given who you believe to be your biggest threat, i.e. your preferences are not aligned with reducing your risk.

This announcement makes sense to me because I listened to this interview between the cofounder and one of the Collison brothers awhile back. https://cheekypint.transistor.fm/11

I recommend it if you’d enjoy a couple of Irishmen going back and forth about tech and business.

In short, Fin is their agent. They charge a dollar per successful customer session so they’re incentivized to make it helpful.

At the time of the interview, it sounded like Fin was still smaller than the help desk software but they saw it as having more potential. I guess it’s big enough now to justify renaming the company.

> They charge a dollar per successful customer session so they’re incentivized to make it helpful.

Doesn't that incentivize them to increase the amount of "successful customer session" regardless if that's beneficial for the (either of the) customers? Instead of resolving the query in one session, they could split it up into many, just helping the customer enough to be considered a success, but still so they come back?

No, but even if it did, there is a third party keeping them honest, the business that doesn’t want to be overcharged for successes and doesn’t want angry customers.

Frustration from the outages, anti-AI sentiment, and the anti-hosted-software sentiment are converging.

On the positive side, HN has gone through multiple periods of enthusiasm for new code forges. There was even excitement for GitHub at one point. :) It’s good because all the forges generally add each other’s features if one takes off.

Point taken, but you should call emergency services if the threat is acute. They will obtain a faster response from the utility if needed.

We should expect the same automated personalization to be used offensively and for that personalization to be packaged into tools anyone can run (natural language interface, likely.)

(Appreciate your counterpoint for its own sake. It’s an interesting idea.)

That's why I started creating TUI apps. The cli was increasingly becoming a main view for daily work. I was using shortcuts to put the terminal side by side with other desktop apps or browser windows for context, but it was nicer to just write something that could sit in a tmux or zellij session next to claude or opencode.

It's also nice to have a little less to worry about as a desktop application developer, to be honest. The display is less nice (low text density especially) in exchange.

What are the leading uncensored models? How well do they perform for you?

I don't use any but they do exist and there are scientific papers discussing them. I heard about them through r/localllama

Is sasha-id an Anthropic employee or official bot, or a prank? The structure of its response is strange, plus that gif. Cherny's response seems like the only legitimate one. My question is serious; apologies if the answer is obvious to you.

I get the confusion -- it looks like the reporter of the bug just posted a raw email response that they got without adding any sort of decoration to make it clear it was from an email they got. At least, that's my reading of this.

I'm also not sure if the person/bot who responded was saying "No refund" or that they couldn't issue a refund, or if a Github Issue was an appropriate place to ask for a refund.

Let's hope a human on the other end is reading this and acting accordingly. It all seems like we're only seeing part of a story.

Thanks. That makes sense, and the thread reads differently to me now. I’m not hopeful the guy will see any refund.

He's the guy who reported the bug. It looks like he copy-pasted an email from Anthropic without context, and the gif is his response.

Thank you for pointing this out, it left me confused. It would have been a lot clearer if the text were in a quote block!

Ah, totally missed that! Thank you.

sasha-id submitted the original bug report, and then bcherny confirmed that it was a bug and that it's been fixed.

Given that, it's almost guaranteed that sasha-id is a legitimate actor.

If you're confused about sasha-id's comment here (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/53262#issue...), it's because they just copied and pasted a support response from Anthropic.

Totally missed that, and it was obvious in retrospect, haha. Thank you.

All these claude issues are full of bots, sometimes bots replying to themselves and getting confused. It's impossible to tell what is a real issue and what is hallucination. I'm surprised anthropic even bothers to read them.

In this particular case I think the authors reply is them quoting what support told them?

I'm confused about the timeline of events; in the PR, the github actions user lists this as a possible duplicate of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/53171, which was created earlier, and doesn't seem to be have been edited after the fact. Did sasha-id just copy that bug report and get credit for discovering?

He is the original author who faced the bug. I believe he just copied the response he received from Antrophic

Thanks for clarifying. The interesting thing is, confusion is due to finding not too hard to believe Anthropic is audacious enough to respond publicly and include a gif.

Thank you, and agree with hirako2000 that I was primed to believe they would actually reply like that, so found it harder to follow for that reason.

The second reply post was his copy and paste response from Anthropic's support staff along with a funny meme mocking it. He just didn't put it in a blockquote or quotation marks.

It was obvious to me, but I can see how somebody could get confused from that.
