#AI pricing is subsidized. #Anthropic made updates to their rules.

OAuth tokens are now only for #ClaudeCode and claude.ai. No third-party tools allowed.

#OpenAI is doing the opposite with #GitHub #Copilot.

Someone will have to eat the inference costs eventually.

About 4% improvement. The authors seem underwhelmed by AGENTS.md files for #llm #ai agents.

I am not so sure. Adding a text #markdown file, with no computational cost, is making an AI agent a bit better at understanding your codebase.

More % than you got from a bank!

AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

Finally had time to watch "Mars Express". Exactly my kind of #scifi #movie. Beautifully animated. If you worry about how a future with #ai and #robots could look like, give it a shot.

One clever method to deal with #ssh #bruteforce #bots is to first allow the connection and then sever it abruptly. No FIN, no RST. The bot will just sit there thinking it is still connected.

Defense by time being wasted!

Here is a neat project visualizing this on a globe:

Someone tried to get #Vim approved at a large enterprise and the #Charityware clause sent their legal department into a spiral about “liability if we use it without donating.” Just don’t mention it ships in every #Linux distro.

#OpenSource is wild.

Cool! He is using his #steamdeck as a #guitar amp…aaaand he installed #windows on it. I am out :D

Still a very cool idea. Have to try this with #NAM models on #steamos.

The average developer salary is my new GenAI signal. If it's really about developers leveraging AI and unlocking new value, then I expect salaries to increase.

If GenAI is about increasing profit margins, then I expect the average developer salary, and headcount, to decrease over time.
