New ask Hacker News story: Does this mean it's fine to use Claude subscriptions with third party harnesses?

Does this mean it's fine to use Claude subscriptions with third party harnesses? 2 by jakemanger | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been curious about using a claude subscription with OpenCode, Pi and some other third party harnesses. If you remember, there was a lot of chatter about a ban on third party harnesses and then Claude have had some pretty confusing messaging about it since. I thought I should read the information they have on it and came across this page on their support site: "Update June 15: We're pausing the changes to Claude Agent SDK usage described below. For now, nothing has changed: Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party app usage still draw from your subscription's usage limits. The previously announced monthly credit, which would have been available to eligible claimants in connection with these changes, isn't available. We’re working to update the plan to better support how users build with Claude subscriptions. When we have an up...

Ask HN: Help choosing between AWS ECS and EKS 2 by pigradish | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello everyone. I was recently hired at an established company that is in the process of migrating to AWS from Heroku. I am the second devops/SRE like employee, the other person has more of an IT background. He, along with the 20ish person dev team, have no experience with anything cloud or IaC. Our workloads are almost entirely stateless web services, with some data pipeline work that has already been moved to AWS lambda. My gut is telling me ECS is the better choice for this team - simpler, no operational maintenance, almost no additional abstractions beyond the AWS primitives people will need to learn anyway. A consulting team hired before I was brought in are pushing EKS, but I’m not convinced that the improved devex is worth the increase in complexity and operational burden for our team. Their argument is that developers can be effectively quarantined within k8s, so the increase in mainten...

Ask HN: What self-hosted apps do you use daily? 2 by osr00 | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've been running a homelab for many years now and tried out many open source projects. A small percentage turn out to be real gems, but I use these almost every single day: Shlink: URL shortener/redirects, alternative to Bitly Vaultwarden: open source Bitwarden server Dokploy: PaaS, alternative to Vercel / Netlify Umami: gdpr-compliant web analytics Immich: photo management Papra: document archiving with OCR Navidrome: personal music streaming I'm super curious to hear about the apps you can't live without!

New ask Hacker News story: Can I get insurance for company renting humanoids for parties?

Can I get insurance for company renting humanoids for parties? 2 by cpsk | 4 comments on Hacker News. It feels like an daunting and impossible task to find insurance for a company trying to rent humanoids for events and parties. How in the world are Neos and Telsa Optimus going to get insurance coverage if they are inside a home? Are they just big players so they can get hold of risk underwriters and get them to approve it. But a small company that is trying to build rent robots for parties or conduct educational workshops using humanoids cannot get even general liability.
