New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Claude claims the AGPLv3 license violates it's content policy

Tell HN: Claude claims the AGPLv3 license violates it's content policy 9 by freedomben | 0 comments on Hacker News. On three separate projects, Claude has refused to add an AGPLv3 license to my project, telling me that it violates the content policy. Most recent reject gave: API Error: Output blocked by content filtering policy I've reproduced this a total of four times. It has also been reported for quite some time[1][2], including by myself a month or so ago (though I can't find the link), and it is clearly not just happening to me. This is unacceptable IMHO, and is beginning to feel like an intentional decision on their part. For myself at least, I'm going to start diversifying (or switching entirely to Codex) as I could see a day when Claude starts refusing to work on an AGPL codebase. It certainly wouldn't be the first time Anthropic has rug-pulled us with their lack of transparency. This is especially bothersome to me since I would be highly s...

Ask HN: What Wintel/AMD (Laptop) Harware are you liking? 2 by aagha | 0 comments on Hacker News. Everyone seems to be on a Mac with their amazing M1-4 chips and having a great time with local models[0]. I never made the move. Probably never will. I'd love to know what Intel/AMD (laptop) hardware people are liking for local AI models nowadays. 0 - https://ift.tt/zpuGNA8

Ask HN: Will low quality AI customer support be the new normal? 2 by 0-bad-sectors | 1 comments on Hacker News. Now whenever I reach for customer's support chat or phone I get an AI agent replying to me and I get into a useless loop for a couple of minutes before I start begging it to link me to a real person. Will companies start losing customers because of that or people will eventually get used to this?

New ask Hacker News story: Best AI coding plan alternative to Claude and ChatGPT

Best AI coding plan alternative to Claude and ChatGPT 4 by Jsttan | 1 comments on Hacker News. With the lowering usage limit in Claude, I am thinking of jumping ship to Chinese AI, since the benchmark is already very near compared to Sonnet or Haiku 4.5 , but for a fraction of the price. I am not worried about where is my data ending up through, I am focused on performance and usage limit. I mostly use it for coding and research. However, I am currently deciding on which to use, and would love any recommendations from anyone that are using any or many of these AI, - GLM Coding Plan (Z AI): $18/month Lite Plan - BytePlus: $10 ModelArk Coding Plan - Kimi AI: $19/month Moderato Coding Plan - MiniMax: $20 Plus Standard Plan I would like to ask, is the performance good? Is it worth the value? And how is the usage limit? Also, if anyone have any good recommendation on AI plan that is only in Chinese language, I don’t mind too, as I can understand Chinese.

So to keep a very long story short, I was 28, was exactly a year ago from april i was awarded top 2000 technicaians in the Nation from Stellantis of North America. I was(and still am) dealing with life long knee pain and hip pain from just wear and tear of automotive repair. Due to this i knew automotive was over for me.

Within 2 months of discovering the potential of CS. That said. I ended up creatinf a ton of projects to teach myself. Mind you im doing all this while the world around me is crashing and burning. I built printmakerai.com. I know ai is amazing at coding, and is very useful, but im the kind of guy who firmly believes "if you want it done right you must do it yourself....

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Before Open Source took over the server, what was the discourse like?

Ask HN: Before Open Source took over the server, what was the discourse like? 3 by mbgerring | 0 comments on Hacker News. My understanding of the early Internet is that there was fierce competition among commercial, closed-source server and database software, and that the dominance of Linux, Apache, MySQL (and now PostgreSQL) etc were far from obvious or guaranteed. I think we’re in a similar moment with LLMs, and I’d love to read some stories, or see some examples of discourse on mailing lists, forums, or whatever on this subject from that earlier period. I think it would be helpful for grounding present-day discussions. What can you share from this era?
