New ask Hacker News story: Google deleting all recently inactive accounts without phone number

Google deleting all recently inactive accounts without phone number 7 by superkuh | 5 comments on Hacker News. Google is now deleting all accounts that do not, and have never had, phone numbers associated with them if they haven't logged in within a year or so. "Urgent: Sign in to your Google Account if you want to keep it" But then it doesn't matter if you log in with the correct username and password and receive the PIN via your email. This is isn't enough. Unless a phone number is somehow added to the account one gets, "You can’t recover your account at this time because Google doesn’t have enough info to be sure this account is yours." This is despite having all information ever associated with the account. Unless that account has a phone number it will be deleted. This is a very shady dark pattern by Alphabet corporation.

New ask Hacker News story: One Wikipedia page costs your AI agent 68,000 tokens

One Wikipedia page costs your AI agent 68,000 tokens 6 by arhamislam5766 | 1 comments on Hacker News. i use claude code daily and measured what pages cost it while doing research. an average wikipedia article, for instance, is 68,240 tokens of raw html (tiktoken); nike's homepage is 353,000. claude code's built-in webfetch handles the easy case well. it summarizes wikipedia to about 950 tokens and clears cloudflare on some sites like indeed and ticketmaster. but, and there's always a but, on js-rendered and some anti-bot pages it returns nothing. quotes.toscrape.com/js gives "no quotes found"; nike.com gives a 403. your agent then dumps the raw html back into context and still fails. (note: i have also had cases where i read through the chat at the end and saw that it failed and just pulled from either training data or stale caches from other sources) so i worked on building an open-source stealth browser (recompiled chromium) that runs as an mcp for claude cod...

New ask Hacker News story: Reality of Commercial AI World from a 16 Year Old's Perspective

Reality of Commercial AI World from a 16 Year Old's Perspective 2 by VanshAgenticAI | 0 comments on Hacker News. Let me tell you who I am first. I'm 16, a mad scientist. Started coding and AI at 12 — before ChatGPT existed. Built AI voice assistants in 2022 when nobody knew what AI was. Worked 10 hours a day at 12, building anonymously. I HAVE 1 THING: ASK ME TO BUILD ANYTHING — IMPOSSIBLE OR POSSIBLE — I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. AI, MATHS, SCIENCE, WHATEVER. THAT'S IT. At 15, I started selling AI automation and voice agents. Cold called, cold emailed, worked hundreds of hours for 4 straight months. Never got a single sale. Fine — selling wasn't my strength. Then I tried building real products — made an OpenClaw clone that ran on low-end laptops, built AI researchers. I'm not a salesman. I'm the guy who if you say "build Claude from scratch including model training" — I'll somehow do it. But "build something cool" — I freeze. Still, I tried...

New ask Hacker News story: Where'd Codex Go?

Where'd Codex Go? 2 by aleshh | 3 comments on Hacker News. I just clicked the "Update" button in the Mac Codex app, and the app quit and deleted itself. I went to download it from the download page, and it downloads a copy of the ChatGTP app. Am I doing something wrong, or is this OpenAI unifying things? https://ift.tt/h01Me8p
