New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Anthropic won't reset usage limits for those who downgraded

Tell HN: Anthropic won't reset usage limits for those who downgraded 2 by vintagedave | 0 comments on Hacker News. On March 27, I contacted Anthropic Support reporting I hit usage limits very early. On 13 April, I emailed again asking about usage issues (like many others): I started that Monday with 72% of my usage used. On 17 April, after three weeks of the first open support thread, disappointed in their replies to the second, and exactly six days before their published post-mortem and their promise to reset usage limits, I downgraded my account from Max to Pro, and updated the support thread with that info. > Today we are resetting usage limits for all subscribers. -- Yesterday's post: https://ift.tt/strY8vP I followed up today to ask if this applied to me, noting, > Does this [reset usage promise] apply to my account? And how many weeks worth of usage is reset, please? I note there was ongoing impact for significant time. Their reply: > Unfortunately, this subsc...

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Claude 4.7 is ignoring stop hooks

Tell HN: Claude 4.7 is ignoring stop hooks 33 by LatencyKills | 16 comments on Hacker News. I've been using Anthropic's hook features [0] since they were introduced. It allows me to inject determinism into my workflows. This worked perfectly until 4.7. Now, Claude routinely ignores the hook rules. For example, I have a stop hook that prevents Claude from stopping if a source file has been changed and no tests have been run. Here's the relvant part of the script: # Source edits made without a subsequent test run -> block the stop. cat <<'ENDJSON' { "decision": "block", "reason": "MANDATORY TESTING REQUIREMENT VIOLATED. You modified source files after the last test run (or never ran tests this turn). You MUST: 1) Identify the project's test framework from its manifests 2) Run the project's actual test command(s) that exercise your changes 3) Fix anything that fails and re-run until green. If no tests exist for the...

New ask Hacker News story: Can non-developer build commercial products with AI

Can non-developer build commercial products with AI 2 by rkorlimarla | 5 comments on Hacker News. I honestly think that even with AGI or ACI; without deep understanding of technical architectures and fundamentals , the last 10 miles will be tough! When I tried to build products using Claude Code, i had to interject , either to correct the code or suggest alternative SW designs, for the last few miles. And then operations/maintenance definitely required deeper intervention. Thankfully, I am faily technical - Wondering, if anyone else was able to accomplish this, being totally hands-off?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do solo devs protect their work in the age of vibe coding?

Ask HN: How do solo devs protect their work in the age of vibe coding? 3 by langs | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am working on a new open-source project. (My project is in AI infrastructure. It already gets SOTA results on several well-known benchmarks.) The core value is not just the code, but a fairly specific algorithmic approach that came out of many failed attempts, experiments, and design iterations. The dilemma I am facing is this: If I open-source early, I get feedback, trust, users, and maybe contributors. But I also expose the core design and algorithm. With LLMs, turning a repo into a different implementation is much cheaper than it used to be. If I keep it closed, I protect the work for longer, but I also lose the main advantages of OSS: adoption, review, community, and credibility. Worse, someone else may still build something similar and become the default project in the space. I’m a new solo dev with almost no audience. If a large org or a well-known developer sees th...
