OTOH I find it pretty funny that the instant they manage to make a model that breaks general containment of popularity and usefulness (4.5), the toxicity of the business model kicks in and they instantly enshittify.
Yes, I’ve been evaluating since the start of the year and since 4.6 suddenly the most innocuous requests will sit there “thinking” for 5+ minutes and if I can get it to show me the thinking it’s just going round in circles.
Or, it decided it needs to get API documentation out and spends tens of thousands of tokens fetching every file in a repo with separate tool use instead of reading the documentation.
Profitable, if you are charging for token usage, I suspect.
But I’m reaching the point where I can’t recommend claude to people who are interesting in skeptically trying it out, because of the default model.
I guess I engineered around this before 4.6 - I did notice a regression in it wanting to search deeper than I wanted and had specified, but just restricted it with tooling I wrote that would enforce what I wanted. In that respect, I feel comfortable running 4.6 with the guardrails I already have, but did notice some squirrelyness I didnt anticipate in my utility scripts.
For me it is their history of high-impact easily avoidable security bugs. I have no idea why "send a reset password link to an address from an unauthenticated source" was possible at all.
Fair point, I thought it had been eliminated, but apparently that is pending the adoption of the project by a foundation such as Apache or the Linux foundation.
We do rendered manifest pattern. The chart gets rendered into a single yaml, that get checked into it's own branch and PR. That way, any changes can be easily inspected before merging and can work with confidence that e.g. changing a setting or updating isn't going to change ALL of the objects. It's also extremely easy to (trustingly) roll back to previous states.
The only downside is that you can't really prune excess objects with this method. We're pushed to use Argo for deployment which I don't really gel with, but I trust it to apply the yaml, and at the very least it highlights when objects need to be removed.
I have various issues with it (e.g. wrapping on resize is just broken) and miss iTerm a little, but the built-in tabs aren’t too bad (unlike Kitty’s hardline stance) and it’s available cross-platform, so I can have the same config on many machines.
It doesn't need to be tech. From the Guidelines section of HN:
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

It's common to have things that are covered on TV news on the front page. It's more common for anything negative about Trump to be flagged, though.
