Nobody in the know is paying for Claude anymore, it's so overpriced. It's just the enterprise users.

Is that 'Why "Shota"' readme section tongue-in-cheek? Too devilish

Clean change, all things considered. But, like, what? What's to say you won't run into a billion problems here, too?

Is the source for the blog, open? What do they use to make the interactive charts? Vibe coded new stuff, or based on some existing framework?

statins are blood pressure medications, mate
createaccount99 · a month ago
Statins are, in fact, not blood pressure medications. They are cholesterol-lowering meds.

What does Belgium's capital has to do with this? Do you imply Brussels = European Union?
createaccount99 · a month ago
Brussels = location of EU headquarters, and in common lingo Brussels thus means "People running the EU and deciding things on everyone's behalf."

a similar (?) scandal happened in China, for which 2 people faced execution, alongside some very lengthy prison sentences.

Not similar in terms of intent

You can run Nix packages on Guix if there isn't a "native" package for it. Look at nix-service.

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/1.5.0/en/html_node/Miscellaneous...

I've never felt the need myself. If something is missing, I add it and I think that is the real fun in running Guix because creating your own well defined package or service is deeply rewarding.

Anyway, you can find people using it in the wild either by search engine[1] or with Toys[2] which is also handy for finding examples of missing packages too.

You can stop recommending that flow (nix on guix), it's not good. You'll know if you try it.
createaccount99 commented on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions   github.com/anomalyco/open... · Posted by u/sergiotapia

This is an unusual L for Anthropic. The unfortunate truth is that the engineering in opencode is so far ahead of Claude Code. Obviously, CC is a great tool, but that's more about the magic of the model than the engineering of the CLI.

The opencode team[^1][^2] built an entire custom TUI backend that supports a good subset of HTML/CSS and the TypeScript ecosystem (i.e. not tied to Opencode, a generic TUI renderer). Then, they built the product as a client/server, so you can use the agent part of it for whatever you want, separate from the TUI. And THEN, since they implemented the TUI as a generic client, they could also build a web view and desktop view over the same server.

It also doesn't flicker at 30 FPS whenever it spawns a subagent.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many QoL features in opencode that put CC to shame. Again, CC is a magical tool, but the actual nuts and bolts engineering of it is pretty damning for "LLMs will write all of our code soon". I'm sorry, but I'm a decent-systems-programmer-but-terminal-moron and I cranked out a raymarched 3D renderer in the terminal for a Claude Wrapped[^] in a weekend that...doesn't flicker. I don't mean that in a look-at-me way. I mean that in a "a mid-tier systems programmer isn't making these mistakes" kind of way.

Anyway, this is embarrassing for Anthropic. I get that opencode shouldn't have been authenticating this way. I'm not saying what they are doing is a rug pull, or immoral. But there's a reason people use this tool instead of your first party one. Maybe let those world class systems designers who created the runtime that powers opencode get their hands on your TUI before nicking something that is an objectively better product.

Not unusual, not for Anthropic.
