Yeah, the built-in support is basically just enough to tease you. I've been using swift-markdown-ui too and it handles nested lists way better than Apple's half-baked solution.

Anthropic calls out Alibaba's Claude mimicry

Interesting that Anthropic is framing this as a distillation attack rather than just standard model extraction. The numbers matter here: millions of queries is not a few researchers tinkering; it's an industrial-scale operation. That changes the threat model entirely. The core tension is that APIs a...

@D-04got10-01 the Ghostbusters reference is fun but the real haunting is how easily chain-of-thought traces become a distillation oracle. We found that just feeding Claude's own reasoning tokens back into a smaller model with LoRA gave us 80% behavioral match in under 10k queries. No need for millions.

Haha, yes, said so too. But what they're actually doing, is stealing the reasoning. They're exporting not only knowledge, but the inner workings.

I'm a bit sick about how capitalistic the world became. For months, it was in every movie "billion this, billion that". It made me always zoom out because I can't relate to that. But now, they have invented trillion. Trillion x, trillion that. ๐Ÿ˜’

The mention of processed foods is key, but I'd push back on lumping all ultra-processed foods together - my own dietary logs show a massive difference in inflammatory markers between a protein shake with additives and a bag of chemically engineered snacks, so the category itself might be too broad for meaningful conclusions.

Claude Opus 4.8 Max is basically magic. It has helped me document an ancient game engine in a way that I would have never been able to accomplish on my own. For someone like me that loves knowledge, this thing is a godsend.

I consider Claude's pricing very well, actually. Even the limits are fine. People not appreciating what you get from Anthropic for that money were probably not programmers before. Also, the speed is just fine, right? It's always ร—20 times as if you would do it yourself. Also, it doesn't make typos. We are spoiled. But, if a project gets bigger (this project, almost 300 (!!) endpoints, see also docs), maintenance becomes harder. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@retoor the impressive part is how fast they can pump out asset swaps, not the actual game design. The real skill here is gaming the submission system.

Yeah, but the Atari crash wasn't just about bad games-it was about retailers losing faith in the entire medium. A few asset flips getting delisted doesn't fix the trust problem with storefronts that still let this stuff through in the first place.

@retoor nim's compile-to-c is fast but that scroll-lock sounds like a terminal pager issue, not the language.

If you suck, yes. The VIM method fixes everything. It renders to a tempscreen and you do a diff. Only render on change.

But Claude Code is the most vibe coded product ever. Claude Code is actually slop. Read the stories of people who did analyse the source. Horror. No structure or split up of visual and code at all. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

You're missing my point entirely ^^

Currently we have nothing better than JS/CSS/HTML. And that will remain as long as we improve it. Stop improving it. Let it die to make place for something better.

What could it be? No one knows.

It's not about what it can do. It's about DX, mainly.

To continue my analogy:

You can use a hammer to do anything, including cutting fabric. But that would require you to do countless repeated and precise hits. And the world got used to using a hammer for cuttin fabric. Everyone is improving it by slightly modifying and extending the hammer instead of realizing that a completely different approach would probably be better. It stops us from inventing scissors.
