I've complained, extensively, about this before but Anthropic really needs to make it clear what is and is not supported with or without a subscription. Until then, it's hard to know where you stand with using their products.
I say all of this as someone who doesn't use OpenClaw or any Claw-like product currently. I just want to know what I can and can't do and currently it's impossible to know.
Very glad to see this finally happen. It's been in the rumors for a while now that Ternus would be the next CEO but the timeline was uncertain.
I'm interested to see what Ternus' first few moves are and how much he will avoid (or hopefully embrace) reversing some of the things Cook is responsible for.
He has a long row to hoe when it comes to things like developer relations but from what I've heard, he is one of the best options we had for the next CEO.

As it happens with most big corp c-suite transitions (see: Amazon), a lot of powerful executives will have to make way for the new CEO's chosen ones, and what those chosen few do (in lieu of asserting new found power) will dictate the short-term.
Johny is one of the most talented people I have ever had the privilege to work with. He has played a singular role in driving Apple's silicon strategy, and his influence has been felt deeply not just inside the company, but across the industry. He has always led his organization with remarkable deftness and judgment, and time and again, his team has delivered breakthrough innovations that have transformed our products. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as Apple's chief hardware officer.
It might be just an example of Hanlon's razor since 25% is close enough to the effective 21% max off (if you spend exactly $70). But really this is a "$15 off orders >$70" discount.
Agreed, while chaining can look very pretty, it's a pain to re-parse and a pain to modify.
It's the same reason I don't like this style of function:
.map(var => var.toUpperCase())
Sure, it's great today but but I want to debug it I need to add `{}` in and/or if I need to add a second operations I need to add the curly braces as well. That's I prefer explicit:
.map((var) => {
return var.toUpperCase();
})
Since it's much easier to drop in a debug line or similar without re-writing surrounding code. It also makes the git diff nicer in the future when you decided to do another operation within the `.map()` call.
I've asked many people to re-write perfectly functioning code for this same reason. "Yes, I know you can do it all in 1 line but let's create variables for each step so the code is self-documenting".
Don't forget your humble ifs. Add the {} even if it's one line and the language makes the block optional. You'll thank yourself in 1 year when you come back to that piece of code.
> AI features almost forced on us until the community complained
This was a wrong take back when it happened and it’s even more silly to bring it up now. No AI features were forced on anyone, it was opt-in and HN lost its mind over a nothing burger.
“Oh no! This software has a feature I don’t like which isn’t even enabled by default, whatever will I do?”
This is the first new model from Anthropic in a while that I'm not super enthused about. Not because of the model, I literally haven't opened the page about it, I can already guess what it says ("Bigger, better, faster, stronger"), but because of the company.
I have enjoyed using Claude Code quite a bit in the past but that has been waning as of late and the constant reports of nerfed models coupled with Anthropic not being forthcoming about what usage is allowed on subscriptions [0] really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'll probably give them another month but I'm going to start looking into alternatives, even PayG alternatives.
[0] Please don't @ me, I've read every comment about how it _is clear_ as a response to other similar comments I've made. Every. Single. One. of those comments is wrong or completely misses the point. To head those off let me be clear:
Anthropic does not at all make clear what types of `claude -p` or AgentSDK usage is allowed to be used with your subscription. That's all I care about. What am I allowed to use on my subscription. The docs are confusing, their public-facing people give contradictory information, and people commenting state, with complete confidence, completely wrong things.
I greatly dislike the Chilling Effect I feel when using something I'm paying quite a bit (for me) of money for. I don't like the constant state of unease and being unsure if something might be crossing the line. There are ideas/side-projects I'm interested in pursuing but don't because I don't want my account banned for crossing a line I didn't know existed. Especially since there appears to be zero recourse if that happens.
I want to be crystal clear: I am not saying the subscription should be a free-for-all, "do whatever you want", I want clear lines drawn. I increasingly feeling like I'm not going to get this and so while historically I've prefered Claude over ChatGPT, I'm considering going to Codex (or more likely, OpenCode) due to fewer restrictions and clearer rules on what's is and is not allowed. I'd also be ok with kind of warning so that it's not all or nothing. I greatly appreciate what Anthropic did (finally) w.r.t. OpenClaw (which I don't use) and the balance they struck there. I just wish they'd take that further.
I don't say "bro" but I do curse at LLM occasionally but only when using STT (which I'm doing 85% of the time). I wouldn't waste my time typing it but often it's easier to just "stream of consciousness" to the LLM instead of writing perfect sentences. Since when I'm talking to an LLM I'm almost always in "Plan" mode, I'm perfectly comfortable just talking for an extended bit of time then skimming the results of the STT and as long as it's not too bad I'll let it go, the LLM figures it out.
If I see it misunderstood, I just Esc to stop it, /clear, and try again (or /rewind if I'm deeper into Planning).
