Two reasons combining at the same time: GPT Astra, and the Shopify CEO tweet.

Next he needs to tweet about ~/.agents/skills

19 out of 20 harnesses supporting the standard isn't "too early".

Tariq is wrong and it's not an antipattern. Reason being that a good AGENTS.md impacts all models in a positive manner. If it affects certain models negatively, it means you're putting the wrong things in it.


The 20x plan offers the same amount of monthly usage per dollar as the $100 plan. It offers 2x monthly usage of the $100 plan. It's incredibly deceptively named, the "20x" is only about the 5-hour window.

I'm convinced it's over 80%.

They try to make it feel that way, but you can. Just keep pressing escape/cancel, then it shows an errorish screen but from there it lets you continue without one

It took the Shopify CEO tweet and Astra causing a large move towards Codex for them to finally give in. It's hard to believe it was worth it in the end. On the other hand, most people will forget about this saga in a few months, so sadly it may just have been worth it.

What was the Tobi tweet?


Passkeys suck because only the wealthiest 5% of the world is all-in on one ecosystem (such as Apple) while the remaining 95% uses a Windows laptop, an Android phone and (for the top 5-35%ish) maybe an iPad. All of these OSes push hard to get you to store your passkeys with THEM so it ends up a shitshow with everything scattered everywhere.

And why do the OSes push for this so hard? Because the goal of the execs is lock-in and control. And their lackeys here on HN who implement this stuff and their families are the 1% who are all-in on one ecosystem so they arrogantly believe "this all works great and the masses are just too stupid to get it".


Title is missing "(YC S17)" after "Flock".

Correct. YC gotta wear their creations with pride.

They won’t have that sort of moment of self reflection until someone does something like use Flock infrastructure to stalk and assassinate the CEO of another YC company and then it will only be brief and fleeting before they double down on supporting this kind of egregious behaviour.

Some people are just wired that way.


I say these people should not be in charge of choosing who gets insane amounts of money and networking opportunities

They should not be in charge of anything, but being a sociopath gets you obscene amounts of money and puts you in charge of all sorts of things.

I wish this was just an anecdote rather than an axiom.

Let's just use Flock cameras to track all top-level YC people, publish everything we possibly can. Absolutely and utterly eliminate their privacy until they learn to respect ours.

"12 years ago PG tweeted something" is an extremely low impact data point.


Heh sorry, I didn't realize I'd grabbed on from so long ago. You're right. But just saying someone who doesn't tow the line with Israel laid a big part of setting out the culture of a whole network, and continues to role-model his declining to tow the line
