How does this deal with rain?

Interesting theory. The Claude Code instance says it's using this user agent based on the guidelines in the EDGAR Fair Access Policy:
https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-search-assistance/a...
...which indeed requests that bots supply `User-Agent: Sample Company Name AdminContact@<sample company domain>.com`.
So in this case, the site just asked nicely and Claude Code complied. Note that this wouldn't have worked for Claude Chat, which the author was testing, because the `web_fetch` tool cannot set the User-Agent or other headers.

I could see it right there in the tool call:

Claude code decided to just put my name and email in the User-Agent when scraping docs from the SEC. No clever prompting required.
It’s not a terrible idea really, but I wish it would’ve asked me first.

> ultrasound is not CT
They're using "CT" in its literal sense: tomography*, using computers. In this case, ultrasound is the penetrating wave rather than x-ray. It is of course a very different thing than what the medical world knows as "CT" today.

The money still comes from somewhere. In this case, those index funds will be forced to trim holdings of other companies. So it's cannibalizing other parts of the stock market.

There are several errors here. When the eye ages, the lens stiffens, effectively decreasing the focal range. For nearsightdness, Lasik alters the cornea and moves the relaxed focal distance outward. It's possible that a nearsighted person wouldn't need reading glasses even as their focal range decreases, but would after Lasik.

I don't disagree about TP-Link's security reputation. But I think they're an independent Chinese company, not a Cisco brand.

I'll upgrade my M1 MBA when they do. I remember my Intel MBP running noticeably hotter when plugged in on one side vs the other, so maybe it's trickier than it seems.

Mostly I'm worried about bit rot, i.e. breaking changes in subsequent iOS updates. But your point is valid, I'll try Nintype again. It's extremely quirky and opinionated in an entertaining way.
