> The current recommended model is Claude Opus 4.8.

Staying well behind the frontier, just in case.

I am one of the developers behind the Official Charts site, so thank you for posting the story. It's heartwarming to know that something I have worked on has helped you on this journey - even if it's in a very small capacity, maybe you wouldn't have connected the dots otherwise. Hopefully this means my work has helped others in the same way!

The article explicitly says "The current version switching from 256k to 1M does not affect the cache."

The outage list at the top is up to date, but the main status page is nearly three months old - the last updated date at the end is April 20, 2026.

Yes, there are multiple competing providers - all the electricity comes from a single grid but competition in how you are billed for usage.

Many people choose a single fixed or variable rate tariff, but there are also off-peak tariffs that are very cheap at night but slightly more expensive in the day (designed for EV users), or even tariffs where the rate changes every 30 minutes depending on what is being generated - in this case when there is excess solar and wind generation then sometimes the rate even goes negative and you are paid to use the excess power.

It sounds like a combination of the Download Monitor plugin plus a misconfiguration at the web server level resulted in the file being publicly accessible at that URL when the developers thought it would remain private until deliberately published.

This comment reminded me to check whether https://www.distributed.net/ was still in existence. I hadn't thought about the site for probably two decades, I ran the client for this back in the late 1990s back when they were cracking RC5-64, but they still appear to be going as a platform that could be used for this kind of thing.

I also wonder how many of the numerous AI proponents in HN comments are subject to the same effect. Unless they are truly measuring their own performance, is AI really making them more productive?

It seems this is because the string "autoregressive prior" should appear on the right hand side as well, but in the second image it's hidden from view, and this has confused it to place it on the left hand side instead?

It also misses the arrow between "[diffusion]" and "pixels" in the first image.
