I'm glad it's not just me - the failure mode you and the parent discuss is a huge part of why I just don't use Claude anymore.

I've never had this issue with GLM or DeepSeek.

My gut feeling is that Moonshot are probably ZDR but their terms are excessively permissive.

That said, I wouldn't rule out OpenRouter misclassifying - I've seen some providers where I'm fairly sure they have.

Indeed - I was a bit surprised by them mentioning this to be honest, since, as I understand it, this is kind of a widely accepted limitation of setTimeout - it's purely a 'best effort' timer. It's not intended to be something where "yes after exactly Xms it'll execute.

I think the simple and boring answer is it really depends. As you say, your commute is short, but also I think there's just a personality element to it. Some people absolutely thrive and are way more productive remotely (and I think HN skews towards that type of person), and other people are the opposite, losing their minds if they don't have colleagues beside them to talk and collaborate with.

I suspect they also know full well that the global ones will be resold in China.

You mean like the time I had a salesperson demanding that we turn off Cloudflare across our entire domain because he'd read some random article somewhere saying we should?

I really don't think so. Their competitors have much, much better offerings here, so it's clearly not a limitation of the technology.

Indeed - they're fantastic for specific use-cases, i.e. ECS where instances are "disposable" but they're the last thing you want for something you want running continuously.

Logic is a weird one. It has really truly excellent included instruments (such as Alchemy) and effects, but the app itself feels rather outdated. The mixer, whilst having had some nice features added since Logic 9, is in dire need of an update.

This is not a good argument as to why we should break encryption.

Rather, it's an argument that law enforcement should start engaging with those groups on telegram directly, i.e. setting up stings etc and just actually go and catch them. Do some good old police work.

If you're able to find them on telegram, clearly law enforcement are capable too, if they're resourced and willing. Encryption isn't the problem here.

Indeed and this is the other thing - even if Telegram don't themselves co-operate with law enforcement, it'd be fairly easy for law enforcement to request access to the phone number from the carrier, then use it to sign into the Telegram account in question and access all of the messages.

Indeed. Even being charitable and assuming that they're not lying (they say elsewhere that they've shared zero bytes with law enforcement, despite this being demonstrably false), in reality if say, they were to arrest the founder in an EU country (France, perhaps), all they need to do is threaten him with twenty years in prison and I'm sure he'll gladly give up the keys from all the different locations they supposedly have.

I know it's a minor detail but the other day I was using Windows for something and I was amazed by how sluggish even task manager felt.

Funnily enough from the way that he talks in his videos I always assumed he wasn't that knowledgeable, until I found out more about him and realised what an incredibly skilled programmer he actually is.

I think maybe he just comes off that way because of how he presents things in videos.

It's interesting because I actually do agree with you entirely but unfortunately I suspect this is a fairly common issue.

I think unfortunately there's a lot of software developers who (and I'll happily include myself in this), think they know better and that they don't have to worry about malware because they use 'common sense'.

One of the biggest issues that I find people tend not to understand is that, even if you find the malware very quickly, and remove it, it only takes a matter of seconds for it to steal credentials / sessions / other sensitive data and send them to who only knows where.
