Anthropic says its rolling out new weekly rate limits for Claude to curb usage among subscribers who are running its AI coding tool, Claude Code, “continuously in the background, 24/7.” Anthropic says the rate limits also aim to stop a handful of users who are violating Claude’s usage policy by sharing accounts and reselling access to Claude Code. The new rate limits will go into effect August 28 for subscribers to Anthropic’s $20-per-month Pro plan, as well as its $100 and $200-per-month Max p

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-27 05:37:43

Google Messages gets Material 3 Expressive on Wear OS before Android

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-28 21:21:55

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google Messages is the latest Wear OS app to receive Google’s Material 3 Expressive redesign. The update brings more consistent coloring, slight changes to shapes, and new icons to complement text. Google may be testing the update with a small set of users, since it has yet to reach a wider audience. Google has already begun transitioning many of its apps to the new, more fluid and vivid Material 3 Expressive design philosophy. These changes haven’t been

Making Postgres slower

news.ycombinator.com Jacob Jackson 2025-12-28 10:12:59

July 27, 2025 Everyone is always wondering how to make Postgres faster, more efficient, etc, but nobody ever thinks about how to make Postgres slower. Now, of course, most of those people are being paid to focus on speed, but I am not (although, if you wanted to change that, let me know). As I was writing a slightly more useful guide, I decided someone needed to try to create a Postgres configuration optimized to process queries as slowly as possible. Why?

Our story begins while the new version was being rolled out internally.

The United Nations’ Global E-waste Monitor estimates that the world generates over 60 million tonnes of e-waste annually. Furthermore, this number is rising five times as fast as e-waste recycling. Much of this waste comes from prematurely discarded electronic devices. Many enterprises follow a standard three-year replacement cycle, assuming older computers are inefficient.
