Optimizing my sleep around Claude usage limits

For the past 4 weeks I have been managing my sleep schedule around maximizing the usage of my Claude Pro subscription. Every five hours your Claude session usage is reset. When I first began using Claude Code daily, this limit would often come at inconvenient times. I would be in flow, vibing with Claude on my B2B SaaS side project. Unfortunately, just as I was stepping into Claude's mind like I'm Raz, the dreaded usage warning would appear. Your limit will reset at 7am. But I was just getting t

Get Your Heart Rate Up With These HIIT Workout Programs

Cardio is more enjoyable when you can take a run in a beautiful location or take your time riding your bike around. However, that's not always an option. This is why high-intensity interval training workouts exist. These are fast-paced, quick workouts in a short amount of time, such as 30 seconds at a time with 30 seconds of rest

Were you an AT&T customer in 2024? You might be owed up to $5,000

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T will pay $177 million to settle claims over two major 2024 data breaches. Impacted customers can claim up to $5,000 for documented losses, depending on the breach. Claims must be filed by November 18. If you were an AT&T customer caught up in one or both of the carrier’s big 2024 data breaches, you could be eligible for a cash payout. In some cases, it might be thousands of dollars. As detailed by Top Class Actions, AT&T has agreed to a $177 mi

This $10 watch band made my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic so much better

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks (my review is coming soon), and my experience with the smartwatch has been great so far. The Watch 8 Classic looks fantastic, it’s loaded to the brim with health features, and the rotating bezel is oh-so-good. However, throughout the majority of my time wearing the smartwatch, I haven’t been using the leather watch band that came included in the box. Instead, I’ve been wearing the Ga

PHP compile time generics: yay or nay?

One of the most sought-after features for PHP is Generics: The ability to have a type that takes another type as a parameter. It's a feature found in most compiled languages by now, but implementing generics in an interpreted language like PHP, where all the type checking would have to be done at runtime, has always proven Really Really Hard(tm), Really Really Slow(tm), or both. But, experimentation by the PHP Foundation's dev team suggests we may be able to get 80% of the benefit for 20% of th

The current state of LLM-driven development

I spent the past ~4 weeks trying out all the new and fancy AI tools for software development. Let’s get a few things out of the way: Learning how to use LLMs in a coding workflow is trivial. There is no learning curve. You can safely ignore them if they don’t fit your workflows at the moment. LLMs won’t magically make you deliver production-ready code If you can’t read the code and spot issues, they’re hard to use past the PoC stage They have terrible code organization skills, making them los

Quantum Computers Are Here and They’re Real. You Just Haven’t Noticed Yet

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical supercomputer. The reality of quantum computers hasn’t quite lived up to its hype, however. Claims of “quantum advantage”—problems regular computers can’t solve but quantum computers can—draw criticism from both skeptics and enthusiasts in the field. Certainly, we’ve seen genuinely impressive advancem

Apple pushes back on Fintiv’s latest litigious attempt to profit off Apple Pay

Fintiv, a firm you’ve probably only heard of in the context of patent litigation, is once again suing Apple over Apple Pay. Apple’s secure mobile payment solution launched over a decade ago in 2014. Fintiv has been unsuccessfully suing Apple over Apple Pay since 2018. Apple is not hiding its frustration. In a statement to 9to5Mac, the company accused the Texas-based firm of trying to “distract from their failed patent case” with a new set of allegations. “The court has repeatedly rejected Fint

Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They've warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic's AI training now threatens to "financially ruin" the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement. Last week, Anthropic petitioned to appeal the class certification, urging the court to weigh questions that the district court judge, William

GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding

OpenAI released GPT-5 yesterday, promoting it as their best model yet for agentic coding. When it arrived in my GitHub Copilot this morning, I immediately decided to test it with a complex, long-running agentic coding task — and later gave the exact same task to Claude 4 Sonnet 4 for comparison. While this isn't a tightly controlled scientific comparison — more of a "vibe check" — both models impressed me with their results. It's worth noting that while Claude Sonnet has been established for co

Show HN: Octofriend, a cute coding agent that can swap between GPT-5 and Claude

Get Started npm install --global octofriend And then: octofriend About Octo is a small, helpful, cephalopod-flavored coding assistant that works with any OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible LLM API, and allows you to switch models at will mid-conversation when a particular model gets stuck. Octo can optionally use (and we recommend using) ML models we custom-trained and open-sourced (1, 2) to automatically handle tool call and code edit failures from the main coding models you're work

That compares to 62.3% with Claude Sonnet 3.7 and 72.5% with Claude Opus 4. More specifically, the updated model is better at “in-depth res

Claude Fans Threw a Funeral for Anthropic’s Retired AI Model

On July 21 at 9 am PT, Anthropic retired Claude 3 Sonnet, a lightweight model known for being quick and cost-effective. On Saturday, in a large warehouse in San Francisco’s SOMA district, more than 200 people gathered to mourn its passing. The star-studded funeral was put on by a group of Claude fanatics and Gen Z founders, one of whom told me he dropped out of college after learning about artificial general intelligence. Attendees included Amanda Askell, an Anthropic researcher who has jokingl

15 TikTok Videos About ‘Clankers’, a New Slur for Robots

Terms like “social media,” “podcast,” and “internet” emerged years ago as ways to talk about the latest advancements in the world of technology. And over the past month, we’ve seen some new terms popping up in the world of tech, from clanker to slopper, even if they seem to be mostly tongue-in-cheek at this point. What’s a clanker? It’s a derogatory word for a robot, a term coined in 1920 for a Czech play about dangerous mechanical men. And given the fact that humanoid robots are still pretty r
