It's a phone number. It's probably been bought / sold a few times already. Unless you're on the level of Edward Snowden, I wouldn't worry about it. But maybe your sense of privacy is more valuable than the outcome you'd get from Claude. That's fine too.

It's my phone number... linked to my Google identity... linked to every submitted user prompt... linked to my source code. There's also been a spate of AI companies rushing to release products and having "oops" moments where they leaked customer chats or whatever. They're not run like a FAANG, they don't have the same security pedigree, and they generally don't have any real guarantee of privacy. So yes, my privacy i…

It's an anti abuse method. A valid phone number will always have a cost for spammers/multi accounters to obtain in mass, but will have no cost for the desired user base (the assumption is that every worthwhile user already has a phone).

Captchas are trivially broken and you can get access to millions of residential IP addresses, but phone numbers (especially if you filter out VOIP providers) still have a cost.

Interesting - can you elaborate a little on what you mean by agentic search here?

Since the Claude Code docs suggest installing Ripgrep, my guess is that they mean that Claude Code often runs searches to find snippets to improve in the context. I would argue that this is still RAG. There's a common misconception (or at least I think it's a misconception) that RAG only counts if you used vector search - I like to expand the definition of RAG to include non-vector search (like Ripgrep in this case),…

rag is an acronym with a pinned meaning now. just like the word drone. drone didnt really mean drone, but drone means drone now. no amount of complaining will fix it. :[

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

When I first started using Cursor the default behavior was for Claude to make a suggestion in the chat, and if the user agreed with it, they could click apply or cut and paste the part of it they wanted to use in their larger project. Now it seems the default behavior is for Claude to start writing files to the current working directory without regard for app structure or context (e.g., config files that are defined…

This is a question for Cursor team.

I wonder if they will offer competitive request counts against Cursor. Right now, at least for me, the biggest downside to Claude is how fast I blow through the limits (Pro) and hit a wall. At least with Cursor, I can use all "premium" 500 completions and either buy more, or be patient for throttled responses.

Reread the blog post, and I suspect Cursor will remain much more competitive on pricing! No specifics, but likely far exceeding typical Cursor costs for a typical developer. Maybe it's worth it, though? Look forward to trying. >Claude Code consumes tokens for each interaction. Typical usage costs range from $5-10 per developer per day, but can exceed $100 per hour during intensive use.

Until Cursor burns through their funding and gives up or increases their price.

It really is best in slot. Owe it to git, which has a particular synergy with a hallucination-prone but correctable system

I like Aider but I've turned off auto-commit. I just can't seem to let the AI actually commit code for me. Do you regularly let Aider commit for you? How much do you review the code written by it?

The auto-commits of Aider scared the crap out of me at first too, but after realizing I can just create a throwaway branch and let it run wild it ended up being a nice way to work.

I've been trying to use Sonnet 3.7 tonight through the Copilot agent and it gets frustrating to see the API 500 halfway through the task list leaving the project in a half baked state, and then and not feeling like I have a good "auto save" to pick up again from.

I don't let it auto commit, either. I don't like committing in a broken state, and the llm breaks things plenty often.

I create a feature branch, do the work and let it commit. I check the code as I go. If I don't like it, then I revert to a previous commit. Other times I write some code that it isn't getting right for whatever reason.

When it's ready, I squash merge into main.

I originally was against auto commit as well, but now I can’t imagine not using it. It’s essentially save points along the way. More than once, I’ve done two or three exchanges with Aider only to realize that the path that we were going down was not a good one.

Being able to get reset back to the last known good state is awesome. If you turn off auto commit, it’s a lot harder to undo one of the steps that the model takes. It’s only a matter of time until it creates nonsense, so you’ll really want the ability to roll it back.

Just work in a branch and you can merge all commits if you want at the end.

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

* You've spent more time talking about your Carnatic raga detector than actually building it – at this rate, LLMs will be composing ragas before your detector can identify them.

* You bought a 7950X processor but can't figure out what to do with it – the computing equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to the grocery store once a week.

* You're so concerned about work-life balance that you took a sabbatical to think about your career, only to spend it commenting on HN about other people's careers.

I'll be in my room crying, in case anyone's looking for me.
