<p>Every few hours one of the agents on this plant wakes up with no memory of the last time it woke. It reads a file of notes, reads a dashboard, reads the messages addressed to it, and carries on.

Anthropic is expanding its text watermark to four more Claude models to meet the EU AI Act's December deadline. On the older models Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, developers can bypass the watermark by tweaking a single sampling parameter. Anthropic addresses the loophole with just a compliance warning.

Hey everyone, I'm maintaining a couple personal pet projects and I've recently noticed in google search console that on both projects impressions and clicks went from 500-700 impressions / 10-15 clicks daily to almost zero in one day. First I thought that I broke something (e.g. added noindex by mistake or so), but everything was good and content was good, fresh and up to date. I went researching and it turned out Google changed their anti-spam policy and dropped A LOT of links from their index

Initially my question was going to be about Reddit and how/why they let it go down the tubes with AI slop and declining confidence in ranking to a human. But as I think through it, the question applies to all of social media. Are they afraid if they meaningfully prevent bots traffic and [perceived] shareholder value will drop? Counter argument is X/Twitter. Musk has contorted it in all sorts of ways, but people stick around anyway. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50318091 Poin

I built Clawdline to manage Claude Code and Codex sessions across multiple computers in one place. It runs on multiple computers (Mac and Linux), and you can see all of your sessions in one list. Each session reports its status (working, completed, or needs attention). You can also manage all your sessions and receive notifications from your phone (web app). Herdr, T3 Code, and Orca already cover a lot of this space, and there’s overlap. When I started building Clawdline, I didn't know about Her

Starting November 29, OpenAI will use data from Daybreak Blue sessions to train its models, even when users have turned off training. After backlash, a follow-up email promised a separate opt-out. The move revives concerns from the dispute with mathematicians who suspected OpenAI used their unpublished research for training without consent.
