I figured they would do this when SoftBank acquired them.

SB likes 10x buys.

It's HD and ai and 5G and and that

Happens in Canada too. Calling them out can be dangerous, people have been injured.

Big "Kill them with kindness" energy.

I have my own harness I wrap Claude CLI in, I wonder if I'm breaking the rules...

If you're not paying full-fat API prices, then probably.

From what I've heard, the metrics used by Anthropic to detect unauthorized clients is pretty easy to sidestep if you look at the existing solutions out there. Better than getting your account banned.

No, they specifically said it’s only if you’re trying to build a whole other product for public consumption on top of it

If you’re just essentially calling claude -p you’re fine

Neither was either of mine, but I don't advertise them and specifically don't post them on social media

I think that's a cool project, though I found the results to be less relevant than Google.

Whether the results are less relevant or not depends massively on what you searched and whether the best results even exist in the Marginalia search index or not.

If Google is ranking small web results better than Marginalia, that’s actionable.

If the best result isn’t in the index and it should be, that’s actionable.

Well to be fair, Marginalia is also developed by 1 guy (me), and Google has like 10K people and infinite compute they can throw at the problem. There has been definite improvements, and will be more improvements still, but Google's still got hands.

Hey Marginalia, cheers. Imo fewer hands can also be an advantage.

There are no PMs breathing down your neck to inject more ads in the search results, you don’t depend on any broken internal bespoke tools that you can’t fix yourself, and you don’t need anybody’s permission to deploy a new ranking strategy if you want to.

I've used Marginalia to search for technical documentation before, unironically. Whatever it does find is pretty much guaranteed to be non-slop.

I get it, but it makes me sad.

At least I already have it in my library so, looks like I still get updates.

This is not what is advertised, and if it was there would be no money in it.

I've been alive for several decades and almost nothing I've gotten was exactly as advertised.

I'm not saying that's good, but it's consistent with reality.

Consistent with what you think of as reality. For all you know, you're being Truman Show'ed.

How do they know? Not everybody includes to coauthored by Claude. I certainly don't.
