Dear OpenAI and Anthropic Sales Leaders
5 by kevinprince | 1 comments on Hacker News.
We've been going through enterprise sales processes with both of you, and I've encountered some practices I haven't seen before with other B2B vendors: Usage data availability: We're being told we can't access usage data for our existing accounts unless we sign a 12-month commitment. We need this data to make an informed purchasing decision. Pricing validity: Received a pricing link with 14-day validity. On day 13, we were told pricing had doubled and the original quote wouldn't be honored. I understand AI is a fast-moving market and everyone's scaling rapidly. But these create real trust issues for procurement teams trying to make informed decisions. Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with AI vendor negotiations? I'm hoping these are isolated issues rather than emerging patterns.

Yet another OpenClaw wrapper. But I really enjoyed the techy part of this project. Especially server provisionings in the background.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Reef – Bash compatibility layer for Fish shell, written in Rust
Show HN: Reef – Bash compatibility layer for Fish shell, written in Rust
2 by xbuben | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Fish is the fastest, friendliest interactive shell, but it can't run bash syntax, which has kept it niche for 20 years. Reef fixes this with a three-tier approach: fish function wrappers for common keywords (export, unset, source), a Rust-powered AST translator using conch-parser for structural syntax (for/do/done, if/then/fi, $()), and a bash passthrough with env capture for everything else. 251/251 bash constructs pass in the test suite. The slowest path (full bash passthrough) takes ~3ms. The binary is 1.18MB. The goal: install fish, install reef, never think about bash compatibility again. Your muscle memory, Stack Overflow commands, and tool configs all just work.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: WrapClaw – a managed SaaS wrapper around Open Claw
Show HN: WrapClaw – a managed SaaS wrapper around Open Claw
2 by kushagraagent | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN I built WrapClaw, a SaaS wrapper around Open Claw. Open Claw is a developer-first tool that gives you a dedicated terminal to run tasks and AI workflows (including WhatsApp integrations). It’s powerful, but running it as a hosted, multi-user product requires a lot of infra work. WrapClaw focuses on that missing layer. What WrapClaw adds: A dedicated terminal workspace per user Isolated Docker containers for each workspace Ability to scale CPU and RAM per user (e.g. 2GB → 4GB) A no-code UI on top of Open Claw Managed infra so users don’t deal with Docker or servers The goal is to make Open Claw usable as a proper SaaS while keeping the developer flexibility. This is early, and I’d love feedback on: What infra controls are actually useful Whether no-code on top of terminal tools makes sense Pricing expectations for managed compute Link: https://wrapclaw.com Happy to answer questions.

Tell HN: Apple Price Gouging
5 by kingkongjaffa | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I went looking for the latest line of apple computers I noticed they force you into the higher CPU's in order to get the higher amounts of unified memory. So not only are they content charging +$400 or +$600 for RAM which in itself ludicrously overpriced, they force you to upgrade +$1000-2000 on the top CPU's. Its impossible to spec a macbook pro or a mac mini with a base CPU and a decent amount of RAM. Total scam since they know people want the RAM to use with local LLMs. This was not always the case - When I specced out my macbook pro M1 16gb it was entirely possible to get 32 and 64gb without any tie-in to CPU upgrades. I was ready to drop a few grand on a new macbook pro M5 or M4 pro with a decent amount of RAM but it's currently set up to be an insane price gouge. To get 32GB of RAM it's an M5 chip price $1999. To get 64GB of RAM you are forced to to grab the M4 max CPU, and it's $3,899 on apple right now. What a scam.
