Since its behind an account wall, I can't tell if they are saying that Opus made the clone for cheaper or that Opus failed? It appears that Fable did far more "work" based on output tokens.

Aside: We should just ban Twitter links. Nobody should be required to make an account to view content on here.

On the aside, where's the difference between someone posting a Twitter link and an Economist link? Both are locked behind a wall, whether it account-wall or pay-wall.
We can ban those too.
if we would ban everything that is not 100%: free, ad-free, tracker free

what would we be left to read? couple of snarky remarks and maybe 2-3 paragraph of coherent text.

journalism is a job! money has to come from somewhere

Well, restricting posts to those actually accessible isn't unreasonable. Allowing them is HN's worst policy, in my humble opinion.
The Economist isn't owned by someone who cheats at video games, subverts the government, and thinks Nazi salutes are funny.
Yeah, I have to manually edit the URL to be xcancel instead every time. Maybe there's a grease monkey script around that handles this kind of thing. I can write one if not.

Edit: going to try this out https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/531615-x-com-to-xcancel-co...

A general one that covers xcancel:

Use this:

Redirect: https://x.*

to: https://xcancel.$1

Same with medium. Why?
