Sonnet 4.5 was two weeks ago. In the past I never had such issues, but every week my quota ended in 2-3 days. I suspect the Sonnet 4.5 model consumes more usage points than old Sonnet 4.1
I am afraid Claude Pro subscription got 3x less usage
Yeah. I definitely don’t get as much usage out of Sonnet 4.5 as 5x Opus 4.1 should imply.
What bothers me is that nobody told me they changed anything. It’s extremely frustrating to feel like I’m being bamboozled, but unable to confirm anything.
I switched to Codex out of spite, but I still like the Claude models more…
Anecdata point - I’ve been running for around 3-4 hours this morning constantly using Haiku and it hasn’t hit the limit - currently at 74% and it resets in 1.5 hours. I think it’s safe to say you get a fair bit more usage over Sonnet.
Still trying to judge the performance though - first impression is that it seems to make sudden approach changes for no real reason. For example - after compacting, the next task I gave it, it suddenly started trying to git commit after each task completion, did that for a while, then stopped again.
I got that 'close to weekly limits' message for an entire week without ever reaching it, came to the conclusion that it is just a printer industry 'low ink!' tactic, and cancelled my subscription.
You don't take money from a customer for a service, and then bar the customer form using that service for multiple days.
Either charge more, stop subsidizing free accounts, or decrease the daily limit.
These days, running `/usage` in Claude Code shows you how close you are to the session and weekly limits. Also available in the web interface settings under "Usage".
My mistake. It's good that it's available in settings, even if it's a few screens away from the 'close to weekly limits' banner nagging me to subscribe to a more expensive plan.
I had never picked up on the nuance of the V-K test. Somehow I missed the salience of the animal extinction. The questions all seemed strange to me, but in a very Dickian sort of way. This discussion was very enlightening.
Just read Do Androids Dream of Electric sheep, I’d highly recommend it. It’s quite different than Blade Runner. It leans much heavier into these kinds of themes, there’s a whole sort of religion about caring for animals and cultivating human empathy.
The book is worth reading and it's interesting how much they changed for the movie. I like having read the book, it makes certain sequences a little more impactful.
I never played Angband but got into the closely related Sil. Totally agree on your characterization (and a fan of your HN posts for well over a decade).
My media center is a laptop with a broken screen, running Arch Linux and Kodi. Kodi has a web interface that you can stream to. Why might I want to add Jellyfin?
Because you can give your friends a login, they can log in from anywhere, and watch your content.
Same for you. You can log in from anywhere and do that. Kodi is more of a local thing, I find the two compliment each other very well.
There are native apps for jellyfin as well. Loaded up and hit play.
I guess you can probably do this with Kodi but it hasn't been designed from the ground up for this use case.
Same here. I never could figure out why I'd want to use anything else. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, whatever. Nothing beats the simplicity of a couple of terrabytes on a local drive, or if you want to get fancy, a NFS share.
Honestly, Kodi is even a little more heavyweight than I need, but I've been using it since long before the XBMC->Kodi name change and have been happy with it.
The most useful part of Jellyfin is on-the fly transcoding to whatever bit rate I want at any particular time, no matter where I might be. I've watched stuff off my server on a train with terrible connectivity by setting it to 360p. If you only watch at home, then it's probably not that useful to you. I also like all the library features and tracking my per episode watch history for shows.
Cybersecurity has two sides: business and tech. It is invaluable to the business side, particularly in terms of making risks and threats legible, demanding mitigation and insurance strategies, compliance and certification.
Cybersecurity on the tech side, for most firms, is laughable. It indeed follows the herd model, where no one ever got fired for following "best practices", like forced password rotation every two weeks with no password reuse and absurd character requirements.
It takes a firm like Google to innovate with BeyondCorp / ZeroTrust initiatives and innovations. The rest of us are waiting for npm update to finish while CrowdStrike is consuming half the CPU of our MacBook Airs.
I predicted your #1 was Jordan Peterson. Tony Robbins just made an appearance on Theo Von's podcast, This Past Weekend. I haven't watched it yet, but Theo is fantastic at getting his guests to open up. I am deeply skeptical of Tony Robbins overall, but I'll probably queue up the podcast soon.
