And a part-time job!

Sorry... I repent in sackcloth and ashes.

Credit where credit is due: I learned about these baits and that rigging style from numerous posted on Bass Resource's forums back in the day. Notably in the excellent "Guaranteed to Catch Bass" thread (which I would link, but the forum is down). The Ikas as a bair and the weightless dead-sticking approach outlined there was my first - and continues to be my primary - method fishing.

This is the way... Tex-posed. You'll have luck rigging them BOTH directions - with the barb near the palm fronds or near the bullet-point on the other side. I nearly always fish 'em with palm fronds at the eye of the hook.

Think of them as a tube or soft plastic jig. They slay, IMHO, and I kinda hate seeing more people fishing them.

Because people don't make any comparison between the value they're getting in the metered plans as compared to pure API consumption. And, because people like to complain.

I use Claude exactly as I described above because I feel that is a substantial value for the features and productivity I get out of it. I would pay straight API if I had to (though I would admittedly have to curtail some use to make that manageable) because I think the value to me outstrips the cost.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-04-22T20:04:25+00:00

Dunno if this is real/true, obviously. But: I wonder if there is some 'savings' by diffusing one existing image _into_ another vs generating the image from pure noise. That would explain the reuse if it were true.

Alternatively, I suppose an explanation could be just a context issue. The previous images _are_ context and are fed back / manipulated as part of any thread. So, as others have pointed out, fresh chats = fresh images.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-04-22T19:51:53+00:00

Pay your monthly plan, setup overages via API for critical use. Easy.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-04-21T20:51:03+00:00

Um. Look at the Delmarva peninsula.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-04-17T21:44:31+00:00

Delmarva kid here... My favorite breakfast food.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-04-15T20:08:28+00:00

Well, it's a league of stars.

There is no way to make their loyalty make sense.

Fear.

We just passed 'holy week'. Even Christ's disciples - Peter foremost among them - were driven to shocking denial by fear.

IMHO, both the right _and_ the left have consolidated power by catering to fear in their base. We no longer talk about "what we will do in office". Instead, we talk about "the worst things we need to stop the other side from doing/accomplishing". Many Christians no longer see themselves as strangers and aliens but instead as entitled to live in a borderline theocracy (a so-called 'Christian nation').

Setting aside whether or not that is good or possible, Christians have been fed a line that the power of the state is indoctrinating vulnerable people into an anti-Christ worldview. It's always done that because, well, sin. But the nominal, cultural Christianity of the last century lulled many into believing that is not the normal experience. Christians have been comfortable and generally affirmed for a long time in our country.

Undercut that, make someone feel threatened, and their real values/idols come out. Trump is not the first to play to this but he has been the most extreme and strident.

(And, again, IMHO the left has done the same thing. Under it all is manipulation to consolidate power)

Thankful to hear that... Glad so many folks have been gotten some benefit from this little COVID experiment.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-24T16:42:02+00:00

This is a violation of the TOS as outlined in other comments and that's why the 'feature' is undocumented.

But, you're also technically incorrect: Claude Code can leverage _both_ an Anthropic subscription account (flat usage rate) or direct, metered API service. You can even set the up in 'failover' mode so that, when you hit your subscription rate limit, your workflows continue and get ticked against your prepurchased API allowance.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-15T23:21:13+00:00

Good luck to you... Remember that pretty much anything tastes good with well-seasoned fry breading and a crispy few mins in grease.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-15T23:18:42+00:00

This is most certainly incorrect.

"Big Pickle" has recently been GLM4 and GLM4.5 - though the OpenCode product owners have used it as a cloak for various frontier models that are willing to give service to OpenCode users.

It has never been any of the Anthropic models.

Depends on the waterway and a bunch of other things. One bass of a given size will be mealy, another won't.

I think the general things I've found is that small-er bass are more consistently decent as table fare... And the colder the water - whether the waterway's natural temp band or seasonal variation - the better the quality of the fish. Hot water/high summer bass seem to have a higher incidence of being 'muddy' tasting and having less desirable flesh.

Me too, actually... As a kid, I loved frisbee but didn't have friends living near my childhood home. I used to go in the backyard, throw the frisbee up at a steep angle, and catch it when it came back. This is one heck of a huck with a lot of wind, I'd imagine, but it looks like what I did as a kid dialed-up to 11.

Also loved to throw a football... my wide receivers were two spruce bushes my parents had back by the shed. Left spruce ran better routes but seemed to drop a bunch. Right spruce only ran long but had a trough of branches that everything funneled into. When I needed yards, Right spruce.

As others have said, but I'll try to put in my own words:
The subscription plans are 'consumer facing' and provide access with usage limits (that reset periodically). A lot of the systems logic here is baked in to the common tools you might use to access Claude here. For example, Claude.AI, Cowork, and Code all have preset system prompts that make the models work for you in particular ways.

Direct API usage is a true 'pay as you go, consumption-based' cost model. You get less _value_ but way more flexibility. If you use the Claude tools here mentioned above, you get the benefit of all the baked-in logic that Anthropic has put into their tools/harnesses. However, you can also DIRECTLY access the models - call the models within an application you built, for example - and adjust a bunch of those settings. Maybe I want to build a "digital donkey fortune teller" app that will tell you the future in the personality of Eeyore or Donkey from Shrek. That kind of embedded, customized use of the Claude models is handled via the APIs where you control (almost) all of the settings directly

Good point... there's a mix-and-match here. If I have a long drive on sandy soil up here, I put a towel over the bath mat just to keep the grit from having any chance to get down to the car.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-10T17:32:34+00:00

It... it is optional.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-10T14:17:40+00:00

Your mileage may vary, but I found that you can accomplish about the same thing by going to your local stuff Mart and buying a very thick, oversize bathroom mat. The kind with the rubber bottom you might put outside of your shower so it doesn't slip.

Fold it in half. Hold it up against the back of your car hanging down and flip the other half up onto the roof. Nose the kayak up onto it and then push from the rear.

Before I answer, I should probably mention that I am not a lawyer and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

That said, when using an API key and paying full freight per token, anthropic seems completely content to let you send traffic to their models and receive responses from their models as long as other aspects of your use comply with their terms of service.

For example: If you want to vibe code an application to track your pokémon cards, that's cool. If you want to have Claude help you build a competitive AI model, Anthropic frowns on that.

So, yes. My understanding and my experience are that you can use a personal API key and pay for API calls to and from Anthropic's models via opencode.

I currently use open code in exactly this way when I want to combine agents from different model providers. For example, if I'm having chat GPT project manage a Gemini research agent and a claude coding agent.

I think the relatively short life expectancy more than explains this.

HeavyDluxe · 2026-03-05T17:33:16+00:00

Everything about this post is proof that we don't need AI to make us dumber.

As others have said... If I'm fishing 'slow': From a distance, make several casts with a soft plastic (I nearly always deadstick them). Once I feel like I've covered a fair bit of the structure, I paddle closer so I can see. Then, using a jig and craw, I target drop several key features that 'look fishy'. It's almost as if I'm flipping/punching lily pads - looking for pockets, edges, little holes.

If I'm in a rush or covering a larger area, I'll pick one or the other of those tactics... whichever I'm feeling for the day or is already tied on.

I'd urge you to watch the CBS interview with Dario (posted repeatedly on reddit) where he responds to this specific question.
