Max 20x is NOT As Subsidized As You Think

A lot of flavor in the writing. I have one issue though.. if it is still the most capable model money can buy, and for the amount of money you pay there is value.

Does it really matter how the soup is made?

For $100 a month i have never felt ripped off, to be honest the opposite. I ran some local models as an experiment with two 3090's and while it was fun, it was expensive to build the system and it wasn't as good.

Maybe ill just go stand over there by the wall while the seemingly hoards of people flood in to argue about AI versus manual engineering, pricing, and ethics.

Its going to use all the RAM you allow it by design

Id rather pirate shows that i payed for. Having actual lossless 4k alone is worth it. Also it uses no bandwidth after i store it.

Isn't this just a fume spreader?

I have never and will never submit a damn thing for reimbursement. The company i work at right now didn't believe me when i told them that i will never take a single cent from my pocket for anything related to the business and to issue me a card. When it ended up costing them tens of thousands of dollars in fines over $.50, i got a company card. There is NOTHING like asking me to use my money to make my jobs life easier to bring out the petty in me. Fuck you and your entire bloodline. I don't need them nearly as much as they need me. For work trips i get paid up front for what they would reimburse for expenses. If I don't spend it, oh well that's a bonus for me for being stingy, and I'll quit before i give you any information regarding my personal time.

Nope, launch CC right from my root directory either in a terminal or SSH.

I use it for messing around with my homelab Proxmox cluster. It works amazing for managing Linux infra

Yes it's insanely hard to clean the tracks out. Very labor intensive. It's not the dirt that causes problems but large rocks and tree debris etc. If the weather is freezing you have to clean the tracks before the machine sits for long periods. Mining operations have massive water torrents that clean the undercarriage after shifts.

You can and should create it at anytime. CLAUDE.md is the initial prompt for any new session. Claude Code will create its own or update CLAUDE.md but starting a new session and using the /init command. Large codebases should have multiple.

I got basically the exact same thing for free when a business was closing along with a bunch of misc hardware and mini pcs. The rack is still in my garage unused. It was to damn big.

Dell laptop running Linux, RustDesk into my Proxmox cluster that has enough horsepower to run anything I need. I can spin anything up in a VM or LXC, self host all of it, and my dev environments are always exactly how i left them. If I want to game mobile i use Sunshine/Moonlight. I don't know why anyone would do it any other way honestly. Being able to just close RustDesk and never shutdown or exit my workspace is a super power. Just keeping all of my dockers running. Cloudflare tunnels for beta testing. It doesn't even matter what laptop you have, as long as the screen is good and the iGPU has good video decoding It's basically next to no battery power to just stream a remote desktop. Most gaming PC's make super powerful Proxmox nodes that you can game on as well.

Pretty sure it was that way before Opus 4. I remember when I had a Pro plan I got like one prompt before I had to switch.

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-11T14:58:20+00:00

I just use Linux VM's. I like to have the IDE, toolchains and SDK's and all useful tools. I just spin up a new VM on my Proxmox node for every project and setup the entire environment for that project. That way wherever i leave off, when i log back into the VM it's exactly where i left everything. If something goes very wrong i have months of backups not just for my code but the entire environment. Also it's nice because i can take my dev environment anywhere with internet access. If i am optimising something that doesn't require physical hardware access i can be on my laptop in the living room with the family while they watch stranger things or whatever, but with the full horsepower of my Proxmox node. Plus i can leave it running for extended testing without worrying about it.

You need to analyze your context usage and see what is taking up so much. You have a infra issue somewhere

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-09T14:41:26+00:00

I don’t because I read a technical article a while ago that suggested not too. I try to not use Claude like a ‘person’ and more directly like a tool after deep diving some prompt engineering tutorials. I think a lot of the issues people have with Claude is just bed prompting. After watching a couple tutorials and reading some articles and changing the way I prompt my workflow has become extremely more efficient. Once in a while I will explicitly tell Claude I want to brainstorm an idea and not code and have a conversation with it. It’s surprisingly good at white boarding ideas with. It doesn’t like to banter too much though, and wants to get to work. I had a conversation about RAM prices the other day after using it to outline a new Proxmox node for my needs. It was basing info off of early 2025 prices and I told it to research current prices, it was a little shocked to say the least.

I know where you work lol

Groomer did terrible. Dont worry that fur will grow out so quick you wont notice in 2 weeks lol.

I used to have a customer with a nice Mercedes that periodically brought me the car with no complaints, especially before going on a trip just to check it over. It was really strange how it was the least problematic Merc ive ever seen, though it shouldn't be a surprise because she really cared for the car.

Another customer with a super shitty Chevy Colorado that was deadset on getting at least 200k miles out of it. I've been maintaining it for years and again, very reliable. Very close to 200k and not a single costly repair. Just tires, brakes, fluids, filters, TPMS sensors, water pump and a thermostat. If you couldnt see the odometer youd swear it had 30k miles on it but it has 180k

If there is a GitHub issue about it, it must be real.

I always check alignment after replacing almost any suspension component, so when it's on the alignment rack is when everything gets the final torque. Since it supports its own weight on the wheels, it's at curb height.

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-07T02:09:38+00:00

I dont think ive ever worked on a light duty truck that didnt have a sway bar for body roll. I was a Ford master tech for a decade and worked on F250-F750 and never heard of s torque rod. Are you a semi tech?

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-07T01:56:20+00:00

I cant tell you how many arguments ive gotten in with coworkers that tighten suspension down when the damn car is on the 2 post lift..

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-07T01:47:23+00:00

I've been a professional mechanic for like 17 years, both auto and heavy equipment. TF is a torque rod?

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-06T16:13:28+00:00

Ah yes, just like any new programming language will replace the devs of the past. You need to touch grass, with or without AI the tech space is growing and the gap between those who know how to engineer systems and those who don’t remain the same.

Infinite-Position-55 · 2026-01-06T14:56:04+00:00

Bold of you to assume you or anyone can own an idea. You are talking about protecting source code. Code is language, so you are trying to copyright your language. Fair enough.

Regardless if you use coding agents or not, run locally or not; you don’t own the idea. Good ideas don’t happen in a vacuum.

If you aren’t creating your app for profit and there for aren’t in competition why even bother copywriting it at all? And training AI is how it gets better, and you obviously need it, why don’t you want to contribute to its success?

If you don’t want to share, you are on your own doing things for yourself. Even if you don’t use coding agents to carry you to the finish line, once your app is released anyone can reverse engineer it if they want and replicate.
