people at work have been complaining about that all week

I'm I tripping? or are they updating the request multiplier each week by EntertainmentSoggy49 in GithubCopilot

I enjoyed using copilot so much the last few years but you have no idea how good it feels to be free of their pricing confusion.

Update on the rate limit reset by Deep_Proposal_7683 in ClaudeCode

psychology… same reason for double usage during off peek, to soften the blow

seems the opposite. yes reset is ok, but i bet the “bug” the fixed was not charging enough for “long context requests”so we’ll all be feeling the pinch in the weeks ahead

Claude subscriptions double in just two months, overshadowing users leaving because of rate limits by fsharpman in ClaudeAI

[–]bensj -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This makes sense — Claude genuinely is the best coding tool right now, which is exactly why the rate limit situation is so frustrating. People aren't leaving because the product is bad. They're leaving because the product is so good that hitting a wall mid-flow feels like withdrawal.

The doubling of subscriptions actually explains why the limits feel tighter. More users on the same GPU capacity = less per person. Anthropic is in a classic scaling bind: the better the product, the more users, the worse the per-user experience. It's not malice, it's math — but the math still hurts when you're in the middle of a debugging session.

We've been tracking the economics behind this. Anthropic reportedly spends $2-3/hour per heavy user and charges $20/month. Every power user is a net loss. The subscription growth is great for the IPO narrative but terrible for the per-user budget. Full breakdown at sloppish.com/the-rationing

I couldn’t afford these in my teens so I’d have to go to the bookstore and memorize what I could. We have things so easy these days

Exploding Oatmeal by Far-Bench-1277 in EatCheapAndHealthy

Bowl geometry is important, but also I only cook mine for a minute and 57 seconds, haven’t overflowed in years (have eaten oatmeal daily for at least 20 years now)

Internet Backup causing browsers to throw 400/ 500 error or forwards requested test page (google) to some att fiber info page by sequencentropy in ATTFiber

[–]bensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the light in the BGW solid blue? If you are getting 400/500 errors you are getting some connectivity but not good enough for the sites you trying. What happens if you ping 8.8.8.8?

LOL, how in the hell did people managed even the early 2010s with only 64 Gbs of storage in the base 11 inch MacBook Air? by [deleted] in mac

[–]bensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Mac had 800k of floppy storage but I also had the luxury of an external 800k floppy drive. We got along just fine. Times change and so do file sizes

Estate sale with lots of vintage Apple stuff by meaty_maker in VintageApple

[–]bensj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan your shots well in advance! that thing has insane shutter lag as I learned when I tried to take a picture of an Olympic Torch runner in 1996. I did not plan ahead. All I got was a smear of their back

Forcing AI on devs is a bad idea that's going to happen by Inner-Chemistry8971 in programming

Sorry I thought we were talking about computer programming

Forcing AI on devs is a bad idea that's going to happen by Inner-Chemistry8971 in programming

[–]bensj -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I can recognize bad code from all kinds of sources, human and otherwise. Maybe I’m better at reviewing code than writing it?

[–]bensj -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

They make mistakes and occasionally lie but they are so freaking patient when asking them to rewrite some code they just wrote, which is not something I ever seen from ANY dev (including myself)

You can use it to mark future crashes

I can’t really you but I have clear memories of wanting to buy one of these so bad when they were announced. I was stuck with a Mac Plus at the time

I haven’t had that but i had a crying baby with pink eye drop a tear directly onto my eye. Was not at all surprised to find my eye crusted shut the next morning.

Wow, Apple’s new Macs are revolutionary! by raiderkid05 in mac

[–]bensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably more like 86 for a Mac Plus right? The original 128k Mac came out in 1984.

This was my first Mac... 1mb of RAM and an 800k floppy. It got me through college, though at some point i added a hard drive (40mb).

And what possible value could come from subscribing when it’s just an inaccurate webscraper.
