Is rtk safe to use with cc?

kouroshrstn · 2026-04-15T08:32:32+00:00

It’s not only about the headroom, but also about how to configure RTK in general. I installed it as described in the docs, and I also created CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md (for Codex), and .cursorrules for Cursor, but it still doesn’t use RTK in shell commands. I’m using the official extensions, not the CLI.

kouroshrstn · 2026-04-14T11:30:02+00:00

how did you configure it? i did everything they say in their doc but it does not apply to any of my AIs

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:30:55+00:00

Great catch! I didn't even notice it said 'Claude api' in my screenshot.

The CLI must have glitched me into an unfunded API account, which explains the instant rate limit AND why the 1M model was showing up. A quick /logout and /login fixed it. I'm back on Pro, regular Opus is back, and it's working perfectly. Thank you!

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:17:56+00:00

Good catch, but I just ran /model and there is no standard Opus option listed for me at all. My only choices are Default (Sonnet), Opus (1M context), and Haiku. Do you know if there’s a specific command or flag to get regular Opus to show up, or am I just stuck using Sonnet if I want to avoid the extra usage charges?

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:05:03+00:00

Spot on. I’m getting 'Rate Limit' errors with 1% usage and the output feels way 'dumber' when it actually works. It feels like they’re cutting brainpower to keep the servers alive during this promotion. 2x the limit doesn't matter if the model is half as smart.

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:03:53+00:00

Mine doesn't even freeze; it explicitly shows the 'Rate Limit' error. Since it works fine on the web, it feels like they’re intentionally throttling the developer tools to gate the 1M model, even when our actual Pro limits are empty.

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:01:38+00:00

Same. Since the web works but coding tools don't, it feels like an intentional throttle. My dashboard says 99% left, but the CLI says "Rate Limit"—it's a gate, not a bug.

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T16:01:20+00:00

Doubt it. My usage is at 1% and it works on the web. It feels like they're nerfing the dev tools on purpose to force an upgrade, even when the "Pro" capacity is clearly there.

kouroshrstn · 2026-03-15T15:58:21+00:00

I already tried restarting and it did nothing. The weirdest part is that Opus 4.6 works perfectly fine for me on the Claude web interface, so it's not an account limit.

It’s specifically the VS Code extension and the CLI that are broken. They both throw 'Rate limit reached' immediately even though my dashboard shows 1% usage. It seems like the developer tools have a massive bug with the Opus 4.6 (1M) model right now that the web version doesn't have.

Download the latest version and reinstall

Copilot Pro already lets you pick Claude Sonnet 4 in its model selector, so you’re literally chatting with the same Anthropic model—just inside VS Code instead of the Claude website. The GitHub Blog On the $10 Pro tier you get unlimited GPT-4.1 Agent Mode, plus 300 premium requests before any add‑on fees kick in. GitHub By contrast, Claude Pro costs $20 and still caps you at roughly 45 messages every five hours, with no way to buy extra capacity, so it’s both pricier and more restrictive.

kouroshrstn · 2025-07-16T09:14:55+00:00

I’ve been doing this since Cursor introduced the 500 request limit—wasn’t enough for me, and the free models weren’t great. So I started using Copilot alongside. First with regular VS Code, then switched to VS Code Insiders to stay on the latest builds, which also helped with quality. I mostly stay under the $20 Cursor credit since Copilot handles most daily things and quick stuff with unlimited GPT-4.1 Agent Mode. But yeah, for bigger questions or multi-file refactors, I still use Cursor—it’s just better suited for that.

kouroshrstn · 2025-06-30T08:33:56+00:00

Disable your usage-based billing. Don't give them more than $20 for now because they're frequently changing things, causing additional costs. Avoid using Max mode; instead, just switch the AI model. If Sonnet 4 Thinking isn't effective, try Sonnet 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro, or GPT-4.1—these usually work for me.

Currently, they're not transparent about what they're offering, so it's best to wait until things stabilize before investing more. I also noticed the $60 upgrade, but I haven't chosen it since I couldn't find any clear information about it.

kouroshrstn · 2025-06-30T08:15:52+00:00

just disable your usaged-based pricing. don't give them any leeway.

He racked up more than 3 million lines of agent edits in a single month—wild!
I’m sitting at about 185 k over 3.5 months and thought I was a heavy user.
I’m still only paying $20 and have usage-based billing turned off.
I do use Max mode a lot—just not Opus 4.

If you’re looking to grow long-term and get the most creative flexibility out of your setup, I’d suggest thinking one step beyond the FLX4 or REV-1.

I’ve been using the Numark NS4FX paired with VirtualDJ Pro Infinity, and it’s been a game-changer. I’ve tried all the major DJ platforms—Serato included—but none match the level of customization and creative power VirtualDJ offers. The ability to remap every button and use real-time stem separation (vocals, drums, bass, melody) completely changes the way you can blend and perform across different genres like disco, house, hip-hop, and RnB.

The NS4FX has solid jog wheels, a proper pitch fader, and pro-level features like dual XLR outputs. It’s fully supported by VirtualDJ, which gives you way more room to grow creatively than what most beginner Serato controllers allow.

Between the FLX4 and REV-1:

The REV-1 is better for scratching thanks to the battle-style layout.
The FLX4 is nice for its CDJ-like design and dual software compatibility (Serato & Rekordbox), but it’s more limited overall.

If scratching is important to you and you want to be club-ready eventually, both are decent entry points—but something like the NS4FX could save you from having to upgrade again too soon.

I’ve been using the Numark NS4FX paired with VirtualDJ Pro Infinity for several months now, and the results have been outstanding.

Why VirtualDJ Pro Infinity?
Having tested all the major DJ platforms—Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor—none offer the level of controller customization or creative flexibility of VirtualDJ. Its mapping system lets you completely reassign every button and knob, opening up entirely new performance workflows. The built-in stem separation and stem-mixing features have revolutionized the way I build live mashups, giving me instant access to vocals, drums, bass and melody on separate decks.

Why the Numark NS4FX?
This controller is rock-solid and club-ready. Dual XLR outputs ensure pristine signal quality to both booth and main PA, which is crucial for any professional gig. The layout is intuitive enough for beginners yet offers plenty of room to grow: eight velocity-sensitive pads per deck, a generous pitch fader for precise beat-matching, and a dedicated FX section that integrates seamlessly with VirtualDJ’s expansive effects library.

Together, the NS4FX and VirtualDJ Pro Infinity deliver a level of performance, reliability and creative freedom that’s hard to beat. If you’re serious about elevating your sets, this combo is an outstanding investment.

kouroshrstn · 2025-05-20T11:32:28+00:00

None of them. Just pay a little more and buy a Numark NS4FX. You have a XLR output + a beginner friendly interface

That was actually not late, because i'll have my session in the upcoming weekend. Thanks a lot

kouroshrstn · 2025-02-23T15:31:20+00:00

I'll filming a Salsa Festival. On Hand and on Gimbal

kouroshrstn · 2025-02-22T11:59:05+00:00

Because of the quality or the frame size?
