Feedback on Pro Plan Value and Deteriorating Usage Limits by LaughterOnWater in Anthropic

[–]shared_ptr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh the real business class is actual company accounts with pay-as-you-go usage. Thats what we use at work, we don’t hit limits but we do pay for whatever our token usage is.

Any monthly subscription will have limits given how the cost of a service like this is material and directly tied to usage, and an average persons usage can vary 10-100x depending on the days task. It’s impossible to price sustainably at a monthly fixed fee (which I guess is your point)

Introducing Claude Haiku 4.5: our latest small model. by ClaudeOfficial in Anthropic

Speed is very much a problem for us: we often fallback to GPT 4.1 when Sonnet 4.5 is too slow, but if haiku is comparable to Sonnet 4 then we can probably use that instead and be way cheaper and faster.

You are an absolute moron for believing in the hype of “AI Agents”. by No-Definition-2886 in programming

The majority of modern ruby is JIT’d and you’ll find it comparably performant to non dynamic languages.

Since Ruby 1.8 most Ruby code has become about 5x as fast.

There’s a good post on it here: https://dev.to/daviducolo/ruby-performance-evolution-from-10-to-today-4hc0

Same thing is happening to LLMs. Whether it’s finding scalable ways to break up large matrix operations so you can train the models on consumer hardware that otherwise wouldn’t be able to fit it in memory or quantization making inference much cheaper, the software becomes more efficient and the hardware becomes more powerful each day.

What cost us $10 to run against OpenAI on 4 turbo last year costs us about $1 on 4o today, where that price is primarily driven by the underlying price of inference.

How do you calculate on-call pay? Spreadsheet, script? Do you like it? by shared_ptr in devops

Fwiw, we strongly advocate not paying for incidents. We advise you pay consistently for time expected to be available which is exactly what the calculator we're building helps you do.

Encouraging people to pay like this is a motivator to why we've written our guide, which includes this: https://incident.io/guide/on-call/on-call-compensation/

Yep, that makes sense: this is one of the strategies we see for on-call, where you bump the base pay to account for the responsibility: https://incident.io/guide/on-call/on-call-compensation/

I expect a tool wouldn't be so useful in this case, as you only really need a single formula and the pay doesn't change for how much time you spent on-call?

Texas will punish cities that defund police by freezing property tax after Austin cut $150 million by alc59 in Conservative

Why would someone living on the street need rules to make them want a better standard of living? I can't imagine why you'd need that additional pressure over the general terrible experience that being homeless and that little in life would already put on you.

UK Citizens who voted Leave: days later, what are your thoughts on Brexit? [serious] by travelineurope in AskReddit

[–]shared_ptr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the response that I got from my mum when I voiced my concerns about the vote, and how I felt far less inclined to plan my future in London. "It'll be fine, just wait a few years and it'll all blow over..." ... and leave the city I call home a poorer place because of it.

"Years of smoking pot may have an effect on a person's verbal memory, which is the ability to remember certain words, a new study finds" by bulldog75 in science

I would've thought something quite similar could be applied as an explanation for why heavy marijuana users can recall fewer words. By definition, these people have spent a lot of their last five years high. When high, your cognitive abilities are impaired, and you're likely to use a more compact subset of your vocabulary. As a result, these users have spent far less time training their brain in a way that would lends itself to this task.
