What do you even do then as a student? I've asked this dozens of times with zero practical answers at all. Frankly I've become entirely numb to it all.

Be glad that you are empowered to pivot - I'm making the assumption you are still young being a student. In a disrupted industry you either want to be young (time to change out of it) or old (50+) - can retire with enough savings. The middle age people (say 15-25 years in the industry; your 35-50 yr olds) are most in trouble depending on the domain they are in. For all the "friendly" marketing IMO they are targeting…

Not enough resources to get another bachelors, and a masters is probably practically worthless for a pivot. I would have to throw away the past 10 years of my life, start from scratch, with zero ideas for any real skill-developing projects since I'm not interested at all. Probably a completely non-viable candidate in anything I would choose. Maybe only Robotics would work, and that's probably going to be solved quickly because:

You assume nothing LLMs do are actually generalization. Once Field X is eaten the labs will pivot and use the generalization skills developed to blow out Field Y to make the next earnings report. I think at this current 10x/yr capability curve (Read: 2 years -> 100x 4 years -> 10000x) I'll get screwed no matter what is chosen. Especially the ones in proximity to computing, which makes anything in which coding is secondary fruitless. Regulation is a paper wall and oligopolies will want to optimize as much as any firm. Trades are already saturating.

This is why I feel completely numb about this, I seriously think there is nothing I can do now. I just chose wrong because I was interested in the wrong thing.

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

Wow brutal roasts

It is API billing like AWS - you pay for what you use. Every time you exit a session we print the cost, and in the middle of a session you can do /cost to see your cost so far that session! You can track costs in a few ways and set spend limits to avoid surprises: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...

What I really want (as a current Pro subscriber) is a subscription tier ("Ultimate" at ~$120/month ?) that gives me priority access to the usual chat interface, but _also_ a bunch of API credits that would ensure Claude and I can code together for most of the average working month (reasonable estimate would be 4 hours a day, 15 days a month). i.e I'd like my chat and API usage to be all included under a flat-rate sub…

I don’t think you need to be a business to use the API? At least I’m fairly certain I’m using it in a personal capacity. You are never going to hit $120/month even with full-time usage (no guarantees of course, but I get to like $40/month).

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

When I first started using Cursor the default behavior was for Claude to make a suggestion in the chat, and if the user agreed with it, they could click apply or cut and paste the part of it they wanted to use in their larger project. Now it seems the default behavior is for Claude to start writing files to the current working directory without regard for app structure or context (e.g., config files that are defined elsewhere claude likes to create another copy of). Why change the default to this? I could be wrong but I would guess most devs would want to review changes to their repo first.

So far only o1 pro was breathtaking for me few times. I wrote a kind of complex code for MCU which deals with FRAM and few buffers, juggling bytes around in a complex fashion. I was very not sure in this code, so I spent some time with AI chats asking them to review this code. 4o, o3-mini and claude were more or less useless. They spot basic stuff like this code might be problematic for multi-thread environment, thos…

I struggle to get o1 (or any chatgpt model) is getting it to stick to a context.

e.g. I will upload a pdf or md of an library's documentation and ask it to implement something using those docs, and it keeps on importing functions that don't exist and aren't in the docs. When I ask it where it got `foo` import from, it says something like, "It's not in the docs, but I feel like it should exist."

Maybe I should give o1 pro a shot, but claude has never done that and building mostly basic crud web3 apps, so o1 feels like it might be overpriced for what I need.

Have you tried Grok 3 thinking? I haven’t made up my mind if O1 pro or Grok 3 thinking is the best model

I cannot believe that others just casually dismiss this as 'basic', when just a few years ago this would have taken someone a full day of work.

You can do this yourself. Anyone can buy API credits. I literally just did this with my personal credit card using my gmail based account earlier today.

1. Subscribe to Claude Pro for $20 month

2. Separately, Buy $100 worth of API credits.

Now you have a Claude "ultimate" subscription where the credits roll over as an added bonus.

As someone who only uses the APIs, and not the subscription services for AI, I can tell you that $100 is A LOT of usage. Quite frankly, I've never used anywhere close to $20 in a month which is why I don't subscribe. I mostly just use text though, so if you do a lot of image generation that can add up quickly

(1) That's a big if. It requires building a team specialized in delivering what Cursor has already delivered which is no small task. There are probably only a handful of engineers on the planet that have or can be incentivized to develop the product intuition the Cursor founders have developed in the market already. And even then; I'm an aspiring engineer / PM at Anthropic. Why would I choose to spend all of my creat…

In my opinion you're vastly overestimating how much of a moat Cursor has. In broad strokes, in builds an index of your repo for easier referencing and then adds some handy UI hooks so you can talk to the model, there really isn't that much more going on. Yes, the autocomplete is nice at times, but it's at best like pair programming with a new hire. Every big player in the AI space could replicate what they've done, i…

If Zed gets its agentice editing mode in I’m moving away from Cursor again. I’m only with them because they currently have the best experience there. Their moat is zero, and I’d much rather use purely API models than a Cursor subscription.
