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.

Spot on!

> Has an M2 Max with 64GB RAM but probably still complains when Chrome opens more than 5 tabs.

Not true, I have 40 tabs open!

> Created a tool to generate portfolios in 5 minutes but spent 5 hours explaining how to optimize YouTube settings. Priorities!

Ouch! Brutal and funny at the same time.

Thank you for making this!

The biggest complaint I (and several others) have is that we continuously hit the limit via the UI after even just a few intensive queries. Of course, we can use the console API, but then we lose ability to have things like Projects, etc. Do you foresee these limitations increasing anytime soon? Quick Edit: Just wanted to also say thank you for all your hard work, Claude has been phenomenal.

We are definitely aware of this (and working on it for the web UI), and that's why Claude Code goes directly through the API!

The problem with the API is that it, as it says in the documentation, could cost $100/hr.

I would pay $50/mo or something to be able to have reasonable use of Claude Code in a limited (but not as limited) way as through the web UI, but all of these coding tools seem to work only with the API and are therefore either too expensive or too limited.

Kinda related: anyone know if there is an autocomplete plugin for Neovim on par with Cursor? I really want to use this new model in nvim to suggest next changes but none of the plugins I’ve come across are as good as Cursor’s.

Looks like it's really only using the most recent comments, rather than looking at all of them across the lifetime of the account.

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.

Does the fact its so ungodly expensive and highly rate limited kind of prove the modern point that AI actually uses tons of water and electricity per prompt? People are used to streaming YouTube while they sleep and it's hard to think of other web technology this intensive. OpenAI is hostile to this subject. Does Claude have plans to tackle this?

Youtube is used to showing them ads while they sleep

I've used https://github.com/cline/cline to get a similar workflow to their Claude Code demo, and yes it's amazing how quickly the token counts add up. Claude seems to have capacity issues so I'm guessing they decided to charge a premium for what they can serve up.

+1 on the too expensive or too limited sentiment. I subscribed to Claude for quite a while but got frustrated the few times I would use it heavily I'd get stuck due to the rate limits.

I could stomach a $20-$50 subscription for something like 3.7 that I could use a lot when coding, and not worry about hitting limits (or I suspect being pushed on to a quantized/smaller model when used too much).

The big difference is DeepSeek R1 has a permissive license whereas Claude has a nightmare “closed output” customer noncompete license which makes it unusable for work unless you accept not competing with your intelligence supplier, which sounds dumb

Do most people have an expectation of competing with Claude?

Seems like that must make it impossible for the Cursor devs to use their own product given that Claude is the default there

I'm somewhat impressed from the very first interaction I had with Claude 3.7 Sonnet. I prompted it to find a problem in my codebase where a CloudFlare pages function would return 500 + nonsensical error and an empty response in prod. Tried to figure this out all Friday. It was super annoying to fix as there's no way to add more logging or have any visibility to the issue as the script died before outputting anything.…
