You don't get to use Claude when they put you in a 5150 hold at the hospital for unchecked mental behavior.

#132Im using Aider (it edits code under my explicit command) using a $0.3/M tokens model. What am I missing if I dont use a full agentic tool and $3/M token model like Sonnet?

#133You seem to be a young fella, so let me tell you this: Every time you do coder.Health-- for bank.Money++, you have the problem that you are never able to do coder.Health++ for bank.Money-- afterwards. Never sacrifice health for money. Never. Every idea that needs to be worked on more than 50 hours a week is an idea not worth working on. I know how it is, I've been there myself. You'll be reluctant to listen now. But…
If I never sacrificed health for money, I'd be broke and homeless. My job requires that I be in the office 8 hours a day, even if my body doesn't like it

#134Not gonna lie, I do seem to shape my life around Claude's usage limits, too, sometimes.

#137I'm impressed by your determination. A while back, I had a big paper deadline a week away and knew I didn’t have enough time to finish without sacrificing sleep. Rather than cutting my sleep short, I decided to stick with 7–8 hours of rest and instead lengthen my wake window. I worked out a schedule that gave me six nights of sleep across seven days. It meant waking up at stranger and stranger times as the week went…

Indeed. Imagine organizing your life around a $20/month subscription.

I am learning how to weld and work metal, work wood, grow a vegetable garden, keep chickens, maybe raise some later on...
All this AI hype is pushing me even more to think that the value of a job is inversely proportional to the likelihood of it being done by a computer.
Re: Optimizing my sleep around Claude usage limits
#140Why isn't simply getting another Claude account an option that you've tried before damaging your brain with low quality sleep? Or writing prompts that get fired off by a script once the usage resets when sleeping so that you at least get some free tokies? I'm sympathetic to wanting to squeeze out what you can to control costs, but this is something that might only seem sustainable because you're too exhausted to full…
I believe both behaviors violate the Terms of Service - it's generally frowned on to create multiple accounts to work around usage limits, and I know the TOS prohibited scripted interactions designed to maximize 24/7 usage (the subscriptions are very much based on the assumption that you will "be normal" about them)
