Anthropic has been avoiding the hard thing, but they just need to do SOME kind of pricing thing here to shift demand. I expect there is just no amount of tricks that can handle the few hours at peak load. They need "surge pricing". This seems reasonable surge pricing approach to me: 1. Implement surge pricing for everyone for the peak 2 hours of the day if possible. 2 hours you can work around, 5 hours is too hard. 2…

Only on HN will your customers not only tolerate your product once you’ve reached market saturation and started enshittifying it, they’ll write you a whole guide on how to do it!

tech industry suffering from a kind of zoocosis / stockholm syndrome perhaps.

500-series errors are server-side, 400 series are client side. A 500 error is almost never "just you". ( 404 is a client error, because it's the client requesting a file that does not exist, a problem with the client, not the server, who is _obviously_ blameless in the file not existing. )

I know that in principle this is true. However, I have seen claude shadow-throttle my ipv4 address (I am behind CGNAT), in line with their "VPN" policy -- so I do not trust it, frankly.

> in line with their "VPN" policy

This is how I learn that they have a "VPN" policy. Thinking of it maybe it makes sense, that is if it's what I think it is, but seems scummy nonetheless.

Have anyone found good techniques to get a session out of Claude Code, so that I can point another tool at it and pick up there? This always seems to happen at the worst possible time, after having spent an hour getting deep into something – half finished edits across files, subagents running, etc.

If you use superpowers and "brainstorm" in your prompt, you will get a spec document that other AI can use. They can figure out what was done and continue from there.

US Pacific comes online while London is still working and they can't handle it. $380bn valuation btw.

This precisely justifies Anthropic's market cap to be higher.

What am I supposed to do now? Copy code from stackoverflow like a caveman?

It's weird to me to see people absolutely freaking out about Claude being down, or less powerful, or whatever. We went from zero to relying on it to do even the most basic functions so quickly.

Maybe something to do with revenue growth being utterly insane and just not being able to keep up with demand.

I'm just saying - a better company would be more open about such issues. I'm paying for something I'm not getting. Does not seem reasonable!

At this point if you're paying for this, you know what you're getting - a frontier model with frontier problems. This naive attitude is getting old.

maybe, but the response to GPU shortages being increased error rates is the concern imo. they could implement queuing or delayed response times. it's been long enough that they've had plenty of time to implement things like this, at least on their web-ui where they have full control. instead it still just errors with no further information.

Coding is a problem solved. Claud writes the code. I edit it. I code around it. Engineer roles dead in 6 months.

Remember when OpenAI wasn’t allowing new subscriptions to their ChatGPT pro plans because they were oversubscribed? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Wouldn't that be good? I remember back in the day you could only get Gmail thru an invite, it was an awesome strategy. "Currently closed for applications" creates FOMO. They'd just need to actually get the GPUs in relatively short supply. They could do it in bursts though, right? "Now accepting applications for a short time." I'm not an internet marketer but that sounds like a win win to me. People feel special, they…

Google Wave demonstrated that this doesn't always work.

Absolutely! But that doesn't capture an interrupted interactive session
