#252This feels... reasonable? You're in their shop (Opus 4.5) and they can kick you out without cause. But Claude Code (the app) will work with a self-hosted open source model and a compatible gateway. I'd just move to doing that.
Not sure what your point is. They have the right to kick OP out. OP has the right to post about it. We have a right to make decisions on what service to use based on posts like these. Pointing out whether someone can do something is the lowest form of discourse, as it's usually just tautological. "The shop owner decides who can be in the shop because they own it."
I think there's an xkcd alt text about that: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1357:_Free_Speech
"I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express."

#253I've been doing something a lot like this, using a claude-desktop instance attached to my personal mcp server to spawn claude-code worker nodes for things, and for a month or two now it's been working great using the main desktop chat as a project manager of sorts. I even started paying for MAX plan as I've been using it effectively to write software now (I am NOT a developer). Lately it's gotten entirely flaky, wher…
Gemini CLI is a solid alternative to Claude Code. The limits are restrictive, though. If you're paying for Max, I can't imagine Gemini CLI will take you very far.
Gemini CLI isn't even close to the quality of Claude Code as a coding harness. Codex and even OpenCode are much better alternatives.

> I'm talking about obvious abusive behavior, akin to griefing other users Right, but we're talking about a private isolated AI account. There is no sense of social interaction, collaboration, shared spaces, shared behaviors... Nothing. How can you have such an analogue here?
Attempting to coerce Claude to provide instructions to build a bomb
virtually anything can become a bomb if you can aerosolize it. even beef jerky, i wager.

Companies will simply give some kind of standard answer, that is legally "cover our butts" and be done with it. Its like that cookie wall stuff, how much dark patterns are implemented. They followed the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law. To be honest, i can also see the point from the company side. Giving a honest answer can just anger people, to the point they sue. People are often not as rational as we a…
>Giving a honest answer can just anger people, to the point they sue. Again, I'm kind of on a 'suck it dear company' attitude. The reason they ban you must align with the terms of service and must be backed up with data that is kept X amount of time. Simply put, we've seen no shortage of individuals here on HN or other sites like Twitter that need to use social media to resolve whatever occurred because said company…
You mean actually enforce contracts? What sort of mad communist ideology is this?!

The Pro plan quota seems to be getting worse. I can get maybe 20-30 minutes work done before I hit my 4 hour quota. I found myself using it more just for the planning phase to get a little bit more time out of it, but yesterday I managed to ask it ONE question in plan mode (from a fresh quota window), and while it was thinking it ran out of quota. I'm assuming it probably pulled in a ton of references from my project…
^ THIS I've run out of quota on my Pro plan so many times in the past 2-3 weeks. This seems to be a recent occurrence. And I'm not even that active. Just one project, execute in Plan > Develop > Test mode, just one terminal. That's it. I keep getting a quota reset every few hours. What's happening @Anthropic ?? Anybody here who can answer??
How quickly do you also hit compaction when running? Also, if you open a new CC instance and run /context, what does it show for tools/memories/skills %age? And that's before we look at what you're actually doing. CC will add context to each prompt it thinks is necessary. So if you've got a few number of large files, (vs a large number of smaller files), at some level that'll contribute to the problem as well.
Quota's basically a count of tokens, so if a new CC session starts with that relatively full, that could explain what's going on. Also, what language is this project in? If it's something noisy that uses up many tokens fast, even if you're using agents to preserve the context window in the main CC, those tokens still count against your quota so you'd still be hitting it awkwardly fast.

Did we read the same article? The author comes of as pretty frustrated but not unhinged
I wouldn't say "unhinged" either, but maybe just struggling to organize and express thoughts clearly in writing. "Organizations of late capitalism, unite"?

the former i have heard for a couple decades, the latter is apparently a term of art to prevent hurt feelings or lawsuits or something.
Google thinks i want ADA style organizations, but it's AI caught on that i might not mean organizations for disabled people
btw "ADA" means Americans with Disabilities Act. AI means Artificial Intelligence. A decade is 10 years long. "term of art" is a term of art for describing stuff like jargon or lingo of a trade, skill, profession.
Jargon is specialized, technical language used in a field or area of study. Lingo pins to jargon, but is less technical.
Google is a company that started out crawling the web and making a web search site that they called a search engine. They are now called Alphabet Company (ABC). Crawling means to iteratively parse the characters sent by a webserver and follow links therein, keeping a copy of the text from each such html. HTML is hypertext markup language, hypertext is like text, but more so.
Language is how we communicate.
I can go on?
p.s. if you want a better word, your complaint is about the framing. you didn't gel with the framing of the article. My friend, who holds a doctorate, defended a thesis about how virtually every platform argument is really a framing issue. platform as in, well, anything you care to defend. mac vs linux, wifi vs ethernet, podcasts vs music, guns vs no guns, red vs blue. If you can reduce the frame of the context to something both parties can agree to, you can actually hold a real, intellectual debate, and get at real issues.
