Max 20x is for individuals only. (could probably have emps get it themselves, and reimburse)

> could probably have emps get it themselves, and reimburse They can’t track token use this way. Also it’s a massive violation of the model providers TOS.

Yes, token use can be tracked the same way, just have to MITM everything. The ToS is a non-issue as it's not a legal issue, unless you plan to do business with Anthropic, not really an issue as you can always go to API later-on, in which case, Anthropic can't supposedly "ban you" as they are saying they don't record prompts.

At Nvidia, we have no limit for Anthropic or Open AI models (for now) and are heavily encouraged to use them as much as possible.

The fact that they've started promoting using the Caveman mode tells me that the unlimited usage policy is taking its toll.

Fwiw, nobody has ever suggested to me that I employ token compression in my daily workflow. I don't pay full attention in all the AI workflow demos I'm supposed to attend, but I don't recall that even being discussed. Is this an Nvidia blog or tweet you're referencing? I'm actually interested to see what they have to say.

Cloud people highly overvalue random web-services that most people (and most of the economy) simple don't rely on in any critical fashion. Yes, there are some example of people who make lots of money a day on these services, most people make pennies or nothing.

Github is not critical infrastructure. It's your personal social media addiction.

300 a day?? 7K dollars a month? No wonder they need to lay people off!

I by myself use now more than 15 accounts combined of all providers + API as well for external providers, more than 50K$ equivalent a month in API tokens, my team is doing the same thing, it's not really that much once you figured out the real automation loops and workflows, solving 300 issues a day with guarantees is common. I feel that a lot of users are still stuck on Claude code or tools like this and don't reall…

That's interesting. What is the input into the process? Don't you need a PRD or a requirement doc to start with?

Paypal Mafia -> Crypto Mafia -> AI/LLM Mafia -> I'm calling Biotech/BCI Mafia, WW3 Military Industrial Mafia, or Energy Mafia next.

IIRC they're already in the Military Industrial Complex with companies like Palantir, Anduril, and others.

Good point. I guess I feel they're still getting into position there, and haven't really had their opportunity to blossom yet. The average western citizen's experience of war is still just slightly increased food and fuel prices.

Psychosis means inability to distinguish the real from the not real -- delusion. I don't think the article describes that, at least not in a literal or clinical sense. The author lifted a term usually applied to people who fall in love with chatbots and applied it to the context of software developers not understanding AI coding tools, and the limitations of those tools. AI coding swept over the software industry fas…

If we are just talking about writing code, I believe LLMs are indeed better than the median programmer already. Where they fail, however, is in the tasks that require proper reasoning.

At a micro-scale, you can simulate reasoning with token prediction, but I think this breaks at a higher-level (e.g. architecture.)

I believe that, given enough complexity, a purely vibe-coded project will always reach a point where each new feature breaks five other ones. So qualms about "maintainability" are important.

Maybe we'll reach the point where LLMs can deal with the complexity of most codebases without human guidance.

But it doesn't change the fact that this limitation is inherent to LLMs: chain of thought is not reasoning, only the illusion of it.

> And then I saw that with guidance and a critical eye, reasonably good specs, guardrails, it performed just as well and sometimes more throroughly than me

Right, and the important part here is that it did so with your guidance and taste, which have both been honed by years of experience.

I’m at a FAANG and we have $300/day token quota. Personally I don’t use that much of it but management is pushing really hard for it. “the quota has been raised for a reason, use it”.

The unsubsidised costs can't be revealed soon enough.

How do you even use that much daily?

I have an unrelated question, please. I am trying to make a post and get this error: "Sorry, your account isn't able to submit this site.", you know why or have a solution for it?
