The support cost of users complaining something doesn’t work because they’re on 5g while trying to control something on their WiFi is significant. Why not just make it work?

I don’t need to hire hackers to use my 3d printer. It just works.

Thank you. My Bambu printer works excellently. The previous one I bought years ago is still going strong with a friend now. When parts wear out, I can easily get official, known quality replacements.

I have never had a problem with the software, the outrage is totally manufactured to have something to complain about. Louis was fun to listen to for a while, but his schtick is so tired now.

> Nobody can infer when I work and when I sleep. That includes me.

Are you like /severed/ or something? Surely you can infer when you work and sleep from your experience living your life as you.

Jokes on them, they got the wrong IP address, dummies!!! My IP address is 127.0.0.1!

My first job out of college was at a .edu, and we made good use of SunRays! The session being linked to a smartcard was excellent for popping into a computer lab anywhere on any campus to send an email in the age before smartphones.

Was? Is.

So what? A registered agent is literally the agent registered to accept process service. The registered agent is clearly not the corporate headquarters, a branch office, or anything other than a business whose purpose is to accept lawsuits, subpoenas, and other legal and official notices.

Right. The arbitrary nature of enforcement is a feature.

Why would you want to keep using a vendor that screws you over? If I’m charging back, I’m done with that vendor.

Why would that vendor want to do business with a customer that doesn’t pay their bills (whether justified or not)?

Sure, it’s a real policy. It came from their website, from the official means of support.

I know this is a joke, but Amazon’s bots give me compensation literally all the time when something goes wrong. It’s possible.

Amex, like basically all other card issuers, have essentially stopped giving customers preference in chargebacks since 2020 or so. What used to be solid advice now rings hollow - you’re more likely to be asked for information that not available to you than allowing your chargeback to go through.

I’ve had similar terrible experiences with the Claude support bot when my usage limit was disappearing after a few minutes using Sonnet. I asked for help, asked for escalation, asked for a human, anything. All I got was a non-answers from an AI. I won’t spend real money on Claude now. I’m ok with losing $20 if there’s a rug pull of one way or another, but not $200.

Please, please, please hire more humans with the actual ability to do the right thing for support if your AI agents can’t do the job.

I think 5% is pretty solid, I am an OpenRouter user myself. Where I got screwed was enabling search on my requests, that jumped up my consumption a lot!

OpenRouter charges a 5% (?) fee for buying credits.

I might take a gun and some water, but point taken!

uhh .. the desert?

That's the cool thing! No one really knows, so any remotely scientific theory is indistinguishable from truth. Maybe even the more outlandish the better, so as to scare people more effectively.

I work for a "very serious" company with many billions of dollars of revenue. All our SWEs have max subscriptions.

Trying to chat with "fin" is like trying to argue with a bowl of congealed oatmeal.

Me: Why is your website saying Claude Code is not included in Claude Pro subscriptions?

"Fin", the slow, dopey AI agent: That’s confusing, but it usually comes down to what “Claude Code” means in that context. Claude Pro does include Claude Code (the Code tab in the desktop app, and Claude Code access for individuals).

What Pro does not include is API access via the Claude Console. Those are separate products: Pro is for chat, and the Console is for building apps with the API.

So if the website is saying “not included,” it’s likely referring to Console/API access, not the Claude Code feature itself.

Did that clear up the confusion?

Me: No. It clearly states on the pricing page that Claude Code is not included.

Fin: That’s frustrating, <NAME>. The key detail is that Claude Code is included in Claude Pro, but API access via the Claude Console is not.

So if the page you’re looking at says “Claude Code is not included,” it’s almost certainly referring to Console/API access (the developer platform), not the Claude Code feature itself.

If you tell me the exact URL or screenshot of the page that says that, I can confirm which “Code” it’s talking about.

Was that explanation helpful?

Me: https://claude.com/pricing

Fin: On https://claude.com/pricing, Pro does include Claude Code. It’s listed right there under Pro’s “Everything in Free, plus” bullets: “Includes Claude Code.” So if you’re seeing “not included” somewhere else on that page, it’s likely referring to something different than the Claude Code feature. The one thing Pro does not include is API access via the Claude Console (that’s a separate product).

Also, the Code tab in the desktop app requires a Pro (or Max/Team/Enterprise) subscription, and it may not show for everyone yet since it’s still rolling out.

Does that clear things up for you?

Me: there is clearly an "x" at this page. escalate to a human immediately.

and then the cycle continues. I'm cancelling my Anthropic subscription, sick of worrying about limits and getting banned and simply awful experience.

The qwen flamingo looks like it’s smoking’ a doobie.

Which industry? Tech? Surveillance? Government? I know my father in law is a MAGA racist who believes whatever makes it easy to justify his own beliefs. I’m not sure you can ever reliably judge someone’s true motives in a professional setting.

My kids’ schools also are anti-AI. My kids don’t have personal experience with it yet, other than funny pictures on Gemini.

Can I get involved like an arms dealer and influence the course of chimpanzee history?

I look at it more like speedrunning a level. You're skipping the parts of the level that take up the most time, some times using hacks. Is it universally as much fun as playing the game? No, just like using AI to prototype might get you to the same place, but without the experience of discovery and blockers along the way.

I like to experiment with AI flows to make iteration quicker, then once something work investing in is found, back up and build something that's actually repeatable.

If background noise was the factor, which it's not, but if it was, the background noise to combat would be the thermal noise floor of any physical conductor at any temperature above absolute zero. But that's not the factor. You're assuming the cardiac field is like a radio signal being transmitted rather than a local field effect. A magnetic dipole doesn't radiate energy outward the way a radio antenna does. It creates a static field that exists in the space around it, and that field geometrically collapses with distance. I ran the numbers on Wolfram Alpha, and at 1 meter from your chest the field is around 100 femtotesla. At 10 meters it's around 100 attotesla. At 5 kilometers it's around 10^-27 tesla.

Oh, but you say that you simply cool the sensor to 0K. Cooling helps, but you're still many orders of magnitude short even at near 0K, and you're doing this in Iranian mountains, not a dilution refrigerator.

AMBIIENT’s goal was biological imaging.. sensors near a body for medical/neuroscience applications. The range being discussed is still on the order of meters at best, not miles.

The photons arriving at the satellite from a ground target aren’t getting weaker due to distance in any way that defeats you, because the sun is illuminating the target and the NRO just needs to collect enough of the reflected photons.

SQUID sensors (the most sensitive magnetometers that exist) require magnetically shielded rooms to record cardiac signals at centimeter range.
