copy and pasted into a spreadsheet from the website, then claude wrote a little script to convert it into js

How else m I going to geotarget you with ads? /s


I thought about this, but I've seen several times where the signs say that the train is running late, but it's actually there and leaves perfectly on time!

The schedule has been much more reliable since the electrification


Thanks :)


bullet trains should be displayed in red, but I haven't tested it yet at the right time and I've been too lazy to write tests with mocked time / gps :)


Looking at it now and the bullet has black text


"22nd st" shows up separately


Made this while procrastinating some actual work, in an effort to get some more dopamine from crossing off todos.

Completing an item gets you a confetti explosion, a satisfying ding, and shakes the item.

Section headers (starting with "#") are even more exciting to cross off


Also there's no backend - everything is in localStorage


hi! You can do /cost at any time to see what the current session has cost


It is API billing like AWS - you pay for what you use. Every time you exit a session we print the cost, and in the middle of a session you can do /cost to see your cost so far that session!

You can track costs in a few ways and set spend limits to avoid surprises: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...


What I really want (as a current Pro subscriber) is a subscription tier ("Ultimate" at ~$120/month ?) that gives me priority access to the usual chat interface, but _also_ a bunch of API credits that would ensure Claude and I can code together for most of the average working month (reasonable estimate would be 4 hours a day, 15 days a month).

i.e I'd like my chat and API usage to be all included under a flat-rate subscription.

Currenty Pro doesn't give me any API credits to use with coding assistants (Claude Code included ?) which is completely disjointed. And I need to be a business to use the API still ?

Honestly, Claude is so good, just please take my money and make it easy to do the above !


I don’t think you need to be a business to use the API? At least I’m fairly certain I’m using it in a personal capacity. You are never going to hit $120/month even with full-time usage (no guarantees of course, but I get to like $40/month).


Careful -- a solo dev using it professionally, meaning, coding with it as a pair coder (XP style), can easily spend $1500/week.


$1500 is 100 million output tokens, or 500 million input tokens for Claude 3.7.

The entire LOTR trilogy is ~.55 million tokens (1,200 pages, published).

If you are sending and receiving the text equivalent of several hundred copies of the LOTR trilogy every week, I don't think you are actually using AI for anything useful, or you are providing far too much context.


You can do this yourself. Anyone can buy API credits. I literally just did this with my personal credit card using my gmail based account earlier today.

1. Subscribe to Claude Pro for $20 month

2. Separately, Buy $100 worth of API credits.

Now you have a Claude "ultimate" subscription where the credits roll over as an added bonus.

As someone who only uses the APIs, and not the subscription services for AI, I can tell you that $100 is A LOT of usage. Quite frankly, I've never used anywhere close to $20 in a month which is why I don't subscribe. I mostly just use text though, so if you do a lot of image generation that can add up quickly


I don't think you can generate images with claude. just asked it for pink elephant: "I can't generate images directly, but I can create an SVG representation of a pink elephant for you." And it did it :)


That is a good idea. For something like Claude Code, $100 is not a lot, though.


You don't need to be a business to use the API.


Which is theoretically great, but if anyone can get an Aussie credit card to work, please let me know.


I haven’t had an issue with Aussie cards?

But I still hit limits, I use Claudemind with jetbrains stuff and there is a max of input tokens (j believe), I am ‘tier 2’ but doesn’t look like I can go past this without an enterprise agreement


No issue with AU credit card here. Is a credit card and not a debit card though


Thanks! We all dogfood Claude every day to do our own work here, and solving our own pain points is more exciting to us than abstract benchmarks.

Getting things done require a lot of booksmarts, but also a lot of "street smarts" - knowing when to answer quickly, when to double back, etc


Just want to say nice job and keep it up. Thrilled to start playing with 3.7.

In general, benchmarks seem to very misleading in my experience, and I still prefer sonnet 3.5 for _nearly_ every use case- except massive text tasks, which I use gemini 2.0 pro with the 2M token context window.


An update: "code" is very good. Just did a ~4 hour task in about an hour. It cost $3 which is more than I usual spend in an hour, but very worth it.


I find the webdev arena tends to match my experience with models much more closely than other benchmarks: https://web.lmarena.ai/leaderboard. Excited to see how 3.7 performs!


Could you tell us a bit about the coding tools you use and how you go about interacting with Claude?


We find that Claude is really good at test driven development, so we often ask Claude to write tests first and then ask Claude to iterate against the tests


Write tests (plural) first, as in write more than one failing test before making it pass?


Time to look up TDD, my friend.


One of today's lucky 10,000. His mind is about to expand beyond imagination.


I wish I could delete my original comment now that I found out that Kerric wasn't a lucky 10,000, he's just an asshole...


Well, you lucky-10,000'd people who didn't know about the 10,000 thing. That's not nothing.


Time to actually read Test-Driven Development By Example, my friend. Or if you can't stomach reading a whole book, read this: https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/canon-tdd

TL;DR - If you're writing more than one failing test at a time, you are not doing Test-Driven Development.


oh my god, your comment was just a setup for you to be pedantic? all discourse on the internet is worthless. i don't know why i keep engaging.
