They need to come up with a better way of detecting people who are actively breaking the ToS by using the Max plans as a kind of backdoor API key, because those users are obviously not using it in the way it was intended and abusing the system. Not sure how they would do that, but I'm guessing you could fingerprint the pattern of requests and see that some of the requests don't fit the expected pattern of genuine requests made by the Claude Code client.
Anyway, I've been resigned to this for a while now (see https://x.com/doodlestein/status/1949519979629469930 ) and ready to pay more to support my usage. It was really nice while it lasted. Hopefully, it's not 5x or 10x more.
My favorite of these programmer fonts is PragmataPro, which I bought around 5 years ago. I like how it’s denser while still being easy to read.
Only problem is that it doesn’t have all the nerd font glyphs so it can’t handle the nice oh-my-zsh themes well, like the powerline-10k theme. I still use it despite that though.
Same here, PragmataPro stopped me from switching fonts. Maybe because it was so expensive ;)
It just has a lot of attention to detail and polish.
I was using IBM Plex Mono and Iosevka before.
The tool now supports dozens of tech stacks out of the box with the included best practices guides. I’ve been using it extensively for both Python FastAPI projects and NextJS projects and it’s a huge time saver for me.
You’re doing god’s work here, thanks for your service! I use photopea all the time. Probably the most impressive web app I’ve seen in terms of performance.
LLMs really know how to use it incredibly well. You can ask them to do just about any video related task and they can give you an ffmpeg one liner to do it.
Wow, you are not wrong. I just asked Gemini "how can I use ffmpeg to apply a lower third image to a video?" and it gave a very detailed explanation of using an overlay filter. Have not tested its answer yet but on its face it looks legit.
It could very well be legit, but if you "have not tested its answer yet" the fact that it can generate something that looks plausible doesn't really tell you much. Generating plausible-sounding but incorrect answers is like the #1 most common failure mode for LLMs.
It's amazing --- I cut my teeth in software engineering with ffmpeg-related work 15 years ago, LLMs generating CLI commands with filters etc. is right up there with "bash scripts" as things LLMs turned from "theoratically possible, but no thanks unless you're paying me" into fun, easy, and regular.
Yesterday I asked it for a command to take a 14 minute video, play the first 10 seconds in realtime, and rest at 10x speed. The ffmpeg CLI syntax always seemed to be able to do anything if you could keep it all in you head, but I was still surprised to see that ffmpeg could do it all in one command.
I never found bash scripting disagreeable. I have thousands of scripts for both work and my everyday computer usage. I keep a ~/bin folder in my path where I place useful scripts that I have written for my own use. One thing that keeps me using bash for this purpose over Python or Ruby (which I use for serious programming) is that I can take a command line invocation that I manually constructed and tested and put it in a script without modification.
Me too! I am a data engineer so whenever I have pipeline jobs running, I have a script that monitors them. When the jobs finish, an audio plays stating the job has finished and its status. Thats just one convenient script out of dozens.
Makes life much more easier when I can play video games or read books without having to check status every 20 mins.
Though I haven't created as many as you have. Would you mind sharing some of them??
Thousands is probably hyperbole, but there are many, many!
One that I find regular use for when copy+paste does not work because I am either connected to a terminal emulation, vm, or something of the like is typeitforme. It takes the contents of a text file and sends them through the keyboard buffer after a few second delay (that allows me time to switch focus to the window I want the typing done).
I currently have it as a entry in my ~/.bash_aliasas file.
alias typeitforme='sleep 3 && xdotool type --file '
This works in stock Ubuntu Linux. You can check out the xdotool documentation for ideas how to refine it to do more.
Fair point, but I only had limited HN commenting time budgeted, not getting a video set up to test this idea. I did confirm that the overlay feature exists via the official ffmpeg documentation.
I get no ads as I've been using ad blockers for as long as I can remember.
It is, however, a terrible tutorial (it's full of beginner errors made by people who don't understand C but think they do based on behavior by whatever compiler they're using at the time).
There is presumably some correlation between sites riddled with ads and having terrible content. Perhaps ad-blockers should show how many ads they have blocked more prominently.
How would I connect it with any username or login? I just made it because I wanted something like this and make it available to others in case they find it useful. It is free and no ads
If you were a cracker, you'd add every one of these passwords to a database (maybe of up to 10B passwords) to try first before moving to cracking hashes.
