I'm surprised, isn't it forbidden to use the Max plan as part of a company? Just curious, as I thought it was forbidden by the ToS but I'm not sure if I have a good understanding of it


There is nothing in the TOS last time I checked forbidding it's use with Claude code. It's only forbidden to utilize it in the running of the business.

So getting Claude code subscriptions for developers should be permissable and not be against anything... However, if you created a rest endpoint to eg run a preconfigured prompt as part of your platform, that'd be against it

But I'm neither a lawyer nor work for anthropic


Ah, that makes sense. I hope they mean that then. We are just devs using it to write code; not selling it on.


> It's only forbidden to utilize it in the running of the business.

Sorry, but could you clarify what this means?


The following paragraph had my clarification to that...

Expressed differently: are you an individual using a official anthropic application interactively? You're fine.

You're using it unattendedly, without an individual holding the reigns? You should probably talk with an lawyer wherever that's permissable.

Again, IANAL nor do I work for anthropic


?

Claude Code has a Teams plan which includes Max tiers. Why would it be forbidden?


Surely that can't be true? The expectation would be that people pay $200 a month for building open source and personal hobby software with Claude?


Yeah, that would end that really quickly. I use Pro for personal stuff. If $200 is not allowed for companies I don't think anyone would use it, at all.


If they believe a sufficient number is locked in then they may consider doing this later.


> Just curious, as I thought it was forbidden by the ToS but I'm not sure if I have a good understanding of it

Could you quote the relevant part that you think forbids it for us?


If that were true, then everyone I know is violating that tos


Most companies forbid it though, since you're not covered by any legal protection - for example, Anthropic can use your data or code to train new models and more.


This maybe was the case year+ ago but this is no longer the case, used to be most; now it is some/few


Any references on this? I hear this argument a lot. In fact, in a talk on AI last week I heard someone say:

"If you click the thumbs up button to rate a chat, the AI provider will use the contents for training, so our company's policy is never to click the thumbs up button"

That seemed so farcical I had a hard time taking this person seriously. Enterprise plans must give some strong guarantees around data usage, right?


Obviously I can speak only from my personal experience but just me I have 5 examples of companies that were “no AI, IP and all that” that are now full-on “every developer must use CC, Cursor…”

How many conpanes today don’t have “AI strategy” and are fearing will be left behind etc? In my small circle we went from “most are not using AI” to “none are not using AI” in somewhat short period of time


This is why most businesses only have ChatGPT subscriptions. Plus their integration into existing Microsoft products and billing.


Trusting Microsoft seems like a right move /s


Microsoft already has all their business data in the form of handing document storage and emails. Trusting another of their services to also not use that data for Microsoft's own purposes is reasonable.


Very surprised and sad to see so many dismissive comments of the book. It's a really popular one in France for a very good reason. It's so creative, poetic and touching that I doubt you can read it and stay indifferent.

If you've never read it, do yourself a favor and do so! It's quite short, and I hope you'll like it.


The book has been extremely transformative for me at multiple points in my life as I've aged. If I could only recommend a single piece of fiction, it would probably be The Little Prince.

I also highly recommend the 2015 animated film adaptation. It has a rock-solid cast, and presents the classic story within entirely new layers of interpretation that speak to multiple generations at once. It's a real tearjerker that only gets more potent with age.

I'm also not sure why so many commenters here seem confused or negative towards The Little Prince. It is a timeless, culture-invariant treatise on the most precious and important facets of human existence.


I my case, it is precisly said animated film. I don't remember why, but I found it incredibly off-putting for some reason. I think back on it every time someone brings up The Little Prince.


I'm curious what you found off-putting about it, if you don't mind elaborating :)


You want each emotion with assigned numerical value from 0 to 10, I presume...


I'm not sure how I am supposed to interpret your comment, what did you mean by that?

My aim was to start a positive dialogue with zppln about why the book didn't land with him or why it was off-putting. I'm happy to discuss it with you as well, but if your comment was just meant to be negative then I'll pass.


Apparently nobody read the damn book. There is a section where he describes how adults only understands numerically measurable quantities.


I must admit, that went right over my head–but you're right and what a great connection


I actually did consider that this is what you were referencing, but truly wasn't sure how to interpret your comment. Sorry I ruined the joke!


I missed hearing about the 2015 version and will seek it out now. Thanks for the pointer!


I'll let the accolades speak for themselves:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince_(2015_film)#...

But don't read about the plot! Go in as blind as possible. The experience is much more meaningful if you don't know the story beats.


I know the book - is it different from the book?


All I will say is that you have to watch it to understand how it relates to the book. :)


And outside France too!

I would add that there is something in it for all ages. I have read it many times, between ages 6 and 25 and in different languages. The later readings were for language learning without any expectations but each time I finished it, I was deeply touched.

With that it’s also a great one to read with kids.


> And outside France too!

Soleure, that's the French name of the city where the museum opened. The place might just be in France if you don't look too close.


This book got a bad reputation in Brazil because a famous actress (who supposedly isn't very bright) once said it was her favourite book.

When I finally decided to give it a try, I found it to be a very interesting read.

So, you can bet people who show disdain for it probably haven't read it. Or they have weak character and are afraid to be considered dumb by association.


Your comment made me think of Charli XCX's recent post https://itscharlibb.substack.com/p/the-realities-of-being-a-...

Who was the actress?



I love Charli but hadn't seen this, thanks for sharing


There are probably more people around the world who know about The Little Prince from the distinctive illustrations that show up everywhere, than there are people who have actually read the book. It's like Peter Rabbit. Everyone instantly recognizes the illustrations, but often has a hard time explaining what the book was about.


I grew up in Brazil and never heard that the Little Prince had a bad reputation there. Quite the contrary, at least in my circle of people.


> Very surprised and sad to see so many dismissive comments of the book

I cannot see that many dismissive comments. Those I can see are things like dismissing it purely because its not recent, or because the commentor has not read it which really say more about the person being dismissive than anything else.

It is very popular (in translation) in the UK (and other Engli8sh speaking countries) too.


Well... enough bad memory of some teacher wanting us all to read and ponder this thing in class, seemingly with the confused notion that this would be some kind of lesson in psychology.

I think the author would be very surprised if he'd been there to see what amount of fluff has been generated around his nice and simple quasi-autobiographical codebook.


This problem plagues so many well-known works of literature. Modern American classics like The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird have also been forever tainted with unpleasant memories of high school classes.


We were read parts of it in kindergarten. I was fascinated by the desert, at the time I loved deserts, even if I saw one only as an adult. Two years later I borrowed it from the school library. My friends teased me because they thought it is girly. I read it and found a bit confusing and boring.

Later it got more popular and adults found all kinds of deep things. It was so sentimental I've never got back to the book if I hadn't read it first as a children's book. In my mid twenties I got my own copy from a girlfriend who saw me as a little prince.

Now about a week ago I reread it again. Well, you can find all kinds of things in it but I think you should read it as a kid first time.

Children need to learn a lot of things they understand only as adults. It builds a real connection to the stories and ideas. Adults cannot absorb new thoughts anymore. They try but it's too late.

Like if you haven't read Nietzsche and Dostoevsky first time at the age of say 16 or 18 you will never be an intellectual. You didn't get the right impulses at the time. You cannot built on shallow experiences you can have after the childhood and youth.


> Adults cannot absorb new thoughts anymore. They try but it's too late.

That's just a load of hogwash, and anyone who believes it is doing themselves a disservice.


That looks really interesting! Is there a plan for an Android or web-based version?


there is already an android version available


Totally agree. Maybe they want less experienced people that can be manipulated into working tons of hours?

In any case, I'm pretty sure that's illegal under anti discrimination laws


We actually start what we call "diversification" (=eating solid food) even earlier in France: we were advised by our paediatrician to do it when the baby was 4 months old.

Apparently if you start early and have him try a lot of different stuff (especially potentially allergenic things like nuts), it causes less allergy problems later on.

It's worked very well for us, the kid loves it and feeding him is quite fun (although certainly messy!)

It's interesting to see how different it is depending on the country though!


Wow, these examples are amazing!

I've used matplotlib in the past and was disappointed by the final look of the generated charts, nice to know there's hope and I can make them look good the next time I need it :D


The French mapping service is starting to do HD LIDAR captures of the whole of France, and some of them are already available: https://geoservices.ign.fr/lidarhd (At the bottom)

I'd be curious to know if you plan to include these in your app at some point in the future?

Thanks for all the work you did on Shademaps!


For sure. Appreciate the link.

My main roadblock now is that my fiancé is off for the summer (she's a teacher) so we're outside a lot and it's also hard to find the LiDAR datasets online.

I think the Washington one has been out for a while but I didn't know it existed until a few weeks ago.

I'll probably do an ASK HN for LiDAR datasets at some point and hope we can crowdsource as much data as we can.


Wow, I don't know a thing about dataviz but I really liked the website! The real world examples are really helpful to understand why we could use a certain kind of chart. Keep up the good work!


Thanks a lot for the nice feedback!


For french, there's a decent website similar to Product Hunt: https://lespepitestech.com/

It has a good following and a weekly e-mail list so it's probably worth it to post there as well


A big argument for night trains is ecology and diminishing your CO2 footprint, which won't be affected by airport efficiency


It's also quite convenient compared to all the actions required to board an airplane... Just hop on and off straight from the city center. If only governments stopped advantaging flying at the expense of trains.
