After using Claude Code at work for months I wanted to use it on my own projects too. Most probably because my vpn was on I got banned after 1 hour of usage. I got my 120$ back. 1 month later I signed up with vpn off. But this time probably because I used the same credit cart (and that's the only card I can use) they banned me again.
Even after I contacted support I got a generic "we have determined that we cannot reinstate your account at this time due to a violation of our Usage Policy" answer.
I'm not using it for anything unusal. "Summarize that markdown file", "how can i refactor payment module" kind of questions mostly. I couldn't even move to real coding because 1 hour was only enough for investigation.
My last chance is HN to get some visibility on my case. My Boris sees it or some other Anthropic employee.
Do you guys have any tips on getting my account back?

I built an experiment that uses an overfitted transformer and arithmetic coding to compress individual files.
Instead of training the model to generalize, I train a 900KB transformer to memorize a single file and predict the next byte. Those predictions are fed into an arithmetic coder to produce the compressed output.
On a 100MB NYC taxi CSV, it compresses to about 7MB (~0.5 bits/byte). On a 100MB slice of enwik9, it compresses to about 21MB (~1.68 bits/byte).
It's pretty slow right now (roughly 20–30 minutes of training and 45 minutes each for compression and decompression on my AMD 7800XT).

Hi, I run an open source Earth Memory project https://emem.dev [ https://github.com/Vortx-AI/emem ], idea is to be an open protocol for AI agents to leverage Earth Intelligence. Would love to understand shall we pitch ourselves as SaaS for AI or our focus on open source protocol might be a huge payback in longer run. Thanks

Most of use here are wage earners. I keep hearing of people making money with interesting side hustles. Like my neighbour rents graduation gowns for the local university. I'd love to find something like that but I need inspiration.

Maybe there will even be more interest in the invention and use of more advanced algorithms and data structures that use less memory?

The A2A protocol is an agent to agent protocol from Google. I was looking at it 6 months back but it didn't feel like I really understood how to use it at that point. Probably because we were all still trying to figure out agents and then the MCP protocol became quite a big deal. But now I'm starting to think that once an agent has tools and services and data and then contacts. Actually, the point of interaction becomes the agent itself and then if you build other agents you would want them to interact because they have the most relevant context and ability to answer whatever queries. So I was just curious to know if anyone is using this yet?

With the AI agents, comes the resurgence of TUIs, what is your opinion of them?
Design-wise I personally prefer the color, font and sizing consistency. I love the fact that keyboard is first class citizen and would prefer to use TUI to gtk/electron/windows-ui wherever possible.
