I have no interest in Claude Code as a harness, only their models. I'm used to OpenCode at this point and don't want to switch to a proprietary harness.
Lol what? There is no value. OpenCode and Pi and more exist. Arguably Claude Code is the worst client on the market. People use Claude Code not because it's some amazing software. It's to access Opus at a discounted rate.
The first couple of days of this week (Claude session week I mean, Max 5x plan) I was doing some heavy data analysis and I hit 30% on day 1, then finished up the job at 50% on day 2.
But this was a lot of work. Analyzing thousands of files and extracting data from them using headless Claude sessions with a concurrency of 20 sessions at once. I have no complaints from those two days.
Then yesterday (day 3 of the week) I did some minor refactoring and bug fixes for 2 or 3 hours. Somehow that took me from 50% to 90%. This morning I finished off some of the bug fixes, maybe 45 minutes of work across ~4 twenty minutes sessions, each of involved identifying the test gap, then using a single subagent to fix it with TDD.
That took me to 100%.
Also, I'm on Asia time so I'm working entirely during off peak hours.
I now have two days to wait before the session rollover and I'm feeling quite frustrated. Whether it's a bug or they just silently reduced session limits, it's not acceptable for $200 a month.
I've done this with Cursor because I have similar issues with inconsistent allowance consumption there. I mostly use Claude models but I've had to disable Opus 4.6 because it just EATS tokens in it's thinking steps.
Not sure that would help due to how tokenization works, but I remember from the early GPT-4 days that LLMs have the ability to "compress" a message into an incomprehensible string of Unicode, which the LLM itself understands perfectly, and which is 5-10x shorter than the English text.
That was a big deal when the context size was 8K; now that tokens are cheap and context is huge, nobody seems to be investigating that anymore.
Honestly, it being a "tip" or "ad" is exactly the same.
What I mean is that even if I take that at face value and accept that it's not an ad, and I can just about see from a certain level of corporate brainwashing how one could believe that, it's still completely unacceptable.
Calling it a "tip" is definitely just a semantic trick to make it slightly less easy to frame a negative response and galvanise opinion against the practise. Reminds me a bit of confirmation shaming (which, now I think about it, I haven't seen in a while) where you're made to click a button that says something like "No, I don't want an amazing 15% off my next order by signing up to your email list".
I was playing Mario Party Jamboree this weekend with my kids, and when you use a key to unlock doors (for anyone not familiar, Mario Party is a family friendly virtual board game with lots of minigames that’s been around since the Nintendo 64) that serve as shortcuts in the game board, the key is alive and says “don’t you want to keep being friends? You wouldn’t use me on a door, would you?” Which is a humorous twist on confirmation shaming inside of the game and gives me a bit of enmity for the imaginary key.
Conversely, on Doom Dark Ages they got rid of the traditional difficulty mode of “I’m too young to die” which had a picture of Doom Guy with a bib and a pacifier, I think there’s some new industry guidance that it’s a no no to poke fun at people picking easy difficulties, or even indicating what difficulty the game was “designed to be played on” which Japanese game devs happily ignore.
I know these aren’t actual equivalents since your money isn’t used on the line and it’s purely a game state, buts it’s still an interesting and noteworthy transition.
I this a similar thing? Apple web signin doesn't let you easily choose SMS 2FA; you have to click "I can't get to my devices right now" first before you can send yourself a text message. I always resent them for making me lie, because although my devices ARE nearby (ish), my phone is always, like RIGHT THERE.
I do think it's just an ad. Also it's a bad kind of one because 1) it disguises itself as a tip 2) makes people to think if it's an ad for Raycast or other services, when actually it's just promoting itself.
PRs aren't part of the repository (if you define repository to mean part of `git`'s internal working. It's part of GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft.
Small nit, but PR description bodies might wind up as part of a commit message verbatim, depending on repo settings and the merger's personal behavior. It's an easy outcome, the merger doesn't need to copy and paste or anything, and I think it might be a default or popular setting for squash-merges.
It’s a spot that will easily be replaced with paid ads, for sure. Not sure why it wouldn’t be better to just inject this sort of message into the UI instead of editing the PR text itself. (Except that the team implementing it probably couldn’t get the UI team to agree.)
Thats where its come from. Its basically all of the underlying code that could be abstracted away to reuse. Kind of helped clean up the game code too because I had to seperate things out better.
Your comment (along with mmarvin's) really just shows you are making grand assumptions about Twitch and streaming on Twitch that are not based on any level of real information. That you would equate viewers to followser is silly at best. (And don't pretend you did, either, as there is NO reason to bring up IG follower counts otherwise)
> I think that way more of them than would ever admit to it - even to themselves - want that, yes.
For many reasons, they aren't what many would consider to be influencers. The ignorant might sugget that streamers are influencers, but that's, well, ignorance. Secondly, most people do it for fun. Not as a full time job. This is a hobby. And it's a fun one.
It's okay to just not comment on things you are ignorant about. It's okay.
Tbf to them, most people equate streamers with individuals having thousands of viewers.. From that perspective, their statements kinda make sense.
While I personally wouldn't be able to perform under such a setting, I'd be lying if the idea isn't kinda charming - it's like wanting to be a rock star, a small part thinks it'd be cool, even if most don't actually want to live the life of a rockstar.
Though the wealth it comes with would be neat to have (I mean most streamers with thousands of non-botted viewers are millionaires at this point, right?)
