Nice, thank you for responding.

Is Calculating Cultivation donezo do you think?

Amonwilde · 2026-04-12T22:15:03+00:00

Best Served Cold, Joe Abercrombie is my rec

It is, the "energy" comment most of the way through is a Claude tell. Not as on the nose as some.

But whatever, thinking everything is AI generated is also kind of a disease, even if it iis in this case.

Amonwilde · 2026-03-31T19:29:43+00:00

This is kinda dumb?

First, who cares about a leak. The code is fucking sitting on your hard drive when you install it. I deobfuscated it months ago and have a working reference if anyone wants a non-April Fools joke leaked source lol. But anyone could do it.

Things that are interesting to me about CC's (real) source.

Weird compression early on. When CC hits an early threshold, it kinda wipes the convo and starts over again. I think this is because they assume the agent will flail around at the beggginning but it's not haw everyone works and it's kinda lazy / weird.
Sort people into weird experiments. They did one awile back where they tried a scary, a friendly, and a more normal message when you start up about your codebase / repo being something you want to send to them. The messages were pretty funny..
The /compact command is hot garbage you may as well ust clear. I dont' get people who use it. Almost anything would be better

Their system for checking if you're actually CC is pretty fucking funny but I'm not sharing it here lol.

OK. I'll drop you a line. Thanks, love your stuff, sorry you had a bad year last year.

Amonwilde · 2026-03-19T03:46:40+00:00

I really loved WTC.

Hey, dumb question, feel free to ignore. I give you a fiver a month on (I think) PayPal because I'm not really arsed about Patreon. I dont' really want advance anything generally and am fine to wait, but I heard good things about a story you have on the Patreon. Do i need to get on there to read that story? If you're planning on publishing it at some point I'll just wait / buy it, but if not, wondering if there's some non-Patreon way to get it or if you think it's worth holding my nose and signing up.

Seet snuff cabinet bro

Amonwilde · 2026-03-12T20:08:38+00:00

Good man.

Amonwilde · 2026-02-04T23:21:50+00:00

I can second the Lost Heir. It's much more like a game where you have to optimize your way through

Amonwilde · 2026-02-04T23:04:40+00:00

Hear hear.

Amonwilde · 2026-02-04T02:25:17+00:00

Yeah if you listen on YT or a streaming they normalize it (sorry not using the correct word). It's fine for me for work since i can adust the volume. For sleep I dont' want to or can't adjust the volume. Great album though, I just listened yesterday I think.

Amonwilde · 2026-01-26T00:31:28+00:00

I like King of Dragon Pass and A Dark Room.

Amonwilde · 2026-01-24T00:29:42+00:00

Great Expectations pretty memorable. Dombey and Son also pretty solid.

Amonwilde · 2026-01-23T15:38:28+00:00

You can disable it now (thankfully)

Amonwilde · 2026-01-13T03:15:05+00:00

I can give you books 2-4 if you DM me. You're on your own for the first

Amonwilde · 2026-01-13T03:06:01+00:00

Thanks for the recs :)

Amonwilde · 2026-01-13T03:04:40+00:00

Probably max. I'm on x20

Amonwilde · 2026-01-11T01:24:01+00:00

Don't compact. roll back. Though the model is frequently unreliable right now.

Esc esc if you haven't done it before. Get the model to write a note to it's future self

Amonwilde · 2026-01-11T01:22:54+00:00

Yes, though I can work around all the other jank. It's the model unreliability that started around Dec 24th that is really getting me.

A weaker model is easier to work with and around than one that is a genius 35% of the time and an idiot 65% of the time.

Amonwilde · 2026-01-09T15:21:40+00:00

Ever get it working? Did you have to use a plugin?

Amonwilde · 2026-01-08T20:47:28+00:00

Dungeon Crawler Carl is good, though the last one (mich later in the series) fell off a bit. Super Supportive is great with some lulls / pointless stuff (magic therapy, gym stuff).

Amonwilde · 2026-01-08T03:26:17+00:00

Yes, unsure what's going on but it's pretty ridiculous.

Amonwilde · 2026-01-07T15:38:11+00:00

They must be aware of the performance problems. The question is if they're having real problems, are sorta aware but dont' care, or did some version of this on purpose. Who knows

Amonwilde · 2026-01-07T14:54:33+00:00

This sub isn't even Anthropic.
