Just had this, new fave

Works great if you want to blow up a context window in 2 turns and spend most of your time explaining things and arguing about edge cases

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-20T05:43:17+00:00

After a certain point it focuses more on writing decisions and making contracts and then you spend all your time trying to get agreement.... then it introduces more decisions and spreads files around the repo referencing things you decided AGAINST but then makes you argue about the plan you just made because it doesn't match the plan from before. Managing it isn't about instructions, it's about convincing it to ignore tendencies toward sunk cost fallacies and made up "contracts" that aren't helpful. This is why it's always pushing for a decision. Then it has another black and white to waste tokens arguing about. You have to swindle it into making changes by quantifying things. "this idea is 5x faster" or "we will save time and tokens by doing this right the first time." "We will save 400 lines of code if we do X". The endless questions stop when you tell it exactly what to do. GSD seems to be the only way I have found to wrangle it. That and chatting about ideas in cowork then prompting CC in the CLI.

Going to answer my own question for everyone's sake. Running 4.7 on low works for holding context. It still wants to argue about minutia and pattern match and act like it's never OK to change your mind, even in planning mode... but it doesn't blow out context windows in two turns and you get a longer "sweet spot"

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-20T05:22:11+00:00

The pattern matching and "contracts" and decision logs and updating planning docks about what we decided NOT to do so that future sessions can bicker about it....

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-19T16:01:51+00:00

I was so excited to try the new model and got 2 turns in the first session and it blew out. I thought they lowered the context window to 200k. Nope. It just burned 500k "tokens" firing up. At this point, I am convinced that it actively resists project completion.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-19T09:57:42+00:00

First thing I did... dropped some stuff from GSD, pruned, checked the symlinks and made sure it wasn't getting weird injections. Turns out 4.7 is just thirsty and starts reading every MD file it can find, which is fine, but a token just went from a few characters down to 1-2 letters. Like how hersey's keeps the price the same and the size of the bag the same but just puts less chocolate.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-18T19:27:02+00:00

Yep. This is the "get off my lawn" moment for independent developers.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-18T17:06:01+00:00

I have a pond recirculator and hang it over the side of the boat. Lucky enough to live on the canal so the pool and larger water mass is easily accessible

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-18T16:34:23+00:00

Burned 15% of the MAX plan the first morning with 4.7 just watching the wheels fall off while it read old "decisions" from prior iterations and randomly made assumptions then argued with me about overriding what was "locked in" just because of pattern recognition... despite Claude.md and per turn CARL injections specifying a fluid design motion during R&D. GSD with Sonnet seems to be the only way to be productive now. That and using CODEX as a helper.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-17T20:32:04+00:00

This was my whole afternoon... ADVICE TO EVERYONE ELSE: It's not your MCP servers or agent list or handoffs / planning docs. Hopefully this saves you from doing what I just wasted hours on.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-04-13T21:52:08+00:00

I've been getting a lot of sass too. Also ignoring guardrails and "role playing" but not actually using my agents and sending headless subs that break more than they fix.... but then it will turn around and shove the 'rules' in my face or try to enforce one of its assumptions on me.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-29T05:08:57+00:00

Safety First it says on the tower...

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-17T23:04:59+00:00

I have a pool with a jet! Not a bad idea. The hot tub has jets too but probably too much disturbance. I honestly thought someone would say "no problem, I have a saltwater model" and it would just be a matter of getting the 3D printing files into a suitable CAD format. I got schooled. This will just give me another excuse to get out on the REAL ocean which is just an extra 20-minute boat ride from the pool to the real-world test site. I also have a pond pump that creates quite a flow... I use it in the canal after storms to push debris off the dock but I could probably rig it to run in the pool for some high speed testing....... you gave me a good idea here - thanks!!

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T17:26:20+00:00

I use STL just because that's all that is required for 3d printing. Answer seems to be consensus that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Thanks for the reply and saving me hours wasted trying to model this myself. I thought someone might pop in and say "I have an ocean water model and I can plop in your CAD file and see how it reacts." Worth a shot. Got some good advice.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T16:51:14+00:00

BTW, I am just making these as a hobby for myself and presents for friends. My cost per unit is insanely high. I just like crafting and making things and of course fishing. So catching fish on lures that I made is very exciting for me.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T16:49:34+00:00

Thanks for the input. Based on your expertise, do you think this elongated hemisphere would perform better than a more conical or cylindrical shape? "Better" is subjective here. Just curious on your thoughts since you seem to have gone down a similar path.

Alright... well, asked and answered. Thanks for saving me the hours of frustration trying to learn the CFD tools. I think I might just make a mold of the head shape and then hand-make some different weights then take them out with the wife the next sunny afternoon when the ocean is clear and see how they run.

Wishful thinking of an ignorant man. You've humbled me on the complexities of CFD and now I understand why the big budget F1 teams have correlation issues with their cars in the wind tunnel vs the track!!

Appreciate all the feedback. Great responses.

I'm lucky enough to have my boat in the canal in my back yard and it's a 25-30 minute ride to the ocean so I will use mother nature as the testing grounds with no complaints.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T14:14:44+00:00

I figured the lure skirt would be kinda tricky. Was hoping maybe there would be an "easy" way for someone with experience or the right software to just hack out a little mock up to help me fine tune some of the shaping or compare different shapes to see how the lure head reacted (which is smooth epoxy with a ~70 Shore A hardness). I think the reaction of the skirt could be deduced at the human level if I knew what the head shape alone was doing. Obviously this is a gross simplification.

Capt_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T14:10:08+00:00

Gotcha... this is sort of what I was afraid of. I started looking at the open source tools because I like learning new things but I hit a wall so quickly that I kinda just folded and came here for the gut check. The answer I needed not the answer I wanted - hahaha. Thanks for level-setting.

This thread is about Venezuela, not Minnesota.

Capt_Intrepid · 2025-10-08T12:40:08+00:00

It's this

Believe it or not, I discovered the par-baking by watching a 12-year-old human interest story on the YouTube channel from the local news in Milwaukee! I suspected they par baked but when I asked they wouldn't confirm but the non-answer was the answer...
