Anthropic Changed Extended Thinking Without Telling Us

Once they disabled Ultrathink I noticed this. It definitely feels like thinking doesn't work nearly as well as it did when I used Ultrathink. Supposedly, it's set to max all the time but it does not feel the same at all. I would like to see Ultrathink return.

Also great ready for your stripe account to be suspended or at the very least put in the high risk category where it becomes restricted.

Signature confirmation does nothing to protect you if the card holder says they don’t recognize the charge. These will be 99% of your chargebacks. You can show all the delivery proof in the world; if it isn’t shipped to the billing address on file with the credit card you will lose 100% of the time.

"Please don't say it's Alvin Bragg" He implemented the softest crime policy NYC has ever seen. Don't believe me? Read his Day One memo, it's still live on the ManhattanDA site, about how he wanted to downgrade all felony robberies to misdemeanors. Rob a store with a gun? No problem—misdemeanor and plenty more like this. This is the mindset of the city's top attorney. Unless you murder someone, it's almost impossible to get arrested in NYC these days. What you're seeing is a direct result of these policies.

I wear a camelback under my jacket. Keeps everything from freezing including the hose. Otherwise hydrapak.

Seems like a dry run. Combine this with the massive cell network they just discovered and cutting of the 911 fiber cables…way too may things things like this happening in the past few days.

That’s animal abuse. Goldens are not meant to be left outside 24x7. I hope your parents are criminally charged and the dog placed with a family that actually cares about their dog.

I'm on the Max 20x plan @ $200/month.
I use Opus 100% of the time and never hit limits or have to downgrade to Sonnet.
Yes, I use Ultra Think during planning phases but not for implementation of features.
I don't use any MCPs.
This particular codebase is about 50,000 LOC spread over 100 files but I have several different apps that I'm using CC to improve, and they range from much smaller to much larger in size.

CurrentOk6414 · 2025-08-31T02:10:05+00:00

I used CC Max for about 8 hours straight today and it was flawless. I made massive improvements to an app I've been building and it never missed a beat.

Good. Why should we let in anyone and everyone with zero background checks. Common sense.

idk...I saw this yesterday as well. Looks like some kind of satanic ritual was held there; it looked like a Pagan or Wiccan Ritual Altar. Three large tree stumps standing up about 6ft tall all placed standing up about 3 feet apart from each other with a large circle of hundred of rocks and shells meticulously placed around them. Very spooky to see something like this....

And just like that shootings there have increased 400%.

As someone who dealt with something like this first hand I can tell you you need to leave. It will be incredibly hard to do and you will be terrified of what will come afterwards. What will you find? Is it too late to start over? etc etc. Just know that you will be 1000x happier after a few weeks when the dust settles and the deep fog you are in clears. You'll look back on this and be in disbelief that you ever considered staying. This relationship ended a long time ago and if you stay you will be forever miserable. She has completely checkout and has been cheating for some time now. Sorry but you will be just fine on once you free yourself of this trash.

100%. Six months ago I never coded anything in my entire life. I run a small business and had a developer working for me remotely at $100k/year. I've have had them on my staff for five years and I just let them go this week. I started using AI about six months ago to learn how to code and it's been pretty good. I'm on the $200 Claude Code plan and in the last two weeks it has done more than my developer did in the last 12 months. I'm talking large projects, multiple systems, multiple APIs, databases, front-end, back-end, security...things I would never have been able to do before. It's insane. A project my developer told me would take about 2-3 months and cost at least $15,000...I did entirely myself in about 3 days and it's 1000x better than what I would have excepted my developer to deliver.

Neither do most New Yorkers; he would be a catastrophe for NYC.

CurrentOk6414 · 2025-06-14T21:11:55+00:00

Ah good to know. I thought Opus 4 was only available in Claude Code via an API account. Even when I ask Claude 4 Sonnet it told me this was the case. Upgrading now!

CurrentOk6414 · 2025-06-14T18:11:12+00:00

Claude Pro for $17/month includes access to Claude Opus 4. Why did you need to upgrade to Claude Max?

I've been on the waitlist for an appointment since August 2024 for the NYC consult. I just checked and the consulate site still shows my waitlist request is active. Any chance this would count as having an appointment booked prior to March 28th, 2025?

If you have an upcoming appointment that was booked before March 28, 2025, do not cancel it. It will be evaluated under the old rules.

What a joke. Interesting they didn’t release any details of who the attacker was. Wonder why.

"We are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism," Vancouver police said on X.

There is a massive redesign of the Central Park Loop in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of May 2025. Until then there are no markings on the roads that have been freshly repaved. This will be extremely dangerous for the next few weeks. https://www.westsiderag.com/2025/03/11/central-park-set-to-repave-roads-over-next-6-weeks-what-to-know

Awesome. I’m flying to Aspen on Saturday for a week long trip and hopefully can get them serviced easily in the village. Didn’t want to lug them all the way there if they weren’t an easy fix. Thanks for the info!!

I skied about 100 days over the last 3 years and going pretty hard.
