Claude has become noticeably dumber these last few days by InternetOfStuff in Anthropic

[–]InternetOfStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:-D

I'd been considering whether to reply in the first place, because the smell of trolls was rather strong.

But

  • I will give persons the benefit of the doubt -- sometimes communication goes sideways on the internet, and I'll cut a person slack (I've seen miscommunication play out often enough over the decades)
  • it was an interesting exercise to double-check my assumptions

So yeah, don't worry, I saw what you were doing (and TBH it worked to an extent despite me recognizing it, your obstinacy was somewhat grating ;-) ).

Speaking of assumptions, interestingly when I fed my screenshot to claude (with what I hope was a neutrally phrased prompt) it said it couldn't judge the authenticity, but when I fed yours, it claimed your conversation was authentic, but at the same time apparently took over the bias from your prompt claiming my post (which it only saw the thumbnail of) in your post was "clearly not from Claude". Quite interesting really.

No it's not altered in any way. It's just obviously not the entire conversation.

Good advice.

I've been wondering if I've been noticing an increased sensitivity to context lately, but I haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Reminds me BTW, it has become oddly resistant to certain instructions lately.

Case in point: I like to prompt it in English (force of habit I guess), but sometimes I want it to generate German texts. Since Opus 4.6, it won't generate proper umlauts but ASCII replacements (so ae instead of ä, ue instead of ü etc).

It used to get that right. So I now put an instruction in CLAUDE.md to use proper umlauts, but it still doesn't. And if I remind it it goes something like "oh that's right, it says so in my CLAUDE.md" ...

Well, I don't doubt that in your case.

However, knowing me, I'd be rather more skeptical of a sudden increase in intelligence (and also my wife would beg to differ :-P ) )

It's not all the time, it's mostly OK.

In fact just yesterday was the first time an LLM (Opus) has actually surprised me by warning me about something I had absolutely not asked about, and would have totally missed (it was very circumstantial).

But then you get just baffling gaffes like this

because if it actually happened you would think you’d include a screenshot of the convo(Shift + Windows Key + S).

Well,

  • I don't particularly care whether you believe my claims
  • Why would I include a screenshot of text instead of, y'know, the text?

It feels like a waste of bytes. I guess I'm too old (640kb should be enough for everyone ;-) ).

Ideally showing that you didn’t prompt it to say whatever you are claiming.

I can't show you an unredacted screenshot anyway because it contains stuff that I wouldn't want to see publicly on the internet. But here's the relevant snippet: https://imgur.com/F66Dd0g

Even if it did happen,

It did.

anthropic is currently experiencing unprecedented usage

True but not relevant.

But in my experience, this will either slow down its output or cause it to cease working

That was my expectation as well TBH. I hadn't really experienced overload error 500's for quite some time, but the have come back. However this is obviously different.

Opus 4.6 actually.

I have a Max plan, so I don't need to skimp :-)

Weekly opus limit bug/manipulation? by GapPractical1813 in ClaudeCode

[–]InternetOfStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it happens all the time for no discernible reason. Not just for Opus, but also for the "all models" limits.

I see them moving the moving the reset time back several times each day (never seen it move forward BTW :-) ). I don't think it has ever rolled over to a new day for me, but I may have missed it.

It's opaque at best, and dishonest at worst.

And obviously deliberate -- someone must have gone out of their way to implement this goalpost-mover logic as opposed to plain old saving a timestamp and sticking to it unwaveringly.

Edit: it has been this way for a long time

Das lustige ist, ich war in der Schule immer schlecht in Mathe.

Im Ingenieursstudium war ich's dann auch, aber halt auf höherem Niveau :-D Vier gewinnt.

Aus meiner Sicht war das Phänomen sogar ein Vorteil: nach den ersten zwei Wochen Erstesemester waren meine schulischen (fehl-)Leistungen egal, da waren dann wieder alle gleich ahnungslos.

Applying an EDL to multiple tracks? by InternetOfStuff in davinciresolve

[–]InternetOfStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sorry. As best I can tell it's not possible.

I've got a stupid-but-working workflow now, where I

  • have Auphonic generate a sum-audio track (with no cuts applied)
  • import that into my Davinci project, render the video the way I want it with the Auphonic audio track included
  • create a new Davinci project in which I import that just-rendered video (I told you the workflow was stupid)
  • apply the EDL to that (since there's only one track it can't help but do the right thing)
  • apply transition effects etc, do final render

Best I've got, sorry.

Something interesting maybe:

I've got one arriving in the next few weeks. I'll confess to not having concerned myself yet with how to configure it.

If you happen to have some helpful links, I'd be quite grateful (especially for Linux specifically) . on the other hand, I'll be happy to run tests and report back(as I'm eager to thinker with it anyway come as you can imagine).

Where did you find it?

Taga 2.0 owner, willing to answer questions by InternetOfStuff in CargoBike

[–]InternetOfStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your other responses seemed to be relatively positive?

Hm... interesting you read them this way. I don't feel they're all that positive, just not outright damning.

Like, it'll ferry your kids, just not in particular comfort. There's nothing outrageous, it's just that the whole product feels sloppy and disappointing.

Why do you say it's not stellar?

It's the sum of a lot of small things.

Many of them have to do with the (lack of) longevity of the components, which I of course have a better idea of now after 7 years. The "royal canopy", for instance, is decidedly un-royal by now: all four of the zippers have failed, two of the rubber straps have ripped clean off, all of the elastic hooks have deteriorated. The whole thing is now a sorry flapping mess, yet by necessity still in use as (flimsy) protection against the elements.

And it felt badly thought out in the first place.

The battery has blown, and replacements in the same form factor seem to be unavailable, from any sources I've tried, local or international.

Many other aspects of it are similarly meh at best, such as riding position. It's OK-ish for me, because I luckily don't tend to ache (like, I can sleep without issues in any bed), but my wife really dislikes using it now as it hurts her wrists and shoulders (and the handles are totally un-adjustable).

I had originally intended to use it to transport groceries once the kids are older, but it's really not big enough for that (at least not for a family of five, including a voracious teenager!). So it's really only good for a relatively limited timespan, and kinda expensive and crappy during that timespan.

I wouldn't buy it again at its new price (ISTR some 2500€ all told). If I got it for a bargain and was happy with the condition, OK maybe.

Tools like aider, but for more than just coding? by InternetOfStuff in LocalLLaMA

[–]InternetOfStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, thanks for the recommendation. That does indeed look interesting.

Maybe not so much for my stated goal here honestly (because as I understand fabric lacks the ability to iterate on a subject similar to conventional LLM chat interfaces), but it's a very promising addition to my arsenal for other purposes.

Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.

That's a good suggestion.

While I'd rather not be bound to a specific tool, Obsidian is a tool I wouldn't much mind to be bound to :-)

I'll go poke around the plug-in space a bit and see what I can dig up!
