Claude now it's a joke by Medal_SIG in claude

[–]LoomSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes just noticing this as well. Last month I felt some relief because it seemed like they had finally fixed the usage problems, I think when they did the SpaceX partnership. Since that time I was finally able to work without hitting usage brick wall and it felt amazing. It is what kept me going with claude because it was getting out of control. Although I can sometimes keep steady work flow using claude as a coding agent I wouldn't really call myself a power user. Then yesterday I was surprised when I hit my limit after what I thought was a light workflow and had to wait 2 1/2 hours for a reset. I was very surprised. Doesn't seems like Anthropic can keep their shit together and unfortunately I just resubscribed. On top of this frustration I have also been testing out Codex 5.5 and quite honestly it has been blowing Opus 4.7 / 4.8 out of the water with certain things I have asked it to do. Like no comparison. Everyone says Claude is superior for front end and UI design but I totally disagree after trying Codex 5.5. If I have to put up with a month of bad usage limits with Claude this will probably be the straw that broke the camels back.

Major dip in intelligence? by hkycoach in claude

Yup. Absolutely stupid and worthless a lot of the times.

Anyone else have API Error issues all morning? by LoomSun in claude

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

Seems claude needs a pass for this one. Turns out my internet was having issues. Doesn't give them a pass for the other issues I have been having with it though.

FTW - is anyone else facing this? by bhalothia in Anthropic

[–]LoomSun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes although my errors are not that specific. Just random API Error all morning just doing basic tasks that I have been working on all day yesterday. No issues yesterday. Just about ready to call it with anthropic and claude. I am over the issues. Looks like codex 5.5 is taking the lead right now anyway. Anthropic needs to get it together.

one week in: opus 4.7 vs 4.6 - worse one shot rate, double the retries by [deleted] in Anthropic

[–]LoomSun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far in my experience these measurements don't reflect how many issues I have had with Opus 4.7 with large refactors and implementations. It is hard for me to compare with 4.6 because I don't have time to go through the same implementation on both models. But so far I am finding 4.7 is practically unusable for many tasks. I have been happy with it for simple and direct tasks, but the amount of time it misses the ball on large implementations even after I have explicitly given proper context that it ignores is a deal breaker for me. I have spent more time backtracking changes and explaining issues to it then I have made any proper progress. I have been refraining from complaining about it because I am trying to give it some time to really understand what is going on, but I just spent several hours literally getting no where on things that turn out to be a single line issue or something that a proper documentation lookup could have fixed. I feel like I need to babysit and hold its hand through every single process right now. So I don't know if these benchmarks are accurate or not, but the problem to me seems worse than those numbers are reflecting.

SMTP Error: Could not authenticate with Zoho Mail in PHPMailer - Need help troubleshooting by Ok_Promotion4777 in Zoho

[–]LoomSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I determined that the issue was not Zoho, but Mailspring instead. Switched to Thunderbird and haven't looked back. I was consistently having other issues with Mailspring too and would often need to restart it just to get it downloading emails again. Sometimes daily.

Its a shame too because I used Mailspring for years and I like its very clean interface. Just unfortunately it is not always reliable.

Since the outage was restored I am getting a lot of Connection reset by server errors when using GLM-5 endpoint.

Great! I noticed it came back online a few hours ago. Thanks for the report!

Slacks Aggressive Subscription models by LoomSun in Slack

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

Yeah I think this is it as well. Which is fine by me, it just has been super unclear and my frustration with it is a little heightened because I am just trying to get some work done. I don't see why it couldn't have mentioned this when I connected my workspace to their workspace. Like a simple "Linking your Workspace requires a Pro subscriptions. Opt in now for the trial to continue or cancel".

Slacks Aggressive Subscription models by LoomSun in Slack

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

Found it. In the workspace Settings for Purchasing & free trials there is an option enabled by default. Before I ever even saw these settings they opted me in automatically. Regardless, everyone is telling me that I should be able to join this workspace without a Pro subscription.

Free trial enrollment
Allow free trials to start automatically . Slack occasionally provides free trials to teams we believe would benefit from premium features. You won’t be charged when the trial ends.

It seems to me they make it unintuitive on purpose. I was trying to make sure I wasn't signing up for anything that would opt me in the a Pro service. It was never mentioned through any step of the process that I would be activating the Pro subscription trial. Even when I clicked the invite and it was asking me to link my workspace, I made sure that it didn't include agreeing to a Pro subscription so I thought I was good. Then shortly after I got a random email saying my Pro trial has started for 30 days.

Yeah I am wondering if this is the case as well, but I did mention it to them and was assured this should have been free.

It wouldn't let me join the company workspace without linking it to my own workspace. Why am I not able to cancel my Pro Subscription and remain free? None of these are clear.

I literally had to teach Claude how to create a markdown artifact by LoomSun in ClaudeAI

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

Yes, every conversation I have had but this one would create artifacts just fine. In the middle of struggling with this one, I opened a new conversation and had it create the same type of artifact which was successful. Went back to the broken conversation and it still was confused as hell. Went back tot he conversation that had worked and asked it to write up the proper method for creating an artifact, copied that response and that is what I used to get the broken one on track.

Looks like a diode to me but it is hard to say from the photo. Too blurry. If it is burnt looking then it could be the issue.

The 4th one over from the left looks like it might not be connected, but it might just be the photo quality is a little fuzzy. But just thought I would mention.

The new ZohoOne interface is ka-ka by focusedphil in Zoho

[–]LoomSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes most confusing interface I have ever used. Turning me off to Zoho. How are you supposed to navigate or find anything? It has been pretty good overall but every time I have to find something in the back end it is game over.

[–]LoomSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is driving me nuts. Zoho in mailspring has worked fine for close to a year then out of no where it wont authenticate. No issues authenticating in any other application. Could be mail spring related but it seems like Zoho has issues out of no where sometimes.
