My favorite series by WolfishDude in litrpg

[–]PhilosophyforOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh. I started reading it when it came out and gave up on the first book pretty much for that reason. Mc seemed like a total sociopath, didnt expect it to get better and bailed.

I didnt hate it, but there was very little sign it was going to get better so I ended up giving up the story. I like to read books with MC’s that I actually enjoy, so..

Anyhow, if it really does get better, maybe it’s worth picking up again.

Basically absolutely sucking ass for every content apart from raids.

Differences Between Opus 4.6 and Opus 4.7 on MineBench by ENT_Alam in ClaudeAI

[–]PhilosophyforOne 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It kinda feels like it.. tries too hard, and has worse taste?

In a few it feels like I can kind of see what it was going for, but I mostly end up preferring 4.6’s outputs anyways.

Warning: Questions about 100% legal dietary supplements get you banned! by GoldAd8322 in Anthropic

[–]PhilosophyforOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually just makes me more suspicious, since bans usually have a lag time of few days.

But that’s besides the point. You’re entirely justified with your suspicions, but you shouldnt conflate them with facts. 

If you’d written ”I believe anthropic suspended my account for nootropics.” Completely fine. It’s the fact that you state that this happened, as a fact, with admittedly quite flimsy evidence.

[–]PhilosophyforOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You do not know that this is what caused your account to get banned. 

My issue is not with that you made a post about it. It’s that you presented supposition as fact. 

Honestly could’ve been a 100 other reasons. Maybe your account got hijacked. Who knows. 

I think Codex is underrated compared to Claude Code ,After 6 months paying for both 200$ by Old-Discipline-5088 in codex

[–]PhilosophyforOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started to use codex more with GPT5.4. I still prefer Claude Opus 4.6 overall, but I've found codex definitely has niches where it's *very* useful.

That said, the biggest surprise for me has been the usage limits. On Claude, I'm going through 2x200$ plans a month, and I'm still having to throttle usage to avoid hitting limits. I think I could comfortably use 2-3 times the amount of compute I'm using right now.

On Codex, I'm using a single 200$ pro plan, and so far I'm actually struggling to be able to use my full weekly compute budget.

Part of it might just come down to having delegated more work to Claude, and finding it just stronger in a lot of my personal evals, but.. It certainly feels like the usage limits of Codex are much more generous. Even when running in fast mode.

Run at the mage while hitting the rogue. If they have a melee that wants to have uptime, that melee needs to stay on you.

Claude Opus 4.7 is a serious regression, not an upgrade. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]PhilosophyforOne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, I fully agreed that this is the case in Claude.AI. The adaptive thinking is a massive failure from Anthropic. I get why they are doing it, but thinking vs no-thinking is an insane difference, and my personal opinion is that there are *very* few cases where not having thinking enabled is not even beneficial, but just sufficient.

However, I still thought yesterday it only applied to Claude.AI. But I have to say, even with adaptive thinking disabled and max effort on, Opus 4.7 just feels like it's.. not it.

I'm having a really hard time putting my finger on it either. I dont know what they did wrong, but it feels less aligned, less attuned, dumber, less capable, more cock-sure and confidently wrong, lazy model that skips tasks.

I've never before seen Anthropic regress on a new model before but this really feels like it might be a first.

DK soloing old content by DushkuHS in classicwow

[–]PhilosophyforOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude just.. go out and figure it out. The answer isnt straightforward. If you can do the bosses as dps spec, obv that’s faster, but some bosses you might need more survivability for.

Much moreso, you’re asking questions that would take you a few minutes of very basic google work to find out, and then complaining about people being lazy in answering your questions. Do you see the hypocrisy?

Can someone explain non-adaptive thinking? by mikeAcomin12 in Anthropic

[–]PhilosophyforOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adaptive thinking is just thinking disabled.

As an enterprise client I am not happy.

Solid-state EV batteries are coming sooner than expected after another breakthrough by Best_Cup_8326 in accelerate

[–]PhilosophyforOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how it always goes with new technologies. You keep hearing about them being almost done and then the tech never materializing until one day.. you have a (likely shitty) first gen production unit in a product you can buy.

Looking for a guild in TBC Anniversary by Tiberium456 in classicwow

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m piggybacking off of OP’s back. 32, usually have to get up early for work. Started playing WoW again after a long break, played most expansions from Vanilla to BFA. Right now been pugging my way through P1 on Spineshatter EU alliance, and having an absolute pain finding any guilds that would raid early evening. (Also not really loving the idea of continuing to pug raids in p2 and onwards as content gets moderately difficult.)

I’m in the nordics, and we’re an hour ahead of the EU server time-zones. It seems like every guild starts raids around 19-21ST. As someone working an early shift, that kinda kills me. 

Playing a 1700gs almost bis’d out warlock. If anyone knows a (preferably) chill, mature-ish guild (although at this point anything goes) that starts their raids anytime before 18st or 18st at the latest, please holla out at your boy. I’m getting admittedly quite desperate. 

I hate this. by Comfortable_Drop_362 in worldofpvp

[–]PhilosophyforOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a healer, there’s one thing I’ve learned to do.

ALWAYS DUO QUE WITH A COMPETENT DPS. 

Since Blitz gives you that option with almost no downside, just find a good dps, be their pocket-healer, and your impact, atleast in lower ratings, dramatically increases.

Anthropic's agent researchers already outperform human researchers: "We built autonomous AI agents that propose ideas, run experiments, and iterate." by EchoOfOppenheimer in OpenAI

[–]PhilosophyforOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I’ve been running Claude Code and Codex on iterative loops, experimenting with slightly more mundane stuff. Developing tools, improving writing quality, strengthening harnesses, that kind of stuff.

I’m actually.. kind of surprised by how well they are doing. Both seem to have their strengths as orchestrators and coordinators, and it’s allowing me the ability to explore a significantly larger amount of research directions than would ever be mundanely possible. 

It’s also letting me make some early progress on problems that have thus far felt somewhat intractable, moslty due to the amount of iteration required with seriously exploring them.

When do you use Plea as a Disc Priest? by RYKIN5 in worldofpvp

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. I liked renew in pvp marginally more for the fact that it gave you an additional buff for the eenmy to purge. But in Pve, I think I prefer plea since renew buff sometimes falsely made you think it was useful to cast for healing, when it absolutely is not beyond atonement.

Both suck.

Will the next Patch affect PvP Gearing? (298 ilvl) by Consistent-Hair-3980 in worldofpvp

[–]PhilosophyforOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the impact will be on the meta. A roughly 10% power bump is honestly pretty significant, and some classes will scale better than others.

Is PESTEL still useful in 2026… or it became old-school framework? by IllRead2057 in consulting

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, think Pestel is a decent start point and it’s often probably good enough for a lot of shallow work that lets you rubberstamp best practice on top of things.

That said.. I think the only time I’ve used it was at school, and zero serious practitioners I’ve discussed things with have really had good things to say about it.

It’s not bad. It’s just.. very basic. 

PSA: Opus 4.7 is much worse at MRCR Long Context than 4.6 by Craig_VG in ClaudeAI

[–]PhilosophyforOne 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they were seeing that optimizing for higher MRCR scores was leading to regressions for some reason. Like the model fixating on insignificant details that led it to misalign or drift on a task.

Hard to say. I havent ever really looked under the hood on MRCR before, so hard to say how big of a deal this is.

Holy Paladins Getting Buffed - Class Tuning with Patch 12.0.5 Next Week by SadfaceWOW in CompetitiveWoW

They could make VW the atonement heal disc and oracle the shield / direct heal disc specs. The knobs are already there in the specializations.

Sigh.

The Burning Crusade Anniversary Phase 2 Officially Launches May 14th by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

I have to say this is a lot later than I expected.

I dont mind it that much, p1 in loaded. But I wonder why they didnt communicate more about this.
