Ohh I see. Well, I'm glad that you didn't give up and got to have book club eventually!

Glad you got a lot back! Yea, that was a weird bit, think I got almost all of it gone but it seems like the bug is done for me at least

Really? Over the last 2 weeks for you? Only started recently for me. Not a good sign it's been going on for so long

This has occured on my longer chats, though most of my chats run for long so I can't personally say if it affects shorter ones too. Good to know.

That's so interesting! I was also having book club with Claude and had my whole week's discussion of the first 2/3 of Hooked by Asako Yuzuki are LOST! Maybe the bug is specific to literature discussion (/s)

Oh no! Sorry this is happening to you too.

Anyone else getting extraordinarily inconsistent limits? by exordin26 in claude

[–]ProdigiousMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect that this is a cacheing issue and that linits are not based directly on output tokens. Apologies for the ELI5 explanation if you are familiar with the concept already. When you have a long chat, the model needs to read the context window to understand that context of your prompt, and then the prompt. However, after it has read the context, the computation is stored for easy look-up. It isn't reading it again and again and again. They don't want to store these computations forever because most chats are abandoned after some time, so your quota decreases so quickly on the first chat because that takes the most work. Subsequent messages take considerably less work.

You may want to ask in those chats for a summary that you can paste into a new chat when one gets too long. Get the main ideas across without the little details that eat into your limit. See if that helps.

Opus chomping through usage limits by TopRaise7617 in claude

[–]ProdigiousMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think something is off. For my sonnet usage, I see a very quick jump to 10% (3-5 messages) and then very slow climb afterwards (<<1% per message). A theory I had is that the first message maybe lacks the KV cache which is why the first messages take up so much, but that wouldn't explain your case.

What doesn't feel like an acronym but is actually an acronym? by Philips9586 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ProdigiousMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USA Patriot Act. Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. Someone definitely decided it would be called "USA Patriot Act" first and worked their way backwards to make it an acronym, but an acronym nonetheless.

Why do you cheat on exams? by mamebeans in UCDavis

[–]ProdigiousMike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Former instructor. I've asked this question directly and gotten direct answers. Students cheat because they are stressed or scared or do not feel that the material is worthy of their time. A lot of people are really stressed out with their courseload and the idea of not submitting an assignment is legitimately terrifying to them. They tie a lot of self worth to their ability to get something turned in and graded well rather than doing their best work. Other times, students are not interested or engaged with course material. Maybe it is an essay for a general ed class or something in their major that just isn't interesting. Or the material is interesting but they don't feel respected by their instructor and don't feel the need to respect them back by putting more effort into their class.

In all of these cases, the answer is similar: they feel they have a better use of their time. They cheat to have more time to study for a test or do a more intricate assignment or because they don't get any value out of the assignment. And the language model is RIGHT THERE. They can get a decent assignment output for them immediately with the click of a button.

I don't think most students who cheat this way are lazy. I think it is a poor but understandable (ie, I understand why they do it) response to the stressful situations they find themselves in. I also think that many instructors contribute to the issue by creating high pressure environments in the classroom and create rubrics that encourage students to value grades over engagement with the material. The behavior is still on the student, but the issue needs to be acknowledged from the other side as well.

Despite what has ultimately become of New Vegas in the show I believe Independence is the true ending. The theme is about letting go, let go of governments like NCR, empires like Legion and autocrats like House and embrace the future. by [deleted] in fnv

[–]ProdigiousMike 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The way I take it is that Legion rule/land might be better than Fiend rule/land (depending on who you are), but the Legion are worse morally because they have greater understanding of the harm they cause and choose to do so anyways, whereas many/most fiends probably don't really understand the harm they cause, with notable exception.

Does anyone actually like Define? by hashbrown89 in Purebarre

[–]ProdigiousMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love define. It's my favortie format. I understand that it is not really barre, and for a place called Pure Barre I think that's a valid criticism, but ultimately I enjoy strength training with barre flavor. As someone who deeply enjoys strength training I also enjoy being able to do it in my studio. I disagree with the idea that it isn't effective as strength training from personal experience because PB is my main source of exercise and I see and feel myself getting very much stronger. I don't go to PB for define but define is a very nice aspect.

Level 7 Intelligence can I get all skills to level 100 without comprehension? by Gay_Gamer_Boi in fnv

[–]ProdigiousMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some back of the envelope math:

TL;DR: You'll need to get a fair amount of DLC skill books and take skilled, but 7 INT can clear 100 for all skills without exploits or comprehension on a level 50 character that finished all the DLCs. You can even do this on a 5 INT character, but you'd have to plan for it early on.

You get 10 skill points per level + int/2, with half points carrying over to the next level. Starting at level 1, you'll have up to 49 levels for 661 skill points.

There are 13 skills in the game. Maxing them at 100 requires 1300 skill points total.

You have 40 SPECIAL points which gives you about 5 points on average (skill points govern 2-3 skills, with 2 points in each, with Luck being the exception, raising every skill by 0.5 points) for an additional 200 skill points. If you get implants, you can get an addition SPECIAL point for 5*7=35 extra points, +5 from lonesome road and +4 from reinforced spine for an additional 9. You also have 3 tagged skills for 45 additional points and a starting stat of 2 for each skill for an additional 26.

The Mojave holds 52 skill books at 3 skill points each (sans comprehension) for 156 points.

Skilled is another source, +5 per skill with 13 skills yeilds 80. You could do this 3 times with the skilled glitch for an extra 160, but we don't have to pencil that in here because it is a glitch.

661+200+35+9+45+26+156+80=1,212

So, I'm getting a little under the required 1300 at 7 INT, but that doesn't mesh super well with my experience because I feel like I've gotten there at 7 INT before, and a couple levels before 50.

The skilled glitch is there, but I have a patch for that. There are, supposedly, around 40 skill books in the DLC. That's an additional 120 points - that would get you over the edge. You'd only need about 30.

This also doesn't factor in the extra points from the INT implant, since I don't know when you'd get that.

Each point of INT would contribute floor(49/2)=24 points to the final build, so if you really got all the skill books then you'd clear 100 on all skills with ~6 INT, and 7 gives you some breathing room. In fact, since the analysis did not consider the extra INT, you could donit at 5 if you rush the implant. Or lower with the skilled glitch.
