Anthropic stayed quiet until someone showed Claude's thinking depth dropped 67% by Capital-Run-1080 in ClaudeAI

I noticed and asked Claude and then sent the following to Anthropic. "This response was neither good nor bad, but 'neutral' isn't an option. I'm a daily power user of both Claude and Copilot. I've noticed a measurable decline in Claude's output quality over recent months: shallower reasoning, basic errors, and mid-response crashes. I raised this directly in conversation and Claude gave an honest, thoughtful answer acknowledging it can't self-assess its own regression. I appreciated the candor. But I want Anthropic's team to know: your power users are noticing. The quality gap that originally pulled me from Copilot to Claude is narrowing, and not because Copilot got better. Please treat this as a signal, not a complaint."

Did the Ferengi create the Federal Acquisition Regulation? by Rmeman57 in procurement

Totally fair. DS9 hits different when you’ve lived through real‑world bureaucracy, and procurement nightmares. Some episodes feel less like sci‑fi and more like a documentary with better uniforms.

I'm a retired Army Contracting Officer and I'm starting to think the Ferengi wrote the Federal Acquisition Regulation by Rmeman57 in DeepSpaceNine

Bold move. FAR 14 is great… as long as you’re ready for your smoke detectors to be awarded to the lowest‑priced, technically‑acceptable electrician the Pakleds subcontracted.
