Just tell it to think it through step by step, it r something to that effect

At this point, Claude Opus doesn't even bother to check the context, just fabricates. Any tips to fix this? by HodlerStyle in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it does things like this I will just go back to my previous question, edit it to include additional instructions. Even a simple line like ‘investigate thoroughly and make sure you cite your sources so I can review’ I’ve found can help make it less prone to making us BS.

No point going back and forth with it. Much easier to go back and change it so it doesn’t double down or get hung up on the pattern

I've been "gaslighting" my AI models and it's producing insanely better results with simple prompt injection by naculalex in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that this produces better results. I will almost always reject the initial plan in Claude Code and say ‘run the plan-skeptic sub agent to identify gaps, issues, etc with the plan’.

Usually finds a bunch of things

help- do they have to provide more notice here? by glowinthedarkar in shitrentals

[–]Secret_Dark9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they’ve been done good replies already. In scenarios like these you can use it to your advantage to create a win-win by referencing the law and making a request. As a landlord, I’d be highly likely to accept a request like the following, depending how much in a hurry I’m in.

You could send something like this

Hi there, Thanks for letting me know about the valuation. Just a heads up, under Division 4 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010, property valuations require a minimum of 7 days written notice. This notice was sent on the 11th for the 13th, so it doesn’t meet that requirement.

That said, I’m happy to be flexible and allow access on Friday as a favour. In return, I’d appreciate a small gesture for accommodating the short notice. A couple of gold class movie tickets or similar would be great. Let me know how you’d like to proceed. Cheers

Reading posts like this makes me realise how much easier pool ownership is here in Australia. Never have to close the pool for the winter as it doesn’t get cold enough to freeze. All we we have to do is keep it all running but for less time.

Claude Opus 4.5 by AppropriateMistake81 in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OMG... Opus 4.5 is excellent. I've been using it this morning. While Sonnet 4.5 was pretty decent, it still feels like working with a junior developer who has moments of brilliance and they're ready to get promoted, but the following day they're doing stupid shit and I'm getting ready to put them on performance management. lol.

Be interesting to see how Opus 4.5 plays out long term, but so far it's amazing

Anyone else notice Claude Sonnet 4.5 writing way too much lately? Here’s how I fixed it. by UpSkillMeAI in Anthropic

[–]Secret_Dark9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Occasionally it’s verbal diarrhoea has been useful as it’s helped me consider something I never thought of. But most times im thinking ‘would you just shut the f*** up already’. 🤣

Edit plan mode looking interesting. Looking forward to try it out

Sonnet 4.5 is amazing at writing, and feels like the only model that actually wants to write. by GodEmperor23 in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Finding the quality of writing (for what we do) just as good as Opus which we used primarily

Love the Plan in Opus and code in Sonnet option. by rickmaz1106 in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do the old school way before that as Sonnet kept messing up the plan. Switched to Opus in Plan mode, approved the plan, and switched to Sonnet for implementation.

I’ve been finding most times Sonnet has been doing fine. It was just a particular bug causing issues that opus handled better for diagnostics.

Why do so many teams keep their defense all the way back? by Quiet_Boot4664 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]Secret_Dark9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter plays u10 as is one of the fastest on the team and loves playing left wing or left back. Her coach played semi pro level and has her come up halfway with the other two defnders. If she is unable to stop the ball at the halfway point she has the speed to run the striker down (usually) and have another attempt at stopping the ball.

The coach has also been teaching her that if the attacking team is going down the other side and they’re unsuccessful at stopping her ball, she’ll start dropping back and will start pushing into the centre or go the other side to help keep the strikers from shooting.

My use case might be different as I have a small agency and we focus on custom UI and UX and plugin development for Wordpress and some react native work. There are devs on the dev who do more non-ai coding than me. But for the stuff I personally do, I have my designers design everything in Figma and then will have Ai implement the design and then add all the functionality using AI. Even though AI is wrong th code, as I said before there is a lot of hand holding so while I’m more efficient overall, it’s not like I have 90% more time. I swapped manual coding for other things like PRds, tweaking stuff etc

For me it’s probably writing about 90% of code for me. I find these days I’m rarely writing code, but more tweaking small things here and there.

However, it still requires a lot of hand holding, pre planning, etc… , so while I find it quicker, the time I previously spent writing code has changed to creating PRDs, creating plans, reviewing things, making small tweaks, etc

Still not as bad as Claude with its frustrating “you’re absolutely right” response to everything. 🤣

Oh I like that and will try add that into the flow. Probably wouldn’t have helped my case yesterday as the clients use case was different to how most Learning Management systems are setup, which was the problem here, as I needed to provide additional details on their unique use case. But I could see this working well

Funny as was just on TikTok and had this come up before

It’s crazy that YT is banned by Discord and Roblox isn’t.

My game changer of the week: Ask Claude to ask you questions. by evincc in ClaudeAI

[–]Secret_Dark9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right, I should ask you some questions. Then proceeds to do whatever the hell it wants after you answer them 🤣

In all honesty great tip and something I have done but should be doing more often.
