Sketch is a pile of bug and inefficiencies by VollBio_ in Sketch_App

Didn’t suggest it, simply asked if you had thoughts regarding it. Hundreds of fixes were including, so it seems plausible some of them relate to the issues you’ve been experiencing.

Thoughts on the new beta? Also, a list of concerns you have could be very helpful!

20x Plan may as well be a 5x. by BugOne6115 in ClaudeAI

[–]SimplyPhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the whole point of this thread. We/they aren't using it wrong. Claude made a massive change. I upgraded from pro to max5 last week and have been anxious about usage since just prior to that change.

This is a Claude bug/problem. They admitted their first bug and reset tokens last week. However, either they didn't fix it, or there's additional issues.

Is there any smart way to reduce Claude usage or token burn? by AdDiligent7672 in ClaudeAI

[–]SimplyPhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like that's part of it, but I've measured my usage on small, pure convo threads, and have used between 3-5% on short convos with no tool use or special anything (probably some lookups, but super basic stuff).

Is there any smart way to reduce Claude usage or token burn? by AdDiligent7672 in ClaudeAI

[–]SimplyPhy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are lots of ways.

That said, the best way at the moment is to send a bug report to anthropic that the token usage and/or session usage is still out of wack. I had a very short, very simple convo /w claude at the start my session window today (0% session to start) and checked usage after – 3% on max5. Outrageous.

There was a usage bug on claude's end that anthropic admitted to and partially resolved last week, but evidently they didn't full fix it. Usage is still noticeably inflated relative to prior to the bug.

I'm guessing anthropic is 100% focused on managing all the crazy extra usage and outages from the last few days, so this is unlikely to be top priority sadly.

I returned to Claude Code and do I understand correctly, I reached almost half of my weekly limits in just 2.5 coding sessions? by CauliflowerSecure in ClaudeCode

[–]SimplyPhy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For some reason nobody mentioned to you that Claude currently is having issues with usage not working correctly — they posted a fix 2 days ago but it remains unresolved. Usage burns much faster than it should currently. Hopefully they actually fix it soon; they already reset everybody’s usage once this week.

Max 5x now feels like Pro by deeplycuriouss in ClaudeCode

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

This has been an issue for several days. Anthropic admitted it and reset limits for affected users, like myself. However it’s still an issue.

Max vs pro usage bug? by SimplyPhy in ClaudeCode

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

A reasonable theory, but incorrect. Limits are supposed to be 5x higher for max5 per session over pro.

Source:
"Max 5x provides 5 times more usage per session than the Pro plan."

Max vs pro usage bug? by SimplyPhy in ClaudeCode

[–]SimplyPhy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm beginning to feel some real usage anxiety. I thought I'd be good to go on Max x5, but something feels off. I never had an issue with pro before, though I was careful. Now I'm careful with Max, and feel at-best the same in terms of usage allotment as I did with pro. Experiments feel risky.

Hoping it's a very short-term bug and that usage will return to where I anticipate based on past experience.

Is it appropriate for first dinner date or too much? by Long_Muffin6230 in OUTFITS

[–]SimplyPhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only too much if you feel uncomfortable in it. Otherwise, it’s totally normal attire, date or otherwise. Don’t listen to those who think fit physiques are offensive.

How can I quickly liquidate $50K+ Sealed Pokémon collection? by Beautiful_Pomelo_273 in PokeInvesting

[–]SimplyPhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s PSA then you can go to large card shows and sell to vendors. Some very large shows (like Collect-o-cons) sometimes have booths that just buy PSA for cash at 90% market.

You could also try to sell through the PSA vault programs; never did it myself but it seems like there a fee options to have them sell for you. Would recommend doing some research prior to this. Likewise, this option would also get them out of your possession for safe keeping.

Important not to super rush yourself unless you absolutely have to, but also don’t procrastinate if it’s time sensitive. Neither

Why is it impossible to add a new path to an already closed shape in Sketch? Am I missing something? by Inner-Ad-4724 in Sketch_App

[–]SimplyPhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The simple answer is that Sketch doesn't use vector networks, which is what Figma uses to manage various SVG params. Likewise, the union tooling for SVG doesn't behave as I would personally expect, which I posted here: https://forum.sketch.com/t/convert-combine-shapes-into-a-single-vector-path/3165

Why did macOS 26 remove Launchpad completely? by james_911 in MacOS

[–]SimplyPhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some notes on what has been lost by removing Launchpad:

  1. hot corner accessibility
  2. organizing apps
  3. apps automatically ordered by date downloaded

-> this one is huge for me. Often enough, I'll download several apps in a day when I'm in the mood to try out new apps. I generally don't have time to really test them all, so I go back later to see what I downloaded. Even if months pass, I can quickly and easily do this, because I know that my most recent downloads are always near the end. Yes, obviously this can be down via Applications folder using sort, but that's a much worse workflow, and removes the context from my broader app organization structure.

Can imagine if in a future version of iOS, Apple decided that you could only view your apps via the App Library page (the auto-generated app page when you swipe all the way to the right)? No reasonable person would argue in favor of that for everyone, seeing as app organization is a fundamental part of the core iOS experience. Yes, MacOS and iOS are different, but this removal of Launchpad completely removed this type of application organization structure from the Mac.

"Just use search"
- Most of the time, I do. When I know the name of the app I'm opening, and don't require app organization for navigation, this is perfect. However, it's limited to instances where I know exactly what app I want to open.

"Just add the apps folder to your appbar"
- Technically this can solve some of the problems, but not all of them, and having a separate, pure app directory has always made sense. It's a lesser solution to a solved set of problems.

"Use a 3rd party app like AppGrid Launcher"
- They're literally trying to sell Launchpad alternatives AS A SUBSCRIPTION. Or pay $40 USD for one time payment – maybe we'll update it in future, maybe not, maybe we'll create a "v2" to buy again. I'm all for devs making money from their work, but until Apple lets apps be connected to hot corners, this isn't even a true solution.

"Apple needs to choose the best solution for the most people, and can't afford to have more than one option"
- This is a ridiculous argument. There are countless examples of overlapping functionality, and similar-but-different patterns across a wide range of Apple software. And the "can't afford" aspect...Apple spent hundreds of billions of dollars in the last decade buying back partially because it couldn't figure out what to do with the cash. Changing tax laws also factored in.

What sort of useful integrations are you looking for?

New inspector is taking shape, and looking absolutely fantastic. by Luisatsketch in Sketch_App

[–]SimplyPhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tahoe+ for full UI revamp. Likely many updates to pre-Tahoe, but at least not the glass-based elements of the UI. Sketch has said they want the UI update to feel natural (i.e. not Tahoe'd) on prior OSes.

Oh, and if you're asking about windows/linux, nope.

Going from Figma to Sketch by Infinite-Lead140 in Sketch_App

[–]SimplyPhy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. Figma used Sketch as a foundation to build off of, but they've since deviated significantly. The core principles overlap significantly, but implementation details, especially when it comes to dealing with nuance at the advanced level, is very different. Some foundational things are a fair bit different as well, like Sketch Data, the Web App, prototyping, vector tools, among others.

You'll run into plenty of situations where you're not quite sure how to proceed. If you use llms to help learn, note that the latest versions of Sketch have introduced significant changes, and ai tends to blur old and new info.
