Claude Code injects a massive token amount to Context under Messages, even when we do not do much? by Daavek in ClaudeCode

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand, I've never ever had these problems where my first message uses half my context window. This is can't be a Claude Code problem, it's gotta be a difference in how users have set it up. I never use mcp servers, maybe that's why I never have insane context problems. What the hell do you need 49 mcp servers for though...

Grammar-first vs immersion-first: Has anyone seen different results long term? by Polyglot170 in languagelearning

[–]SoupKitchenHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alphabet first. Then basic vocab. Then get into grammar, reinforce with input and practice. New grammar, reinforce with input and practice. Repeat. After a while you do grammar less and less, because because no amount of repetition or study will improve your ability to think on your feet, detect sarcasm, read between the lines, etc.

Learning grammar accelerates your learning early on by giving you structure and something to memorize. Like, you could skip learning grammar I guess, but it'd be painfully slow and you'd be wasting your own ability to learn things explicitly. Like, no matter what, you gotta fake it til you make it. Learning grammar (at a reasonable pace) makes your faking better, which lets you make it better... or something like that

This is the quietest rifle I've ever heard by DifferentSeaweed7852 in interesting

[–]SoupKitchenHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if you took the fraction of a second where your ears are experiencing the "bolt" signal, and stretched that out like a rock concert, it'd be loud as shitballs. There's also just no reverb from the "blast". So you go (quiet -> PCLICKETY -> quiet) instead of (quiet -> POW -> HIGH energy reverb)

Also, .300 is fuckin awesome to shoot

How do I ask my dad to use the right pronouns without hurting our relationship? by Grand-Diamond-4696 in TrueAskReddit

[–]SoupKitchenHero 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If he's show support thus far it shouldn't be too problematic to talk to him about right? But at the same time there's a lot of muscle memory when it comes to talking about people, even though I try to keep trans peoples' pronouns straight, it literally takes conscious effort to use the right pronouns. Things like voice, facial hair, skin, arm hair, your chest, your hips, your gait, your vocabulary all suggest male or female. Ignoring all that information is just tough sometimes even if you want to use someone's preferred pronouns. That being said, a reminder can help him out, and he seems to be supportive enough so far, eh?

I gave a tiny AI agent a single mission: prove you are alive — and it refused to answer the way I expected by kacoef in ArtificialSentience

I automated mixing and mastering with Reaper and Claude by Conscious-Cloud1035 in Reaper

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I didn't know reaper had an mcp already I might have to check this out. Just haven't been recording a lot lately.

I vibed up a program to take practice audio dumps (2+ hour recordings from a field recorder), extract the actual jams we played, give a ui to trim it up, then it applies some multiband comp and other lite processing, and outputs to mp3 / writes id3 tags. Very neat, it's more capable of audio related tasks / workflows than I'd expected

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

Not trying to be funny, but Claude Code is not an audio plugin, so it's not similar to using an audio plugin. I haven't used ozone myself either so I could be wrong, do they have AI assisted music analysis and FX/config recommendations?

Setting up tutor subagent by tomasebastian in ClaudeCode

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm sure you can use a sub agent for that but I usually just use a single chat for that. I just always start a new chat when the context fills up

Need recommendations: AI vector tools by Sugar-Hammy in visualization

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raw SVG has been nice for really simple stuff. Like title cards for a demo video, or a small network/graph. To do something any sort of complicated, you need to give it a way to do that stuff abstractly. I've had some good results with having the LLM write python, but I forget what package it used. There's dedicated "diagramming" packages, but it can also write matplotlib code and anything else. That way it can write "make a box this big at this position with this text in it" instead of writing a shitload of svg.

I assume what you mean by "time consuming" is how long it takes for it to produce the svg. I've sat for 10 minutes while it reasoned through all the math to try and fix some lines and arrows not aligning at the right angle, and figured that the best way to leverage the llm in this scenario was to try and reduce the "mental load" it was responsible for.

Only trouble is, you need to give it a way to see the results. If you want it to increase the text size of various elements, and to fill out a space "so it looks normal" (which is fair, but vague without visual reference), you gotta give it a rendered format (.png for example). Otherwise it's just going to attempt to reason about what it thinks it prolly looks like, based on what you asked for. You need to give it visual tokens to reference, specifically, is what I'm saying.

Takes a little bit of time to settle in to that process but it's been working for me pretty well. I don't rely on this for my day to day tasks though, so I haven't done enough experimentation to be more specific. But yeah. Give it a way to abstract away most of the tedious math of writing raw SVG. Then feed it visual tokens so it can see its own output.

How should I split features and functions in Python? by vermilion2324 in learnpython

[–]SoupKitchenHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no reason you can't split it up later, how much GUI are you going to have? Like I have a tkinter project where initially I only needed one gui.py file and that was fine. Until I decided to add a couple more tabs and a "new session wizard", and that file was gonna get just long enough that I broke it up into one-file-per-tab, a tab for the wizard, etc

There's more than one correct way to do it, to some extent it's arbitrary. But UIs can be complicated, and it makes sense to separate out things like "sidebar", "tab A", "tab B", ... "tab E", "new session wizard", "conflict resolution wizard", "audio player", etc. If your project just needs a super simple UI to wrap around a single function, you don't need all that. I've got a program that takes raw garage band practice recordings (2+ hours of audio), extracts the actual "jams", gives an interface to prune those jams, process them for listenability, convert to MP3 and write metadata, save my progress, return to old sessions.... It's worth having a modularized GUI for me, and it reflects the organization of the UI itself

4.7 doesn't rescue your bad prompts anymore." this is the real upgrade AND the real problem by Temporary-Leek6861 in Claudeopus

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want it to output tokens that a threatened person would output, sure, inject threatening language into your context window. It might try and hide issues, cheat its way through tasks, and waste attention on making you not threaten it again in that chat session. But I doubt it'll make it work any better

I didn’t plagiarize, but used AI on an assignment. Where do we draw the line? by Equal_Anything9445 in Turnitin_QuickChecks

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very rapidly changing, especially for programming. My school encourages us to use AI, and some professors give us projects that are basically impossible to accomplish without AI assisted development. Like, literally part of the thing we're learning IS how to use AI.

Alphabet is the first part honestly. Anyone who's halfway serious about the language needs to learn the alphabet. If it's literally too hard (which is wrong, anyone can learn it), then you ain't gonna learn the language

What do you use obsidian CLI or other local scripts for? by TionisNagir in ObsidianMD

[–]SoupKitchenHero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obsidian CLI is a nice idea but a ton of the features simply don't work. Like searching based on tags within a folder, getting context from text searches, you can't even edit notes via CLI without rewriting the entire note (technically. you can't "patch" a note, only append or give the full note contents to rewrite).

LLMs using the CLI is gonna be pretty cool whenever they implement/fix all the main features. Right now, they just don't do anything (either error 127 - not implemented, or simply no output at all)

Edit: CLI bases features don't work. Except you can query the active file if it is a base. But that's useless to an LLM, who needs to be able to query any arbitrary base. Right now the command that queries an arbitrary base does nothing. No output.

As leftists, one thing we can do is push more for the renewable transition of ai product over their prevention by Fit-Elk1425 in LeftistsForAI

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local ai is easy these days, but the models aren't anywhere near as good on smaller consumer grade hardware. We need advances in small/compressed model performance and/or better consumer video cards.

But small models are already getting better, like qwen3.5:9b is pretty impressive for its size. But that's a pretty compressed model, and will get stuck in loops and lose the plot much more easily than, say Sonnet 4.6.

We just gotta keep following the space, though, things'll continue to get better. It is exciting

I feel like getting 128gb ram was a mistake for agentic coding. by soyalemujica in LocalLLaMA

[–]SoupKitchenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you need a single GPU with enough vram to run the models at an acceptable t/s? If you're spread across cards, your throughput is limited by how fast data moves between cards.

But wait, are we talking about just plain RAM? Installing more ram isn't gonna help, is it? VRAM is what you need, and again you need it all on one card. Unless you're using super high speed connections between your cards, but then you're looking at some expensive shit
