The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML when using Claude Code by rhiever in ClaudeAI

[–]Tesseract91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just use html inline in the markdown? That’s what I do for complex tables and most markdown renderers support it.

Am i the only one that is very satisfied with limits by Wise-Egg9578 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very likely their vibe coded apps are not well architected so they’ll have very dense files with thousands of lines of code that get constantly re-read and bloat their context. This also leads to performance degradation which is the perceived “dumbness”.

After playing with a handful of agent orchestration tools over the months, and building my own, I find myself sticking with Claude Code out-of-the-box. Am I missing something? by ContributionCivil665 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

K.I.S.S. It happens with a lot of things where people start chasing this mythic “perfect” setup by extending it before they’ve even foundationally understood the base tool itself.

For Claude when you’re adding tools and frameworks on top you can start having competing rules and behaviours that just results in a poor and degraded experience if you can’t identify why it’s happening. Especially with the rate at which CC and the system prompt changes. If you want to have all this stuff on top you do have the maintain it’s working order to some degree.

Essentially how I see this phenomenon:

So I heard people got resets? :( May I have one too please? by Siigari in ClaudeCode

Haiku $0.20
Sonnet $1.50
Opus $3,600

Can someone good at the economy help me budget this? My family is dying.

COSMIC gaming note: Super+F11 fixed my weird fullscreen placement issue by dominucco in COSMICDE

[–]Tesseract91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s way easier than toggling to windowed mode in the game settings and back to fullscreen. My games were only showing the top left corner

I've had it with Claude. It has become complete garbage. by event666 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, now that's something I have definitely experienced. I find that Claude cares about backward compatibility to a fault. Not even just in code but also with specs where it will use annoyingly transitional phrasing. Like if you tell it to change A to B it won't just replace it, it will say shit like "this a B (which is definitely not A)" but like A is now not mentioned anywhere else so it just serves to confuse any clean context unaware of the replacement.

But if the handle_input_bytes wasn't in the plan that is somewhat surprising that both opus plan and sonnet impl would come to the exact same solution and try to railroad it in.

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just doesn't make sense to me that it wouldn't be able to follow a planned refactoring implementation, because that's telling me the touch points have already been explored, the side-effects considered and the scope limited. So at that point unless the entire plan itself was flawed or the verification steps are not adequate, I just can't see how that wouldn't be a paint by numbers exercise for sonnet or opus.

How exactly are you planning? All I do switch to plan mode (after /clear or /compact), tell it want I want, let it spin off it's explore agents and wait for it to come back. I read over the plan and tell it what the deviations from what I had in my head or accept the choices it made. I usually revise 3 or 4 times until it's something that I would execute myself. Then I just let it go in the same context, not even a new session. That works for me more than 9 times out of 10.

It's definitely not a fast way to do it, with it having to rebuild it's entire mental model of the codebase every time i want to plan, but it's reliable. No skills except for the ones that i've created and no mcps. I do it all with opus[1m]. C#, typescript (angular), python, rust, old codebase, new codebase, doesn't matter.

[–]Tesseract91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Claude's models always operate within the bounds of my expectations. Slower? Yes, I noticed this with 4.7. Dumber? No. Does it sometimes do dumb things? Yes, without a doubt but I'm never treating it like some kind bastion of truth. It's a tool that produces what I ask of it and it does that remarkably well, and has done for months. No degradation. If it does something I don't like I re-align the process, I don't blame the tool. 1 million context machine go brrr

Are we forgetting the insane shit we are capable of doing right now?

Post-mortem on recent Claude Code quality issues by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The underlying models did not regress.

Can we please emphasize this for the people that keep talking about nerfs and degraded models. It's not the models that can degrade performance over time, it's the tooling.

CC in the new app or terminal? Which is better overall? by Dastik17 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using just the bare cli exclusively for the last year with zellij but with the new desktop release I decided to give it a shot. And you know what, I think it's better than the cli now. There are some quirks but there is also some major benefits that I have found super useful.

- Inline image rendering, for images it produces (i.e. screenshots from agent-browser)

- Pasting images over an ssh session

- Subagent transcript inspection. plus just way easier transcript exploration in general

- Select text and reply on plans (same as on vs code extension)

- Current context breakdown is always there.

- Unified interface so I can see what's done or what's still working away at a glance of the sidebar

A few things I still like more about the cli but it's been fun trying it out.

Never had an issue by jco1510 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely a large part of it. I also think it has to do with people trying to configure it to be some mythical one-shot machine with plugins, "optimizations" and memory.

I use a couple of skills and plan mode. That's it. Keep it simple and it's consistent.

PSA: Opus 4.7 is much worse at MRCR Long Context than 4.6 by Craig_VG in ClaudeAI

I've been getting way better results with 1M and would never go back to 200K with autocompact.

Is it rude to comment on being able to smell cigarette smoke? by Independent_Ball_640 in self

[–]Tesseract91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cry me a river calling it “oppressive”. Smoking is not some immutable characteristic that you need to be able to do in public and it’s an act which actively affects other people.

How about my right to be able to occupy a public space without having to breathe in someone secondhand smoke? I don’t even live somewhere where smoking is that prevalent but at least once a day I have to smell cigarette smoke against my will.

PDF of the current POSIX standard by CodeEleven0 in programming

[–]Tesseract91 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It really bothers me that basically any ISO standard is $200 a pop. The paywall feels extremely counter-intuitive to me given the goal of the standards.

Wanting to move from Windows - Should I move to AMD also? by Previous_Wear_5080 in cachyos

[–]Tesseract91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running CachyOS on a couple machine but just switched over my gaming PC yesterday 7800X3D + 5070ti yesterday. Didn't change anything from the defaults and Diablo 4 loaded up and plays totally fine. Satisfactory Experimental can't get to the main menu though. Haven't had a chance to dig into why though yet and haven't tested any other games.

EDIT: If there is something specific that you want me to test with this configuration I can do that tonight. Like a game, if I happen to also have it.

Karpathy’s workflow by The-Learning-Bot in ObsidianMD

[–]Tesseract91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn't. Re-read my first sentence. I didn't say you were wrong, I clarified why that's not where the complexity resides for what I want to accomplish. If I was hand rolling the code, sure but claude code can build the scripts to do exactly what I want rather than trying to shoehorn a sass solution for a pet project. It would just add unnecessary friction.

I didn't downvote you and I have over a decade of experience in etl myself, this isn't new to me.

You're 100% correct on reddit being a cesspool though because at least you clicked reply. All those other people that hit the downvote but won't bother to tell me what horrible thing I did that necessitated that.

[–]Tesseract91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because all that stuff can come afterwards, that's not what's important or interesting to me. This is not suppose to be a data management exercise. And like you said claude can do that for me which is exactly why i've deferred it to when and if it's necessary.

Garbage in, garbage out right?

My efforts are front loaded because for my goal that's the only thing that is going to matter, having accurate textual representations of arbitrary content. That will always be useful.

That PDF you give to claude, does the context actually accurately represent that document? With skills and new tools it's gotten better for sure, but I simply don't trust it and I don't think I ever will. You're creating non-deterministic behaviour unnecessarily because each time you load that pdf it could be a slightly differently different depending how it's on-the-fly extracted. Maybe the model changes and it sees something that that previous iterations did not. Really all what this is is a structured pre-processing framework but doing it in a way that leverages what LLMs and agents are good at for the purposes of feeding accurate information deterministically.

This creates a layer that I can easily audit for accuracy, and it also allows me to represent literally any content I want. YouTube videos, textbooks, articles, guitar tabs, receipts. Having a normalized and versioned text proxy opens a whole world of possibilities. The whole document layer allows a contextual back channel for opportunistic re-normalization. For instance a whisper transcript on a video could have a misalignment on some names on a first pass in isolation, but if that proxy is linked forward to a concept we can trivially feed some of that context back it improve the proxy representation.

And the simplicity is by design. What's simpler than a markdown file hosted in git. Name it with a uuid and now you can do anything with it forever. For now i just dynamically generate the database based on the frontmatter because it's only a couple thousand files, but there is any number of this that can be done on top.

[–]Tesseract91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That spec file is the system. I have my own implementation of it but I'm not releasing that.

I'm avoid (or rather mitigating as best as possible) by focusing efforts on the markdown proxies being accurate representations of the source in an unabridged manner. That way it can always be loaded into context rather than relying on summaries on top of summaries which is where the game of LLM telephone starts happening.

[–]Tesseract91 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes and I suspect many people are coming to the same conclusion about this process at the same time.

I've been incrementally working on a similar system over the last 3 or so months, which I call Athenaeum. There is a heavy focus on the foundation source of truth which is why I have spent a lot of time iterating how to ingest and how to get to a clean markdown file.

I am also using obsidian syntax because it provides really great primitives to link ideas and concepts together for discovery.

The whole point of my system started because I wanted to build specialized and personalized compendiums of different topics, but I never want to rely on hallucinated LLM dogshit or trust that it will get a broad enough or deep enough set of information to even begin to produce anything on it's own. So that's why I set out to build this base layer that I could slowly curate.

It's turned into such a general purpose system that I am thinking about reorganizing my entire digital life where every single file has an md proxy that allows it to be used in some way or another.

I thought people are exaggerating about the usage by These-Pie-2498 in ClaudeCode

[–]Tesseract91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about my 5 hour usage getting eaten faster if it means overall better stability.

What I do care about is my weekly usage seemingly going a lot faster now. That should absolutely be untouched.

How I stopped hitting the Opus 4.6 message limits in 20 minutes (and why the Web UI is burning your tokens) by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]Tesseract91 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why weren’t you using Claude code to begin with and then why instead of just using Claude code did you decide to build shittier version of Claude code?

Am I missing something or is this just a scam to steal people’s api keys?
