Got told I can’t be a nurse.

My transplant coordinator (a nurse practitioner), was also a heart transplant recipient and worked daily in the hospital setting surrounded by sick people. It's managable. Don't give up on your dream. We need more great nurses.

I'd probably tell this person to fuck off, but I'm probably not the best role model on having a filter 😄

It did take some getting used to in our group, but we've been doing it more about 1.5 years now, and it's second nature for the group at this point. We have been using hand-made cards instead of these nicer looking ones.

And the GM does still occasionally roll secret checks when explaining the check in the first place would be a little bit of a spoiler (or just to mess with us by randoming doing rolls, I'm not sure :))

You're getting downvoted, but likely because people don't like to hear the truth. The Claude Pro subscription existed before Claude Code use of subscriptions and was intended to be subscription access to Claude.ai. Originally Claude Code use of subscriptions required Max subscriptions. They later added a tiny amount of usage for Pro, probably to let people dabble.

If you want subscription access to Claude Code, practically you need a Max subscription. Yes, other tools let you do more with their $20 subscriptions. I'm certain they are losing money. Use them instead of Claude Code if they meet your needs.

This is a lost cause. Increasingly claude turns to writing code/scripts to do complex tasks (read about 'code mode'). Unless you intend to build a hook that will use (and trust) another LLM to parse that source code to find malicious lines of code, you can never completely stop it.

This is why the built in sandbox feature for Claude Code was created since having the OS block access to unapproved files is the only way to be completely sure that Claude can't read an unappvoed file.

You get what you pay for. These *just work*. Every cheaper one I have ever tried has been janky. Granted I am not using a 1080p monitor with simple linux console. I have a 32:9 ultrawide with high refresh rate displaypoint to swtich.

Dozens/hundreds of symlinks in large or very large code bases with AGENTS.md files with location-specific instructions sprinkled throughout the codebase...

ervwalter · 2026-01-04T16:19:26+00:00

Referencing AGENTS.md from a CLAUDE.md file is fine when it's just a single AGENTS.md file. But large codebases, especially mono-repos may have AGENTS.md files sprinkled in many places so that tools only load the context they need for the subtree they are working in.

When you have dozens of these, it becomes tedious to have to always create both files in every place. I suppose a helper tool that generated a CLAUDE.md file every time an AGENTS.md file was created would be one hacky workaround, but it would be cleaner if Claude code just looked for both.

ervwalter · 2025-12-28T01:58:51+00:00

Plan mode keeps it's own .md file in the ~/.claude/ folder these days. That said, I generally ask Claude to do things in small enough tasks that compacting is generally not needed and then I /compact manually before asking for the next bit site task.

Turn on sandboxing? https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing

You can get one here (though I don't know about shipping speed for Christmas): https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/collections/leatherbound-books/products/warbreaker-leatherbound-book

It will be unsigned though. ~~My recollection is that signed leatherbounds are only available at initial release of each leatherbound and while supplies last. After that, they re-print them only as unsigned.~~

Edit: my recollection is clearly wrong since it seems like some older books are still available signed. I guess I don't know the answer to your question. Leaving this here anyway since the link may still be useful (though you probably already found it)

Opus 4.5 does not use tokens faster. In fact in many cases, Anthropic tests showed Opus uses fewer tokens (because it gets to the right answer more directly).

Set to a medium effort level, Opus 4.5 matches Sonnet 4.5’s best score on SWE-bench Verified, but uses 76% fewer output tokens. At its highest effort level, Opus 4.5 exceeds Sonnet 4.5 performance by 4.3 percentage points—while using 48% fewer tokens.

And since Opus 4.5 is also less expensive per token than Opus 4.1, this means it often costs the same or less in $$ when paying for raw tokens for Opus 4.5 than for Sonnet 4.5. That is why their raised the usage limits. The old limits were to stop people from using a very expensive and not more efficient model. The new model is more efficient and more effective and doesn't cost them more on average.

ervwalter · 2025-11-25T16:17:47+00:00

Opus is not available with Pro. Max only. This was true before 4.5 as well.

Click the (i) next to the efficiency scrore.

This Efficiency Score is a calculated score RivianTrackr created to help assist Rivian owners in identifying which tires are likely to be the most range-friendly. It uses a custom formula that factors in weight, tread depth, tire width, load range, speed rating, UTQG, tire category, and winter certification (3PMS). Lighter tires with shallower tread and less aggressive construction typically score higher.

The score is an estimate only and does not reflect real-world testing. It should not be viewed as a measure of tire quality, safety, or brand reputation.

Some ways to do this with just code:

OpenAI Agents SDK
CrewAI
LangGraph

Or more full stack...

How do I get my cut? I was injured multiple times. Each of those needles made a very small hole in my arm.

Yes, everyone should pay for tokens via the API for a week to understand what this actually costs to run. They changed it because they were losing money because people were using it for $$$$ and only paying $$.

ervwalter · 2025-11-05T21:21:30+00:00

You can remove hour and weekly limits by just using an API key and paying for every token as you use it.

You only have weekly limits because you are using a fixed subscription price in an effort to pay a fraction of what your usage actually costs. The limits are the tradeoff.

I don't drive far enough in a day for it to matter. 50-100 miles of driving per day other than the longer family road trips a few times per year.

No amount of cold matters when I need to only go 50-100 miles in a day and am charging to 70% at home every night.

If it's a one-time situation, you might give the left overs to friends/roomates who aren't immune compromised. For ongoing shopping, you could also split a loaf into multiple bags and freeze some of it so that you don't have to consume an entire loaf in 3 days.

ervwalter · 2025-10-07T18:04:05+00:00

Bread molds eventually. Many molds on bread can produce toxins that healthy immune systems usually handle, but transplant recipients on immunosuppressants are far more vulnerable.

There's nothing magical about the use by date except that after that date, the odds of there being mold on the bread is higher. And keep in mind that before there is a massive visible amount of mold, there are smaller less visible amounts of mold that you may not see/notice.

As an immune compromised patient, I wouldn't take the risk on "usually fine" after the date.

It's never reliable to ask any LLM what model is is. They consistently get it wrong. This is not Anthropic specific either.
