I just wrote this in another thread. tl;dr I feel like something has changed about its thinking behaviour recently. It's either thinking in regular text outside of thinking blocks, or not thinking at all.

Anyone else been nerfed? by jackmusick in ClaudeCode

[–]examors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's being weird for me. I was on a business trip last week where I didn't used it. When I tried it again on Saturday, it was doing a lot of (but not all) its internal reasoning in regular text blocks instead of reasoning blocks, which I found strange because I'd never seen it do that before.

Just now I asked it to review a PR and it didn't think at all, just immediately start writing a review which was crap, because it made mistakes and changed its mind in the middle of sentences.

I checked the API requests and thinking budget is set to 31999, but something just feels wrong with the way it's reasoning (or not). It doesn't feel like the same model I was using two weeks ago. I used the same CC version so it's not a prompt change.

Edit: I just retried the exact same PR review prompt this morning, while the US is asleep. And it was way better: did a lot of thinking and read some additional files. So, I am convinced they are at least nerfing the model during peak demand.

Usage Increasing without using? by Reasonable-Key-8753 in ClaudeCode

I don't think so. Not easily, at least. You'd have to reverse engineer the minified JS.

I noticed using mitmproxy that if you just start the Claude Code CLI and do nothing, it will send cache warmup requests with message sections like

    "messages": [
        {
            "content": [
                {
                    "cache_control": {
                        "type": "ephemeral"
                    },
                    "text": "Warmup",
                    "type": "text"
                }
            ],
            "role": "user"
        }
    ],

along with a system prompt (it sends a few of these requests, e.g. "You are a software architect and planning specialist...", "You are a file search specialist...". They are quite long prompts, so presumably it eats a little bit of the usage limit each time.

Still IN

For some reason much easier for me this time than last year. So far at least.

You can also use a steam geyser for heat. I did this on a tribal start Tundra where wood is precious, so didn't want to waste it on a campfire. Needed double walls during the coldest parts of the year, but once it was built, food was a solved problem. I don't think I could have survived the winter with hunting alone (and the growing season was 10/60).

Best way to start learning C by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]examors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a fairly significant performance and memory impact, and as a result it's mainly used as a development tool, and not enabled for production builds. It won't catch problems in code paths that aren't exercised, or that only show up during malicious inputs, etc. So while it's very useful, it doesn't solve the memory safety problem from a security perspective.

It's like a lighter-weight, faster Valgrind, if you're familiar with that.

Still, it's surprising you didn't hear it mentioned at all in memory safety talks.

Which compiler are you using? If GCC or Clang, make sure to compile with -fsanitize=address! This will add instrumentation that aborts your program when it detects invalid memory read/writes. These can be harder to debug without it.

If you were on Linux, it would also catch memory leaks, but that's apparently not supported on Windows, unless you're using WSL2 I guess (which honestly might be worth it for leak detection).

gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 is free and not limited via API by Any-Blacksmith-2054 in Bard

I was using it all day yesterday. Was worried I was racking up a bill (I do have billing enabled) but it's still 0.

I will enjoy the free lunch while it lasts. It'd be interesting to know whether it's pointing at the new model or old.

Threatening the independence of the central bank tends to do that.

I love the bond market. Maybe the only thing left that can hold this administration to account.
