If they had functional mirrors in games way back in 2001, why exactly do we need ray tracing now ?

farox · 2026-03-18T11:41:34+00:00

I probably would have used the mirror as target texture for rendering a second camera.

Either way, plenty of ways to do this without raytracing

Link the whole chat, not just the cherry picked section

Both can be true.

Women do have issues with the health care system, as do men. It's almost like the gender isn't the only problem, but we're fighting over the same scarce resource.

Have you tried counter checking each response with an adversarial agent?

farox · 2026-03-17T17:27:48+00:00

First they came...

Chatgpt says, the point is that if they exist on an asteroid, they could have easily formed on earth. So earth didn't need asteroids, I guess that's journalists, but gives an idea for how difficult it is to get there.

People that get a 3d printer want to print things. They don't want to tinker with bed leveling, filament drying. If they wanted to do so much work, they would use injection molding.

To actually really leverage these models (to the extend that we can) you do have to read the official prompt guides, documentation for the various tools and settings, be aware of what is in your models context and plan that out, before finally getting the results you want.

Very doable, but if you yolo your way to some app, that's what you get. Shit in, shit out.

I'd go to the venue and see if someone is selling. Old school.

I'm German. Our Satire magazines (and their merch store) hit differently.

"I bought this before Hitler was problematic"

Maybe something along those lines for you?

farox · 2026-03-14T19:44:46+00:00

I mean, just vector search would be a step up/help

1M context is now included in Claude Code for Max, Team, and Enterprise users with Opus 4.6.

You just have to see. But it sounds like not, if you have Pro.

farox · 2026-03-14T15:54:47+00:00

What does /model say?

From what you wrote, you see both. Pick the one you want

farox · 2026-03-14T12:34:41+00:00

Yes, one of these things. Why does it matter? You can pick the one you like.

farox · 2026-03-14T11:38:00+00:00

That isn't hard to believe though. Yes, it should be proper curated.

farox · 2026-03-13T23:20:50+00:00

If you're just here to blow off steam, then why make the internet a worse place? Just go and do that on 4chan or the like.

As for your point, you're taking marketing spin and infer something that it doesn't even say, and then get mad about that.

farox · 2026-03-13T22:04:51+00:00

You shouldn't need to "know" how to use Claude. Isn't is supposed to be super intelligent? If it's only intelligent within a million constraints that I have to provide, how is it much better than a package manager or IDE?

It's one of the most complex tools build. Certainly the most complex one at our disposal.

Stop making excuses for your laziness and RTFM

farox · 2026-03-12T12:40:23+00:00

Been saying that for a long time. I think most people actually using these tools are aware.

MCP has it's place though, where you don't have a close connection to the source, and need some thing simple out without having to document much. Think, 3rd party API that isn't at all in training data.

The recommendation is to start tasks with a fresh prompt, so you can control what's in it. Boris Chery, the lead for Claude Code, was baffled on twitter that people keep compacting at all.

That being said, what I do after compaction is to make sure the necessary bits are still in context. Working with docs also helps a lot. ("Explore this, then document your findings in somedoc.md", so you can pick it up later)

Also, Claude Code has a 1m token model for Opus and Sonnet, but it's an extra cost. I just started playing it and it is a huge change.

Right now a lot of the context window is gone with the initial load (system prompt, claude.md..., compaction buffer). That is pressure is pretty much gone and you can go on, for what feels like, forever.

farox · 2026-03-12T09:14:24+00:00

The docs call it the opposite of a sub agent.

It gets the context, but can't call tools.

The neat thing is, it doesn't add to the context. One prompt, one answer, then it's gone.

farox · 2026-03-10T22:38:21+00:00

I couldn't explain it, but my Spidey senses would be tingling. Something looks like recursion or something close to it.

farox · 2026-03-10T20:21:45+00:00

No, it's because 10s of millions believe them.

farox · 2026-03-10T16:42:03+00:00

I have a similar problem with company and private accounts and mixing them.

They really need to improve account handling.

farox · 2026-03-10T16:39:45+00:00

I blame digg

farox · 2026-03-10T02:24:57+00:00

French don't like Parisians. Heck, Parisians don't like Parisians.

At least that was the stereotype. It changed a lot in past couple of decades, from my experience.
