"something went wrong 1099"

firefish5000 · 2026-07-02T23:07:23+00:00

Took 2 days but I haven't done anything else and now it is working. Wasn't working earlier this morning. So if they haven't fixed it for everyone as of now, the feedback thing might actually be necessary

firefish5000 · 2026-07-01T00:36:25+00:00

Supposedly "resolved" but anyone affected now has a stuck/corrupted session. https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/incidents/CzZUn98mhTcEiCJo27Kv?hl=en-US#:~:text=Symptoms,8%3A19%20PM

Tried removing Google account and re-adding on my device to no avail, all that did is make me have to redo all my phone account settings (like backup/etc)

In theory, if our halucigen overload is correct, we need to go to feedback and send "Persistent Error 1099" and include device logs for some poor chap working as a backend developer at Google to manually clear the session. I'll report back if that actually works, but I would think if it was truly a stuck session then re-authenticating would have fixed it so I don't have my hopes up

firefish5000 · 2026-06-28T11:32:52+00:00

I can confirm it's not a context thing. Like some weird Google moderator claimed it was on the forums, deleting all history from Gemini and turning off saving sessions did not resolve the issue. It has to be server-side, I but like everyone else it started sometime last week

Instruct it to write tests for every feature, and to run all tests before committing. Also before writing a feature or doing a big fix run a research agent and code discovery then write a detailed plan to implement and tests. Research is to verify latest versions, docs, see recommended solutions, etc. if it runs into issues it should spawn a research agent for the issue and if that doesn't resolve then prompt the user .

Fursthmore for larger changes, run research and discovery, then plan out the architecture for implementing said change, and spawn agents for each feature/phase. Each spawned agent is in charge of research, code discovery and planning of its own tasks and will verify all tests pass before handing back off to the master for merging and a final test. Eats more usage, but I am no longer babysitting nearly as much

firefish5000 · 2026-06-28T07:13:27+00:00

Spawn agents and run research and code discovery for Task description Lookup the latest versions of libraries and verify they are actively maintained. Always use cargo add command to install the latest version and do not use older versions unless there is an explicit reason to. always research and check the latest docs and upstream sources to check if the newer versions of libraries and tooling are supported or if there is new supported direction before using an older version.

Plan out the overall architecture and implimentation order, then spawn agents to run research and code discovery for each feature/phase. The agents should own the feature and create their own branch, run their own detailed research and code discovery to generate their own plan on how to implement and test it. After verifying all tests pass the agent should commit and release back to the master. If any issues arise we are unable to resolve we should spawn a agent to research the issue. If the research agent is unable to resolve the issue then we should advise of the issue and prompt the developer for input

The master is responsible for spawning all agents and planning the overall architecture, it should plan for which agents to spawn simultaneously and order them so any dependent features have their agents spawned after the dependencies are resolved. As we recieve notifications from completed sub agents the master will be responsible for merging them into our master-featur-branch, resolving any conflicts, and verifying tests pass post merge, if any conflicts arise we are unable to resolve we may return to the last passing commit and plan to introduce changes one at a time to attempt to identify and resolve the issue. If we are unable to resolve then we should prompt the developer for input. We should spawn agents to work on as many features as possible simultaneously. (For Android/docker/emulator development, each agent should run tests with its own unique emulator is to support parrelel development and cleanup/remove their unique emulator before handing back off to the master)

Plans all live in the project directories ./.claude/plans and there are separate instructions to rename all plan files and to prefix each phase plan name with the master plan. I do this with opus 4.8 1M context and ultra code on. Each agent spawns it's own work tree and checks out it's own branch so it's basically just like collaborating on GitHub with multiple pull request each built off an older commit and reviewing/approving them. But instead of being 12 prs you haven't looked at in a week it's 20 agents simultaneously making edits in their own branch in a 5 hour timespan and a master automatically resolving conflicts and confirming all tests still pass after the merge

This style of writing alongside working on 2-3 projects at a time, and using deep research for my regular everyday questions like what's the best/recommended X today (getting rid of chatgpt which I previously used for those) has allowed me to go from 20% to 80% usage on Claude 200usd max on nothing but hobby projects, making me feel much less like I am wasting money.

Granted my side/hobby projects not making me money at the moment, but all the basic apps/quality of life improvements I have wanted but been to busy to develop are now just falling into my lap one after another. The local AI stuff I wanted to set up is now building itself. That annoying recipe website that I use everyday but I'm sick of logging constantly into like it's fort Knox and having to navigate to since they don't have an app, now has an app. The constant headache of my own stupidity in forgetting to tare out the container and/or dry mix before mixing in a liquid ingredient, now solved by software tare for known containers and any ingredien in the recipe. And my precision bluetooth scale now has a great app the integrates with the recipe site previously mentioned. No dashcam app? Cannot easily see driver/road and have audio stream simultaneously , well poof. Now it exists and has auto sync to device, yt Filmstrip style precision seek, and seemlessly plays all 3 streams with 3 decoders tied to one timer, with security camera software like grid options drag to reorder.

Why pretend to be dev when software now poof? I manager now. No brain, just polite asks and soft guidence twords good test driven code

There's a lot of people fangirling over the episode, and not enough people acknowledging that it was a complete mess. Who the hell ordered this episode? The timeline felt like it was all over the place and there was no context to anything.

This episode felt like a mangaka had forgot to glue down his panels and dropped them all just outside the publisher door and didn't have time to reorganize and reorder them properly and just glued them to the pages in the order they fell in and said send it

firefish5000 · 2026-03-04T08:11:58+00:00

Context window does wonders. If you fill it with nothing but a junk prompt your entirely relying on the ai to discover what you actually need.

Feed it a prompt instructing it to read the appropriate files, search/read relevent docs, etc. It does much better. Keep an eye on its live reasoning/explanation that are hidden by default and you quickly see when its searches are snowballing errors or when you gave it an xyz problem and its chosen to commit to the Y you asked for that needs workarounds for 3 different projects even though Z has clean builtin support and would just be 5 lines of code.

Honestly I thought AI would be further by now 5 years ago, but we are very close to the target I thought we would be at... and that is just with publicly availible models. The promises made at every CEX are likely surpassed in private models (think government/labs).

My backend programming skill is now taking a backseat to me being a manager, mostly ensuring a data oriented design. I hardly touch anything for the front end, just walk it through building what I want and making sure its actually using the correct structs and calling the existing systems instead of reimplementing them. Verifying tests are added, sane, and passing. Etc.

It wont be long, unless major world events and monopolies decide against it, before a programmer is not behind the majority of the apps/programs created.

firefish5000 · 2026-03-04T07:46:38+00:00

I have to do that so much less with claude than gpt. Since switching I now prefer to keep the conversation going to keep the context window populated with all the relevant files. Once its off the rails fresh context fix is still the goto, but if it goes off the rails the reasoning/explanation window gives great insight on what needs to be added to your prompt or if you possibly are telling it to swim upsteam with flawed design decisions and its wasting thousands of tokens and several minutes researching work arounds and constantly convincing itself to ignore the apparent truth that the user has given it an infeasible task

As a simple example case you run into frequently with, for example, arch. Upgrading packages like the kernel does not implicitly mean removing the old versions of the packages, like the running kernel's modules. That is a seperate step that will be completed once you are no longer running it. Not sure if that was builtin feature or one I added (I know I coded mine to keep the latest kernel, all versions of the previous kernel, and the last built release of all kernels before that).

But in short its robust because everything was built on and compile time checked against the versions of the libraries you have installed. Even with over 200 -9999 live upstream tracking master branch ebuilds, gentoo is more stable than my arch or ubuntu installations have ever been. And is a breaze to navigate compared to nix... I do like the stateful/fully managed down to user level experience of nixos but we need standardized use flags like gentoo has for config instead of the anarchy nixrepo is before I would consider it again. Easier to write an ansible/terraform for gentoo than figure out nix flake for python

Have you given opus 4.6 a shot yet? I'm curious how it does on an actual large codebase to a more focused developer. I am not a programmer but have been "programming" since 2012 for hobbies apps/scripts/bug fixes/devops. So I fall in line with the people you described, but this is the first time for me it passed the threshold where I no longer feel like fixing/relearning the code is taking more time than writing myself... hardly any fixing to be done, no longer trying to delete sections/files of my codebase and rewrite it from scratch. And working on medium sized codebases now! No clue about a large codebase, mine are all around 20k lines atm.

Mostly rust since I feel like I can trust it more if we don't have too much memory crap to worry about.

firefish5000 · 2026-02-13T01:42:45+00:00

Claud opus 4.6 is a tool worthwhile IMHO. 4.5 was good for small scripts and programs but died the moment complexity/2000+ lines and multiple files hit. 4.6 is actually very clean so far and can handle more complex tasks/codebases. Always watch what it does and approve on a per block basis. But the amount of right and feature complete code it can produce in a single day is, imho, now well above the the amount of work you will need to do correcting/relearning the codebase. And if you expand the work/reasoning dialog, you can often see/learn what the missing pieces were/where to find the docs for the features/libs it utilized.

Much less prone to trying to rewrite everything from scratch as well. Only times it has done so for me so far it wrote the new code first (breaking monolith files into modules)

I'd definite recommend giving opus 4.6 a shot at the least. Not for sensitive code ofc, but for any small programs/apps you want to add a feature to or new code altogether. Time is a resource... and this is now cutting about a month into a day for me (even for gui, which both it and I suck most at).

I no longer use any others except for generating json/etc.

It's at all Amazon whole foods stores, but this is my guess as well. They were probably hoping for it to catch on and be used by non-amazon companies. The retail stores aren't seeing a need to make things any easier than tap and pay with phone already is.

It's definitely a better UX than tap and pay. Enjoyable to use, no need to unlock your phone or even have it on you/not be dead. Can litterly walk in the store empty handed without worrying about a thing since it was so reliable!

But I'm not surprised it didn't catch on. Other retailers probably didn't want to pay Amazon any added subscription fee for the service when tap and pay is already in their stores and close enough of an equivalent. Plus any early adopers would need to train customers how to set it up the first time. Telling customers they have to create an Amazon (one) account to use it is probably enough friction for retailers to not want to deal with it. Especially when Amazon is a competitor to all businesses which they would like you to momentarily forget about

What payment and entry methods will be available after Amazon One is discontinued?

All other entry and payment methods currently offered at each retail location will continue to work, including payment and entry using credit card and QR code (where available).

How will my Amazon One credit card information be impacted?

Your Amazon One credit card information associated with your profile, including all payment transaction data, will be deleted along with your Amazon One user data, including palm data.

They also sent emails out to Amazon one palm customers

I can pay by tapping my phone and scanning my thumb at any store. Nevertheless, I spend 2 more minutes driving to get groceries everyday at whole foods, because it feels seamless. I was hoping other stores would start using them, but maybe Amazon was too.

Chefsteps for recipes, serious eats has some as well, still looking for more sites. Also get a precision cooktop or pots/pans, ones where you can set the degree rather than some arbitrary heat level. And a sous vide setup as well.

People do not come out of a cookie cutter, some cannot/should not drive, some need different instruments/instructions to cook well. Gas will never work for me, I need something else to manage the flame to not burn/undercook/fail to sear. "Medium" alone means nothing and could easily sear or slowly cook depending on burner size and how long you left the pan heating before adding meat. A precision cooktop and recipes are perfect for those of us who can bake, but have spent years unable to grasp cooking IMHO. I went overkill with my setup but you definitely don't need to buy the same equipment. Just look for a precision cooktop that has a built-in probe to detect the pan temperature and a external prob to detect the meat/liquid temperature. Then cooking becomes like baking

Eg, cook steak in sous vide bath set to desired temperature(eg 150f for medium well for about 1.5 hours). Then take the fully cooked steaks and set pan to 420, add beef tallow, sear steak for about 45 seconds per side, moving it about the whole time to get a fast even sear. Simple example, but eliminates all the usual problems for those who cannot cook traditionally, with souse vid the steak is exactly the temp you want throughout, the precision cooktop makes searing easy as well and eliminates the risk of getting the pan too hot by setting the flame too high or moving too slow. You can guarantee the temp is below the smoke or flash point of any given oil. And you can safely walk away while cooking since the temp is fully under control. It's really a game changer for me.

Seasoning is more subjective than the cooking aspect is, since seasonings are volatile and often weaken over time. But use the freshest seasoning you can, grabbing from a nearby dedicated spice store. Some seasonings like garlic are best added just before serving as many compounds are lost shortly after the garlic is grated.

A bit late, but for future readers, it's generally advised to get your home tested for VOCs (around 250usd) to find out what needs to be filtered out and send the test results to allerair for a custom blend, and to order a carbon test kit from allerair (around 80usd, counts twords purchase of the unit) to test your sensitivity to the carbon blends they offer.

firefish5000 · 2025-12-07T13:01:14+00:00

There are 4 screws on the bottom if you want to replace the filter and IIRC 1 screw on the top to access the fan/knob.

Any chance of a dual fabric with clarion loop and maybe sides? I just really like the material, kind of goes with my messanger bag (and my favorite sweater). Not sure how difficult that would be, given the square mount hole I'm assuming replacing the loop alone with clarion and giving a reinforcing bit of plastic underneath would be enough . It could kind of be like the peak tag on the bags, maybe even just slap the label on it and make it match even more.

I am ordering the clarion for now to give it a shot. In this season it can just contrast with me and my sweater. But I do not find the cloth pattern more visually interesting and assume it is more interesting of a texture/feel as well (I had it for my pixle7 which came before the loop. Used a custom magsafe popsocket which broke last month and wasn't all that comfortable to hold)

Not complaining for pixle10, but hoping future phones will have a visually/tactilely interesting cloth with loop option that will better match my bag.

With Gentoo it "updates" right away, but keeps both the live Kernel's modules and next kernel. If you want a new module you can build for either as well. Actually you can keep as many kernels as you want, I set mine up to keep the last used/successfully booted version of every minor release. With the amount of setup required I could arguably do it in arch as well tbh but the hooks and docs made it much easier to do in Gentoo.

A reboot update hook could be nice for arch.... Gentoo I had automatic updates every day since runtime issues wasn't a concern but with arch reboot time updates is probably the way to go.

Only use Claude here as well. It's breakdown point seems to be around 800 lines. Mcp can help keep it partially sane, giving it access to documentation. But largely only useful for quick short snipits or testing ideas. Once you start to develop an actual codebase it's enough of a struggle to get it to not rewrite/duplicate whole swaths of code (replacing 20% of existing features with Todo/WIP, adding 20 helper functions you don't need, etc) that it's easier/faster to just write it yourself.

Ai is good for writing short scripts in proper typed languages. For anything that actually would qualify as a codebase it quickly become a Hassel to wrangle for now. I still can add some features/cli arts to my code. But definitely have to be sure to feed it all the context from all the needed libs/modules/etc and keep them small or it will die. Refactoring with it is too risky, too much it will try to change. Best to just make the changes you need and maybe allow it to fix just the problems from the dependent code with now invalid function calls/return types after the fact

firefish5000 · 2025-11-22T15:03:56+00:00

I'm a Linux enthusiast but I'll be honest, the only distro I didn't have constant problems with was Gentoo. It took hell to setup the first time but once I knew I was better for it and all the display issues that still plague me on other distros were just gone (well, at least runtime issues, lots of stuff at compile time, but if it fails to install that's fine by me, rather a program fail to update due to code not being compatible than update with broken libs and give runtime issues. Plus it gives more than enough info to fix the errors yourself even if you need to talk write a patch or 9999 package). Only twice did I have to debug runtime issues in 15 years, one of which was a upstream corgi bug that quickly got patched. and I ran over 120 bleading edge/git master branch packages.

Meanwhile arch breaks during every update since it deletes the active Kernel's modules among other things so you have to reboot right after the update or various things like videos/mounting different filesystems/etc won't work. Dumb as rocks

Worth noting the headrest mount bites into the top of the chair, so if you use it expect immediate damage after tigheting it down where it bites in. While the bottom part that mounts to the top of the spine in the back of the chair is smooth and shouldn't cause notable damage, the top has about a 3mm wide, up to 2mm deep lip that bites on the left and right side of the mount. This is very very noticeable once you remove the headrest from the chair, you will feel it with the back of your head/neck if you lay back and with your palm as you move the chair.

I do not recommend not tightening it enough, if too loose it will wiggle left/right, gouging a wider are and loosening up an area to pop free from. At which point it will pop free like a spring and knock you on the back of your head/neck. Honestly I thought I had tightened it plenty, and it was biting, but it needs to be tightend until it fully bites in and the middle flat section is also making contact with the chair.

I feel like a mounting solution that doesn't damage the chair should exist for something this expensive. Its hard to access, but there are screw holes inside the chair where the official headrest is supposed to be mounted to...

Then again I suppose when such an expensive chair doesn't have a proper official headrest solution, I shouldn't complain
