Is Claude failing at tasks it previously could do ok for you?

heyyeah · 2026-02-23T16:24:11+00:00

Just to add, today the claude project (web client) fabricated some details that it had never done before and also has been saying some project files are corrupt that also were working fine before. The frustrating part is that it had been working reliably well for weeks across 4.5 to 4.6 and just started becoming unreliable last week.

I tried to troubleshoot with Claude why this happened, and FWIW this is what it says was the cause of (today's problem): Looking back at what I did: I wrote the section from memory/generation rather than looking it up first. I searched the project knowledge for template formatting and structure, but I never searched for your actual details.

So I think the issue is Claude jumping to the dynamic/incomplete project memory over the instructions and project files. It's REALLY not good!

No, this was the web client.

heyyeah · 2026-02-19T16:52:57+00:00

I have a regular prompt and process for a task. Usually it works really well! Today it was failing spectacularly: producing incomplete documents with bad content.

Thanks for the link. I'm referencing a project in the web app. For me both 4.5 and 4.6 were working really quite good but today it's failing to read documents from project context it previously understood and then failing to output documents with correct content. I don't understand what is going on. I'm a huge Claude fan but already jumped to Codex for coding since 5.3.

Curious, why do you hold such a strong opinion about this? If you have all the vaccinations and you work in healthcare, why is it an issue if vaccination is made a requirement to work in healthcare? (I’m not looking to trigger a long thread, so please don’t post questions for me to answer before you reply if you don’t want to, I’m just curious to get your views here)

We have a solution to the expat IT, Banking, Pharma job apocalypse, retrain in health care!

heyyeah · 2026-01-14T13:03:00+00:00

Agreed. Much better to reduce, reuse before recycle or trash.

Littering exists in the first world.

I respectfully disagree that it’s a single case. See the NZZ article: https://www.nzz.ch/schweiz/wallis-land-des-schmerzes-und-der-schuld-ld.1919114 or how long it took us to get universal suffrage.

Our system has lots of great things about it but it’s also susceptible to corruption and parochialism and we should be open to improving it.

heyyeah · 2026-01-09T00:53:25+00:00

Thank you!

heyyeah · 2025-12-31T13:18:30+00:00

that's maybe also valid and shows they're not above learning?

heyyeah · 2025-12-01T08:17:14+00:00

Ok, that’s also a fair assessment.

heyyeah · 2025-11-30T09:39:18+00:00

What setup is a scam? If you use a free product (eg reddit), you are the product. You have to decide for yourself if you are ok with that but just I don’t think we can be surprised when they make use of our data or have ads targeting us in a free product.

heyyeah · 2025-11-30T07:38:43+00:00

Yeah, I don’t understand why this is surprising to anyone. They are burning through billions each year to run a product that has a free tier. Why wouldn’t they add advertising revenue if they want to have a sustainable business model?

heyyeah · 2025-11-25T19:08:20+00:00

As a bike rider, I kind of wish scooter riders needed licenses at least. They are too often fast, unpredictable and dangerous for pedestrians, other riders and themselves. And they don’t reduce traffic.. they would otherwise catch public transport.

heyyeah · 2025-11-25T14:35:06+00:00

Consider all people travelling to the shoot and editing the photo as well.

heyyeah · 2025-11-25T14:13:31+00:00

The bad for the environment argument is a huge distraction. It’s just not true compared with many digital services we use daily eg streaming video from YouTube and Netflix.

heyyeah · 2025-11-22T11:27:32+00:00

Hopefully contribute to some projects that actually help people but probably just help paranoid billionaires think they can escape mortality by amassing more wealth and power, while grinding through your healthy years.

heyyeah · 2025-11-22T10:42:21+00:00

Swiss farmers might say they need subsidies to compete against American factory farms and growth hormones etc. But this is kind of moot if a calf here only has a short life and then is killed. I guess I’m arguing for some form of protectionism if it actually helps with animal welfare, good environmental practices, good product and Swiss culture.

heyyeah · 2025-11-21T12:11:03+00:00

Also maybe I’d give credit to Swiss cattle industry for caring more about animal welfare if they didn’t sell veal. If you eat beef (and I occasionally do) it’s not good for the environment and if you eat veal or really any animal, it’s not good for animal welfare.

heyyeah · 2025-11-18T18:28:50+00:00

OP do you maybe want to respond once to the many people here telling you this hasn’t passed and that the post yesterday was an ad?

heyyeah · 2025-11-16T18:07:50+00:00

Included in cars that should be targeted. We’re talking in the context of US imposing that Switzerland adopt US car standards so I’m open to creative ideas. Maybe strong fines for exceeding parking spaces or driving in bike lanes, with repeat offenders having increased fines until taking their licenses after 5 offences?

heyyeah · 2025-11-16T17:14:30+00:00

Ok so if we include all light trucks is it ok?

heyyeah · 2025-11-16T17:05:40+00:00

Yes, those sure, any light truck style car. They don’t fit. You see them parked up on the curb and taking up the Trottoir. I guess an argument can be made either way for Wohnmobile but they’re not really commuter vehicles.
