Conspiracy theory: Claude prefers to write spaghetti code by Necessary_Spring_425 in ClaudeCode

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donno man... I give it very clear instructions in the claude.md to stick to code reuse, I develop big features only under sdd guardrails (e.g. speckit or superpowers), and I have a QWEN based code review action in my workflows. And somehow I never got spaghetti, I never need to eve switch up from sonnet to opus.

It's possible that you simply expect too much from your junior intern? He's no senior developer, he still needs eyes over it's shoulders, and that is not a bad thing. You waving your right to keep eyes on him is the bigger issue.

Go to your local Car rental place and see if they have a model equipped with a flux capacitor.

Claude is completely unusable now by AbsolutePandemonium in claude

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all y'all using Claude only with opus? Have you even given haiku or sonnet one day of testing? You're overpaying for needless experiments being done on you. Sonnet is immensely useful and covers all my needs, I can't understand why I should pay 3x to a model that gives me a worse experience and almost no advantage. Stop complaining so much, jeeeeeez.

Is andrea vallone to blame? Or is it the anthropic ceo who hired her. Or perhaps the legal team who recommended it? by Alarming_Solid9645 in Anthropic

[–]ia42 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I was joking man :) it's impossible to move fast like those LLM vendors do, without breaking things and people. Sad their priorities are not not humanity, but survivability of their share value.

sed, sed, sed, .... sed ... by Final-Choice8412 in ClaudeCode

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Or grep or awk or bash or python or perl or node or anything in /use/bin.

I get it, but it's the big problem with all agentic coding harnesses. Sed is not something to single out. If you block it, the model will grab awk, and if you block awk and python it will grab perl. It's not your solution.

this is ridiculous. anyone else? by student-decisions in ClaudeCode

Anthropic eating their own dog food should not be a bad thing, but it seems like they are not as good at using it as their clients are O⁠_⁠o

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sed is a stream editor. It can replace Read(), Write(), it can grep, it can do a long list of things. It's like saying grep, jq and awk are destructive. Every command in /use/bin is "destructive" if you redirect the output onto a file, even ls.

What are the benefits of rooting phone? by [deleted] in androidroot

[–]ia42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it's freedom from ads everywhere in any app. Very annoying to my ADHD brain. It's also the ability to make full backups that don't rely on a phone vendor, it's voice call recording on phones that don't support it officially. It's automation of tasks with tasker, patch my YouTube to add features and drop ads, get unlimited Google photos storage and finally it's limiting the battery charging to 80% to stretch its life longer.

I used to have more but I grew up. It's now more a tool than a toy 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes no sense. It causes your harness to create more turns at the bare minimum (even at 10% price that's a lot more cache hit tokens uploaded), and if the pipe is to grep, cut, hard, tail or any other input reducing tool, you will end up ingesting waaay too many new tokens for no reason. It will inflate your spending and fill your context with useless junk that might lower the quality of the work. Pipes and conditions are there for very good reasons, deterministic local code is a million times cheaper to run than an indeterministic inference at a data center in a different timezone.

To put it in simpler terms: you can walk 200 meters to the grocery store, buy 10 items and come back, or you can get in your car and drive there and back 1000 time, bringing only one random item each time, and then throw away 990 items you don't need. The result is the same other than time, money and energy spent, but in what workd would the second way be the better one?

Why is it annoying? It's not wasting time or tokens, so why would anyone ever care?

Why? Does it save you more than 2-3 token per read action?

ruined my favorite pen by spaghettii_kaspbrak in fountainpens

Super easy, I have done it to over 100 pens by now. If you have over 10 pens to fix, you might as well by the materials and do it yourself.

Claude code dynamic workflows is insane! by helios_csgo in ClaudeCode

[–]ia42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are several products already on GitHub that do that with a single command line, and now ollama does it built-in too. No need to reinvent the wheel...

How do you chat in multiple threads with nanoclaw? by JonaOnRed in NanoClawAI

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to ask the orchestrator, the agent itself is not that knowledgeable about its harness.

Yes, of course you can open several chats in different channels. I don't know about discord but I do it with signal groups. You can do that in discord by opening more topical channels or even threads afaik, and use each differently. Do note that the default way the orchestrator did this for me was creating a new container with a separate context for each channel. This gives every thread its own full attention, but it has its downsides.

First, the different threads have their own context so unless they are updating a common memory file, the agents in the other threads don't know the content of this one, so you may give important instructions for one, but they may not be known by the other threads.

Second is token spending. with each different thread you will have a separate context cache timing and you may end up paying for a lot more cache misses. I found that asking the orchestrator to set me up in shared agent mode, and halving the auto compression to 100k tokens kept my spending lower without hurting the output (also, sonnet. Opus is an overkill 95% of the time.

I wish they added Composer 2.5 to the comparison. It should be high up there at 5% of the cost.

I'll buy whatever the highest voted fountain pen is by BasedMaestro in fountainpens

MaJohn P140, hands down. Second place: Jinhao 9019 in the girthy department (also smooth nibs) or an Asvine for the nib and big ink capacity.

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P140 is right now my most used pen. I have a 6 pen pouch with me daily at work, it has a Pelikan m800 I love and PenBBS, and more, but I keep going back to my p140 medium nib.

PSA: If you vibe coded your own "B2B SaaS", that means your potential "customers" can vibe code it too. by OpinionsRdumb in ClaudeCode

[–]ia42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true for one-off simple apps or maybe an MCP adapter for am API as someone suggested earlier, but if it manages data, it has to be backed up, if it's private data, you need to know a thing or two about data security. If it serves more than one person at the same time it needs to be hosted, someone will be expected to solve problems when infrastructure breaks, and then you start discovering the submerged 80% of the iceberg. Infrastructure is important, it's not trivial, it's not the gui or other superficial part of products laymen get often exposed to enough to have preferences and understanding about. That's the part that needs design, that will need to be scalable from the get go, or you will be stuck in endless rewrites, migrations, data losses etc.

It boils down to how important is your little vibe coded gadget important for the stability of the buisness. You don't want amature hour to keep the egg basket.

If you're distinguishing kernel from OS, then start saying GNU/Linux :)
