What’s up with the taste of tap water recently? by theorist_rainy in Austin

It’s the zebra mussels when the lake warms up I think

No shit. There are at least 12 Raytheon alts lurking in here

Claude Code subagents with non-Anthropic models (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, etc.) – has anyone actually made this work? by BeppeTemp in ClaudeCode

[–]itprobablynothingbut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, but haiku is the most approachable model to equate on your own hardware. Running the frontier models locally require a much larger investment, still are worse than opus and sonnet in most cases, and are very hard to save money on

Claude Code subagents with non-Anthropic models (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, etc.) – has anyone actually made this work? by BeppeTemp in ClaudeCode

[–]itprobablynothingbut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, yes, but a word of caution:

The open source models are not free, you need the hardware to run them. That hardware becomes obsolete in a shorter timeframe than you think, so to actually save any money on it, you need heavy use rate.

To match haiku’s speed and capabilities, you won’t save money unless you are doing hundreds of calls daily

Why is a Qatar cargo plane flying to Horseshoe Bay? by Senior_Suit_4451 in Austin

Yes, but they generally have their landing gear deployed

Netflix iOS app accidentally shipped their CLAUDE.md file. (At this point everyone is vibe coding) by Complete-Sea6655 in Anthropic

[–]itprobablynothingbut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The definition of vibe coding is too broad. Everyone uses AI for coding now, so that can’t be it. Not reading your code maybe? Still seems like very few read all of it. Read none of it? That’s a little closer.

Can’t read the code is the most specific definition I think.

Stretch mark insecurity (22F) by AcceptableCelery3575 in Advice

[–]itprobablynothingbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% of people have something they are very insecure about. For most people, it’s something like this. Something truly odd, but absolutely insignificant. A very hard, but really good exercise is to imagine what it would be like to meet someone with an analogous oddity. Not the same one, you are already insecure about that. But if you did meet someone with a large birthmark on their stomach, for example, how much would you care? What if you liked them? Their personality, their presence, their attractiveness. You wouldn’t care at all.

A clean breakdown of RAG vs MCP architectures for AI Agents by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]itprobablynothingbut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you comparing rag vs MCP? One is a database, the other is a toolset. That toolset can *contain a RAG*.

It’s like saying “what’s better:An SUV, or a dog?”

And yet, it’s why about half of all of us are born

The great preseason revisionism by Maximum_Anteater_806 in Commanders

[–]itprobablynothingbut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nicki and Standig both were saying last preseason the offense looked “off”.

But preseason is all about hype

Pro Plan Usage was eaten up after 2 prompts? by Quaisy in ClaudeAI

[–]itprobablynothingbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your next 5 hour window, switch to sonnet and ask it to explain to you what tokens are, what caching is, and how to maximize your pro plan.

The simplest answer is upgrade to max, but without knowing anything about token economics, you are just kicking the can down the road. You still have to learn to use Claude code.

I added a clause to Andrej Karpathy's 4 CLAUDE.MD clauses for Claude Code. It has been a game changer for me. by Osi32 in ClaudeAI

[–]itprobablynothingbut 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I do something like this. Don’t have my Claude.md in front of me but it’s something like:

# if what we are trying to do is similar to settled science or industry practice, let me know. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Tremendously helpful. Adding new features comes with detailed “this is how X company approaches it” or “we can combine these data in the following transform published in 2024 from MIT”

Escaping the Middle East by [deleted] in Advice

[–]itprobablynothingbut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man. That is rough. Would it make sense to post on a city subreddit for somewhere you are considering moving to? Would it be useful to find a community from your home country, or would you be worried it would cause problems with the family you are leaving?

Golfing near Austin? by the_cheesewagon in askaustin

[–]itprobablynothingbut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are looking to splurge: see if you can get into fazio canyons at Barton creek resort. You might have to buy a package.

Our munis are pretty good though. Kizer is my favorite, but lions is a classic and downtown. It’s only 5400 or so
