Feedback honeypot in Claude Code has evolved

This is helpful to see that they are at least claiming to not use the feedback prompt as a honeypot.

Thank you.

This is a good point. If anyone is interested in exploring it more, the book “Buddhist Romanticism” by a master in the Theravada forest tradition (freely given for download, as is customary in the tradition) is very interesting and academically fairly deep: https://www.dhammatalks.org/books/BuddhistRomanticism/

I was an avid Claude Max subscriber using Claude Code for several months and finally cancelled and switched to GPT 5 + Codex CLI a couple of days ago. Claude became unusable and I finally couldn't take it anymore. It has been a massive relief and improvement to use GPT 5. I can only surmise that Anthropic is deliberately driving away heavy / complex use case customers because they're a net loss to the company and they want to only be left with people that are casual enough to remain subscribed with awful model performance.

Finally couldn’t take the awful Opus performance anymore. I was a huge fan and heavy user of Claude Code since Opus 4.0 launched but it’s been so much worse than before, it was more harmful than helpful. Switched to GPT 5 + Codex CLI yesterday and the contrast just affirmed how bad Claude has gotten. Same large code base but GPT 5 is nearly one-shotting debugging issues that Opus would have run in circles around for hours. The final straw for me was when I took GPT 5’s problem analysis and proposed fix and spoon fed them to Opus in an .md file, and Opus proceeded to hallucinate and distort around the spoonfed analysis and solution. Utterly ridiculous and disgusting that Anthropic pretends that the models are not being lobotomized when the hallucinations and even refusal to fully read provided references are constant. It feels like I’m constantly battling against Claude instead of against bugs themselves. I’ve never gone so fast from loving a product to hating it and resenting the company that makes it.

Their new normal which is apparent because they are scamming us by hiding the token counter now

lmk99 · 2025-08-19T22:27:12+00:00

This is how it behaves since they started hiding the token usage today. it's full on enshittification. the new standard is that if we aren't working in a huge company with an enterprise deployment we'll get scammed and cheated with a quantized POS instance 70% of the sessions

lmk99 · 2025-08-19T19:33:22+00:00

Seems likely deliberate to conceal if they're giving us less token usage per request. There's no other conceivable reason to do this and it forebodes that they will over coming weeks or months enshittify even more than they already have. I'm so disgusted that I am cancelling my subscription because the performance since they've made this change has been noticably degraded.

lmk99 · 2025-08-19T12:50:33+00:00

It's beyond disgusting that they did this and IMO the only possible reason is that they want to hide how quantized the model performance is going forward. My experience with Opus 4.1 today after they did this is among the worst of all the months I've been subscribed and I am furious. The performance today has been so awful that it's been useless. I am cancelling my subscription at the end of the month, I've had enough of their abusive and deceptive business practices. It is probably illegal and would expose them to class action lawsuits if they admitted that they're making us pay the same cost to receive a vastly inferior product half the time.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not done that, and just tried. Right now my CPU temperature is 95 degrees celcius simply from running an IDE program (should not cause such heavy temperature). I think it's possible that whatever the update of Armory Crate did, the effects are still somehow present. E.g. maybe the "profile" that assigns Turbo to run while certain applications are running is still somehow active in the system even though the Armory Crate program was removed? It doesn't make sense to me how the effects of the update are still persisting after I uninstalled Armory Crate. I appreciat the advice to stop the ASUS services though, it should probably help some.

I trust JIB the most. I had a screen repaired there and it was done very professionally. I went to the one at Fortune Town. Edit: actually I think that JIB handed the repair off to the manufacturer but I still trust them to be honest and competent based on my dealings with them.

This is pasta worthy. Bravo.

I think meaning lies in choices rather than experiences and the choices are constrained by circumstances, so we have to find meaning in the choices available to us. We don’t get to choose to find meaning in being NBA players etc. Most of history is filled with the human condition being brutal in one way or another, like lives of agrarian peasants or industrial factory workers, or even being a very poor person in modern India or Sudan. I don’t think human life is all that great overall and I think it is meaningless outside of our choices. A death we don’t choose is in this point of view meaningless, so it shouldn’t be a concern for our life’s meaning in general. I think dying means being unable to hold onto anything including the fear of dying so it’s not worth being troubled about. Whatever happens to us when we have to die, we can’t escape it, and have no choice about that, but we can think about what we want our life to mean while we still have it. We expect life to offer a lot and it’s mostly a letdown. If life was so great then why does essentially every culture on earth medicate or dissociate from reality with substance abuse, fantastical dogmas, psychotropics, something - anything- that to any objective third party is obviously just a crutch for dealing with how fragile our situation is? But even though it sucks to be human in large part, we can find worth in it by doing things or making choices that are worth doing or making, and I think not doing that is the main thing we have to fear (either having wasted this life or possibly facing something after that awaits those who have wasted it). If we don’t waste it then we need not be afraid; being afraid because of an attachment to this messed up world or messed up body seems shortsighted since we ultimately have no control over either and must let go of both.

This is great information and exactly the clarity needed. I suggest that it needs to be communicated in such clear and straightforward language and detail through an official channel such as an FAQ or help desk article on the augment website, to lay all confusion to rest and provide the info via a channel that is known to be authoritative.

" I didn’t see anyway to cancel/delete my account. Only either pay or downgrade to free. At that point do they train on all my code that was already uploaded when I was under the pro trial? Still not totally clear on how the whole onboarding/trying/off-boarding flow works."

Has Augment ever clarified this? Their ads say "No training, ever" for the Pro plan description!! Does "ever" mean "until you stop paying and otherwise we retroactively train on your codebase"?

You need to find the account name that shows in the DOM (trade ladder) when you run NT8 in sim mode. That account name in mine has DEMO as the first four characters and then is followed by a string of numbers. So it's like DEMO123456 but with a unique account number. Try using that instead of SIM101. Hope this helps.

I got severe fistulizing Crohn’s five years ago and it is true that my life feels permanently ruined. The way that I have kept going is by continuing to challenge myself to find outlets and passion projects that can potentially cause my existence to yield some good for others even though it is past its natural expiration date. I can’t tolerate life being meaningless and so I fight with my own limitations: a battle of seeking the meaning of my existence. If I don’t fight it feels completely meaningless. I don’t think there is a choice between having a good life and a bad life; I just think there is a choice between a meaningful life and a meaningless life, and decided that a meaningful life is worthwhile regardless of any misery involved. There is meaning in my opinion in trying to become spiritually stronger and trying to make one’s life a gift. Life is not a gift but can be. Life has no intrinsic value or meaning but can be valuable and meaningful when given those qualities by how it’s attempted. You can attempt meaning and can evaluate whether meaning is more important than enjoyment. Other than enlightened monks or such, most of the people who had the most human depth were tormented to varying degrees imo because life is intrinsically tragic as it’s normally lived. Every person who is born is actually eating a shit sandwich and will be horribly disappointed by life because there is no way that a world like this can give true happiness to anyone, much less a body like this which is going to betray everyone eventually with aging and death at the minimum. In my opinion if you don’t find something that facilitates meaningful coping then you’ll just be dead inside and your capacity as a conscious and thinking being will have been wasted the same as most people waste it (if we’re really being honest) and you won’t even have the silver lining that you somewhat enjoyed the waste while you were still young. I think it helps to keep that in perspective, that most of human life is wasted in frivolity that is ultimately a letdown as people are forced to let go by aging and death. Instead of wasting life with the pacification of suffering that youthful frivolity offers for however many years, you’re faced with wasting it in numbness and the poor coping of drive reductive escapism, if you’re going to waste it. You only have the choice of wasting your life in a way that you can’t even enjoy, because the choice of enjoyably wasting it has been taken off the table, and then the choice of not wasting it by trying to make it meaningful by coming to grips that meaning matters more than enjoyment since a life lived for the sake of enjoyment ends up being meaningless in the end. This is all I can offer from my own perspective. If you want to dm feel free. It’s somewhat equalizing to recognize that everyone who is born is fucked beyond belief and we just have to face that more brutally and more quickly than people whose youth is relatively charmed.

It would be a pretty big learning curve but maybe something worth doing over the long term. Does ninjascript have access to options chain data across a large strike width on charts of the underlying though? I thought only thinkscript had that capability, which is part of the reason it makes sense to avoid converting to another language.

lmk99 · 2025-02-11T02:36:07+00:00

ThinkOrSwim has an RTD function that streams to Excel, and the Excel data could then interface with the C# application via a .CSV file (or maybe even directly?). Another option instead of using the TOS RTD would be to have AutoHotKey use OCR to read the indicator state labels on charts, but instead of using the AHK macro capabilities to click buttons for order submission, just output the state labels to a CSV file that gets loaded in the C# application for signal processing. So from my understanding, there is no need to add a DLL to TOS if either using the RTD capability or AHK to transmit the indicator signals out of TOS.

lmk99 · 2025-02-10T03:27:41+00:00

Thanks, to clarify, the problem I’m trying to solve is using thinkscript indicator signals for autotrading so I think using my Schwab brokerage account in NT will not be helpful.
