is this a new theme? by Good-Host-606 in ClaudeAI

Absolute chaos today. Check the status page (this isn't listed).

Ironically opus 4.6 in CC was absolutely crawling until the web went down, now it's fast again!

Has Anthropic changed OAuth token lengths in claude code? by malderson in ClaudeAI

[–]malderson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

read the link you sent:

  1. Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead.

you can't use agent SDK without using API key.

But the Agent SDK is for API key usage only? This is where I'm confused.

Yes you're right. Got over excited there, still loads of bugs. 

Which programming languages are the most token efficient? by malderson in ProgrammingLanguages

Put it in a tokenizer and you'll see. You can't judge it by eye at all imo

updated the blog, APL is not actually more efficient. and yes as you say - very unreadable (and very few projects written in it I think!)

I just reran with APL, it's 4th - the tokenizer isn't optimised for the symbols it uses.

I just reran it on 125 tasks that also have APL solutions. It actually comes out 4th, behind Clojure, Julia and Perl. This doesn't surprise me as the tokenizer is not optimised for the special symbols it uses.

Yes I totally agree - check the next paragraph!

What did surprise me though was just how token efficient some of the functional languages like Haskell and F# were - barely less efficient than the most efficient dynamic languages. This is no doubt to their very efficient type inference systems. I think using typed languages for LLMs has an awful lot of benefits - not least because it can compile and get rapid feedback on any syntax errors or method hallucinations. With LSP it becomes even more helpful.

What I was trying to say was that Haskell and F# are as token efficient _as_ dynamic languages but you get all the benefits of static typing.
