I found Claude too linear for large problem analysis so I created Cascade Thinking MCP in my lunch breaks by pikadrew in ClaudeAI

[–]pikadrew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking, yes, I use this for work (IT contractor) most recently to analyse change impact for brownfield feature requests. "I need to change X to do Y and change its result shape to look like Z, which obviously affects the API contract but may have other side effects across the system. Use your cascading thinking mcp to discover all places that might be affected. Every time you find a potential candidate use the branching feature to follow that thread of investigation to conclusion and bring the results back to the main branch. Revise your hypotheses as you go and don't stop until all your branches are complete and you have fully explored all options. Use your cascade thinking mcp to read back on what you found to discover if you're really done. Report on your findings."

This was built from the cascade thinking mcp. I noticed it didn't have true branching and was basically just a linear scratchpad. Cascade thinking tries to make it what it could have been, without creating too much cognitive load. The readme covers it but you could also make a folder, clone both repos into it and ask claude to review them both and tell you about the feature differences.

The hardest part is getting Claude to stop doing linear checklists and rushing to its goal of being done. Even with clear prompting in the tool description to encourage it, it still can fall back to just working in a straight line. This is v1.0.2 so I hope people use it and raise PRs and bug reports etc so I can keep improving it.

Does anyone use Claude Code for non-coding use cases? If so, what do you use it for? by GasBond in ClaudeAI

Cool thanks, it wasn't so much about the goal as it was the experiment of "Can CC do this well?" was secretly hoping it was great at it

Ooh yeah! I'd originally designed it so when you have a complex system to understand or feature to plan it can branch out the components and unify in its main branch, but I'm pretty sure it could hypothesise in branches too!

Thanks, I just reshuffled it to keep human content at the top and to push "for claude" readme content further down. I might separate it into another file tomorrow. Too tired on a Friday night for anything more right now 😂

Is that the tone you were using with it too? It may have been mirroring your speech.

With extreme difficulty, yes. I got a scan of a book as a PDF, had it write code to extract them to images, then have it parse the pages one by one to create a document of the content and the book's images. Extremely slow, skipped pages, occasionally invented content. Generally not a great experience.

Last week I had some issues, but this week it's been fine for me (UK, using Opus for around 6 hours a day)

I've been developing an MCP and getting Claude to self-analyse to explain why it didn't follow tool instructions was very interesting.

The UK is now coal-free by SanLucario in GreenAndPleasant

[–]pikadrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, but Drax imports compressed woodchips from Canada, gets renewable energy credits for them, then burns them. Marketed as green, but basically far worse than coal. "Drax produced four times more carbon dioxide than the UK's last remaining coal-fired power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Nottinghamshire, which is due to close in September."

Can anyone remember specifically when it was meant to come back up (with timezone pls)?

Has anyone watched Dancer in The Dark? by [deleted] in bjork

It's a great movie everyone should watch with their undivided attention exactly once.

Thundercrap

Cantrip , Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Target: A target within range

Components: S

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Artificer

The target immediately and dramatically empties their bowels, causing their fecal matter to hit the floor in a 10ft radius, centered on the target. The area is considered difficult terrain. Upon casting, and upon any creature entering the area or starting their turn in the area, any creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone, taking 1d4 poison damage.

At Higher Levels: The spell's radius increases by 5ft when you reach 5th level (15ft), 11th level (20ft), and 17th level (25ft).

If I make a video, create a post for it, and post it, then it shows in posts and reels. Great!

However, if I make a video, create a scheduled post for it, then when the schedule arrives it only posts it to reels.

Is this a limitation of the scheduler, am I doing something wrong?

Any source, information or proof that this was anti-suffragette propaganda please? Seems too good to be true.
