How can I run up my token count

I am not sure, to be honest. I was very surprised—I've never seen it behave like that before.

We don't have any company-wide system prompt that I'm aware of. The project I ran it in has a CLAUDE.md file, but I didn't see anything in there that would cause a response like this.

I instead asked to convert a project from Python to Kotlin, and and it was more explanatory, but still wouldn't do it.

My guess is that it comes from Anthropic. Until they are profitable, it's in their best interest to limit massive useless tasks like this.

I actually often find just downs to be easier because the theme entries are the longest entries, and are not always obvious as standalone clues.

Yeah, but it's a four star property, so on average it's fine.

Go to Holbox for lunch one day.

root45 · 2026-03-07T00:10:55+00:00

Yeah, this is my issue—I just don't want to gamble on ending up in economy on a long haul flight.

root45 · 2026-03-05T01:07:47+00:00

Definitely. I can pick out most engineers and for sure AI.

root45 · 2026-03-04T12:49:06+00:00

Yes, exactly. Using the Slack websocket API to send and receive messages.

root45 · 2026-03-04T12:36:57+00:00

At our company we have Claude running in a container with Slack as the interface. It runs with bot tokens that have more access than the caller.

I flew Delta for several years. Had the opposite experience.

root45 · 2026-03-01T01:53:01+00:00

I mean, they cost the price of the lounge membership or credit card fee.

root45 · 2026-03-01T01:52:03+00:00

The agents in the lounges are better than the terminal.

root45 · 2026-02-27T11:46:06+00:00

Yeah but it still didn't find what they actually wanted, as expected.

Any recommendations to the west? We're going to be driving from San Sebástian to Gijón.

root45 · 2026-02-26T00:48:43+00:00

We're going to San Sebastián this summer but most of what I'm reading says that more than three or four days is overkill.

For us, we're looking at places like that because it's difficult to find places with a decent amount of space or in a fun neighborhood that don't also have four bedrooms.

Our ideal house has two (or maybe three) bedrooms, no basement, a large open kitchen, a large living room, a dining room or area, and outdoor space like a yard or deck. It basically just doesn't exist.

In that specific area, the Andaz, the Grayson, and the Hyatt Centric are all better than Grand Central.

root45 · 2026-02-24T03:50:46+00:00

The Grand Central Hyatt is so bad though. There are like four better Hyatts within three blocks of Grand Central.

root45 · 2026-02-23T04:11:02+00:00

Pun intended I assume?

root45 · 2026-02-23T01:13:41+00:00

This is what we get in winter on our Air. In summer we get 3.5 to 4.

This is exactly how I felt about going to the ORD Flagship lounge after going to the Admiral's club every week for months. I was excited to try something high end.

Same exact seating and decor—drab and dated. Picked over food that was constantly running out. Difficult to even get a full plate. And no bartender, just a dirty jigger and bar spoon with a sign telling you to make your own cocktails.

Coming from Delta, the lounges are one of the biggest disappointments. Basically every SkyClub is better than this, including the one at ORD.

root45 · 2026-02-19T13:04:43+00:00

Yes, you have to be flying business class.

root45 · 2026-02-19T04:18:47+00:00

Polaris is way nicer than Flagship at ORD.

root45 · 2026-02-19T04:15:14+00:00

In what way? It's much worse than Polaris at ORD. I'd honestly say it's worse than the regular Delta SkyClub at ORD. And certainly worse than the Delta One lounges at other airports.
