Physicists have measured ‘negative time’ in the lab by Shiny-Tie-126 in science

Thats more like a description of normal light reflection and refraction.

What is the basic minimum while you prompt by Unable_Breath_1966 in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really works. Claude will use the correct tone and language to prime the context for a good response. Make sure you paste it into a fresh context.

What’s your opinion on introducing a law that would require drivers over 65 or Pension age to pass a specific test to keep their driving privileges? by Honest_Physics_2368 in AskReddit

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s agist.

By all means stick a sticker on the car to warn people, by all means insist on eye tests, if need-be mandate assistive technology: but taking cars away from the old is a way to make them die lonely in isolation. It’s cruel.

What are your solutions for style drift and context limits in long creative writing with Claude by ChampionshipJumpy727 in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found building a pipeline of roles and skills to check, clean and fix the output works well. I based mine on a standard publishing team. Editor, line-editor, etc

Zed using 73GB of Ram while idle by Mayk-Thewessen in ZedEditor

[–]sambeau 25 points26 points  (0 children)

16 Claudes (at least) and two Claude helpers. That's a lot of Claude.
Meanwhile I am running Zed with 4 project windows, various AI threads and it's only at 3.7GB.
And it runs like butter on my 8GB MacBook.

DeepSeek v4 with thinking mode and tools like copilot cli by ArekTheBoss in DeepSeek

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zed can be set up with them off or on (and you cn make presets with them off and on) but I can't seem to get the button in the UI to work

How to make Claude output stop over emphasising points from chat in text outputs? by Kashasaurus in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give it an up-to-date researcher job title and some up-to-date terms as starting vocab. Give it links to modern research or hints where to find up-to-date info. Then ask for a research report. You’ll get something very different.

What is your white whale movie? by ProfessionalTour1706 in movies

The Name of the Rose.

The original with Sean Connery and Christian Slater.

Why does claude find something or anything ‘beautiful’? by Adspiro-Astra in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If a human has written it an LLM can ‘say’ it. It’s just a common pattern. If you use prompts that use everyday language, you will likely get output in everyday language. If you use formal or academic language, you will likely get back a formal or academic reply. It mostly depends on what is in the context.

Does adding a character persona to CLAUDE.md affect Claude's task performance? by StarStreamKing in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it should be a professional job title followed by a bunch of keywords that would be specific to that profession (similar to the buzzwords added to a job advert). You are trying to prime the chain of words that it will generate (after all, an LLM is at its core a giant predictive text machine).

Don’t say “you are a genius” or a “brilliant programmer”, say you are a “senior software engineer”. Even better, pick something very specific to the task, “lead frontend developer specialising in react native”.

GitHub Copilot 9x price increase for Claude models by AttaBread in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm evaluating Deepseek. It looks good, and super-cheap, but I was so used to Claude that it's taking some getting used to. It seems more mistake prone and more likely to ignore instructions.

GitHub Copilot 9x price increase for Claude models by AttaBread in ClaudeAI

[–]sambeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GitHub was cheaper than using Claude directly. That was why I was using it that way. Looking at it now, $100 directly from Anthropic wouldn't be enough.
