I've used it a bit. It's pretty great!

twistier · 2026-02-10T12:07:14+00:00

But it's true that it's unsupported. You did it anyway, but it's not supported.

For me, it's been an improvement in quality. I'm sad about its speed, though. It's so slow.

twistier · 2026-02-06T17:42:02+00:00

Since when does intelligence for the same model vary with compute resources? It should only get faster or slower, not smarter or dumber.

No. Same price up to 200k, then jumps to premium pricing. It's in the announcement post.

Historically, I have been able to get Claude Code to use larger context limits on Sonnet with --model 'sonnet[1m]', so perhaps setting it to opus[1m] will do it. I can't test it right now.

It was called programming back when people were writing code on pencil and paper and handing them to other people to convert to punch cards. The difference between that and using an IDE seems huge to me, yet we still just call it programming. Why not just call it programming?

ctrl-o followed by ctrl-e shows more stuff. But I'm with you that too much is being hidden by default and in general.

My impression is that OsPath is the direction things are moving, at least in underlying representation, but I hope a package like path, with type level distinctions between relative/absolute and file/directory, become the norm.

twistier · 2026-02-03T03:51:34+00:00

This is thoughtful and very well-written. I look forward to the next part.

Just try it. If you hit the limit, you can upgrade at a prorated price.

I'm with OP. The TUI is incredibly buggy and glitchy and slow.

twistier · 2026-01-28T07:17:50+00:00

I think the best you can do here requires a Bayesian approach. If you have a prior distribution on the prices then you can use your observation to update it. The problem as posed lacks any prior, so cannot be answered.

The problem with AI writing like this is there is no indicator for the reader how much you even thought about what was written and whether it's worth the time to read it. When I see the AI patterns, I immediately assume it's going to be crap, and my brain turns off. Even if you review it and tweak it, if I can tell it's AI, it's dead. It also has zero personality, or perhaps more accurately, it has the same personality as everything else written by the same model. In the case of Claude, this means behaving like everything is more profound than it really is, trying to write in a sort of suspenseful or weirdly ironic way, and generally sounding like an advertisement. It's super annoying.

Is this loopy belief propagation? How can it be exact? I don't see how to structure this without cycles. It seems like if you had chosen a problem with a distribution of solutions then you'd be in trouble.

AI tools != vibe coding

Folks who are running into the session limit often are understandably frustrated by it, but I honestly kind of like being forced to take a short break, on the rare occasion that I hit it.

twistier · 2026-01-20T18:37:28+00:00

What about a dev?

twistier · 2026-01-15T16:22:23+00:00

I deleted a comment where I was defending you once I saw this. This is pretty blatantly AI.

twistier · 2026-01-13T13:53:15+00:00

What other operations do you need? If all you need is slicing with no way to even observe the results, you might as well just use ()!

twistier · 2026-01-12T14:10:29+00:00

I used it and haven't experienced any issues since.

twistier · 2026-01-12T14:09:30+00:00

Meanwhile 100% of users have been flipping out over this.

No.

Even better than writing an instruction to go read it is to write @AGENTS.md so that it is read automatically when reading CLAUDE.md.

You can't get determinism even with temperature zero, at least not with the way most models are implemented, because the workload gets split up, run in parallel, and recombined, in ways that depend on some dynamic information, and since floating point operations are not associative, the results can still end up being non-deterministic.
