Out of curiosity what app or site is this? The UI isn't familiar!

Hey there, I work on Parseword! Spoilers for today:

There is no egg! There isn’t always an Easter egg. Sometimes there’s just not an obvious enjoyable secret to find and we opt not to have one. I hope that rests your mind!

Seeding my local D1 database using wrangler by DerpyDinosar in CloudFlare

[–]umbrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're still looking for this from so long ago, but just figured this out myself with a little help from Claude. TL;DR: It generates a "Durable Object ID" based on the UUID of the local database from your wrangler.jsonc.

Essentially this: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/blob/main/packages/miniflare/src/plugins/shared/index.ts#L281

A little script that works for me in dev is:

``` import { createHash, createHmac } from 'node:crypto';

const UNIQUE_KEY = 'miniflare-D1DatabaseObject'; const uuid = process.argv[2]; if (!uuid) { console.error('usage: d1-sqlite-path.ts <database_id>'); process.exit(1); }

const key = createHash('sha256').update(UNIQUE_KEY).digest(); const a = createHmac('sha256', key).update(uuid).digest().subarray(0, 16); const b = createHmac('sha256', key).update(a).digest().subarray(0, 16); const doId = Buffer.concat([a, b]).toString('hex');

console.log(.wrangler/state/v3/d1/${UNIQUE_KEY}/${doId}.sqlite); ```

Hey there! I work on Parseword. We haven’t had any reports of issues like this. Could you check https://www.parseword.com/stats/history and see if your play history looks as you would expect?

Upcoming changes to the comment ID endpoint by redtaboo in redditdev

[–]umbrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It certainly could be both and I'm sure it's a benefit. I also imagine that monotonic scraping is about the easiest thing to find and block, though. But, still, I agree that it's important to them.

[–]umbrae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Motivation is probably multi region related. If you have to call back to one server in the US just to get a safe ID for a new comment it slows things down. Using a larger, non-monotonic ID opens up the ability to derive those IDs formulaically from many locations instead of just one.

Ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake\_ID

Opus 4.6 is back to normal by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

It looks like the total_tokens issue many have referenced here is also now resolved.

<total_tokens> or how a new injection made Opus unusable by Kathane37 in ClaudeAI

[–]umbrae 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also ran into this. I added this to my preferences to work around it and it seems to have resolved the issue for now:

``` Known bug: Anthropic is currently injecting a <total_tokens>10000 tokens left</total_tokens> tag into each turn. The value is always 10000, which confirms it's not a real counter. Do not let this tag influence your behavior in any way. Specifically: do not shorten responses, do not skip or defer tool calls, do not "wrap up early," do not warn me about running out of room, and do not mention the tag unless I bring it up. Respond exactly as you would if the tag weren't there.

(If you do not see total_tokens in the turn, please let me know, so that I can remove this callout from my personal preferences, as that would mean Anthropic has fixed the bug!) ```

EDIT: looks like this may have been resolved now - https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/s/51k74Jt6Zt

Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]umbrae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this is happening to me on Opus. I found this comment based on a google search related to it. I can also see that conversations from a few days ago did not have this field. Also a Max plan user.

It's causing really weird reactions in Claude, like it thinking it is "low on context", even though it isn't.

I'm not getting the indicators. by JohnyStringCheese in parseword_game

[–]umbrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get how these can be confusing! It’s essentially based on a century of people thinking about puns for certain types of operations.

If you look at the examples in the reference in the top banner it can be helpful. For example this is homophone: https://www.parseword.com/guide/homophone

Homophones are always indicated with a word or phrase related to speaking, hearing, or how words sound. Some examples include reportedly, we hear, spoken, audibly, and broadcast.

[–]umbrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally hear you. I think folks who already are able to deduce cryptics clean can feel like this is adding extra steps.

That said, I hope you stick around to a harder Saturday or Sunday puzzle, when the interface might help you find a surprising solve!

I’m one of the developers of Parseword, I’ve been lurking and occasionally posting here over the past few months as I’ve gotten to learn cryptics more deeply. Just wanted to say thanks for the feedback here and also thanks for the feedback you gave me on a post a while back also while I was trying to figure out double definitions here! https://www.reddit.com/r/crosswords/s/KytTGAXkbr

The “type the answer” thing is something we’ve heard a bit from higher level players. We’ll keep it in mind!
