He's not talking about malware awareness. He's talking about a bug i've seen too which requires Claude justifying for *every* tool call to add extra malware-awareness turns. Like every file read of the repo we've been working on

Another way to think about it: every single user of Claude is paying an extra tax in every single request

Well the system prompt is probably permanently cached.

On API pricing you still pay 10% of the input token price on cache reads. Not sure if the subscription limits count this though.

And of course all conversations now have to compact 80 tokens earlier, and are marginally worse (since results get worse the more stuff is in the context)

Takes up a portion of the context window, though

And the beginning of the context window gets more attention, right?

Isn't it basically the same as paying dust to crypto exchanges when making a transaction - it's so miniscule that it's not worth caring about?

Reminder that 4.7 may seem like a huge upgrade to 4.6 because they nerfed the F out of 4.6 ahead of this launch so 4.7 would seem like a remarkable improvement...

Anthropic has become a PR vaporware company

I started building a similar project for myself, a terminal PTY running through a desktop daemon: https://youtu.be/6KY-HCn3SaA

The fun part being it worked on mobile too: https://youtube.com/shorts/CmemwDGwpx8?si=xzAJBb8ha7DLIDmY

It was more of a tool for myself but some interest from others inspired me so iterating on it. People interested in this kind of thing should join my slack! https://monetworkspace.com/terminal

I built this entire app on ios + website without opening an IDE.

NextJS, Rails, GraphQL, React Native

Certainly wasn't one-shot for all of it but case in point it has dozens and dozens of "features" all LLM implemented

I want to hear someone say "I work at Google on a 10yr old 100KLOC service and AI is doing it all we are just vibe coding" as that would be really interesting. Greenfield yeah AI slaughters greenfield before breakfast

Is the source code available?

Could I ask, what did you love about programming that you now don't find this agent thing fun at all.

I'm genuinely curious, I feel very differently and excited about this agent thing.

Asking because unlike a lot of other commentary, this struck me as being more about the act itself than being depressed/anxious for financial reasons, etc

I love the act of writing code, it clicks well with me. I love the feeling of my brain solving problems, figuring out how something works, and then finally understanding it. I love debugging. I love having built something that people love, solely wrought by my own fingers.

I got into programming because the act of spinning a web of code just feels like what I'm designed to do.

Vibe coding definitely has some of that, but it feels so detached from any understanding of the computer itself. I feel like I'm bossing someone around — and I would never want to be a non-coding manager. I'm curious, how/why do you feel so different?

(Obviously the financial side is stressful too, but I feel like I'm in a good spot to figure that out either way.)

I think his point is that an even better close friend is…a close friend

OpenAI hiring BCG alumni is all we need to know

No need to be like that mate.

As someone who writes a lot of Ruby and has for a long time, I have never thought the metric Ruby optimizes for is “intuitive” (I think it is, but been doing it too long / too close to it so it’s intuitive to me)

The stated optimization from Matz (who created Ruby) is “developer happiness”

The important optimization for me is “fidelity to business logic”, eg less cruft and ruby syntactic sugar means you could sit at your computer and read your business rules (in code) out loud in real time and be understood by a non-dev
