I believe the reasoning for not using anything higher than medium is that Opus 5 has a tendency to overthink at higher effort levels. So I guess the washing machine analogy is that…

> [Claude/Opus 5 Max goes looking] The general consensus I've seen for Opus 5 on the various Claude subreddits is to only use it in low or medium effort. I've reverted to Opus 4.8 …

Is the battery replaceable? Or is the keyboard going to be tethered-only when the lithium battery degrades after 5-10 years?

I have an Apple Watch, but kept that feature off because I didn't want the possibility of someone else being able to fiddle with my MacBook when I'm near enough for the watch unloc…

I wonder if Jeff Dean facts [1] (I hope people remember the reference) will carry over to the new startup. [1] https://github.com/LRitzdorf/TheJeffDeanFacts

Anyone interested in a meetup in Singapore?

Randomly, my Philips Hue E27 bulbs last far longer than any of the China Zigbee clones I've bought, but like all mass produced goods, there are outliers that fail. The cheap China …

Beige/cream colours and orange accents — wait, isn't that literally the HN design? (Randomly, I love the Solarized colour schemes, so anything similar is great, vibe-coded or not.)…

You're right that it's model dependent, even within Claude models. I've found Opus 5 far better as a subagent with very limited context window use, which could suggest that it migh…

Claude's cache breaks with a reasoning effort adjustment: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/effort...

It's fixed per account, unlike ChatGPT's which starts when you use it.

I mentioned this in one of the earlier Opus 5 threads [1], and it's still infuriatingly bad after days. I've read that Opus 5 has more success if used with Fable as orchestrator, b…

I'm surprised the layoffs worldwide hasn't produced more entrepreneurs building their own software product.

I haven't been impressed with Opus 5 over the past ~30 hours either. It's made countless careless mistakes folding in plan amendments after they get reviewed by Sol, and has produc…
