Earlier quoted context omitted.

The hamster in the datacenter died.

Alas, poor Whiskers

PETCO reports that hamster prices are up 5000x, and that Pickles, the last available, sold for $150,000.

Claude always seems unreliably lately. Output and reasoning have become very inconsistent even on good days. I'm actually feeling more productive now that it's down.

This is bad, I've forgotten how to code.

Thinking of doing competitive programming for this very reason.

also math puzzles - lean seems like a good way to get back into by hand programming, problem solving and math altogether

Lol, I just bought the Max plan for the first time and tried to create my first prompt in Fable, and now it’s crashing xD

Looks like you're the straw that broke the camel's back. Thanks man. ;-)

I'm gonna guess it found the smoking gun and saw the full picture then it decided it was too load-bearing for its seams to continue biting the costs.

you're right- and it's sharp

Another wakeup call to realize how desperately we need on-device LLMs to be fast and smart for daily use. Thankfully, every month there's progress made in that direction. Just imagine how your life as a developer would be if you had to use a cloud provider to run Python, and the provider's status page looked like the Christmas tree we see today.

It's cached until the "/clear will save you 500k tokens" right? Claude caches for 1hr, codex for 5hrs? Anything else I'm missing?

It depends.

Let’s say I’ve already worked on something, so the KV cache is already there. If I use /clear, I’ll have to do that work again.

And yes, the KV cache will remain available for one hour, but who knows when this claude api will recover? We might forget about it, and when we come back after an hour—boom - we’ll be charged for cold writes.
