Is anyone else noticing degradation of quality many evenings from 9pm-2am-ish ET? I wonder if anthropic has some sort of usage pattern that incentivizes them to route to weaker models.

I also fully acknowledge that I might be making spurious associations

A nice chance to try sonnet again, must say, I'm not missing the load bearing assumptions, honest read of the permission matrix, what's genuinely a Django convention and what's a design choice, what's worth my thinking, and what's worth being precise about. Long story short, it seems to be faster and less vocal but not much dumber (it's just my thinking partner, so I read a lot of the output as I create a large data…

Has anyone else had luck having a system level prompt for “express all responses in bullet point form unless full sentences are specifically necessary”? Because I’ve been having tremendous luck with that.

Just over the last couple of days I've found that forcing the models to use bullet points has helped a ton. I was even tempted to post something/ask around if others had any similar experiences with this.

grass touching not allowed. shareholder profits must increase

Don't think of it as being unable to work, just like github outages, it's two weeks a year of mandatory time off

I'm doing the opposite - prose. And specifically for Claude the 4s - "simple short synthetic style"

I remember Jetbrains Junie which read like that all the time. Never used first-person either. I've not used Jetbrains AI for a while though, not sure if it still reads that way.

Grok models are struggling too: https://status.x.ai/ reply Looks like trouble in the SpaceX datacenters.

I would be _very_ surprised if anthropic relied heavily on spacex datacenters already.

Maybe you triggered a cascade of events that took down a few datacenters.

"Stop all loops you're running" would be one hell of a 0-day for Opus to pull off, but hey, it did crack me up thinking about it.

Like literally all loops your model is running. All. Of. Them.-

Reading this made me ill. Nice job!

My allergy to Claudish is also rapidly progressing. I think it’s now at a boundary that is genuinely worth exploring. Oh no!
