I tried to get it to translate a document and it stopped after a few paragraphs and asked if I wanted it to keep going. This is not appropriate for my use case and it kept doing this even though I explicitly told it not to. The old version did not do this.

Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#302From the computer use video demo, that's a lot of API calls. Even though Claude 3.5 Sonnet is relatively cheap for its performance, I suspect computer use won't be. It's a very good idea that Anthropic upfront that it isn't perfect. And it's guaranteed that there will be a viral story where Claude will accidentally delete something important with it. I'm more interested in Claude 3.5 Haiku, particularly if it is inde…
It's just bizarre to force a computer to go through a GUI to use another computer. Of course it's going to be expensive.
Yeah super weird that we didn't design our GUIs anticipating AI bots. Can't fuckin believe what we've done.
Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#303Why not rev the numbers? "3.5" vs. "3.5 New" feels weird -- is there a particular reason why Anthropic doesn't want to call this 3.6 (or even 3.5.1)?
The confusing choice they seem to have made is that "Claude 3.5 Sonnet" is a name, rather than 3.5 being a version. In their view, the model "version" is now `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` (and was previously `claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620`). https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models

#304Not that I'm scared of this update but I'd probably be alright with pausing llm development today, atleast in regard to producing code. I don't want an llm to write all my code, regardless of if it works, I like to write code. What these models are capable of at the moment is perfect for my needs and I'd be 100% okay if they didn't improve at all going forward. Edit: also I don't see how an llm controlled system can…
I have trouble with this too. I'm working on a small side project and while I love ironing out implementation details myself, it's tough to ignore the fact that Claude/GPT4o can create entire working files for me on demand. It's still enjoyable working at a higher architecture level and discussing the implementation before actually generating any code though.
I don't mind using it to make inline edits or more global edits between files at my descresion, and according to my instructions. Definitely saves tons of time and allows me to be more creative, but I don't want it make decisions on its own anymore than it already does.
I tried using the composer feature on Cursor.sh, that's exactly the type of llm tool I do not want.

#305does anyone know what are some use cases for "computer use"?

#306For me, one of the more useful steps on macOS will be when local AI can manipulate anything that has an Apple Script library. The hooks are there and decently documented. For meta purposes, having AI work with a third-party app like Keyboard Maestro or Raycast will even further expand the pre-built possibilities without requiring the local AI to reinvent steps or tools at the time of each prompt.

#307Earlier quoted context omitted.
you can enable latex support in the settings of Claude
Where? I see barely any settings in settings. Maybe it is not available for everyone, or maybe it depends on your answer to "What best describes your work?" (I have not tested).
Open the sidebar, click on your username/email and then "Feature Preview". Don't know if it depends on the "What best describes your work" setting but you can also change that here: https://claude.ai/settings/profile (I have "Engineering").

#308One of the funnier things during training with the new API (which can control your computer) was this: "Even while recording these demos, we encountered some amusing moments. In one, Claude accidentally stopped a long-running screen recording, causing all footage to be lost. Later, Claude took a break from our coding demo and began to peruse photos of Yellowstone National Park." [0] https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/1…
Next release patch notes: * Fixed bug where Claude got bored during compile times and started editing Wikipedia articles to claim that birds aren't real * Blocked news.ycombinator.com in the Docker image's hosts file to avoid spurious flamewar posts (Note: The site is still recovering from the last insident) * Addressed issue of Claude procrastinating on debugging by creating elaborate ASCII art in Vim * Patched tend…
* Finally managed to generate JSON output without embedding responses in ```json\n...\n``` for no reason.
* Managed to put error/info messages into a separate key instead of concatenating them with stringified JSON in the main body of the response.
* Taught Claude to treat numeric integer strings as integers to avoid embarrassment when the user asks it for a "two-digit random number between 1-50, like 11" and Claude replies with 111.
Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#309Reminds me of the rise in job application bots. People are applying to thousands of jobs using automated tools. It’s probably one of the inevitable use cases of this technology. It makes me think. Perhaps the act of applying to jobs will go extinct. Maybe the endgame is that as soon as you join a website like Monster or LinkedIn, you immediately “apply” to every open position, and are simply ranked against every othe…
The `Hiring Process` in America is definitely BADLY broken. Maybe worldwide afaik. It's a far too difficult, time-consuming, and painful process for everyone involved. I have a feeling AI can fix this, although I'd never allow an AI bot to interview me. I just mean other ways of using AI to help the process. Also people are hired for all kinds of reasons having little to do with their qualifications lots of the time,…
AI and new tools have broken the system. The tools send you email saying things like "X corp is interested in you!" and you send a resume, and you don't hear back. Nothing, not even a rejection.
Eventually you stop believing them, understanding it for the marketing spam that it is. Direct submissions are better, but only slightly. Recruiters are much better, in general, since they have a relationship with a real person at the company and can actually get your resume in front of eyes. But yeah, tools like ziprecruiter, careerboutique, jobot, etc are worse than useless: by lying to you about interest they actively discourage you from looking. There are no good alternatives (I'd love to learn I'm wrong), so you have to keep using those bad tools anyway.
