I thought this would be for people who cannot drink commercially available drinks due to mandated addition of sweeteners.

I stopped consuming these, any that I tried was leaving awful chemical aftertaste that I just cannot get used to.

So instead I was DIY drinks by mixing concentrated fruit juice (with no added sweeteners) with sparkling water.

Also be careful if drink says "natural flavourings" - it's a loophole to add sweetener that is not classified as sweetener, so they don't have to put it on the label, but still tastes awful.


I wonder if this is in the system prompt: "Go round in circles to make us more money."

You know that people are not using the same resources? It's like 9 out of 10 computers get borked and you have the 1 that seems okay and you essentially say "My computer works fine, therefore all computers work fine." Come on dude.

Can you explain why Opus 4.6 suddenly becomes dumb as a sack of potatoes, even if context is barely filled?

Can you explain why Opus 4.6 will be coming up with stupid solutions only to arrive at a good one when you mention it is trying to defraud you?

I have a feeling the model is playing dumb on purpose to make user spend more money.

This wasn't the case weeks ago when it actually working decently.


> Very very pointy.

I have intrusive thoughts of trying to cut my finger over it, but so far the attempts were unsuccesful.


> ...finally, was this vibe-coded?

Reminds me the days when I created a Windows app for accounting and someone asked did you code it in C++ Builder? As if writing form scaffolding by hand was sign of a skilled developer.

What I am trying to say - who cares? Most software create by one person is vibe coded, just with the AI, you don't have to spend ages typing actual code that you would have eventually typed anyway.


What is the difference between Pro and normal mode apart from the fact the Pro takes ages to finish? I see not much difference in output quality.

I wonder when they'll tackle literal porn showing up in Instagram shorts. If you want to browse Instagram in public, forget it.

One day Claude started saying odd things claiming they are from memory and I said them. It was telling me personal details of someone I don't know. Where the person lives, their children names, the job they do, experience, relationship issues etc. Eventually Claude said that it is sorry and that was a hallucination. Then he started doing that again. For instance when I asked it what router they'd recommend, they gone on saying: "Since you bought X and you find no use for it, consider turning it into a router". I said I never told you I bought X and I asked for more details and it again started coming up what this guy did. Strange. Then again it apologised saying that it might be unsettling, but rest assured that is not a leak of personal information, just hallucinations.

did you confirm whether the person was real or not? this is an absolutely massive breach of privacy if the person was real that's worth telling Anthropic about.

Ages ago when I was trying to create a simple USB device, I found that there is very much zero information how to do it - e.g. how to correctly write descriptors and so on. The typical advice was: find similar device to what you want to make, copy its descriptors and adapt to your own device using trial and error.

Sounds like USB is a wonderful standard. Am I wrong?


Descriptors also were kind of a mystery for me until I realized that they're just a binary structure with a fixed format that the host reads and interprets.

The device descriptor is easy enough to get right as it doesn't have too many fields and every USB class just defines in the specification which Class and SubClass it uses for its interface descriptor as well as which endpoints that interface needs to have. And that's, for the most part, all you need for the host to recognize your device


USB is nice, but electrically some parts of USB 1/2 are kind of complicated (not true differential signaling.)

Eh, there's very little tutorial content, but as far as big corporate standards go it's fairly reasonable. There is a downside to "too much choice", in that you have to read a lot to find the most relevant pre-defined type of device to what you're doing.
