@Slowie9 Or you could just get gear and be done with it natty

For people messaging me, this is possible because if a character on your account downgrades all their myth crests to hero crests, they can get this achievement and the discount on hero upgrades for ALL your characters, letting you do the achievement on your main w/o wasting myth

@altryne “some insane redditor” and it’s just a dude that asked Claude to self-diagnose and posted the slop for the team to review. GG big value

PSA: If you've been running out of Claude session quotas on Max tier, you're not alone. Read this. Some insane Redditor reverse engineered the Claude binaries with MITM to find 2 bugs that could have caused cache-invalidation. Tokens that aren't cached are 10x-20x more expensive and are killing your quota. If you're using your API keys with Claude this is even worse. This is also likely why this isn't uniform, while over 500 folks replied to me and said "me too", many (including me) didn't see this issue. There are 2 issues that are compounded here (per Redditor, I haven't independently confirmed this) : 1s bug he found is a string replacement bug in bun that invalidates cache. Apparently this has to do with the custom @bunjavascript binary that ships with standalone Claude CLI. The workaround there is to use Claude with `npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code` 2nd bug is worse, he claims that --resume always breaks cache. And there doesn't seem to be a workaround there, except pinning to a very old version (that will miss on tons of features) This bug is also documented on Github and confirmed by other folks. I won't entertain the conspiracy theories there that Anthropic "chooses" to ignore these bugs because it gets them more $$$, they are actively benefiting from everyone hitting as much cached tokens as possible, so this is absolutely a great find and it does align with my thoughts earlier. The very sudden spike in reporting for this, the non-uniform nature (some folks are completely fine, some folks are hitting quotas after saying "hey") definitely points to a bug. cc @trq212 @bcherny @_catwu for visibility in case this helps all of us.

hi, my girlfriend is currently in custody. she threw herself off the train tracks earlier this morning. i'm not really sure how to write this without it sounding like i'm fishing for sympathy, so i'll just be direct. i'm behind on rent. bug bounty has been brutal lately and between everything happening right now i genuinely don't know how i'm going to make it through this month. i don't like asking for help. if you've followed me for any amount of time you know i'd rather just disappear than admit i'm struggling. but i can't do that right now because i still need a roof over my head while i figure out what comes next. i've spent most of my life figuring things out on my own and i'm not good at this part. asking for help feels worse than any CVE i've ever written up. but rent doesn't care about pride and i need to keep a roof over my head while i deal with all of this. i have security audits lined up but every company is taking their time with onboarding and i have no idea when any of them will actually start, let alone when i'll see a check. if you've ever gotten anything useful from my research, my disclosures, or even just my shitposts, now would be the time. anything helps. sharing helps too. thank you. genuinely. ko-fi.com/vmfunc crypto addresses available on my github

@ChebzReal @GuongLu @TFTC21 if you were l5 and made less than 500k after 6yoe you are terrible at navigating your career

@Fawnstalker @GuongLu @TFTC21 L5 actually

Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

@ChebzReal @TFTC21 I work at one of the ones listed, L5, 500k ez

@Fawnstalker @TFTC21 Not even remotely true lol. Senior caps around 250k at the TOP companies. That's including RSUs.

@ChebzReal @GuongLu @TFTC21 self-report L3 chud

@GuongLu @Fawnstalker @TFTC21 I worked over 6 years in faang

@ChebzReal @TFTC21 every senior engineer at airbnb, datadog, netflix, openai, nvidia, faang, snap, roblox, quant, uber, stripe, databricks, stubhub, salesforce, coinbase, bytedance, doordash as long as you’re not working for the first place that hired you you’re making 500k

@TFTC21 What world do these people live in? What engineers make $500k a year? Their number is so small it's irrelevant to use them as any data point.

@DavidBalderston @OpenAI bro can train models but can’t delete disabled=true or figure out the post body

@OpenAI Submit button for the credits not working? Can't get it to enable.

Are you up for a challenge? openai.com/parameter-golf

@bitforth @adxtyahq fyi the web scraper round also discusses evading bot detection, defeating captcha, rate limits, etc the high level asks are simple. they push you a lot deeper

They're all relatively easy? Assuming is one per round, not all 4 in a single round lol The first one is a hashmap for lookup plus a double-linked list for ordering, shard it to reduce contention. web scraper is literally just a queue of URLs, workers that fetch pages, parse links, and push new URLs back into the queue. ezpz the inference infra just treat it like a cache. Requests append tokens, KV tensors grow, and you manage GPU memory with batching and eviction. Pretty much a memory allocator + eviction policy (this is pretty much identical to the first problem) the last one boils down to knowing how to count things in stacks lol

just read a reddit post and a youtube breakdown of the Anthropic SWE interview loop never felt more dumb in my life. apparently you need to casually: - implement LRU cache with concurrency - build a web crawler - design LLM inference infra, KV cache management - reconstruct profiler traces from sampling profiler AI companies are interviewing like this now.

@Artemishowl_ @Krexxal The designer did a sloppy job and didn’t double check their work. Happens! Low talent bar that we make excuses for which results in a terrible product. Oh well! Blizz gets what they pay for I guess

@Krexxal This isnt proof. The designer used a tool to implement this and prolly copy+pasted the mechanic over and forgot to add some updated flags. Happens a lot! WoW is an OLD game

LMFAO

@Rigolpa @TCGView @MagicuzGold For something you can get from any WQ or rare lol

@TCGView @MagicuzGold You did’t get the point, the item is cheap. Way too cheap.

wtf

@evilsocket Dealt with the same, they got back to me after two months with “this has already been fixed, thanks” Never fixed

> found preauth RCEs in popular framework > company be like: "send as an email, do not use github security" > reported via email, including details and weaponized exploits > ... not even an ack in 9 days ... > open a generic issue on github to ask wtf > "Please do not discuss security stuff here. You will receive a response in due time."

@Methodsco @Lorgokz @Method framemogged yourself by angling rip sco

Friendships formed in gaming 🤝 @Lorgokz here in Thailand, time to get some great workouts in 💪💪 @Method

@yacineMTB that’s cool dude, i’m the idea guy for a quantum LLM that launches nanobots to space. just read about it last week

remember, about a year or two years ago, when I told you all to start pivoting to hardware? now i'm a founder of a hardware defense tech startup. a year ago i did not know how to solder

@_Reloe They shouldn’t have backtracked, it really is the worst outcome. When you can achieve 95% functionality but requires 200% effort (and 5x the addons), the whole thing feels moot. If they gutted everything and we had to wait for their improvements, it would unironically be better.

Would you say the addon changes we ended up getting are better or worse than you expected them to be when they were first announced? (regardless of if you are happy with them or not)

@Thdlock @towelthetank

@towelthetank Guess ill finally make a house with 1 chair in it

I don't mind it. But it still kinda goes against their player power + housing said in several interviews. Group Finder - LFM COME TO MY HOUSE NEED CREST TO UPGRADE GEAR I mean I get the housing push. But damn man lol

@stupidtechtakes your username often reflects your posts rather than the nature of your posts, and your lack of experience is evident each time you do this.

it's a colour.. it's not that hard lol??

@striedinger @endingwithali i feel like this is fairly obv and all the people freaking out about it have never worked at a high talent org. a color change drives conversion. who is going to monitor that? ensure UX is upheld? fixes the bugs when it fails to render? there’s so much work if you care about it.

@endingwithali I’ll tap in. We don’t have the resources to deliver features at speed and scale while making sure they look and work well with a barely used theme

i need every front end engineer to tap in on this RIGHT NOW.

@nsg650 More like ms-appinstaller://?source=evilpayload.xyz to install an untrusted app

Did they just receive someone putting calculator:// in md file opening it in notepad and then seeing the calculator spawn open when the link is clicked and call that RCE??

@Nick_Davidov bro YOU can’t go mainstream. you just did the equivalent of forwarding a chain email to 5 friends in 1996. and you’re a ai founder… lmao

Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife’s desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes “ooops”. Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends’ weddings, travel, everything. It’s not in trash, it was done via terminal It’s not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn’t have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can’t see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I’m now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack. Once again - don’t let Claude Cowork into your actual file system. Don’t let it touch anything that is hard to repair. Claude Code is not ready to go mainstream.
