This is in reference to Claude Code… using Opus 4.5. But I’m seeing the same with all of @AnthropicAI’s 4.5 models with @cursor_ai. Monitoring the thinking output I see a breakdown when the context window is almost full; preferring to save tokens at the expense of doing the task

It started lying constantly "Has been implemented!" / "FOUND THE BUG!", but it - Implemented workarounds - Simplified tests - REMOVED TESTS - Refused to write tests - Ran only a subset of tests - Removed features to make others work - Regressions framed as "preexisting"

@ZackKorman @fabsx00 It’s all the tech we had back in 2014… especially at conferences put on by drunk German geeks over the Christmas holidays… 🎄🤣

The most overpowered prompt in AI... At the end of a conversation, ask: Based on what we have just done, how could we have worked better together? What information should I have shared earlier? What critical details were unclear to you for too long? #alwaysImproving

@ZackKorman Yes. I see it. I seem to spend most of my time constraining AI brain-farts… because the agent suddenly has a “great idea” (or fractionally different context).

@joepindar Tbf it was a pretty easy fix, and if it does keep happening we have some decent workarounds. Just annoying that the performance went so wild out of nowhere on us

Sounds to me like a need for: 1) More orchestration… 2) Less AI… I always start as small as possible, then expand the scope of an AI micro-agent until the eval %s start to drop off. Start too big and the uncertainties cannot be tamed in retrospect.

Yesterday I wrote a thread about AI threat detection, and today I woke up to ten different alerts where Gemini said “I’ve decided this isn’t a threat, so I’ll return false” and then returned true anyway. So maybe y’all are right AI sucks

I’ve been through 2 deep optimization cycles. And reduced my token usage by ~40%. Currently, I only with @cursor_ai 8-10 days per month… because the ultra package doesn’t include enough tokens. Agentic coding is not constrained by the models… It’s constrained by energy. #jevons

I am not a competent coder. I am a product guy… But @cursor_ai + @claudeai make my ideas real. I have standards - code quality & test coverage. The cost? 50-125 million tokens per day. Roughly 1-2 billion per month.

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai A prompt improvement optimizer… Plugin: “you’re doing X a lot… do you want me to create a new rule so I will do it automatically in future?” Plugin: “I can save 30% token used if i use JIT context priming. It will slow the completion time by 7s. Do you want me to do that?” etc

if you could extend @cursor_ai, what would you build? think plugins to tweak chat + ui, hooks into internal agent APIs, full editor extensibility… curious to hear!

Hmm… @cursor_ai’s planning mode is not good enough… yet. I still need to use my own planning SOP… But the past 2 releases have increased agentic dev’s self-control so much that I barely need to tend a 40 minute dev task. 🔥

In the last month, 10 days of dev used 396M tokens… And that was after 2 rounds of token use optimisation.

What is a normal token usage on @cursor_ai? Over 40 days of dev, I’ve used 1.75B tokens as a solo developer… (88% cache reads).

@benln @benln Do any of the devs at the London Cursor cafe work on the agentic code generator size of the product? Would love to speak to someone about the changes you’ve made over the last few weeks and where you’re heading.

@ctrl_alt_focus @obsdmd All good. I suspected it may be a life happening situation. Let me look at some alternatives - and loop back with a contribution if it is still the best way forward. 😀👍

@joepindar @obsdmd Haha ouch.. life happened, stopped using obsidian, didn't give this much attention🫣 recently someone submitted a PR to be able to use local models (making it use the Copilot plugin might be best, works for all use cases then) you can become contributor? all users then benefit😇

Finally, an update! v0.3.0 released For curious obsidian users: obsidian://show-plugin?id=auto-tag Pity that there's no way to see _active_ users ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @obsdmd it's great that you prevent tracking but anonymous stats like wordpress has for plugins would be <3

to scratch an itch related to my use of Obsidian (the note taking tool), I decided to build a plugin turns out it's not that hard, the itch will soon be scratched effortlessly (but new places will start to itch then? 😃) cc @_buildspace @_nightsweekends s4

@swardley @elonmusk 🤔 If NASA hadn’t signed a contract with SpaceX… it would have gone bust. That could be viewed as a bailout. Equally NASA needed a service and tendered a contract. That could be viewed as a vendor supplying what the customer needed. 1 event, 2 interpretations - neither untrue

"He's saving NASA from itself" ... technically, it was NASA that bailed out @elonmusk back in 2008 when he was facing bankruptcy - reddit.com/r/todayilearne… ... the rest of the claims in this article are equally distorted ->
ELON CLIPS@ElonClipsX

Victor Davis Hanson: Elon Musk is a Renaissance man, a Da Vinci of our age—and Democrats hate that. “Elon Musk represents everything [Democrats] are not. He's a Renaissance man of the 21st century. He reinvented social media. He's saving NASA from itself. He created the whole EV industry, basically single-handedly. Let's not even get into the AI, the tunnels and all the other things he does. So, he's a Renaissance man. He's a Da Vinci of our age, and they hate that. This election is starting to come down to the people who lecture us and say, you can't do things, can't do this, can't do that, got to think this way, must be this way, to the people who are getting tired of being lectured. They say we can do stuff, and we're going to do stuff. And one side says, you should be ashamed of who you are. Your Constitution was flawed, it got worse, now it's even the worst of all, you should be guilty of who you are. And the other side says, you know, I'm tired of that. Our civilization has nothing to apologize for. We're better than any other alternative, and we don't have to be perfect to be good. So, I think people were getting to an inflection point, like you pointed out, and you can feel it. You can feel it in the country that people are getting tired of this. And the people, the real people who want to do things and are optimistic and think things are going to get better are going to not vote for them, they don't want to. They don't want their message anymore, their habit. The jig's up. I really believe that.” @VDHanson with @IngrahamAngle on Fox News, October 16, 2024

Out of curiousity, are there any non billionaires running US Gov departments? Are there any who might be more representative of the actual population? Not that it matters, I'm just curious -> billionaire and private astronaut Jared Isaacman to lead Nasa - theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…
