I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens.
normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task
caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task
"I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens
caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens
every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved
why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops.
no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words
"result. done. me stop."
50-75% burn reduction
with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

What was Mira’s plan?

OpenAI is nothing without its people

feeling frustrated (and a little guilty): there’s still way too much confusion about @OpenAI's Responses API.
this is partly on us: we haven’t always been clear about why we built it, how to use it, and why it matters.
here's my attempt at setting the record straight. 👇

We just bumped up the max leverage from 20x to 50x on international perpetual futures.
A bunch of traders asked for this update. Let us know what else we can add!
Coinbase International Exchange 🛡️@CoinbaseIntExch
We just leveled up. Perpetual futures are no longer capped at 20x — say hello to 50x leverage.

@ChrisJBakke An anti- cluely? Like how to actually get an ace an interview.

Soham Parekh needs to start an interview prep company.
He’s clearly one of the greatest interviewers of all time.
Easy couple million per year and less stressful than the scam he was running by working at 14 YC companies at a time and getting fired by all of them after 3 weeks.
He should publicly acknowledge that he did something bad and course correct to the thing he’s top 1% at.
