Funny how you think this is a “bug” and not deliberate behaviour. If you’re business is a slot machine based on consumption of tokens, doesn’t really feel that your interests would be aligned with reducing or eliminating token consumption. If anything, the contrary. Something they would never publicly admit of course. But let’s get real. KPIs and business models drive behaviour. And remember, in a casino filled witj slots machines, you can “feel” like you’re winning sometimes, sometimes, but in the end, the house always wins.

how did Anthropic drop the ball like this this is my entire feed rn 💀


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.

Still can’t believe they did this.









Exclusive from @benclatworthy Rachel Reeves is preparing to announce a limited package of support for energy bills over the summer and is instead focused on a more significant bailout in the winter The chancellor believes support for households who use gas for heating can wait until the autumn. The energy bill price cap, set by Ofgem, the regulator, is expected to jump by about £330 in July, forecasts suggest. That means average household bills will hit £1,972, according to Cornwall Insight, a consultancy. Treasury officials said Reeves was expected to allow this to go ahead. She believes the picture will be clearer by autumn and any support package should be introduced when gas consumption jumps with the arrival of colder months Government figures show that households use 78 per cent of their annual gas consumption during the winter thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
