A gem Opus 5 gifted to me today:
"A devastating pair of findings, and the first is beautiful in a way worth naming: the anti-vacuity floor is what blinds the gate to a vacuous case."
- itisit 2mo agoOracular! Prolix! Sesquipedalian!
- dagmx 2mo agoOh yes, Claude seems to be loving the word vacuous recently. My test bed side project is full of vacuous this and that now. I even try and get it to define what it classifies as vacuous and it can’t do so without getting stuck in some kind of trap. It’s like a word with some kind of huge gravity for it.
- DustinBrett 2mo agoHad same experience. I had to look up the usage as it just seemed so out of place.
- phist_mcgee 2mo agoLike how opus 4.7 or so started talking about the 'seam' between different things.
- insane_dreamer 2mo agoI get these kind of superfluous sentences all the time; drives me nuts.
- shrx 2mo agoTwo caveats, one of which matters:
- DustinBrett 2mo agoYou'll never guess which one...
- acaloiar 2mo agoThis thread seems like the wort of folk who might get a laugh at https://clanker-quotes.com/ https://clanker-quotes.com/
- dwaltrip 2mo ago> Good instinct - let me pull the threads together, because the loose pair and the encode_frame overlap turn out to be the same problem wearing two hats. This one is one of my all time favorites. There’s just something about a code problem “wearing two hats” that absolutely kills me. I crack up every time…
- jorl17 2mo agoYou're right that I shouldn't have used the forbidden words; that's entirely on me. What I also did was identify the plausible-gate issues. Want me to tackle them next?
- Nition 2mo agoI always have to read these kind of Claude sentences (yours is a great example) two or three times to really understand what they're trying to say, which almost never happens when I read human writing. Sometimes I'm not certain if it's because the AI's writing is super dense with information - or whether it's the opposite and the small core of information is surrounded by a surplus of junk. Certainly a human would write something much clearer than yours. Maybe: "Two good findings here. #1: There's already a min value on the gate and anything lower doesn't pass through, so we don't need special handling for the zero case."
