As a side note, if anyone here is in Denver and wants to grab a coffee or cowork sometime, hit me up.

I've been building promptslice.com as a way to create, test, and optimize prompts + tools + context. I needed it when building agents for other use cases so I built it. Unlike Langsmith and some of the other prompt editors, this has a

Same thing happened to me except I wasn't able to stop it. I still receive pictures of mail going to an old PO Box I had.

There have been a lot of these clickbait articles the past few months about how a company "hacked" MCP of <insert well known company>. They always get upvotes and do well but the take away is what you said at the end of the

This is more of a model that VSCode would integrate, not something for end users to use.

I'm going to test implementing this for my project https://promptslice.com and see how it does with text based edits. I assume it will do ok. I'm also really curious about the XML tool calls in the documentation. I hav

I have not ever actually hit the rate limit as far as I'm aware. I have gotten the "approaching Opus usage limit" a couple times but have not hit it.

I've been wondering this too. They said on a podcast that the average usage is around $6 a day in credits but I really question that. If that's the case though and they do have a lot of Pro and higher tier subscribers that might b

For a reference point, it says my max session limit in the past was ~337,492 tokens and I have the Max20 plan and 99% use Opus. My total tokens used since I started using Claude Code on May 27th was 1,374,439,311 worth around $3397.34.

Yes this is one of the techniques apps can use. You vectorize the tool description and then do a lookup based on the users query to select the most relevant tools, this is called pre-computed semantic profiles. You can even hash queries the

For coding at least, I don't bother with anything less than the top thinking models. They do have their place for some tasks in agentic systems but time is money and I don't want to waste time trying to coral less skilled models w

It's a skill that takes some persistence and trial and error. Happy to chat with you about it if you want to send me an email.

Yes this is what I mean by conciseness with o3. If prompted well it can produce extremely high level quality code that blows me away at times. I've also had several instances now where I gave it slightly wrong context and other models

I have not used them but I feel like there are tools like Replit, Lovable, etc that are for that audience. I totally agree IDE's are intimidating for non-technical people though. Claude Code is pretty cool in that way where it's o

Claude Code isn't a model in itself. By default it routes some to Opus 4 or Sonnet 4 but mostly Sonnet 4 unless you explicitly set it.

by joshmlewis 1y ago
I have the Max $200 plan so I set it to Opus until it limits me to Sonnet 4 which has only happened in two out of a few dozen sessions so far. My rule of thumb in Cursor is it's worth paying for the Max reasoning models for pretty much

by joshmlewis 1y ago
Yeah, exactly. For everyone who might not know, the chat apps add lots of complex system prompting to handle and shape personality, tone, general usability, etc. IDE's also do this (with Claude Code being one of the ones that are close

What languages do you use it with and IDE? I use it in Cursor mainly with Max reasoning on. I spent around $300 on token based usage for o3 alone in May still only accepting around 33% of suggestions though. I made a post on X about this th

o3 is still my favorite over even Opus 4 in most cases. I've spent hundreds of dollars on AI code gen tools in the last month alone and my ranking is: 1. o3 - it's just really damn good at nuance, getting to the core of the goal,

It's called attachment theory and does show up in more than just romantic relationships.

It's nothing groundbreaking nor particularly exploitive about MCP itself (although I have my thoughts on MCP), it's just a clever use of prompt injection and "viral" marketing by saying MCP was exploited. As I build agen

Typically the left lever is the clutch, right lever is the front break, and your right foot has a lever for the rear break. Not sure what the setup was for the record breaking motorcycle though.

Playing devils advocate here, it's because removing a function is not always as simple as deleting the lines. Sometimes there are references to that function that you forgot about that the LLM will notice and automatically update for y

Are you willing to share what you are using for data sources? Particularly the renter, net worth, etc aspects as that is not in the publicly available data out there.

Agreed, this should be the main link instead of giving AppSignal free publicity. The original is very much a light reworking of the original. It has the same content order and everything.

It means being able to make travel itineraries public / shareable for other people to use for their own.
