It is a pretty good article. If AI wrote it then good for AI.

Looks like Anthropic is starting to give bank reset as well:

> Reset for free: Get extra wiggle room to explore Opus 5.5. Expires Oct 22.

Re:Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @02:27PM (#49525933)
I noticed they reset the usage and I was kind of happy because this week it was using my quota much faster; I assumed they fixed that. Apparently it is for the celebration of 5.1?

Re:Claude Code: Anatomy of a Misfeature on Friday July 17, 2026 @11:20AM (#48948470)
I really hate this direction both Anthropic and Open AI are following. They are in this silly competition whose model/harness can go unattended the longest, no matter what. And it is never explicit, you learn about it after you get bitten by it. Claude Code has auto mode which is supposed to take over permission prompts but no, they had to couple that with “I will assume this is what the user wants” and made it unusable.
I think someone on Twitter made it up. It was also 40 papers, not 30. https://dallasinnovates.com/exclusive-qa-john-carmacks-diffe...

They feel they're in a position to make important trade-off decisions on behalf of the user. "It's just slightly worse, I'll sneak this change in" is not something to be tolerated, whether it actually turns out to be much worse or not. Their adaptive thinking mess has caused a ton of work for me. I know a lot of people are saying Codex is actually better now. I don't agree but I'm switching to it because it's much more reliable.

Reading the "Going forward" section I see that they have zero understanding of the main complaints.

Same for me. It jumped to 11% on the first prompt and now increasing steadily. I think I will hit the limits without seeing a hi-fi version.
> * Turn on max thinking on every session. It save tokens overall because I’m not correcting it of having it waste energy on dead paths.

This is definitely true. Ever since I realized there is an /effort max option I am no longer fighting it that much and wasting hours.

> Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.

> What is the recommendation here? Should the agent take everything published in a skeptical way?

Not everything. Maybe some things that are explicitly called made-up.

I stand corrected. GitHub team confirmed it's their Copilot ad.

These seem misleading. Cowork's VM is not on Anthropic servers?

> Local file access >> Relay: Truly local >> Cowork: Sandboxed VM on Anthropic's servers

> The bottom line: Claude Cowork is excellent for personal productivity on Anthropic's cloud. Relay is for teams and companies that need data sovereignty, compliance-ready audit trails, and model freedom — all on their own infrastructure.

Re:How I'm Productive with Claude Code on Monday March 23, 2026 @05:54PM (#47495637)
I don't know if I am just in an unlucky A/B assignment or anything but I really don't understand people juggling multiple agent sessions. For me Opus 4.6 High performance went from unbelievable to mediocre. And this keeps happening making the whole agentic coding very unreliable and frustrating. I do use it but I have to babysit and I get overwhelmed even with a single session.
Re:Anthropic takes legal action against OpenCode on Thursday March 19, 2026 @04:31PM (#47445580)
It revolves around how Open AI has much better models and how Claude Code engineers are a bunch of kids (which is kind of ironic).
Re:Death to Scroll Fade on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @12:30PM (#47427825)
It is partly to blame, yes. This is from Claude’s official frontend skill:

“Motion: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise.”

This is from 2015. Both technically and conceptually it was ahead of its time.
Such amazing news. She’s been bedridden due to long Covid. Got better a few times but after a while attacks came back. Both she and her husband showed great strength. So happy to see a new milestone.
