Same. I am getting crazy good value from Claude at work, on both scientific applications and deployment environments.

There is one caveat, and that is you have to give the model well thought out constraints to guide it properly, and absolutely take the time to read all the thinking it's doing and not be afraid to stop the process whenever things go sideway.

People who just let Claude roam free on their repository deserve everything they end up with.


I find it especially ironic that they would leak all my data, given the fact that they would ask of me to forward them every piece of id imaginable whenever I needed to forge or amend a new one (when adding a mention on my driver's license for instance).

Like they didn't have access to it anyway.


They do have to prove who you are, and to do that you need to show your ID(s) and they need to check it in their system. I don't understand your comment.

I already have to log to their website with 2 factor authentification. I had to walk and physically present my id card, install the numerical identity app. That should be enough.

Also, apart from reuploading IDs, they ask for information such as age, name, place of living, and a thousand more things that they already have and doesn't need to be provided to establish that you really are you.


Really nice. My mother is an applied Physics teacher, and she told me they had a hard time at work figuring out how they could connect their teaching material to LLM in a relevant way. This should be useful to her.

> There is zero chance any human who put so much effort into creating something would remain silent while it became a $2 trillion phenomenon

I'd argue this is the best reason to remain silent as much as one can.


Coincidently, Claude Code appears to be down right now (in Europe West at least).

Everytime I hear of something X Azure announcement, that something just seem to break right away.

I know correlation is not causation, but my opinion of Azure is already too damn low to not link those two events.


It's also down for me here in Brazil. Getting overloaded errors for about one hour now. It's been happening a lot this week. Is this normal for Anthropic?


Working fine for me right now, from Brazil. Claude via Github Copilot at least.


I'm using Claude Code on the terminal. Not sure if it matters.

  API Error: 529
  {
    "type": "error",
    "error": {
      "type": "overloaded_error",
      "message": "Overloaded. https://docs.claude.com/en/api/errors"
    },
    "request_id": "..."
  }
The promotional double usage period is just about to end too. Sucks.


It's down for me too. A colleague says it's up though - it's possible they're shedding different groups of users (he has the Max subscription, I don't).


Azure, the color of BSOD


The ability for some people to perpetually move the goalpost will never cease to amaze me.

I guess that's one way to tell us apart from AIs.


The main reason for my top post is that I felt I should admit the AI scored a goal today and the last one or two weeks. I said I'd be impressed if it could solve an open problem. It just did. People can argue about how it's not that impressive because if every mathematician were trying to solve this problem they probably would have. However, we all know that humans have extremely finite time and attention, whereas computers not so much. The fact that AI can be used at the cutting edge and relatively frequently produce the right answer in some contexts is amazing.


That's the plan. But if they do it right away people will revolt.


Same here!

I found now was a good time to build that NAS I wanted to have a long time ago, and the first thing I installed on it was a Navidrome server so I could listen to my curated music everywhere.

Hopefully we're entering the era of people ditching megacorp craps and switching to personal cloud solutions.

YouTube will be very hard to replace though.


> Microsoft's best security measure was making something nobody cared enough about to hack in the first place

Maybe that's what they're trying to achieve with Windows as well.
