I'm not sure when claude started preferring huge bash chains but auto mode tends to decline most of them and drop to a permission prompt -- getting rid of the use of auto mode -- because it refuses to handle anything chained with expansions, variables or similar items

If it was human approval ? Read("./file.name") then Bash("docker compose run unit-tests"), sure, I can read that fine !

As I was reading your post I got another approval request that auto-mode did not understand. It was a single Bash call !!23!! lines tall on a retina mac display with six different variables. If anything this is the cause of approval fatigue and auto mode does nothing helpful when this is every call. I also have in my claude.md and global instructions to use tool calls rather than bash grep/cat/find, which are disregarded.

For some reason claude code hates using the read/write/grep tools and defaults to complex sed, awk, grep Bash:* runs which results in always consistently ignoring auto mode due to the classifier not knowing what to do with a 10-line long bash pipe instead of a read + pre/post read and write hooks being ignored and not firing, what is up with that?

I fly very often in the states and it seems to be the opposite situation -- you get little to no passenger rights for a rebooking or delay so you ideally want everything on a single reservation with a single airline so they will want to rebook you if something falls through. On average I do not even get enough of a food voucher to afford a sandwich.

Outside of NYC, DC and SF/LA Ive not been able to think of a city that has more than one commercial high traffic airport. Interesting that, I assume part of it is due to distance-to-next-airport in Europe too?

From my time at hyperscalers ... realistic for low power traditional DC (lot of regular rackmount CPU server) ... unrealistic for the power and cooling requirements of inference and crypto mining

Many of the votes are not full ban on DC but ban on massive energy dense DC

Fan noise unfortunately

I wonder if google flights and ita software are legally distinct entities enough that southwest only signed a redistribution agreement with one of them..

as of at least a few years ago i remember southwest suing anyone that posts their fares without permission, scrapers, (kiwi maybe?) and they don't participate in data feed redistributions

simplify + they own itasoftware. search on https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search

1) It doesn't reliably offer round-trips made of 2 one-way tickets from 2 different airlines.

this is an extremely bad thing for the baseline normal person and will fuck over normal users hard because they are not competent enough to handle this. most sites do not do this, kayak only does this with piles of warnings to click through and call it a hacker fare

3) I live in an area served by multiple airports. Similar to my first issue, I feel like Google Flights no longer reliably shows me round-trip itineraries that depart from one airport and arrive an another (e.g. depart from Heathrow, arrive back in London at Gatwick). Once I pick a departure airport it

similar to 1) the least common denominator end users cannot reliable handle a "multi city" flight

There is no accessibility reason ever for covering up the light or recording. I will accept describing objects in FOV etc but nothing should be persistable or sent to a third party that trains on them and saves them without the consent of everyone in view, a company should build non-criminal glasses without these feature sets and have insurance pay for them.

Not supposed to edit or touch any code, or review. Other agent reviews and approves. You only write prompt.

on older gemini models ide have to actively give them encouragement and/or easy bait problems that they can correctively solve without issue to avoid runaway spiraling into "i'm useless and i want to kms" behaviour with complex use case.

I have not seen this in other models.

> There's no reason for that person to be allowed to operate a vehicle

Doesn't much of america outside of cities also have the secondary problem of you physically cannot feed yourself, get to appointments, or do anything without operating a vehicle?

Imho part of isuse here is that you cannot "partial AV" it.

You cannot have a car that will EVER need you to intervene or else it does not work because of awful human nature. The amount of tesla uber drivers ive had literally browsing tiktok, watching youtube UNTIL the car beeps that it is a green light detected, then they immediately hit the accelerator before looking up is ridiculous. You cannot have a half ass "autopilot" driving experience where you are expected to zone out and then be expected to take control within a millisecond during uncertainty. It does not help that FSD, AP, aAP, bAP, the model, whether the car is visual only all apply differently
