<p>Where are you getting 60GB from? It shouldn’t be that large.<p>But yes, would love to save context/cache such that it can be played back/referred to if needed.<p>/compact is a little black box that I just have to trust that is keeping the important bits.</p>

<p>> Since Claude Code uses a 1 hour prompt cache window for the main agent, if you leave your computer for over an hour then continue a stale session, it's often a full cache miss. To improve this, we have shipped a few UX improvements (eg. to nudge you to /clear before continuing a long stale session), and are investigating defaulting to 400k context instead<p>I don’t understand this. I frequently have long breaks. I never want to clear or even compact because I don’t want to lose the conversations that I’ve had and the context. Clearing etc causes other issues like I have to restate everything at times and it misses things. I do try to update the memory which helps. I wish there was a better solution than a time bound cache</p>

<p>I've been using Claude code for a while, probably written close to 100K+ lines over several months.<p>It is always a learning exercise to see how other people are using CC and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from this, so thanks for sharing it.<p>But, I don't understand what 600,000 lines in 60 days mean. Lines of code is one thing, but to do what? There still needs to be a loop where CC generates code, there is test automation, maybe do some code review, and then test/run to  see what it's built and if it matches the spec, refine the spec, provide new guidance and so on. Products are not built in isolation and are not just KLoC.<p>Now, if I were asking CC to, take the Algorithms text book and write all the code in all the language etc. (as an example) 600 KLoC over 60 days would make sense. If it were porting an existing product from one stack to another, maybe. But for new products, at least to me that part doesn't make sense.</p>

<p>On one hand companies are laying off people, because AI<p>then, companies are hiring fewer people, because AI<p>so, while in theory this does sound like a reasonable startup idea that makes sense on paper, should we really be optimizing in such a way, as opposed to making sure that we're hiring the best possible set of people.<p>I'm pretty sure, at least at the moment, only the most desperate will tolerate such process. The IVRs have become annoying enough that I occasionally find myself cursing while dealing with them, I'll definitely fail such an interview.</p>

<p>I love sourdough, have starters in the  fridge but haven't baked in a while, should do it.<p>Problem is, for some reason it never tastes sour enough, or like the commercial sourdough. I have done slow rise in the fridge over 24+ hours etc. Made sourdough starter from scratch several times, same result.<p>Bread tastes good, just not sour, or rather sour enough to tell it's sourdough.</p>

<p>While most comments are focused on the issue that they found, I’m more intrigued by the fact that Claude was able to reverse engineer so well.<p>Lowering the skills bar needed to reverse engineer at this level could have its own AI-related implications.</p>

<p>Mine was also SE that went bad.<p>Need to dig deeper into inductive charging as it seems to heat the battery more especially if the phone is in a case. So yet another tradeoff to consider.<p>Good thing is that if the port goes bad it can still be charged.</p>

<p>Adapter causes unnecessary wear on the charging port.<p>Recently had a phone go bad when the thunderbolt port stopped working due to the same port being used repeatedly for charging and for audio adapter.<p>So when I updated the phone I grudgingly decided to get a BT earbud.</p>

<p>> I've generally found an inverse correlation between "understands AI" and "exuberance for AI".<p>Few years ago I had this exact observation regarding self driving cars. Non/semi engineers who worked in the tech industry were very bullish about self driving cars, believing every and ETA spewed by Musk, engineers were cautious optimistically or pessimistically depending on their understanding of AI, LiDAR, etc.</p>

<p>Another alternate to Tauri is Wails if one prefers Go to Rust.

Tauri can also target mobile platforms it seems which Wails can’t is one big difference.</p>

<p>My process is to use cheap Walmart powder for prewash and Kirkland pods in the dispenser. Avoids any over filling issues.<p>I used to just use the Kirkland pods and they worked fine too. The reason I started using powder in prewash is to get any loose fat dissolved so that it doesn’t clog over a period of time, not sure if that’s a valid concern. And yes, I do run hot water before starting the dishwasher.</p>
