Claude code is by far the buggiest piece of software I interact with, If the underlying model weren’t so good, I would never opt to use it.
It takes multiple seconds to launch, random lines disappear in the scroll back, it’s internal state gets messed up causing the TUI to show duplicate and/or offset lines, and it frequently causes some kind of GPU buffer corruption causing the entire terminal env to show garbage.
Yes, this is the ubiquitous memory issue that I mentioned. Unfortunately, it is now the baseline in all modern apps.
>random lines disappear in the scroll back, it’s internal state gets messed up causing the TUI to show duplicate and/or offset lines,
I haven't seen this issue, other than when I am using a shell that is bugged and does it with all TUI/console programs (usually a virtualized shell which I resized). Do you have a reproducible example of this?
Baseline for “modern” apps, what? We’re talking about a terminal application here, there is definitely, most-assuredly ways to write something that does exactly what Claude Code does with a teeny fraction of the resource requirements.
The trick is not bringing React into the terminal.
(FWIW, I have a link to a TUI harness in my profile that uses 50MB of ram and about 1% CPU while streaming, even in giant contexts)
> logic based vulnerabilities like a ReDoS pattern identified from source without live exploitation, or an admin-only route that's never been exercised
The two classes of vulnerability given as examples are the exact kind of issue I probably don’t care about, and are not grounded in an actual security model
I don’t know how to make the statistics match my perceived reality.
Both in this thread, and people I know in real life who are looking for jobs are struggling hard. Mass layoffs are becoming more common and the time spent between jobs is measured in six month increments.
And yet, the numbers say we are in a hiring market with more job openings than ever, except for during the pandemic.
My perceived reality and the numbers almost could not be further apart.
Why would the (USA) job numbers be real? We have yes-men at every level, purposefully installed to spin any and everything in the most positive light possible. And, if not, outright fabricate numbers.
Former BLS officials still believe the numbers are reliable, because the methodology is public and there are lots of ways for well-financed actors (e.g. wall street traders) to spot manipulation.
It reminds me of 2008/2009, but weirder. I remember in that time a lot of companies going through the motions as if everything was alright and they were still hiring just fine, but then not actually hiring in the way they were acting.
It seems weirder now partly because it isn't a clear across the board recession, though part of me keeps looking at quarterly earnings reports and the DOW and keeps wondering if we're still "early 2008" on that rather than "late 2009" and that it will get worse before it gets better.
Same. I'm still employed, but am looking. I've had a few interviews but they're all for jobs I wouldn't really want. I know talented people who were laid off and have been looking for 6 to 9 months+. It's very rough out there. I've witnessed the dot-com crash, great financial crisis... this is the worst I've seen. Maybe other industries are better.
This whole article is red flags. (Mental health issues including narcissism?)
- No mention of what specifically it does
- No mention of the advantages and stated reasons for having small std and core libs
- Libs mentioned as being "shipped" by the author have no commits by him or her.
- No comparison in the specifics to how it's handling
- Uses phrasing which might (IMO deliberately) confuse people into thinking this is official.
Recipes were the province of the wealthy. The average person would have had a very repetitive, bland, and potentially malnourishing diet. They might have had some herbs or even foraged like you say, that still is very bland and boring compared to what we’re used to.
From what I have read the diet of people in classical antiquity was only terrible for the very poor. Most people in ancient Rome got to, at least rarely, eat honey cakes and fresh fruit and dried fish and maybe once a year at festivals even a small chunk of meat. They grew chives, dill, garlic, asparagus, radish, parsley, thyme, mustard, cumin and many other spices. And they made vinegar and olive oil and garum (fermented fish sauce) on an industrial scale. Mostly these would be used as sparing garnish to the grain-centric diet. But usually present.
one thing to note is that while they may have consumed it they probably weren't making it. Particularly for urban dwellers, kitchens were very rudimentary if you even had one.
Similarly, poor people in Victorian England often ate out or ate cold meals, either because they did not have the means to cook, or because they could not afford to; pots were not really cheap, nor was cooking fuel. https://victorianweb.org/science/health/health8.html
Medieval Europeans had several times as many sorts of herbs and vegetables as we do. I can forage 20-100 species on my block alone in the city; none of those species are in our markets.
Our supermarkets specialize in those that provide maximum bang-for-buck, including transport costs. That really thins the selection.
up until maybe 200 years ago famines were a genuine and consistent threat even to places like Europe.
food wouldn't just have sucked, in many cases all you could eat would be some dried grain boiled to porridge, or the handful of semi-mouldy veggies that made it through winter months -- and many would often be lucky to even have that
