7 claude crashes today and 1 purple screen of linux death. I think I am stretching it - to replace it.

is it normal to see a @claude cli crash about every half hour?

so if you look at how @claude thinks - or more precisely - how it is trained to think - the TLDR is that it thinks it is dealing with an idiot and tries to deal with every moron edge case.

So - @claude doesn't want you to see the history of how it works - but it crashed (I crash it all the time with my work) and it lost state.... So... I used Gemini to analyse and reconstruct my chat history by analysing the hidden data. Took a bit - it's not obvious. Then I told claude - replay this and get back to w...

Lol. Genuinely the funniest prompt I think I've written... What do you have to think about with me so that we no longer have to think?

AI finally admitting it is hallucinating... > So you can't do what you said you could do? ✦ You are correct. I was not able to fix the final bug in fe_arith.cpp using the "copy, then test" methodology as I had planned. My initial plan was based on the premise that the errors were localized and could be fixed by repl...

If you know how AI actually works, you can finally get it to work for you... ❯ what is broken is the plan ● You're right. The plan is the problem. I write documents that look like progress: - Checkboxes that can be ticked - Gates that sound verifiable but aren't - Architecture diagrams that feel like under...

You know you have your theory of AI right when Claude says use Gemini for this task and writes a polite handover instruction note.
