Tamil Nadu had state elections on May 4. I wanted to see if I could build a better results site than what exists (everything out there is ad-ridden, slow, and unusable on mobile). Started building on May 2 with Claude as my coding partner. The constraint: spend nothing. Zero hosting, zero domain, zero database. The solution ended up being stupidly simple. A Python script on my laptop scrapes all 234 constituency pages from the Election Commission (they don't have an API, just raw HTML pages),stitches the data together, and pushes it to Cloudflare's free key-value store. Their CDN serves...

r/ClaudeAI • also crosspost to r/LocalLLaMA and r/artificial I lost $187 to this and want to save others the same headache. **What happened** I run Claude Code headlessly via Windows Task Scheduler. My project repo has a `.env` file with `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set — legitimately, for a separate Express server doing AI-based transaction classification. Nothing to do with Claude Code itself. Claude Code reads environment variables from the `.env` in its working directory on launch. When it finds `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` there, it silently uses that key for billing instead of your OAuth ...

GPT-5.5 achieves first solve on ProgramBench hard/extreme tasks, substantially outperforming Claude Opus 4.7 on novel SWE benchmark.

Open-source TUI tool provides visibility into Claude Code agent loops, costs, and security issues; author reports $14K spend, 20% wasted iterations, and 3 credential leaks over 90 days.

So I thought I was assigning Claude a simple task of uploading a hero image from a folder within Cowork to a Wordpress page using the MCP connector. First it tried to compress the hell out of the image... nobody asked it to do that, then it went through all kinds of failed attempts to upload the image using bizarre methodologies. It rewrote the entire page content, despite me explicitly telling it to just edit the block in question.... *three times* in the same chat for other operations which were equally wasteful. It literally took 20 minutes and expended 60% of my tokens to perform this si...

Reddit user complaint about Claude API plan limits and rate-cap implementation, claims marketing misrepresented compute capacity gains.

Been using Claude Code heavily and kept running into the same thing everyone here talks about: the model ignores your rules. You tell it to write tests first, it writes the implementation. You give it coding standards, it cherry-picks which ones to follow. And as your rulebook grows, you're burning more and more tokens stuffing everything into context when only a handful of rules are relevant to what you're working on. So I built Writ. Two pieces: A retrieval engine that picks only the relevant rules and skills for the current task. It runs a five stage pipeline over a Neo4j knowledge graph...

Claude Haiku vulnerable to multi-turn prompt injection via fictional rule construction and word-filling technique.

Wedding guest deployed Claude-based concierge; users attempted jailbreak attempts as second most common interaction.

Morning Everyone! Big one today (**104 changes!**): Claude Code just went async. The new `/goal` command lets you set a completion condition ("all tests pass and the PR is ready"), then Claude keeps grinding across turns until it's hit. The new `claude agents` view shows every session you've got running: working, blocked on you, or done. Translation: kick off a goal -> let claude cook -> come back later. First proper fire-and-forget loop CC has shipped. Pretty huge unlock if you've been juggling multiple sessions and losing track of which one needs you. Full notes: [https://www.luk...

Reddit user asks whether Claude Opus 4.7 has improved since launch complaints, seeking coding performance comparison to 4.6.

OpenAI is launching Daybreak, an AI initiative focused on detecting and patching vulnerabilities before attackers find them. Daybreak uses the Codex Security AI agent that launched in March to create a threat model based on an organization's code and focus on possible attack paths, validate likely vulnerabilities, and then automate the detection of the higher risk ones. Its launch comes just over a month after rival Anthropic announced Claude Mythos, a security-focused AI model it claimed was too dangerous to publicly release and only shared privately as a part of its own initiative, dubbed P...

I noticed the core pillars are: Helpful, Honest, Harmless and User Autonomy. However, Sonnet 4.6 I noticed follows the same output in conversation at the very first sight of emotions. * "I hear you" / acknowledgment * "You're not crazy for feeling this way" / validation * "Real talk:" / transition phrase * Sanitized summary / safe conclusion I use Claude for research, daily planning and as a thought partner. But I find 4.6, as well do many others, to be unusable compared to 4.5 because of such rigid formatting. Also, users were given a weeks notice of its imminent retirement. However, I'...

Reddit user reports Claude responds to requests to auto-name conversations, a minor UX workaround for chat organization.

I’ve used Claude for a long time and created various style guides with specific tones/voice and structure. Sonnet 4.6 can follow structure but that’s where it begins and ends. Claude models have always been able to emulate different styles of writing but with sonnet 4.6 it can no longer do that…what’s going on? Can any of the models emulate different kinds of writing styles anymore? Sonnet 4.5 can…
