Uber president Andrew Macdonald (pictured) says its “hard to draw a line” between AI spending and deliverable features. | Photo: Zed Jameson/Bloomberg via Getty Images After reportedly exhausting its annual AI budget just four months into 2026, Uber is now questioning whether it's actually seeing meaningful returns on its investments. In an interview with Rapid Response, Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said the company isn't seeing a connection between rising token consumption for Claude Code and more useful features being delivered to consumers. "That link is not ...

Hello, I'm on Windows having setup both Claude Code App and Terminal, but I find the App simply more convenient to use. I have had several people pushing me to use the Terminal saying "the App is low" and "Terminal is so much better" ... but when I inquired none of those people could actually name a single thing that the App would be missing (everything they mentioned the App has as well) or a single concrete reason why I should switch to Terminal beside vague phrases So is the terminal substantially better than the App in something, are there reasons to switch besides being used to it and p...

No request running overnight, yet 61 Gb, my computer only has 24 RAM, so it probably went digging into the SSD. Should I be concerned? Anyone got that?

Paper came out recently that formalizes something a lot of agent builders have been doing ad hoc. They use a frontier model to propose bounded edits (add/delete/replace) to markdown skill files, then gate every edit against a held out validation set. Only strict improvements accepted, ties rejected, rejected edits become negative signal for the next round. Few things worth noting: Best skills converge with 1 to 4 accepted edits out of many more proposals. Edit budget of 4 to 8 per step works best, remove the cap and performance collapses. Median final skill is \~920 tokens. A skill optim...

Haven’t you heard? White-collar jobs are going away, decimated by AI. Waves of layoffs in the tech sector (most recently at Coinbase and Meta and Cisco) are said to presage what will soon come for all of us knowledge workers. But before you quit your job as a software developer or financial analyst—or tech journalist—and…

Artificial intelligence has not so far produced a clean story of mass unemployment. Aggregate employment in developed countries remains broadly stable, and recent assessments have found limited evidence that AI has shifted the headline numbers. But a troubling change may be hiding beneath the surface: the quiet weakening of the first rung of the career…

The original post was removed by Reddit Filters, so I made new one with same content. I just got my results back today and managed to snag the Early Adopter badge as well. Following up on my recent DP-600 certification, I really wanted to validate my architecture skills specifically on the Anthropic side. The exam covers a lot of practical ground on prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows efficiently, and handling Human-in-the-Loop workflows.

I noticed that Claude Code was giving me a lot of unsolicited caveats with phrasing like "honest caveat" or "genuine caveat" when this kind of hedging was absolutely unnecessary. I figured other people might be seeing the same thing so my instinct was to use Google Ngram but the cutoff year of 2022 meant that I had to use a different method. So I used Google search with quotes around the phrase "honest caveat" and set the time bound to different time intervals and compared the number of search results as a proxy for how usage has changed over time in indexed pages. As it turns out, while del...

I see in non coding related chats claude is always guided by the memory file and its responses are shaped by it. I feel like if you had a really solid memory file you could make a lot more progress with life related things and other discussions with claude. Anyone explored this?

Here's the PR by pedapudi. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/21344 It's merge request has been denied so it will not be in mainline llama.cpp. The changes are so small that I just put them into whatever the current release of llama.cpp is. Read the PR for more info. It will only work with MOEs. Also, it gives the most boost at low context. As the context rises, the gain diminishes. Pedapudi explains why that happens in the PR. Here are some numbers. It really works well. The tiny amount of time it takes me to apply the code to the current release of llama.cpp is time well spent. ...

Good news: I just got a human email reply from a problem I submitted to Anthropic support. Bad news: Problem occurred in *January.* They're literally running a 4 month backlog on support requests. Probably more than that now, if they're spending time responding to 4 months stale requests. The email I got didn't address the problem at all, just asked "Is this still a problem?"

The ROI, bang for the buck is in a free fall. Four prompts and I hit the session limit. And then a huge chunk of my limit after finally running the script to produce the actual document. That's so restrictive that it makes it hard to make much of value.
