ayhanfuat··on Claude Opus 5.5
Looks like Anthropic is starting to give bank reset as well:

> Reset for free: Get extra wiggle room to explore Opus 5.5. Expires Oct 22.

ayhanfuat··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I noticed they reset the usage and I was kind of happy because this week it was using my quota much faster; I assumed they fixed that. Apparently it is for the celebration of 5.1?

ayhanfuat··on Claude Code: Anatomy of a Misfeature
I really hate this direction both Anthropic and Open AI are following. They are in this silly competition whose model/harness can go unattended the longest, no matter what. And it is never explicit, you learn about it after you get bitten by it. Claude Code has auto mode which is supposed to take over permission prompts but no, they had to couple that with “I will assume this is what the user wants” and made it unusable.
ayhanfuat··on 30papers.com – Ilya's 30 essential ML papers, in a beginner friendly format
I think someone on Twitter made it up. It was also 40 papers, not 30. https://dallasinnovates.com/exclusive-qa-john-carmacks-diffe...

It is worth reading the interactive Times article. Amazing piece of work https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/21/us/trucks-suv...
ayhanfuat··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
They feel they're in a position to make important trade-off decisions on behalf of the user. "It's just slightly worse, I'll sneak this change in" is not something to be tolerated, whether it actually turns out to be much worse or not. Their adaptive thinking mess has caused a ton of work for me. I know a lot of people are saying Codex is actually better now. I don't agree but I'm switching to it because it's much more reliable.
ayhanfuat··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
Reading the "Going forward" section I see that they have zero understanding of the main complaints.
ayhanfuat··on Claude Design
Same for me. It jumped to 11% on the first prompt and now increasing steadily. I think I will hit the limits without seeing a hi-fi version.
ayhanfuat··on Pro Max 5x Quota Exhausted in 1.5 Hours Despite Moderate Usage
> * Turn on max thinking on every session. It save tokens overall because I’m not correcting it of having it waste energy on dead paths.

This is definitely true. Ever since I realized there is an /effort max option I am no longer fighting it that much and wasting hours.

ayhanfuat··on Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real
> Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.

> What is the recommendation here? Should the agent take everything published in a skeptical way?

Not everything. Maybe some things that are explicitly called made-up.

ayhanfuat··on Copilot edited an ad into my PR
I stand corrected. GitHub team confirmed it's their Copilot ad.
ayhanfuat··on Copilot edited an ad into my PR
Yes. The same message in GitLab: https://gitlab.tudelft.nl/thomasvermeule/GeneralAviationAirc...
ayhanfuat··on Show HN: Relay – The open-source Claude Cowork for OpenClaw
These seem misleading. Cowork's VM is not on Anthropic servers?

> Local file access >> Relay: Truly local >> Cowork: Sandboxed VM on Anthropic's servers

> The bottom line: Claude Cowork is excellent for personal productivity on Anthropic's cloud. Relay is for teams and companies that need data sovereignty, compliance-ready audit trails, and model freedom — all on their own infrastructure.

ayhanfuat··on How I'm Productive with Claude Code
I don't know if I am just in an unlucky A/B assignment or anything but I really don't understand people juggling multiple agent sessions. For me Opus 4.6 High performance went from unbelievable to mediocre. And this keeps happening making the whole agentic coding very unreliable and frustrating. I do use it but I have to babysit and I get overwhelmed even with a single session.
ayhanfuat··on Anthropic takes legal action against OpenCode
It revolves around how Open AI has much better models and how Claude Code engineers are a bunch of kids (which is kind of ironic).
ayhanfuat··on Death to Scroll Fade
It is partly to blame, yes. This is from Claude’s official frontend skill:

“Motion: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise.”

This is from 2015. Both technically and conceptually it was ahead of its time.
ayhanfuat··on Physics Girl: Super-Kamiokande – Imaging the sun by detecting neutrinos [video]
Such amazing news. She’s been bedridden due to long Covid. Got better a few times but after a while attacks came back. Both she and her husband showed great strength. So happy to see a new milestone.
ayhanfuat··on Microgpt explained interactively
You are absolutely right. The whole post reads like AI generated.
ayhanfuat··on Decision trees – the unreasonable power of nested decision rules
I am surprised r2d3's visual intro is not referenced here (https://r2d3.us/visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1/). I think it was the first (if not first, maybe most impactful) example for scroll triggered explainers.
ayhanfuat··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
I don't want to downplay the effort here but from my experience you can get yourself a neat interactive summary html with a short prompt and a good model (Opus 4.5+, Codex 5.2+, etc).

Did you type in your email? It seems already filled in because it shows you your email address as the placeholder text but you need to fill in.
ayhanfuat··on Tell HN: YC companies scrape GitHub activity, send spam emails to users
I am also getting constant spam because apparently they can see who starred a repo (i.e. I see you starred repo x and we are doing something similar). I am not starring anything anymore.
