I've commented on this ticket before: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8477#issuec...

The thinking mode is super-useful to me as I _often_ saw the model "think" differently from the response. Stuff like "I can see that I need to look for x, y, z to full understand the problem" and then proceeds to just not do that.

This is helpful as I can interrupt the process and guide it to actually do this. With the thinking-output hidden, I have lost this avenue for intervention.

I also want to see what files it reads, but not necessarily the output - I know most of the files that'll be relevant, I just want to see it's not totally off base.

Tl;dr: I would _love_ to have verbose mode be split into two modes: Just thinking and Thinking+Full agent/file output.

---

I'm happy to work in verbose mode. I get many people are probably fine with the standard minimal mode. But at least in my code base, on my projects, I still need to perform a decent amount of handholding through guidance, the model is not working for me the way you describe it working for you.

All I need is a few tools to help me intervene earlier to make claude-code work _much_ better for me. Right now I feel I'm fighting the system frequently.

I'm a screen reader user and CTO of an accessibility company. This change doesn't reduce noise for me. It removes functionality.

Sighted users lost convenience. I lost the ability to trust the tool. There is no "glancing" at terminal output with a screen reader. There is no "progressive disclosure." The text is either spoken to me or it doesn't exist.

When you collapse file paths into "Read 3 files," I have no way to know what the agent is doing with my codebase without switching to verbose mode, which then dumps subagent transcripts, thinking traces, and full file contents into my audio stream. A sighted user can visually skip past that. I listen to every line sequentially.

You've created a situation where my options are "no information" or "all information." The middle ground that existed before, inline file paths and search patterns, was the accessible one.

This is not a power user preference. This is a basic accessibility regression. The fix is what everyone in this thread has been asking for: a BASIC BLOODY config flag to show file paths and search patterns inline. Not verbose mode surgery. A boolean.

Please just add the option.

And yes, I rewrote this with Claude to tone my anger and frustration down about 15 clicks from how I actually feel.

What most people don't realise is that this enshittification has been ongoing since a long time, about the time of Windows 8 and the introduction of "Metro"/UWP apps. The Control Panel was the first victim - replaced by the shitty Settings app which we saw in Win10. But along the way, MS have been slowly replacing the good ol' small and fast win32 apps with highly bloated UWP versions. It's not just Notepad now, every core Windows app is a UWP app.

People don't realise how much bloat this is. The new Snipping tool for instance is 449 MEGABYTES, whereas it used to be only a few KB in size. Same with Paint, Calculator etc - all bloated UWP apps.

UWP was a mistake, they should've stuck to win32, at least for core apps.

Fair enough. No one has an obligation to write open source code, do what you enjoy. I also don't mind paying for software, but in terms of economic impact, there were many businesses that would not have existed were it not for open source. They would have been choked out by the OS vendor or some other critical vendor that would have used their position in the tech stack to drive the independent vendor out.

If you think MS is bad, wait until you need the permission of IBM or ATT to write some server code. Google is starting to do well in search? Well, the OS vendor just changed their license to require revenue sharing for that. Don't like it? Write your own OS and drivers. BIOS, too, while we are at it.

So I'm glad open source exists, and it allows people to write closed source code ontop of it whenever they want without paying taxes to people who own the tech stack you need.

> That would make sense if apps like Twitter or Reddit were banned from the app store or had also decided to ban NSFW content, but they seem to be getting along fine with their verification-free "click here if you're an adult" systems. Why was Tumblr different?

The official Reddit app was still relatively new, but various third party reddit apps had occasionally got in trouble for nsfw content on reddit. Twitter had a lot more direct relationship with Apple than the third party reddit apps or Yahoo/Tumblr at that point.

- Removed from App Store: November 16th (https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/20/18104366/tumblr-ios-app-...)

- Mass purge of NSFW blogs: November 19th (https://www.pcmag.com/news/tumblrs-child-porn-crackdown-ensn...)

- Official ban on NSFW content announced: December 3rd (https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/3/18123752/tumblr-adult-con...)

- Restored to app store: December 13th (https://web.archive.org/web/20220112052215/https://9to5mac.c...)

Now, _could_ Tumblr have tightened up CSAM prevention without banning all regular adult NSFW content too? Probably. But given Apple had gone nuclear on them, the decision was made to err on the safe side as it was a lot easier to enforce a blanket no NSFW policy than a policy that allows nude 19 year olds but blocks nude 17 year olds, especially given the variation in body types people have.

And sure, there were people within Yahoo who had wanted a no-NSFW policy for a long while to make Tumblr more advertiser friendly and they probably pushed for the more total NSFW ban too. But honestly Tumblr was mostly in its arms length neglect phase at that point and "do whatever Apple wants to make this go away" was the driving motivation.

The Amazon Knight (2028): Batman hacks Ring cameras to track down the Joker, showing himself to be a rebellious vigilante who's not afraid to break a company's ToS to make justice happen. After the job is done, cut to a montage of Batman telling an Amazon worker about Wayne Enterprises' new villain-detection technology that could be used to upgrade Ring, then screwing in cameras in every room of every building of the city, and then proudly telling the bystanders that they won't have to suffer any more. He's invited to a ceremony where Jeff Bezos thanks him. A swarm of anti-evil Amazon drones takes off, flooding the city streets. The morning sun rises over Gotham City, colors become more saturated, faint shots of executing every criminal in the city can be heard. The civilians run to the streets to cheer it on, finally free from oppression. The screen fades to white, revealing the Ring Camera Pro 3 Batman Edition, complete with a Batman logo on its black outer shell. "Now only $99! (Available for free in partner municipalities)"

This doesn't mean money has no power over you.

Perhaps the billionaire can't buy your willingness to do something, but they can very much affect the material world around you, and therefore, you.

If you rent they can probably find a way to kick you out of your apartment. If someone around you _is_ willing to take an order, influencing what people around you do very much influences you. If they want something from you, and you're not willing to sell it, there will be people willing to steal it, etc.

Money very much is proxy of power. Perhaps not everything can be bought, sure. But money gives you operational range to attempt to impose your will when it doesn't.

No thanks. I want packages delivered when I’m not home. If i want it to be handed to me I can require it be handed to me, picked up, or delivered to a nearby store. If I wanted to go pick up a package I would just go to the store in the first place.

Most stuff doesn’t matter, and is rarely stolen. If something matters I’ll just have the delivery company do what I guess is required in where you live, I can choose.

Thats great that you can correctly manage a compost pile. That level of conscientiousness is a quality that doesn't seem common across the population.

A positive thing about a landfill is that it can take advantage of centralization by capturing biogas created by the large quantities of biodegradable material deposited.

> I feel like on an economic basis, the dollar is at risk.

The dollar weakness is due to the faltering economy which in turn is caused by policies pushing erratic tariffs, monopolization and cartelization of the economy, malinvestment and market bubbles propped by banana-republic money printing.

> Even if he didn’t insult and threaten other countries,

That triggers anti-American sentiments abroad which provide public support for anti-American economic policies. The actions of the US administration are very consistent and in apparent pursuit of a single purpose - which has nothing to do with what the top elected officials think it is.

claiming something is a tiny percentage while not providing numbers is just a failed argument

you've not properly accounted for anything in support of your own argument through anything other than anecdotes and insults

given i havent provided data, ive certainly not provided insults

there's the cement to hold the turbine in place, the production of the turbine, the making of the materials that go into it, and the transportation of everything in this chain of events

even the mining of the materials has environmental impacts that aren't easily quantifiable, you've simply peaked through a door that most people can't realistically walk through

i have a hard time believing you've somehow accounted for all of these things in privileged enough manner to go around calling other people stupid

there's all sorts of environmental impacts that are simply difficult to calculate

and whales are a big topic, as the same people making the wind turbines are the ones whose overfishing are hurting the population (the chinese). should providing money for their economy via the purchase of wind turbines effect the number of whales being hunted, then what's the difference? the changing pH isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be, and it's not widely consistent across the entire ocean either, none of this is simple enough to just brush off

I'll add a counterpoint that in many situations (especially monorepos for complex businesses), it's easy for any LLM to go down rabbit holes. Files containing the word "payment" or "onboarding" might be for entirely different DDD domains than the one relevant to the problem. As a CTO touching all sorts of surfaces, I see this problem at least once a day, entirely driven by trying to move too fast with my prompts.

And so the very first thing that the LLM does when planning, namely choosing which files to read, are a key point for manual intervention to ensure that the correct domain or business concept is being analyzed.

Speaking personally: Once I know that Claude is looking in the right place, I'm on to the next task - often an entirely different Claude session. But those critical first few seconds, to verify that it's looking in the right place, are entirely different from any other kind of verbosity.

I don't want verbose mode. I want Claude to tell me what it's reading in the first 3 seconds, so I can switch gears without fear it's going to the wrong part of the codebase. By saying that my use case requires verbose mode, you're saying that I need to see massive levels of babysitting-level output (even if less massive than before) to be able to do this.

(To lean into the babysitting analogy, I want Claude to be the babysitter, but I want to make sure the babysitter knows where I left the note before I head out the door.)

This is all intentional. The film is emulating the type of film that would be produced by this fascist regime, of course it isn't going to include proof of the fascists being wrong. But we also don't see any evidence in support of their claims of an "existential threat" beyond the fascists claiming there is one. And since it's from the fascist perspective, the lack of evidence justifying their actions ends up supporting the idea that there is no real justification for their actions.

The movie's goal is showing the attractiveness of fascism and showing that people like you are incredibly open to fascist ideologies as long as the fascists have a scary "other" to put forward as an existential threat regardless of how real that threat truly is.

Yeah I was talking about this with some friends..

Sure historically you could probably take educated guesses with a little homework on PAC donations, etc.. as to how different CEOs voted. And occasionally they took (or more often, they would allow their company PR department to take) stands on the social issues on the day.

But we are in entirely uncharted waters the last 2 years of CEOs going all-in fanboying, actively campaigning for, debasing themselves with political swag, and enabling the grifting of the current administration. In some cases we have wild eyed conspiracy theory posting and accusations of treason/disloyalty/whatever against the other party by said CEOs (and VC bros).

Insanely, many of these CEOs run companies where the US government is one of their main customers. Eventually the parties rotate, and these guys have opened themselves up to a large backlash.

Corporations do whatever is in their financial interest, provided it is legal. They're neither good or evil. (If they were DnD characters their alignment would be "lawful greedy".) What is legal is determined by governments, who are elected by individuals like you.

This is why people need to be reminded of the impact and causes of climate change. You can't just say, "Oil corporations are evil" and absolve yourself of responsibility. That's how nothing gets done. Corporations are not going to stop being "evil" of their own accord. They're going to obey the laws and regulations set forth by the governments they operate under.

Americans elected a president who openly campaigned on bringing back coal and said, "Drill baby drill!". Oil executives made campaign donations but, ultimately, this is the fault of Americans. They're not educated enough and they tolerate too much money in their politics. Scapegoating oil companies does nothing to solve these problems.

Good point. I've always found high humidity makes things a lot more unpleasant unless the temperature is in a fairly narrow range around 71°F or so. It intensifies the heat of course, but IME it also makes chilly weather a lot harsher too. I get uncomfortably cold really easily when it's e.g. 51°F with a cool damp ocean breeze in places like SF or Monterey, but when I go to the mountains in winter, 25-32°F is totally comfortable -- even in literally the same clothing. I think it must be partly a psychological effect, but humidity seems to play a role too (along with other factors like IR reflection off the snow).

I think it’s because in the early 2010’s these companies were doing truly awesome things, at least in my pov. Google search felt like magic and a portal to a web you could only imagine, facebook actually connected you with friends, nothing like amazon ecommerce had existed yet, cloud shit was insanely cool. Hell, my primary motivation in pursuing my degree was to work at google. I recoil in horror thinking about it now.

I think the trust gained there will be hard to break from people, that in my experience, genuinely do not realize what a complete 180 these companies have done. I sometimes wonder and am fearful at what type of thing would need to happen before people en masse realize it.

I feel like the difference between Steve Jobs’ and Tim Cook’s leadership styles is that Cook is really good at optimizing existing processes, but does not have the vision to capitalize on what’s next.

Apple got into the smartphone game at the right time with a lot of new ideas. But whatever the next big shift in technology is, they will be left behind. I don’t know if that is AI, but it’s clear that in AI they are already far behind other companies.

You must be new. The Constitution is an irrelevant piece of toilet paper now.

The first amendment only protects you unless the people in power say it doesn't. The government will pressure private companies to censor you. This was provably demonstrated under the Biden administration.

The second amendment is useless. One third to half of the country doesn't recognize the right to keep the majority of the useful arms that exist, nor the right to bear them in any meaningful way. The (Republican-leaning) Supreme Court has decided that states requiring permission slips to exercise a right is a totally valid precedent. The Republican district attorney for D.C. proudly states that having a gun there for any reason is an immediate offense. Donald Trump has been recorded suggesting to take guns from people before due process. And that's ignoring the Democrats' unfathomably large track record against this amendment. I just wanted to include the fact that neither side actually supports this amendment, as much as people like to believe.

Third amendment is pretty obscure in our era. So far, at least. But you could make the roundabout argument that the Biden admin preventing landlords from evicting their unpaying tenants, particularly if those tenants were currently or previously employed by the military, would violate this amendment.

Fourth amendment doesn't matter anymore. We have entire government agencies whose primary purpose is to ignore this amendment. It's not even a conspiracy, nor a conspiracy theory. They do it in plain sight, and everyone knows, but apparently nobody cares (in which case why does the amendment even matter). Also, as long as the government gets the data from private companies (even if by force), that apparently doesn't constitute a fourth amendment violation these days.

Fifth amendment: civil asset forfeiture is disgustingly rampant all across the country. Not enough people know about it or care.

Sixth amendment: the term "speedy" regarding trials is an extremely loose one, especially now. Especially considering the government is apparently allowed to hold you indefinitely without an actual trial, without facing any repercussions.

Eighth amendment: judges impart excess fines quite often. See the Alex Jones case.

Ninth amendment: completely irrelevant now. If the government believes they have the right, though not explicitly enumerated, then they have the right.

Same applies to other industries too btw, in drones world, so many companies that you see their names with multi billions contracts, but if you open the hood and see their hardware/software, it’s built on top of everyday open source tools duct taped together with some UI, and sales selling it as the next big (insert buzzword here) thing ever!

I had to fix a wheel bearing on my car in winter, no garage, just in the driveway.
I was telling my Aussie dad it’s hard to be outside, lying on the ground etc when the air temp is past about -35.

He said why not wait till the sun comes out and it warms up?
The temp only goes up a couple of degrees during the day.

He also beats up the Joker while he's in custody, because you gotta stop the badguy at all costs. And then there's Cops vs Protestors brawl in the other Nolan batman.

There is, admittedly, a precedent within the basic premise of the Batman story itself (and Frank Miller, author of the Dark Knight Returns comic is a noted right-wing libertarian) so in the case of that franchise, Nolan isn't inventing whole-cloth but it's also not something that's limited to just his Dark Knight films

One thing that is lost when using auto cameras is using focus & DOF as part of composition. With an auto-everything camera, the only part the user does is frame the shot. But composing requires thought about where you choose to place the focal plane, and the depth of field. Also lost with auto digital is pre-visualisation. No need for it as most people just bang off shots & look at the result. The delay of seeing film developed means film prohotographers learn to previz their shots. Less and better.

I hear what you're saying but also have lately felt a lot of frustration with this framing. I definitely agree that large corporations share an outsized portion of the blame; they have misled and misdirected us past the brink of crisis in pursuit of profit. And as you point out, one of the special cruelties of their system is that it prearranges individual consumer options so that we have the illusion of choice, but ultimately wind up complicit no matter what we choose. Thus its incumbent on us (collectively) to make a decision that's not on the menu we've been handed. But (critically) its still going to be individuals making that choice. It's not enough to merely topple Big Oil at a social scale, we will also have to give up our F-450s and sprawling SFH tracts with four car garages. It's not necessarily fair, and it's not necessarily our fault, but it's still our responsibility (because it's ultimately our future that's at risk).

Quite unlikely. For an army on the move, especially one that had to cover such a long distance, a considerable portion of the troops was assigned to procure provisions anyway.

Bret C. Devereaux has written a series of three blog posts on the topic of pre-modern army logistics that explains that in detail. See: https://acoup.blog/2022/07/15/collections-logistics-how-did-...

artists dont do "normal" and generaly experience reality from a particular, and personal point of view, and grocerie store managers and young artists will almost certainly have mutualy antagonistic points of view. artists thrive in random spontainious environments, but forget about food, so we give them money, that they give to normal grocery store clerks, and we all forgo the seething frustration that would result from your suggestion.
