Thank you! This is much more nuanced than my understanding so far!

Anthropic very explicitly says below their diagrams ( https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/contex... ) on this:

"Stripping extended thinking: Extended thinking blocks (shown in dark gray) are generated during each turn's output phase, but are not carried forward as input tokens for subsequent turns. You do not need to strip the thinking blocks yourself. The Claude API automatically does this for you if you pass them back."

It's more nuanced in the various modes, but i haven't seen it boil down towards Thinking Tokens surviving more than two turns.

I've thought about the high-jacking of reasoning-chains as a potential vector, but never saw a proven implementation in american models since, from my understanding, all major vendors throw out the reasoning tokens between turns.

As part of my consulting, i've stumbled upon this issue in a commercial context. A SaaS company who has the mobile apps of their platform open source approached me with the following concern.

One of their engineers was able to recreate their platform by letting Claude Code reverse engineer their Apps and the Web-Frontend, creating an API-compatible backend that is functionally identical.

Took him a week after work. It's not as stable, the unit-tests need more work, the code has some unnecessary duplication, hosting isn't fully figured out, but the end-to-end test-harness is even more stable than their own.

"How do we protect ourselves against a competitor doing this?"

Noodling on this at the moment.

Wild to me that this developer has no access to a device with gigabit ethernet.

Time really does fly.

I hope there's an uncensored version of the Internet Archive somewhere, I wish I could look at my website ca. 2001, but I think it got removed because of some fraudulent DMCA claim somewhere in the early 2010s.

Finally someone mentions Refact, I was in contact with the team, rooting for them really.

Is this a me thing, or a millenial thing?

I hate using voice for anything. I hate getting voice messages, I hate creating them. I get cold sweats just thinking about having to direct 10 AI Agents via voice. Just give me a keyboard and a bunch of screens, thanks.

This is gut-wrenching to read from Germany.

I grew up with a mentality of "you can't do that, there's a rule against that" and had to slowly break out of it as much as I could. Just knowing that there's people like you out there makes me happy. I applaud your freedom.

Interesting that they tie the glasses so into this new app, while all AI functionality of the glasses still being disabled in the EU.

What Kagi or anyone could work on, is an actually working version of YouTube Kids.

I literally Pi-Hole Blocked all of YouTube after my son started reading the Bible after a Minecraft Influencer started preaching throughout most of his videos to the point my son became a bit too much interested in the topic.

Not that I'm a rabid atheist or would deny my child such a thing, but if THAT can enter my 8yr olds brain via his short allowed time where he can browse by himself, i'm worried what else is coming his way through it.

I'd love to give him access to valuable videos between rules I describe by natural language and can test myself, but nothing like this exists.
