Glow is pretty great and has been around for a while:

How about how Claude 2.1.x is "literally unusable" because it frequently completely hangs (requires kill -9) and uses 100% cpu?

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18532

Likely a separate issue, but I also have massive slowdowns whenever the agent manages to read a particularly long line from a grep or similar (as in, multiple seconds before characters I type actually appear, and sometimes it's difficult to get claude code to register any keypresses at all).

Suspect it's because their "60 frames a second" layout logic is trying to render extremely long lines, maybe with some kind of wrapping being unnecessarily applied. Could obviously just trim the rendered output after the first, I dunno, 1000 characters in a line, but apparently nobody has had time to ask claude code to patch itself to do that.

What OS? Does this happen randomly, after long sessions, after context compression? Do you have any plugins / mcp servers running?

I used to have this same issue almost every session that lasted longer than 30 minutes. It seemed to be related to Claude having issues with large context windows.

It stopped happening maybe a month ago but then I had it happen again last week.

I realized it was due to a third-party mcp server. I uninstalled it and haven’t had that issue since. Might be worth looking into.

MacOS; no mcp; clear context; reliably reproducible when asking claude review a pr with a big VCR cassette.

Windows with no plugins and my Claude is exactly like this

might need to upgrade claude code

huh, well i got it on my work account, but my personal claude pro account still doesn't seem to have it available (2.0.76)

I realized recently that i somehow had been subscribed to prime disney+ for like 6 months.

It was _super_ annoying to figure out how to actually chat with a human, but once i did they gave me a refund for the full 6 months, simple as that.

Caveat: That's just for the first prompt.

Looks like there's an OSS app that does basically the same thing: https://github.com/starkdmi/BrightXDR

We're already there given the recent Tea app "hack".

It's surprising it doesn't mention the parallels of how both quaker and buddhists greatly revere and respect nature.

Quakers often like to worship outside and in forests. I’ve seen and sat in many a set of benches under trees.

> you still owe your users respect. You owe them dignity.

what does that even mean?

Users don't care if code is written by a human or AI; they care that the code gives them what they need, hopefully in a fairly pleasant manner.

I genuinely would have expected a $3,500+ setup to do better than just 10x pure-CPU on a AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS.

Find another laptop that does that well.
