I keep seeing people rt the claude-gzip tweet saying "oh this was so obvious, look they are discovering, this is what I do since 1942" meanwhile completely missing:
- large conversations have thinking signatures + images in b64 which are high in entropy = compression is not that efficient anyway
- rest would be hit or miss considering gzip adds latency on both sides => if you have decent bandwidth it might just hurt instead of helping
- rep. HTTP requests where you send entire transcripts is a horrible method of exchange, needlessly O(N^2)
- more importantly, since they have `store: true` implemented for API, just not OAuth, they clearly know how to optimize it just fine
> look at this [horrible] thing they just implemented! i would have implemented [horrible+1] on day 1, smh they are learning the fundamentals
like shut up man 🤣
