Moving from Claude to Proton Lumo
2 months ago
- The author previously used Anthropic's Claude LLMs for coding via a Kagi subscription, which they highly value for its search customizations and privacy policy.
- Kagi's Assistant offers frontier LLMs with strict privacy: data not used for training, no account info shared, threads deleted after 24 hours.
- The author also used Proton Lumo (free for paid Plus accounts) but found its models weak until the Lumo 2.0 upgrade introduced powerful models like GLM 5.2.
- Now confident in Lumo's capabilities for all tasks including coding, the author downgraded their Kagi subscription from Ultimate to Professional, losing access to frontier models.
- The author concludes by fully switching to Proton Lumo and notes the service has a cute cat mascot.
Claude, Teach Me Something
2 months ago
- The author developed a 'Teach me something' workflow using Claude to replace doom scrolling on Reddit.
- The workflow uses the Socratic method: Claude asks questions to gauge the user's knowledge and guide discovery rather than giving direct explanations.
- Topics are drawn from a diverse list of areas including programming, computer science, UX/UI, cybersecurity, machine learning, cooking, physics, economics, psychology, engineering, and music theory.
- Claude checks previous chats to avoid repeating topics and adjusts the lesson based on the user's prior knowledge.
- At the end of each session, Claude directs the user to primary sources (websites, papers, podcasts, books) for verification and deeper learning.
- A minor friction point is that Claude often names chats generically; the user asks Claude to suggest a name and manually renames the chat.
- The Socratic method is more effective than 'information-dumpy' explanations, leveraging LLMs' strengths in non-determinism and conversational text.
