I have been thinking about the difference between 'consumption' and 'creation' style hobbies lately. Spending time drinking different coffee beans, or collecting sneakers, I would call 'consumptive'. Writing a

I agree with this wholeheartedly! Even something a small as fixing up some horrific diverged orphaned git history can help me on a hobby project. And the fact that I see the commands that, or the way a containerfile/caddyfile is writte

I've found in (EU) academia at least that people essentially lie about how much work they do. In anglosphere it's far more common for people to be open/expectant of 80 hour weeks etc. Probably the lieing approach is better fo

Oh you mean literally claude code, not some hack like opencode? I guess that makes sense yeah, given the tmux interface.

There's just not that much IP in a UI like that. Every day we get articles on here that you can make an agent in 200 LOCs, Yegge's gas town in 2 weeks, etc. Training the model is the hard part, and what justifies a large valuation

I guess one issue is that you pay $200/month whether you use it or not. Potentially this could be better for Anthropic. What was not necessarily foreseeable (ok maybe it was) back when that started was that users have invented all kind

Is it that it's the best coding tool or the best model? I still get the best (most accurate) results out of anthropic models (but not out of CC).

Yeah fair, I could've chosen better words. My conclusion is: "I don't want to pay for that", not "they shouldn't be able to do that".

Unsure of the other competition, but I can vouch for synthetic.new's subscription for GLM (+ other open models). Note quite as accurate as Anthropic's models but good enough for basically everything I do.

IDK if Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, I don't think they should gate keep which client you access that service over. Or in other terms, I won't use a service that locks me into a client I don't like.

Maybe Anthropic saw Yegge's gas town concept and got scared off?

Statistical algorithms always make more concrete assumptions of the signal. DFT / Fourier transforms are great as they are a direct mathematical operation, that maps neatly to (basic) equations. There's a lot you can do, and easil

Not a particularly fair comparison, the DFT is a non-statistical operation.

Why can't `if condition { panic(err) }' be used in go as an assert equivalent?
