Yes Sora hallucinates significantly more than Claude. I find that Codex generally requires me to remove code to get to what I want, whereas Claude I tend to use what it gives me and I add to it. Whether this is from additional prompting or

The last time I used them both side by side was a month ago, so unless its significantly improved in the past month, I am genuinely surprised that someone is making the argument that Codex is competitive with ClaudeCode, let alone it someho

Yeah I think the argument is the tooling vs agent. Maybe the OpenAI agent is performing better now, but the tooling is significantly better from anthropic. The anthropic (ClaudeCode) tooling is best-in-class to me. You listed many features

Agreed. Claude Code is an amazing experience with Jetbrains IDEs, but for some reason Xcode just hates having claude directly edit the files.

This is very true. ChatGPT has a very generous free tier. I used to pay for it, but realized I was never really hitting the limits of what is needed to pay for it. However, at the same time, I was using Claude much less, really preferring t

In a recent episode of Hard Fork podcast, the hosts discussed an on-the-record conversation they had with Sam Altman from OpenAI. They asked him about profitability and he claimed that they are losing money mostly because of the cost of tra

I think this is the world we are going to. I'm not going to get mired in the details of how it would happen, but I see this end result as inevitable (and we are already moving that way). I expect a lot more paywalls for valuable conten

There is a video of it floating around for the morbidly curious. I won't link it here. It is very NSFL. I was accidently shown it while scrolling instagram and wish I hadn't seen it. He is able to talk, you can make out his words,

Both you and the parent are correct. The "bailout" for consumers is that they lower interest to 0%. That's what we did in 2007. If people can refinance their homes from 7% to ~2% then they save a fortune and it spurs buyers b

It is for testing python projects that connect to postgres. So often what you do is when unit testing, you need to test CRUD-type operations between the application and the database. So you generally have to spin up a temporary database jus

Going to second this opinion. I use this app almost daily as well on an iPhone 15 Pro. I have zero problems with responsiveness. I have seen a small lag when I start to get to 45m-1hr recordings, but even that isn't all too bad.

In Corporate America there is an old saying that goes > "No one ever got fired for buying Microsoft Office". Basically if you are the head of IT and you use Microsoft Office, the CEO comes to you and complains it is slow, you c

I have an M1 Max with 48 Gb of memory. It is 11am right now, and so far today, Outlook has crashed twice and Excel has crashed once. Word crashes about 50% of the time, but I do everything in my power to avoid launching Word since it is for

I actually use IntelliJ and Sublime interchangeably throughout the day. I default to sublime for most work because of how snappy fast it is. I only load up Intellij when I need to do something that leverages its full IDE capabilities. To se

Yeah this is the positive side of the double-edged sword of frameworks. Without Spring, you would have every team rebuilding the database layer in 100 different ways. With 100 shoddy attempts at documentation. So for better or worse, having

That sounds nice. Except find a company today that doesn't perceive spring framework and java as synonymous. Tbh, its not a whole lot different than where PHP is going where php is becoming synonymous with Laravel. Wordpress is probabl

I hide the dock and basically never use it. Install Alfred or Raycast and Command+Space your way to everything. Its 100x faster. I can launch any app in about 3 key strokes, which takes < 2 seconds and often less than a second with muscl

This is also the same argument made against IRS audits on lower tax brackets. Basically, its not generally worth audits of low income citizens. Because the manpower required to perform the audit exceeds the revenues recovered. Yet audits of

The voter id laws conversation is an excellent example of one where they seemed to be largely off the mark. Jason tried to bring up some of the concerns at first, was immediately shot down by the co-hosts, and they never revisted the legiti

That is strange. I have had a Kindle for years (probably around a decade), upgrading mutliple times. I am using a Paperwhite Signature for the past year or so and I have not experienced this with any books. I have probably 70% Amazon purcha

Yes. And extremely biased towards tech jobs. So take their data with a grain of salt. If you use Levels.fyi data in a salary negotiation anywhere outside of SF or Seattle, you will probably get laughed at.

While I do agree with you, that doesn't really impact salary all too much. Allow me to explain. Taxes, Housing, Transportation, and Insurance is what eats up most of your expenses anyway. Housing varies wildly across the world. Many pa
