I wasn't trying to be precise originally, I just tried to fit activities into "morning / evening" buckets. I did the whole itinerary with Opus first, but when I gave it to Gemini 3.7 Flash to review, it started correctin

Eh that one is on me, if I think too much about my HN comment I end up deleting before posting it. I rely on the 1 min `delay` set in the profile page to fix before it goes live, but for some reason this time it was set to 0.

I asked Claude to fix the grammar of my comment, and it changed "I am using 3.7 for" to "I've been using Claude 3.7", so they sneaked their own name on it.

I've been using Gemini 3.7 for my personal trip planning app. Across multiple benchmarks, it ranks higher on everything I tried: - Real world knowledge (when a thing opens and closes, the geographic region, historical facts). It's

I tried doing something like this Ox Alpha with Opus advisor, having it work layer by layer (specs -> rooms -> room graphs ...), but each deliverable ended up a mess. The curious thing is when I pointed out the flaws it fixed them qui

Serious answer: no model ever gets close to writing an architectural floor plan that makes sense. They understand all the rules and best practices, they can (sometimes) spot a bad idea in a floor plan, they can describe a good floor plan. B

Opus 5 feels like a downgrade from Opus 4.8 overall. It, along with Fable, really has a problem following instructions and staying in scope, and their prose keeps growing, both in explaining what it did and in writing multiline code comment

I used to do that, but the person could be bad at prompting too (which is often why the LLM couldn't give a good answer in the first place). So the polite version I use now is: "Hey, just to get a bit more context, what was the or

The new rule here requires you to pay for part of your imports (up to ~60%), even if you export more. I know people who installed batteries in the inverters because of this. It is more expensive overall (hybrid inverter + LFP batteries) but

When COVID hit, I knew a lot of engineers who decided to move to rural areas / small farms because they could leverage Starlink to work remotely. Last year, when I asked whether they still liked Starlink, all of them said it is amazing

I feel the same way about consumer AI tools now. Gemini and ChatGPT have been abysmal lately. They can no longer be relied on to do multi-turn searching and thinking. Before, they could stay in thinking mode for more than 7 minutes. For exa

From what you said: Not looking at code is bad, not because Claude can slip a few bugs (it can), but because LLMs tend to default to writing more code and features than needed, which isn't a good thing. I see a lot of people making 10+

This post needs some examples, because I have never had an interaction with Claude that made me think this way. LLMs generally have a way to "play a role" (most earlier prompt guides ask you to start with "You are a <role&

I tested it to fix React Native bugs in a project, comparing it with Opus. It fared better on harder bugs, taking less time to find the root cause, but after implementing a fix, it spent a lot of time and effort on validation. This was most

Fable feels like a version of Opus running on a harness that won't let it halt until it's sure the issue is fixed, which makes sense if what you want is a model that's better at benchmarks. It's a very good model, but it

It is hallucinating many flights in my region, some that never existed (so it is not an outdated data problem). I also see some logic flaws. It overlooks the option of going to a major hub to access faster aircraft, rather than hopping on l

This oil crisis was a huge boon for EVs. In Brazil, despite the "hate" most people have against EVs, BYD went from breaking into the top 10 in March to taking the #1 spot in consumer sales for the first time ever.

I think the main point is that "reinventing the wheel" has become cheap, not software design itself. For example, when a designer sends me the SVG icons he created, I no longer need to push back against just using a library. Inste

Not sure if WhatsApp paid off, though. There are reports of up to $1 billion in annual revenue with the Business API, so this is far less than what they paid. I think Meta's strategy was to create a Western version of WeChat, which has
