Thank you. This is exactly it and I'm surprised so many people seem to not view it this way.

I'm late to the thread, but my experience with Claude Fable 5.1 has been absolutely horrendous. Things it does constantly that Fable 5 barely ever did: - Act without my permission. All. The. Time. "Oh I just finished this thing we

I agree. I am catching myself distrusting what people write ever so often. I've got cases of e-mails I'm CC'ed in and I am left wondering: "Has this person always written like this? Is this just an angle in this specific

Yes, I did think about that possibility. Using a tool to translate to english doesn't mean we don't proofread it. Ok, I hear you: one could argue that they simply don't realize this is a very non-idiomatic way of writing prec

What got me was "I keep seeing the same shape next to billing events in other people's reports". Clicked off after that. I'm extremely bullish on AI, but I am tired of people not using their own words. Is everyone so ins

This was the best thing for me. 98% Fable usage resetting only Thursday and just got this early. Couldn't be happier.

I experimented with Hy3 for a project and was surprised with how good it was. I don't know if it's good for coding, but as a general purpose agentic model, it was only beaten by deepseek4-flash in our tests. It was so close to dee

Superb. I am so glad you built this (and I couldn't care less if you used AI for 5% or 1000% of it). Thank you so much for sharing what is obviously useful work with the community. Also, with so many references to Lisbon I take it you&

Many things in life are about risk and tradeoffs. In some cases, I do not trust it to write code unchecked, and review everything it produces (which does not imply I catch all bugs, obviously). In other cases, occasional failure is an optio

What people usually say is that Google merely wants Firefox to survive for anti-competitive reasons. Presumably that does not necessitate it actually being used (or be usable).

I'd like to share with HN an almost exact message I got from Fable today, with exactly ONE word changed for privacy reasons. I love what I can build now, but I sure as hell don't love the headaches this trend has been giving me. &

Came up with them on the spot. Unfortunately, I've been working with Claude so much it's like my brain can autocomplete them natively.

Glad to know it worked. Still pending: the assumed-defaults research track plus the validation-only build phase D demanded — your call on whether to start one now or deploy tonight’s campaign to surface any wrinkles the spec drifted on

This! Claude writes comments about how things used to work, which can be useful sometimes, especially if it's a big change that requires one to genuinely consider legacy behavior, but most of the time it shouldn't be there. Two ot

I've said this time and time again but with LLMs I got the joy of being a little kid learning to code and build stuff again. I haven't had such a custom-built setup since my earliest college days, because I had lost the time to ti

Recently, I had bizarre situation: I wanted to play a game from my childhood on Windows 11, but, without changing two booleans in the settings, I could not reliably move my in-game cursor. The catch is that to change those values in the se

You're right that I shouldn't have used the forbidden words; that's entirely on me. What I also did was identify the plausible-gate issues. Want me to tackle them next?

This!! I like to work weird hours of the night and Opus consistently likes to "wrap up" and say "it's been a long night" or "it's late" and "we've made great progress" It's infuria

In my tests Grok 4.5 is definitely not Opus level. It is somewhere in between Sonnet and Opus, I'd say maybe a bit closer to Sonnet. We'll see with 4.6.

It's missing a couple of wrinkles, surfaces, belt-and-suspenders, belt-and-braces, knobs, no-ops, "things that narrate", bookkeeping, stranded sessions, "the gate leads the arrangement", shit-gated, "to be wire

Have been feeling the same. There's a sweet spot that threads the needle between "too dumb to search the right thing / relay the correct results" and "too smart to just stop overthinking and just report the damn thi

I am amazed at the amount of people who disagree with you. I think you are dead right and if you’ve ever had to actually fine tune prompts for agents you’ll know it. The prompt is clearly leading the agent into trying desperate approaches i

Everytime I have to deal with websockets in Django, I want to rip my eyeballs out. Most of the time what I really want is just push support, and don't need bidirectional communication, i.e. SSE. But it's the same thing: both are a

This is exactly the core reason why I can't consider changing. The Plex app for Samsung has worked great for me for many years. It has its quirks, but it works!... Not having that is an absolute deal breaker.

Yep, I did. It didn’t have any effect. Randomizing the poems has stopped having a significant effect in the last year or so on the analysis as a whole. It still somewhat affects the way the AI looks at the poems, especially if it has to mak

Some of my poetry has clear IT jargon, but it's a very small portion of it (<1%). Some of my teenage poetry revolved a lot around the idea of wanting to become science, knowledge, and machine, and be rid of feeling altogether (to be

Grok 4.5 is...something else. It performs much better than composer2.5 (while being as fast). It's not Opus, but I think it's not that far off. Definitely better than sonnet for what I've been doing. On the other hand, I thin
