It is a curious exercise to look at the predictions of AI companies/their CEOs, too. Frequently we'll hear from Amodei that AI is 6 months or 12 months out from replacing Software Engineers. Or we'll hear that their model is

That is true. On 5.6 I have noticed it to be a little bit more like Claude, which I dislike. But still way better than Claude.

Also `empty("0") === true` is a common gotcha.

Nope. It has become much much slower for me as well. It’s weird cause at times I will get a response very quickly, like it used to be. But most of the time I have to wait quite a bit for the simplest tasks.

Anecdotally when Claude was error 500'ing a few days ago, its retries would never succeed, but cancelling and retrying manually worked most of the time.

But that's the problem. Something that can be so reliable at times, can also fail miserably at others. I've seen this in myself and colleagues of mine, where LLM use leads to faster burnout and higher cognitive load. You're n

It is curious how people go immediately on the defense trying to explain how what Claude said is in fact correct.

I’m pretty sure Claude would eagerly say that if that was the reason. Last day Claude Code said to me “Small nitpick — the use of so and so is great”. Which was something no human would say.

In my opinion there is a problem when said robot relies on piracy to learn how to do stuff. If you are going to use my work without permission to build such a robot, then said robot shouldn’t exist. On the other hand a jack of all trades ro

This honestly doesn’t surprise me. We have reached a point where it’s becoming clearer and clearer that AGI is nowhere to be seen, whereas advances in LLM ability to ‘reason’ have slowed down to (almost?) a halt.

He also said he got scared when trying out GPT 5, thinking “What have we done?”. He’s in the habit of lying, so it would be remiss to take his word for it.

I think it’s fair to say you need another kind of domain experience to explain Trump.

I love it. Reminds me of Windows 7. The nostalgia is too strong with this one.

As someone who frequently has tens of open tabs across different windows, this will be massively helpful. Especially since I frequently find myself trying to remember which window was for which ‘mental group’.

I’m not a parent myself, but something I’ve seen happen with an American family I know, is that they push their kids way too much to learn and do as many things as possible. They have their music lessons, their many clubs at school, several

"Leaked data" seems like a stretch. Sounds like someone ran a vulnerability scanner on some Twitter accounts. Don't have time to go through all the data though, so maybe there are interesting things in there.

I got COVID at the height of the pandemic. It wasn't great either. But I had no lingering symptoms from it back then.

This flu has been one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Fever that lasted five days, and secretions that I needed to clear several times per day almost one month after I was over the infection. I’ve heard from a few people who were vaccin

State-of-the-art LLMs have been trained on practically the whole internet. Yet, they fall prey to pretty dumb tricks. It's very funny to see how The Guardian was able to circumvent censorship on the Deepseek app by asking it to "u

For the first one, I got these results from the Deepseek app, after it "thought" for 156 seconds: 1. Take the wolf over 2. Return alone. 3. Take the goat over. 4. Bring the wolf back. 5. Take the cabbage over

People advocating against storing 2FA codes in the password manager are correct from a purist perspective, but not from a pragmatic perspective if you ask me. If my device is compromised, along with my device's password, as well as the

My biggest problem with Go is readability of some projects. In many cases, the code is split across files in an unintuitive way, and you can only navigate with the help of an IDE.

I've tried Rust, and it's just too much cognitive overhead. C is simple, and that simplicity is hard to beat. Go on the other hand is more like C in that regard.
