I’m curious, shouldn’t Mythos have discovered this? At this point, based on all the marketing from Anthropic, I’d expect all software from them to be flawless given all the capabilities Mythos possesses.

PDFs are both awesome and terrible at the same time. I've seen screenshots of emails added to pdfs alongside tables that span multiple pages. Because you can do almost anything and guarantee that it'll look the same regardless of

I'll be using it tonight but grudgingly so. Grudgingly because after July 7th, I'm not going to all of a sudden, start paying API prices (and maybe that's the problem) when I'm used to a subscription that gives me multip

It’s the thousand cuts problem. Look at the stories over the past couple of weeks: silent downgrades that they then walked back, billing errors with claude code, highly sensitive classifiers that made it impossible to do simple things (I as

I’ll continue to use the last great reasonably affordable duo from Anthropic: Opus 4.6 for planning and Sonnet 4.6 for implementation.

I just finished reading Incorruptible and a central theme (Anthropic is a case study) is that trust is singularly the most important currency a business has. The past few weeks have done wonders for Anthropic’s marketing but just as much if

These style of comparisons are decent at showing capability but they don't really show me what I truly want - a sounding board and implementer with senior engineer-level execution. When I look back at all the teams that I've been

The movie was great. I'm always fascinated by adaptations, especially what they choose to exclude. I thought the movie struck the right balance.

Such a fun game. It has the right amount of whimsy. Those shifty eyes…

We use Jira. We're trapped by the processes built around it. Once it's entrenched, it's rather difficult to remove. I eagerly await for something that can replace Jira, but fear that it too will be bastardized to fit the proc

I'm curious whether this is due to their insistence on using home grown tools ie, Kiro and not Codex/Cursor/Claude et all? I tried Kiro and quickly left.

by stavarotti 6mo ago
I've largely found codex and claude code to be about the same however, codex tends to "think" harder and for longer which depending on the task, yields better results without too much steering. On an unrelated note, UI is suc

Most of what I've been reading on either side of the argument is reductive. It's possible to have a take based on one's perspective and experience but it's impossible (at this time) to generalize things more broadly. I t

Life is stressful (in some respects, overly so), but we’ve dealt with this for millennia by having a strong support system. Not to be reductive over the multitudes of problems people face today, but most can and should be solvable by having

I always find this characterization baffling. Why does it matter if it's a 24 year-old vs 30, 35, or 50? Many aspects of life that we hold near and dear were created by very "young" people.

I just want whoever is next in line to make Siri perform reliably and consistently. Not 70% of the time of even 90% of the time, 100% of the time for the limited uses cases that most (perhaps just me?) people use it for: - Call "person

An underrated and oft understated rule is always have backups, and if you're paranoid enough, backups of backups (I use Time Machine and Backblaze). There should be absolutely no reason why deleting files should be a catastrophic issue

What if they get ads right? Not low rate garbage, but hyper targeted ads that are actually useful.

Such a wonderful soul. Few people have left an impression on me these many years later. I hope she's done the same for many here.

Every time I see artifacts like these I can’t help but think whether we are producing artifacts that will be discovered 10000 years into the future, and still be in a robust state.

The generative aspect might be slightly oversold, but I’m interested in the practical applications being targeted by DeepMind and similar labs. AlphaFold’s ability to predict protein structures for disease treatment is very exciting.

I had my first ride in a Waymo car today. Despite closely following the field, nothing prepared me for the sheer magic of it. It just worked. After my fourth ride in a single day, all I could think was "hot damn!." It's easy
