I like this take. Especially because one of the sibling comments framed Anthropic's stance as "paternalism." Trying to be ethical and to minimize harm, even at great expense to one'…

To make the discussion constructive, can you give specific reasons (ideally with examples) about why it is so useless for you? How exactly are you using it that you think any output from it can easily…

OpenAI is the only real competition. Chinese models are 6-8 months behind Opus 4.8/GPT 5.5, and at least a year or more behind Mythos. And it doesn't look like OpenAI will have a good answer…

If the guardrails were so useless, people wouldn't be complaining about them.

So you could have done it in your sleep, with your hands tied behind your back. Got it. (You may not realize it but simonw is one of the cofounders of Django, Python's web framework. If they find…

What does that mean? Have you never worked on extremely difficult problems as a side project?

Unnecessary based on what exactly? Your vibes?

That’s odd, I used it on a pretty complex refactoring task and it worked for 22 mins and used only 15% of my 5-hour limit. I’m on the $200 Max plan though.

Yeah, but 25 days holiday plus bank holidays means you're working like half the year at most. ;)

>> It's so you don't have to ask anybody for permission. That's it. This doesn't make sense because there's one party whose permission you always must ask, and that'…

I dig into problems way, way deeper with AI than without. I can also add a lot more polish to features, add more test coverage, write more documentation, explore multiple approaches rather than go wit…

Yes. Zitron has been predicting and begging for collapse since 2024. It's not just his brand at this point. It's his entire identity . As such, he cannot back down, he cannot question himse…

Lots of sources claiming it might be anywhere between 8.0 and 9.0.

>> Something else builds it, I take credit for it despite not understanding much about about it. How much you understand what was built is entirely up to you. Literally nothing is stopping you, …

We as Americans at least have some amount of influence over American corporations, and enforcement mechanisms for those breaking the rules.

>> LLMs routinely fail at our business specifics: Local tax regulations, particularities of the accounting process, specifics of our ledger implementations. My company also deals with a lot of c…

Code quality and architecture still matter, because they also make it easier for LLMs to reason about the system. That said, Opus 4.8 and Codex 5.5 both can write code that is higher quality than yo…

It's useful, but increases review time and mental energy requirement. Often times Codex and Opus will find the same issues when given a review task, but will disagree on issue severity. Codex mig…

Jobs numbers came way stronger than expected, and previous two months also got revised up. Strong job numbers + increasing inflation = overheated economy = goodbye interest rate cuts. In fact, there&#…

Spawning separate agents to review the original agent's implementation results in a very noticeable increase in code quality and decrease in bugs. This is why I encode two or three rounds of sub-…

Opus 4.5 helped us with a very complex data topology refactor and migration. Instead of the five month timeline we had initially allotted for it, we finished it in nineteen days.

>> I prefer a big feature to be one big PR rather than a lot of small ones. Yes, same, and I genuinely do not understand the insistence that PRs should not be above a certain size. I think most …

No, it does not. Every large company eventually has a big accident. They survive because they have both the resources (e.g. to fight ensuing legal battles, or pay fines, or simply weather a hit to rep…

People need to stop repeating this because it’s not true. Yes, other models can find the same vulnerabilities Mythos found… if pointed at the exact code that has each vulnerability. It does not mean t…

The internet absolutely went bust. That’s what the dotcom crash was. Same with a lot of physical infrastructure. The UK has a robust railroad network today, but it was built during a bubble that was s…

>> I found myself thinking people like him could actually do amazing stuff with LLMs if they sat down and got their ideas out on a screen. They can, and they are. You just don’t hear about it on…

>> You need to know your specific company, no way around it Of course there are ways around it. For example you can build the foundation yourself (which will cover the 80% that is shared across …

>> it's definitely the best way to try out new models without fiddling with each providers distinct APIs which is becoming a recurring concern as of late Why not... Cursor?

It's not a matter of being "allowed" per se. What the parent is saying that people need to do a better job being internally consistent in their beliefs and moral stances. If you are one…
