I find that it is better at thinking broadly and at a high level, on tasks that are tangential to coding like UX flows, product management and planning of complex implementations. I have yet to see it…

Is this the first time OpenAI compared their new release to Anthropic models? Previously they were comparing only to GPT's own previous versions.

I use it through the desktop app, which has a lot of features I appreciate. Today it was implementing a feature. It came across a semi-related bug that wasn’t a stopper but should really be fixed befo…

I strongly recommend the 2016 documentary titled 'Kedi', which is about the cats of Istanbul. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKq7UqplcL8 …

>> Yeah, I hear that a lot, but it never comes with proof. Everyone is special. You were the one who made the claim that Haiku is fine most of the time. To any reasonable person, the burden of p…

I have seen some people complain about a new tendency where it can suggest wrapping up the current task even though it isn't done yet. I haven't seen it myself though.

It is AI-generated, which is why it got killed.

It's in research preview. I suspect limits are low on purpose. FWIW, I gave it twelve screenshots of different pages in my app and it did a really excellent job fixing them up. Consumed just 40% …

Yeah, agreed. And realistically they are correct. I’d argue that “good enough” is how most things are done.

You are not the only one. I also dislike it immensely. For a framework that established itself as "for developers who don't know or want to learn CSS", polluting the HTML in the manner …

>> Of course, there is indeed no shame. There is also no pride. I disagree completely. The pride should come from the value that is delivered. Specifically, this: >> Useful, probably optim…

There's now an entire cottage industry that is based attempted take-downs or refutations of claims made by AI providers. Lots of people and companies are trying to make a name for themselves, and…

Side note: after drowning in LLM-generated content, it's pretty refreshing to read something written by a human. They're a pretty good writer, too!

>> are we being spammed? great. annoying. Yeah, very. Every single time this happens here, where there's a thread about an Anthropic model and people spam the comments with how Codex is bet…

>> for the more than 3 million developers who use it every week It is instructive that they decided to go with weekly active users as a metric, rather than daily active users.

>> I switched to Codex and found it extremely inferior for my use case. Yeah, 100% the case for me. I sometimes use it to do adversarial reviews on code that Opus wrote but the stuff it comes ba…

That, and also the plumber loses their license. So perhaps the solution is professional licensing for software engineers.

First day of my college freshman year, I purchased a Targus backpack for the heavy ass gaming laptop I had back then. I still use it decades later. It has carried stuff inside it for tens of thousands…

>> I also simply detest how Gas Town is modeled fundamentally on an extractive and destructive metaphor, the 19th century factory. I actually think the naming is apt because we are on the starti…

I don't know, I understood it just fine? Might be a personal problem on your part.

What it means is that it is easy to shit on other people's work. Much harder to give constructive criticism - especially on what looks like a throwaway account.

But that's the thing: the table saw has safeties . Someone put them there. Without those safeties, it, too, would jump unpredictably. Scary scenarios like AIs deleting home directories are the r…

The biggest challenge for us are PRs that need to be coordinated across multiple repos. API + client for example. It doesn't sound like stacked PRs solve that problem, right? Description specific…
