    I'm all for this and I'm keen to try it. I certainly don't want to take away from sharing another neat use case for learning. But > What you get is a beautiful animation that is 10…

    > The beauty of intelligence at this cost (even if it's not SOTA) is that it opens a whole bunch of new use cases. Test failure in CI? Have the bot automatically propose a fix, its…

    You can't do that with tools either. Skills are basically prompts - they're not analogous to tools or MCPs. I'm not sure what your point is

    Gary doesn't argue it's hype though. He argues 2 things: other people are getting carried away with the result, and we don't know enough about how it was reached to know where it f…

    I've got a few of these. There's one in particular that I use quite often and have for about a year, vibed for myself: it's a chat interface that walks you through processing an em…

    Are they in 2026? I haven't had an issue with json and LLMs in a long while

    IMO a much better test would be designs that aren't AI to begin with. Much more useful to see how well a model can html an image design without slopping it up

    Is this a quote from a book? Beautifully written

    When did that happen with Codex? I thought that was a Claude Code thing

    It's not about figuring out if it's LLM written though. The style is hard to read and annoying. With the kind of sentences GP was talking about it's actually harder to get the subs…

    Curious whether you were just bare asking it questions, or whether you provided it with lessons one by one with instruction that the lesson is the baseline truth etc

    This has been the case since the early days. Aider had a bunch of code to be very forgiving with formatting of tool calls (file editing in particular at first). It's just the natur…

    Maybe I'm too optimistic, but given appropriate skills and references (not just for writing but also reviewing) and intelligent use of subagents for isolated reviews and checks, yo…

    We selected PRs (real ones we merged over the 6 months prior) and have an "LLM as judge" score how close the AI generated code is to the PR. Same as how other benchmarks do it, but…

    Similar result on our kotlin coding benchmark at work. It measures how close agents can get to a small mergable PR (according to my team). 20 tasks of varying difficulty, with 5 at…

    I wonder if there's a way to include data that's so unique you can prove it was trained on and sue later

    This is a branching point. One dev would find someone else and convince them to approve it. Another would redo the task (code is cheap now, right?) in a PR stack that can actually …

    That's an example of why it would be useful for someone to actually do it. A random commenter on HN is one thing. A direct comparison on a brand new app that isn't part of any trai…
