I agree, from my experience Grok gives superior coding results, especially when modifying large sections of the codebase at once such as in refactoring. Although it’s not for codin…

Yes, Grok has become my go to model for general research and targeted coding tasks. Feels like its getting better over time vs ChatGPT which seemed to deteriorate over time. Claude…

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but Gemini 2.5 pro was substantially worse coding quality than Grok. Which is surprising since I’m working on a Golang codebase which I h…

The trick I’ve been using is to copy the entire codebase into a text prompt with Repo Prompt and feed that into Grok with a specific request on what feature / change I want. Then p…

I believe it is fairly accurate at estimating the ride time. The first time I took it though, I mistakenly thought it would take the same amount of time to get to my destination as…

I could definitely see that. If you're not pressed on time it can be a smoother ride for sure. But if you're trying to get somewhere fast or efficiently like going to the airport, …

In my experience Waymo has been much worse compared to Lyft/Uber for longer rides. A big problem with Waymo in its current state is how its routes are terribly inefficient. It purp…

This is incorrect, or misleading at best. The map that you linked contains data about TCE levels in public water systems. It does not imply anything about the contamination of the …

It doesn't seem sensationalist to me. I looked up three different strip malls that I am familiar with and all of them have some kind of PCE cleanup sites from previous or current d…

If you’re in an apartment building, moving to a higher floor would help as it affects the basement and first floor the most. If you’re in a house, the same mitigations for radon ex…

It's not supposed to leach into the groundwater, but nobody is enforcing the companies that are handling these chemicals to ensure they don't get into the groundwater supply. Many …

For those living in the bay area, you should know that the groundwater in many areas is contaminated with TCE due to computer manufacturing industry which used it as a solvent. Dry…

To add a data point, I recently had a grandparent who died with Parkinson's disease. After doing research, it turns out their home was located very close to a Superfund cleanup sit…
