    i doubt that's the goal for them. i bet they just really don't have capacity for people using it a ton, yet they wanted people to be able to try it out while it's new. so they comp…

    sounds like the link with AI is tenuous at best given the other comments, but I'll take it as an opportunity to say a few things I believe anyway: 1. AI is really helpful for a lot…

    i guess i don't blame a writer who's job is threatened by this technology to write a piece like this. but the perspective is ultimately one where they are complaining about how it …

    i don't think it's marketing so much as excitement

    i think mostly it's that people feel threatened. i can't even say it's irrational

    this was definitely me in high school. i still fondly remember the day when we could use our Ti-83+ for our exam but we had to show the teacher that we cleared memory for notes and…

    I think it's the least hostile thing they can say, and I respect their decision for their own project. That said, it still feels like they are unnecessarily hobbling their project.…

    it's a cool article but would immensely help from gifs or videos to go along with the explanation

    i want 5.4 nano to decide whether my prompt needs 5.4 xhigh and route to it automatically

    yeah there's way more demand, and at the same time, it's way easier for the company to build and maintain (with the help of AI). Great to see!

    if you include "it turns out that", you're implying that maybe you thought the same as them in the past, but looked into it, and learned something interesting. if you omit that, yo…

    i don't know what else they can say about their own business.. but it's clearly cope. sure, there's a lot of compliance/legal concerns, but AI is probably already better at reading…

    last i checked, you can't annotate inline with planning mode. you have to type a lot to explain precisely what needs to change, and then it re-presents you with a plan (which may o…

    they have pretty fierce competition though, so i doubt this is intentional. my guess is they just have a million things to do and that isn't at the top of the list

    if i were you @susam, i'd use claude code to parse all these submissions into your json file! i bet opus 4.5 would do it flawlessly

    what are your goals? it's usually tough to sell things to developers because they are very particular about how they want their software to work, and also would rather build their …

    I didn't like that there was a long delay after you move your mouse, and since all the calculation happens on the frontend, i figured you could easily make it ~instantly update and…

    yeah it's crazy to think that claude 4 has only been out a month. And the previous iteration 3.7 was launched only in February! but also I think the interesting thing is that peopl…

    yeah current AIs are surprisingly good at figuring out which tools to call and how to call them!

    MCP still feels so early. It's getting better - we went from "set up `npx` on your system and edit this JSON file in an obscure directory" to "set the name and URL of your MCP serv…
