    What grip do they have then ? Is Claude code and the suite of other interface that good compared to open source/ competitor offering ?

    I wonder how much less useful it is if I use those models for open code or similar. What are you really learning about me, other than the fact that I am a technical person, which y…

    Interesting how it is all in mandarin. What I mean by this, is that it was prompted in mandarin to start with. I wonder if the result would be better or worse if prompted exactly t…

    What would be a reasonable question, that’s similar difficulty as implementing a linked list ? We have tried other questions as well, with similar results but perhaps our questions…

    I think to some extent is that the right candidates and employers are not meeting. Working at a ~1k employee company, we have been trying to hire both junior and senior devs. Out o…

    Shouldn’t we expect a convergence as models become more powerful ? There is an optimal answer to any question. Something that maximizes utility and minimizes tokens.

    As ai replaces more and more jobs, there should be plenty of humans available to teach. Even if the teachers are ai assisted themselves.

    At least link the one made by anthropic. Can’t say if this is better or worse since I’m on mobile.

    Could this be extended to lean into teaching quantum physics ? Include seconds/ sub seconds hand in the watch, and people will realize the watch face time + time it takes to read w…

    How do you measure quality at scale ? Is there another model that determines if it adheres to codebase standard ?

    I think you’re missing how complex international operations and optimization are. Each country has their own laws around what uber is and isn’t allowed to do. This needs to be form…

    You’re right about performance degradation, but good luck trying to sell that as a product. You can drive this car, but the last mile of this trip will use as much gas as the first…

    My view is that ai makes it very easy to pump out a lot of code, and that makes it too time consuming to just merge it without understanding it 100%. The person pushing the PR is g…

    Problem is that it does not produce better or more work, it actually shifts the work to a different/future engineer. Today’s slop which gets engineer 1 a promotion, is engineer’s 2…

    Google Gemini is supposed to only keep chats for up to 72hrs if you have the history disabled. (according to their policy) If you have history enabled, and have some chats. They sh…

    This might be silly, but … since the assistant models are so much smaller than the full models. What if we just use those smaller models? Any idea how much worse they will be ? Or …

    This is the first time I heard about estimating tokens for a task. I feel like you’re on to something. Management will pick this up, and make it part of the sprint planning. Engine…

    Would it be possible to do some prompt injection so this string has the same effect but from a website ? So if you add some special string to the docs, it stops Claude ?

    I just suggest you use Claude to write the script for you. And then you run the script with cron. Really it’s not any more time, just takes a different view on what the goal is.

    I see people highly trained engineers spend hundreds of thousand of tokens doing what can reliably be accomplished with 150 lines of python. I think the push from management for us…

    Give me a python script that takes a string representing the output of a sha256 algorithm and a plain string and compares if the sha256 of plain strig matches the sha256 provided.

    I think the article is making the point that it is a cultural problem about cost cutting and short term thinking.

    LLM Memeory (in general, any implementation) is good in theory. In practice, as it grows it gets just as messy as not having it. In the example you have on front page you say “cont…

    Is there any provided reason from anthropic why they changed the tokenizer ? Is there a quality increase from this change or is it a money grab ?
