Yes Sora hallucinates significantly more than Claude. I find that Codex generally requires me to remove code to get to what I want, whereas Claude I tend to use what it gives me an…

The last time I used them both side by side was a month ago, so unless its significantly improved in the past month, I am genuinely surprised that someone is making the argument th…

Yeah I think the argument is the tooling vs agent. Maybe the OpenAI agent is performing better now, but the tooling is significantly better from anthropic. The anthropic (ClaudeCod…

Agreed. Claude Code is an amazing experience with Jetbrains IDEs, but for some reason Xcode just hates having claude directly edit the files.

This is very true. ChatGPT has a very generous free tier. I used to pay for it, but realized I was never really hitting the limits of what is needed to pay for it. However, at the …

In a recent episode of Hard Fork podcast, the hosts discussed an on-the-record conversation they had with Sam Altman from OpenAI. They asked him about profitability and he claimed …

I think this is the world we are going to. I'm not going to get mired in the details of how it would happen, but I see this end result as inevitable (and we are already moving that…

There is a video of it floating around for the morbidly curious. I won't link it here. It is very NSFL. I was accidently shown it while scrolling instagram and wish I hadn't seen i…

Both you and the parent are correct. The "bailout" for consumers is that they lower interest to 0%. That's what we did in 2007. If people can refinance their homes from 7% to ~2% t…

It is for testing python projects that connect to postgres. So often what you do is when unit testing, you need to test CRUD-type operations between the application and the databas…

Going to second this opinion. I use this app almost daily as well on an iPhone 15 Pro. I have zero problems with responsiveness. I have seen a small lag when I start to get to 45m-…

In Corporate America there is an old saying that goes > "No one ever got fired for buying Microsoft Office". Basically if you are the head of IT and you use Microsoft Office, the C…

I have an M1 Max with 48 Gb of memory. It is 11am right now, and so far today, Outlook has crashed twice and Excel has crashed once. Word crashes about 50% of the time, but I do ev…

I actually use IntelliJ and Sublime interchangeably throughout the day. I default to sublime for most work because of how snappy fast it is. I only load up Intellij when I need to …

Yeah this is the positive side of the double-edged sword of frameworks. Without Spring, you would have every team rebuilding the database layer in 100 different ways. With 100 shod…

That sounds nice. Except find a company today that doesn't perceive spring framework and java as synonymous. Tbh, its not a whole lot different than where PHP is going where php is…

I hide the dock and basically never use it. Install Alfred or Raycast and Command+Space your way to everything. Its 100x faster. I can launch any app in about 3 key strokes, which …

This is also the same argument made against IRS audits on lower tax brackets. Basically, its not generally worth audits of low income citizens. Because the manpower required to per…

I mean you could impeach him again. But that's doesn't really do anything other than wave a finger at him and says "Naughty naughty". Hell, the guy is able to re-run and win the el…

The voter id laws conversation is an excellent example of one where they seemed to be largely off the mark. Jason tried to bring up some of the concerns at first, was immediately s…

I've never met a human that doesn't "hallucinate" either (either intentionally or unintentionally). Humans either intentionally lie or will fill in gaps in their knowledge with ass…

Power plants and power infrastructure are probably an example of a positive consequence that comes from this. We have been terrified to whisper the words "nuclear power" for decade…

I adamantly disagree. There are 10,000 devices in this world that will feed you your email if you really need to see it in the second it comes in. You probably have one in your poc…

I use a combination of a Kindle Paperwhite Signature for novels and mainstream books. THen I use a Remarkable Tablet for PDFs, research papers, my own notes, etc. I find it to be a…

Similarly, I saw someome on social media yesterday post about buying "Monopoly Go" boardgame at the store. The box says "Based on the popular mobile game". The joke was the same, w…
