Nice FUD.

I’ve seen an uptick in these types of comment on HN - vague ominous sounding attacks on Anthropic. It honestly seems like a coordinated PR effort from OpenAI folks to “both sides” …

I love the timer. It’s the closest game to ThruLine I’ve come across (that’s a compliment).

I just visited replit wanting to play around with some code in a repl, but I couldn't find where to create a repl. It seems like they're turned into a AI application builder site w…

Nice to meet someone else that does the daily leetcode! It is really a nice feature - I wish every online judge website would add it. Bonus - Racket is an accepted language on leet…

I had a little excursion into Dyalog APL recently and wound up writing an emacs mode to evaluate Dyalog APL [1]. It was a pretty nice experience using Claude to extract the small s…

Love the story and the article. The only nit I have with it: > “His answers are… understandable, and maybe in some ways more digestible than we would get from an expert,” he said. …

I was curious to get a sense for the overall "success rate" at a glance, so I uploaded the author's data as a spreadsheet and color-coded the conversations based on length (short=r…
