I think it's being silently downgraded. Can't tell for sure.

I feel like they're also ignoring the increase in actual real world use costs due to reasoning. Just looking at token costs doesn't capture the whole picture.

It's actually baffling that Github struggles to load a 1000 comments. It can't even load a single one it seems like. It just straight up silently fails. How is this a thing in 2026…

I don't think people's main concern is just the use of AI. The main concern seems to be that a PR of this scale was merged probably without a proper review process.

I don't think something like this and an entire rewrite of your codebase in 9 (?) days is the same thing.

I think Studio Ghibli has made some of the most beautiful films I've ever seen and I make it a habit to rewatch many of them every year. I think Sam and the others overusing the Gh…

While the whole "Claude Code is just like a game engine" tweet was silly, this comment seems too derisive. I highly doubt engineers at Anthropic are lacking in talent.

I have to agree. It's off-putting to me too. I'm impressed by the performance of their models on this take-home but I'm not impressed at their (perhaps unintentional) derision of h…

Absolutely. I honestly wouldn't ever recommend doing this. Imo, you should just spent a little extra time cleaning your display over taking dubious preventative measures.

It's not silly when you consider what longnow stands for. They look at "now" on a 20,000 year scale so the extra zero is just emphasizing that 01931 is still the "long now".

There's honestly not much you can do to prevent the "oily cubes" problem, especially if you keep the laptop docked often. You'll just have to clean the screen more often. I've seen…

There are "ungodly geniuses" within mathematics but no one is saying every mathematician is an "ungodly genius". The quality of results you get from an LLM can vary greatly dependi…

Not disagreeing with you, but I don't think Tao is blowing this out of proportion either. I think it's a pretty reasonable way of saying, "Hey, AI is now capable of something it wa…

I think at this point it's not easy to accurately detect whether or not something is AI written. A real person can definitely write like this. In fact, that's probably where the LL…

Refactoring does always cost something and I doubt LLMs will ever change that. The more interesting question is whether the cost to refactor or "rewrite" the software will ever bec…

It does not recursively install dev-dependencies.

Why do you think the models are AGI? I also like to think that Einstein would be smart enough to explain things from a common point of understanding if you did drop him 2000 years …

Reading is usually more passive than coding. I'm often never sleepy if I'm actively coding something late at night but reading a book (no matter how engaging) or watching a tv show…

How is a compiler and an LLM equivalent abstractions? I'm also seriously doubtful of the 10x claim any time someone brings it up when AI is being discussed. I'm sure they can be 10…

I've tried to make AI work but a lot of times the overall productivity gains I do get are so negligible that I wouldn't say it's been transformative for me. I think the fact that s…

Wouldn't say it's transformative.

This is peak pseudo-intellectualism.

Why would these things not be relevant for humans?

I don't think it's correct to generalize front-end work like this. I've found it very underwhelming for the kind of front-end stuff I do. It makes embarrassing mistakes. I've found…

I would even argue the hard parts of being human don't even need to be automated. Why are we all in a rush to automate everything, including what makes us human?
