You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

Serious question: What advice would you give to a Computer Science student in light of these tools?
Serious answer: learn to code. You still need to know what good code looks like to use these tools. If you go forward in your career trusting the output of LLMs without the skills to evaluate the correctness, style, functionality of that code then you will have problems. People still write low level machine code today, despite compilers having existed for 70+ (?) years. We'll always need full-stack humans who underst…
People who know both coding and LLMs will be a whole lot more attractive to hire to build software than people who just know LLMs for many years to come.
Seems to answer before fully understanding the requests, and it often gets stuck into loops.
And this update removed the june model which was great, very sad day indeed. I still don't understand why they have to remove a model that is do well received...
Maybe its time to switch again, gemini is making great strides.
Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.
It's the only mainstream AI service that requests this information. After a string of security lapses by many of your competitors, I have zero faith in the ability of a "fast moving" AI-focused company to keep my PII data secure.
Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 60.4% on the aider polyglot leaderboard [0], WITHOUT USING THINKING. Tied for 3rd place with o3-mini-high. Sonnet 3.7 has the highest non-thinking score, taking that title from Sonnet 3.5. Aider 0.75.0 is out with support for 3.7 Sonnet [1]. Thinking support and thinking benchmark results coming soon.

If you can reproduce that, would you mind reporting it with /bug?
Just tried it with claude 3.7 sonnet, here is the share: https://claude.ai/share/68db540d-a7ba-4e1f-882e-f10adf64be91 and it doesn't finish outputing the program. (It's missing the rest of the application function and the main function). Here are steps to reproduce.

I wouldn’t assume there’s no way to self host — it just costs a lot more than open weights. Anthropic claims they don’t train on their inputs. I haven’t seen any reason to disbelieve them.
But there is no way to know if their claims are true either. Your inputs are processed into their servers, then you get a response. Whatever happens in the middle, only Anthropic knows. We don't even know of governments are actually pushing AI companies to enforce censorship or spying people, like we seen recently at UK government getting into Apple E2E encryption. This criticism is valid for the business who wants t…
You can also access Claude via both AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex, both of which come with very robust guarantees about how your data is used.

DeepSeek’s models are vastly overhyped (FWIW I have access to them via Kagi, Windsurf, and Cursor - I regularly run the same tests on all three). I don’t think it matters that V3 is free when even R1 with its extra compute budget is inferior to Claude 3.5 by a large margin - at least in my experience in both bog standard React/Svelte frontend code and more complex C++/Qt components. After only half an hour of using C…
The big difference is DeepSeek R1 has a permissive license whereas Claude has a nightmare “closed output” customer noncompete license which makes it unusable for work unless you accept not competing with your intelligence supplier, which sounds dumb
It redid half of my BSc thesis in less than 30s :| https://claude.ai/share/ed8a0e55-633f-4056-ba70-772ab5f5a08b edit: Here's the output figure https://i.imgur.com/0c65Xfk.png edit 2: Gemini Flash 2 failed miserably https://g.co/gemini/share/10437164edd0
Once you get to graduate studies that's where the material coverage is a little more sparse/niche (though usually still not groundbreaking), and for a PhD. coverage is mostly non-existent since the point is to expand upon current knowledge within the field and many topics are being explored for the first time.
