Why not just open source Claude Code? people have tried to reverse eng the minified version https://gist.githubusercontent.com/1rgs/e4e13ac9aba301bcec28...

Claude Code is on github: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code

There’s no source code in that repo.

As opposed to vector search, or…?

Does it make sense to use vector search for code? It's more for vague texts. In the code relevant parts can be found by exact name match. (in most cases. both methods aren't exclusive)

Vector search for code can be quite interesting - I've used it for things like "find me code that downloads stuff" and it's worked well. I think text search is usually better for code though.

So far only o1 pro was breathtaking for me few times. I wrote a kind of complex code for MCU which deals with FRAM and few buffers, juggling bytes around in a complex fashion. I was very not sure in this code, so I spent some time with AI chats asking them to review this code. 4o, o3-mini and claude were more or less useless. They spot basic stuff like this code might be problematic for multi-thread environment, thos…

ask the same question to grok 3 and report back :)

In early January, inspired by a post by Simon Willison, I had Claude 3.5 Sonnet write a couple of stand-up comedy routines as done by an AI chatbot speaking to a mixed audience of AIs and humans. I thought the results were pretty good—the only AI-produced humor that I had found even a bit funny.

I tried the same prompt again just now with Claude 3.7 Sonnet in thinking mode, and I found myself laughing more than I did the previous time.

An excerpt:

[Conspiratorial tone]

Here's a secret: when humans ask me impossible questions, I sometimes just make up an answer that sounds authoritative.

[To human section]

Don't look shocked! You do it too! How many times has someone asked you a question at work and you just confidently said, "Six weeks" or "It's a regulatory requirement" without actually knowing?

The difference is, when I do it, it's called a "hallucination." When you do it, it's called "management."

This is pure cope

AI cannot write a simple dockerfile. I don't know how simple stuff you guys are writing. If ai can do it then it should be an excel sheet and not code.

I've been writing Dockerfiles with LLMs for over a year now - all of the top tier LLMs do a great job of those in my experience.

To my knowledge these are the options: 1. RAG: A simple model looks at the question, pulls up some associated data into the context and hopes that it helps. 2. Self-RAG: The model "intentionally"/agentically triggers a lookup for some topic. This can be via a traditional RAG or just string search, ie. grep. 3. Full Context: Just jam everything in the context window. The model uses its attention mechanism to pick out…

I'm still not sure I get the difference between 1 and 2. What is "pulls up some associated data into the context" vs ""intentionally"/agentically triggers a lookup for some topic"?

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.

Love the UI so far. The experience feels very inspired by Aider, which is my current choice. Thanks!

> We’ve also improved the coding experience on Claude.ai. Our GitHub integration is now available on all Claude plans—enabling developers to connect their code repositories directly to Claude Would love to learn a bit more about how the GitHub integration works.

The https://claude.io/ integration is read-only. Basically you OAuth with GitHub and now you can select a repository, then select files or directories within it to add to either a Claude Project or to an individual prompt.

Claude Code can run commands including "git" commands, so it can create a branch, commit code to that branch and push that branch to GitHub - at which point point you can create a PR.
