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.

> You took a year off for mental health but still couldn't resist building 'for-profit projects' during your break. The only thing more persistent than your work ethic is your inability to actually relax.

> You complain about Elixir's lack of types but keep using it anyway. This is the programming equivalent of staying in a relationship where you keep trying to change the other person.

> You've lived in multiple countries but spend most of your time on HN explaining why their tech infrastructure is terrible. Maybe the common denominator is you?

Ouch, it's pretty good haha

"Make me a website about books. Make it look like a designer and agency made it. Use Tailwind." https://play.tailwindcss.com/tp54wfmIlN Getting way better at UI.

I cannot believe that others just casually dismiss this as 'basic', when just a few years ago this would have taken someone a full day of work.

I mean, it is basic. Templates have been around for decades and this looks like a template from 2007 that someone filled in with their own copy. That might take like an hour, maybe? And presumably the person who wants the page done will have to customize this text, too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is the main point I always want to communicate to the teams building foundation models. A lot of people just want the ability to pay more in order to get more. I would gladly pay 10x more to get relatively modest increases in performance. That is how important the intelligence is.

As a growth company, they likely would prefer a larger amount of users even with occasional rate limits, vs smaller pool of power users. As long as capacity is an issue, you can't have both

If people are paying for use, then why can’t you have both?

> You've spent so much time explaining why enterprise software is terrible, we're starting to think you might be the person who designed Salesforce.

That's a low blow.

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.

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

Paste it into Claude and ask it to made the minified code more readable ;)

Agree the code should just be open source but there's nothing secretive that you can't extract manually.

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. [0] https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/ [1] https://aider.chat/HISTORY.html#aider-v0750

I like that we're just saying they're thinking now. John Searle would be furious.

(I kid, I know what is meant by that.)

Now that the world's gotten used to the existence of AI, any hope on removing the guardrails on Claude? I don't need it to answer "How do I make meth", but I would like to not have to social engineer my prompts. I'd like it to just write the code I asked for and not judge me on how ethical the code might be. Eg Claude will refuse to write code to wget a website and parse the html if you ask it to scrape your ex girlf…

Not having headlines like "Claude Gives Stalker Instructions" has a significant value to their business I would wager.

I'm very much in favour of removing the guardrails but I understand why they're in place. The problem is attribution. You can teach yourself how to engage in all manner of dark deeds with a library or wikipedia or a search engine and some time, but any resulting public outcry is usually diffuse or targeted at the sources rather than the service. When Claude or GPT or Stable Diffusion are used to generate something judged offensive, the outcry becomes an existential threat to the provider.
