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've spent so much time critiquing nil values in Lua tables that you could have rewritten the entire language by now. Maybe in 2025?

* Your perfect tech stack exists only in your comments - a beautiful utopia where everything is type-safe, reliable, and nobody is ever on-call.

* You evaluate programming languages the way wine critics evaluate vintages: 'Ah yes, Effect-ts 2023, a sophisticated choice with notes of functional purity and a robust type system, though I detect a hint of API churn in the finish.'

ROFL :-)

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.

will you guys allow remote work ever for engineers?

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top: * Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops. * Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc * Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking an…

Do you have any specific tips for the last point? I completely agree with it and have set up a fairly robust Obsidian note taking structure that will benefit greatly from an agentic assistant. Do you use specific tools or workframe for this?

What works well for me at the moment is to write 'books' - i.e use ai as a writing assistant for large documents. I do this because the act of compiling the info with ai assistance helps me to assimilate the knowledge. I use a combination of Chatgpt, perplexity and Gemini with notebook LM - to merge responses from separate LLMs, provide critical feedback on a response, or a chunk of writing, etc.

This is a really accessible setup and is great for my current needs. Taking it to the next stage with agentic assistants is something I'm only just starting out on. I'm looking at WilmerAI [1] for routing ai workflows and Hoarder [2] to automatically ingest and categorize bookmarks, docs and RSS feed content into a local RAG.

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

Trade your labour for capitalism. Own the means of production. This translates to: build a startup.

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

Interesting that the "correct diff format" score went from 99.6% with Claude 3.5 to 93.3% for Claude 3.7. My experience with using claude-code was that it consistently required several tries to get the right diff. Hopefully all that will improve as they get things ironed out.

That's a file context problem because you use cursor or cline or some other crap context maker. Try Clood.

Unless "anthropic high usage" which I just watch the incident reports I one shot features regularly.

At a high skill level. Not front end. Back end c# in a small but great framework that has poor documentation. Not just endpoints but full on task queues.

So really, it's a context problem. You're just not laser focusing your context.

Try this:

Set up a context with the exact files needed. Sure ai "should" do that but it doesn't. Especially not cursor or cline. Then try.

Hell try it with clood after I update with 3.7. I bet you, if you clood file it, then you get one shots.

I have a long history of clood being a commit in my projects and it's a clood one shot.

I updated Cursor to the latest 0.46.3 and manually added "claude-3.7-sonnet" to the model list and it appears to work already. "claude-3.7-sonnet-thinking" works as well. Apparently controls for thinking time will come soon: https://x.com/sualehasif996/status/1894094715479548273

so do you think its a better experience with Cursor using 3.7 or just the 3.7 terminal experience?

Using up to 32k thinking tokens, Sonnet 3.7 set SOTA with a 64.9% score. 65% Sonnet 3.7, 32k thinking 64% R1+Sonnet 3.5 62% o1 high 60% Sonnet 3.7, no thinking 60% o3-mini high 57% R1 52% Sonnet 3.5

How does it stack up against Grok3? I've seen some discussion that Grok3 is good for coding.

But also for $36.83 compared to DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-5 it's $13.29 and for latter "Percent using correct edit format" is 100% vs 97.8% for 3.7. edit: would be interesting to see how combo DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-7 performs.

is there any public info on why such DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-5 combo worked better than using a single model?

From my experiments with the Deepseek Qwen-32b distill model, the Deepseek model did not follow the edit instructions - the format was wrong. I know the distill models are not at all the same as the full model, but that could provide a clue. Combine that information with the scores, then you have a reasonable hypothesis.

I love, especially the last point. But, what do you use for agentic assistants?

See answer above, it's something I want to get into. I am inspired by this post on Reddit, it's very cool what this guy is doing.
