In Claude's defense (and I cannot believe I'm defending it), I know no single dev who could create what it did (Concord), from a 19-page design document, in 9.5 working hours. We're gonna go back to the days where our bosses ask why we're just sitting around, but instead of saying "compiling," we'll just say, "waiting for Claude."

Sadly I didn't get very many answers to my Ask HN, "What are you doing during inference?": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47944917

I alt-tab to a MMO and farm XP.

Depends on the demographic I think. And also tells you surprisingly much about how the brain of person uttering it works. There are people that almost feel physical pain if something is unnecessarily incorrect. + That if the mental model of something is accurate, it is actually _more_ work to say something that is incorrect than just saying the correct thing.

In my mental model, "my Outlook" is the outlook instance running on my computer, on my data. My outlook crashed today. Yours might not have crashed. Similarly, my Jira contains tickets about my work, your Jira does not contain those same tickets. That might be technically the same instance on the same SaaS server, but the server I'm routed to accessing my data with my credentials turns it into "my Jira". My Jira is s…

Hmm, good point. "My outlook" might actually be correct. Depending on if it is a webapp or the real one running on your device that is.

Similiar to "My game just crashed".

Jira otoh is not yours, because it's in the cloud. It might be "my internet connection", "my browser" or "my account" that is having trouble.

Hm. "My train got delayed" is interesting in this context. I don't find that offensive. But that also might be because trains don't seek rent the way SaaS does? Not sure.

I guess trains do not hold me hostage. They might just be a container in which someone does that.

Jira, cloud LLM inference or similar otoh..

What are people working on that they see such a substantial difference between Mythos and Opus? I'd say I'm working with advanced stuff and more than often Deepseek is even more than enough. Why is everybody a genius in here?

I had a few of the benchmarks left alone and was working on tech debt knowing that a new model is going to be released soon. For my project (tsz.dev) Opus 4.8 was running in circles without producing results for a while for those tasks

> This is a map that shows the distance you can travel in a given length of time, and the first one was created in 1881 showing travel times from London.

The first item on the article, the first thing it showed, was wrong though.

It is 100% faster to go from London to New York in 1881 than Volgagrad. Or any of the Russian hinterland colored green or Turkey or Egypt.

I have been using it for less than an hour so take this with a grain of salt of being excited for the new tech. In a project like mine ( https://github.com/tsz-org/tsz ) I am constantly frustrated that models were not doing enough research and were not taking into account other situations. Again and again models would produce code that would fix one thing and break 2 other tests that were "unrelated". With Fable it s…

What I find fascinating that there is so little substance in this article about the quality of produced code and the medium. Is the code documented and tested? Is it understandable and extendable? Is it secure? What language, framework, database was used? Author mentions judgement and taste - well, is the code tasteful? Will the model rearchitecture the entire thing if I ask it to add new functionality, spending anot…

Less fascinating when you consider that this is a non-coders perspective.

This is what he built: https://isochronic-passage-chart.netlify.app/ Doesn’t work too well on mobile but looks interesting

It is hallucinating many flights in my region, some that never existed (so it is not an outdated data problem).

I also see some logic flaws. It overlooks the option of going to a major hub to access faster aircraft, rather than hopping on local hubs.

Also, immigration and customs are cleared at the first airport you arrive at in the country, not at the last one.

In some countries, you need to clear immigration even while going to a third country, so 1 hour is not enough to do it.

Reading it, I can't help but feel he's being paid to write this. Or maybe he hopes to be paid. The language he uses makes him sound like he's fawning over the lost days of his childhood. Pardon me for being skeptical, but a trillion dollar company running a net-loss is hoping to IPO, and needs to sway public opinion by any means necessary. I would imagine that no dirty marketing scheme is off of the table, even from the self-proclaimed "good guys".
