Earlier quoted context omitted.

My personal hot take is that the product people (engineers too probably) at these companies are just straight up lazy. Yes, a new UI paradigm is hard, but it's been painfully obvious that chat just absolutely sucks. It's also obvious that some DSL-ish thing is possible, something that just does token juggling and the end-user sees some UI behavior. I know this all sounds abstract. I've been mulling over it for the pa…

Can you elaborate? How in the world would I interface with claude other than sending it messages?

For the abstract "you can do anything" product, you want an open ended interface, but if I'm, eg, renting a car, is a free form text box really the way to go? The rental company knows exactly what information they need from me before they'll rent me a car, so a free form text box so the computer can ask me questions one by one vs a traditional form, seems suboptimal.

These kinds of updates always have this romantic scenario of someone having Claude develop a presentation or something on their way to work between multiple devices, which actually feels a little sad and does not align with what happens in my life at all.

I've found basically all of the release presentations are completely irrelevant and seem to target a very narrow subset of the population. They're always reserving something like a restaurant or a sports venue or generating a new slide deck for their business meeting. Perhaps these companies would do better if they could make a use case for regular people. You know, the 90% of the folks out there working normal jobs…

I regularly make restaurant reservations and create slide decks for my work, and both of those seem quite common among people I know. What would be a normal people use case for Cowork in your view?

How did this new account `vertigoruntime` get three posts on the front page, all in the last day? - This post - The DeepMind Institute https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49727659 - Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49723408 based on their account submission history they have a 25% hit rate (!) Seems very, very weird.

Hi, this is my team! Happy to answer any questions. There's a lot in this launch, but the core idea is to simplify the product while giving users access to more capabilities. You no longer need to know ahead of time how much work a conversation might involve. If you're at your computer, Claude can use your local files and apps. If you close your laptop, Claude can keep working on its own computer. This launch also le…

How do you guys have so many resources but no taste? It’s crazy.

imo Claude is ok on taste, just with many sloppy bugs. ChatGPT/Codex is worse on taste.

It would appear no one else submitted the posts in question, so the most obvious answer is the account is finding interesting articles that no one else has found. It would be one thing if it won out of many dupe posters, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening.

This is valid.

1. each one is a first-party vendor announcement, submitted very close to the announcement and under the vendors headline.

2. Titles are "verbatim" vendor headlines. No editorializing which follows HN guidelines to the letter.

3. Someone; a script/agent is watching vendor feeds and X accounts then submitting within minutes of the posting.

4. Altman/Navier–Stokes post got [duped] so prob not inside thing.

Totally unrelated but I google'd their username to see if there was a clue, and I had no idea this feed existed:

To directly answer your question, my guess is they have an alert set up for various places on the internet, and are able to post the links faster than anyone else. Maybe that part is automated.

AI product updates probably tend to rank very well here. If you look at the domains the user is submitting, they’re pretty normal: twitter accounts of tech CEOs, big company blogs, etc.

If I saw a bunch of blogs with affiliate links or landing pages for slop products I’d be more suspicious.

I just have RSS feeds of news in AI circles that may be cool, built an entire tracker around it - helps me pick up new stuff on time !

...does noob here just refer to a new (green) user? Or is it something else?
