Using this is the first time since GPT-4 where I've been shocked at how good a model is.

It's helped by how smooth the 'artifact' UI is for iterating on html pages, but I've been instructing it to make a simple web app one bit of functionality at a time and it's basically perfect (and even quite fast).

I'm sure it will be like GPT-4 and the honeymoon period will wear off to reveal big flaws but honestly I'd take this over an intern (even ignoring the speed difference)

This is fantastic. I know it's bells-and-whistles and not the core offering, but a thing that keeps me on the $20/month chatgpt (as opposed to using the API) for my use case (mostly interactive data exploration) is its ability to actually run the code it generates. The ergonomics of chatgpt's ability to answer a question by writing and then executing some python and then even displaying a graph are really important t…

It might not work for your usecase, but it now has the ability to generate html/js and then put it in a frame for you.

I don't think it can actually see the output, but you can which might be enough.

>does the period of a point mass moving in a potential well depend on its mass? "For a simple harmonic oscillator, the period does not depend on the mass of the object. However, for a general potential well, the answer is more nuanced: Simple harmonic oscillator: In this case, the period T is given by: T = 2π√(m/k) where m is the mass and k is the spring constant. However, the frequency of oscillation ω = √(k/m), so…

Related to this, I wish the Claude interface had built-in math rendering like ChatGPT. Claude's ascii math output can be a bit hard to parse.

I wish they'd implement branching conversations like in ChatGPT. And convenient message editing, that doesn't paste large chunks of text as an non-editable attachment or break formatting. Seems like such a simple thing to do, relative to developing an AI, yet the minor differences in the UI/UX are what prevents me from using claude a lot more.

Even with this new model, at the bottom of the page I see something like "Claude can't yet run the code it generates." But if I ask it to run the code it has generated for me, it confidently generates output that looks like the output of that code should look, with the wrong numbers (off by a factor of about a million in the case of my toy question). When I tell it it's off by a factor of a million it regenerates the output, and is wrong again.

I'm sure you're not the only one who will feel this way. I worry for the future prospects of people starting their careers. The impacts will affect everyone in one way or another, not just those with limited experience. No way to know what the future holds.
