‘…now has access to a server-side container environment’ Headline demonstrates why SWEa don’t have to worry about vive coders eating their lunch. Vibe-coders don’t know what a container is, nor why it would be good for it to be in the context of an environment (what’s an environment?), or be server-side for that matter. Now if there were a course that instructed all this kind of architectural tradecraft that isn’t ta…

I don’t think any serious programmer feels threatened by vibe coders

At most it’s just a maintenance issue. A junior dev or plucky marketing team member might produce something that makes it to production and the senior devs might have to probe it to do more things

"can't be overstated", you mean

This one is interesting because I have seen a fair amount of "can't be understated" on reddit also. Interesting case of linguistic drift.

linguistic drift my ass

There must be a term coined for AI degradation... At least with local LLM, it's crap, but it's consistent crap!

Dynamic spurious profit probing. See how many users N times their usage without giving up forever. They have to do something because you can't really fist advertisements into an api

OP is paying $200/m and anthropic is very much in the hyper funded growth stage. I very much doubt they are going accountant mode on it yet

Likely the common young startup issues: a mix of scaling issues and poorly implemented changes. Improve one thing, make other stuff worse etc

I’m sure they’ll add support, they literally just launched

(a) it's not that GitLab just launched (b) it's an allowlist rule, not rocket science (c) where's all this mythical "agent gonna do all the things for me" world?

Whitelisting these hosts mean they become extraction vectors for prompt manipulation. In fact it’s mentioned in the grant parent’s article at the end. So yes, it takes a while to do this right.

To everyone who has been feeling like their MAX subscription is a waste of money, give GLM 4.5 a try, i use it with claude code daily on the $3 plan and it has been great

It looks like the $3 plan is only a promo price for the 1st month and it's actually $6/mo, or am I missing something? https://z.ai/payment?productIds=product-6caada

Yes it is. But totally worth it. Just got it and its quite good and quite fast. Clearly they are subsidizing even at $6.

It feels like using sonnet speed wise but with opus quality (i mean pre August Opus/sonnet -> no clue what Anthropic did after that. It's just crap now).

Anyone else having serious reliability issues with artifact editing? I find that the artifacts quite often get "stuck", where the LLM is trying to edit the artifact but the state of the artifact does not change. Seems like the LLM is somehow failing in editing the artifact silently, while thinking that it is actually doing the edits. The way to resolve this is to ask Claude to make a new artifact, which then has all…

I saw this yesterday. I was asking it to update an SQL query and it was saying, 'I did this' and then that wasn't in the query. I even saw it put something in the query and then remove it, and then say 'here it is'.

Maybe it's because I use the free tier web interface, but I can't get any AI to do much for me. Beyond a handful of lines (and less yesterday) it just doesn't seem that great. Or it gives me pages of javascript to show a date picker before I RTFM and found it's a single input tag to do that, because it's training data was lots of old and/or bad code and didn't do it that way.

Way less clear. Anthropic did it right and wrote about the “so what” instead of focusing on the underlying mechanics.

The original headline made absolutely no sense to me, as a Claude user, and did not in fact convey what this would be used for. Claude already has the ability to make or edit files, as artifacts in the web interface, and with the Write tool in Code.

Likewise, I read the original title and skipped over it because I assumed someone posted about the feature, not knowing it has been available for months already.

I just published an extensive review of the new feature, which is actually Claude Code Interpreter (the official name, bafflingly, is Upgraded file creation and analysis - that's what you turn on in the features page at least). I reverse-engineered it a bit, figured out its container specs, used it to render a PDF join diagram for a SQLite database and then re-ran a much more complex "recreate this chart from this sc…

Given their relationship with AWS, I wonder if this feature just runs the agent core code interpreter behind the scenes.
