I have no love for Altman - he Altman seems like a (very successful) huckster to me, but I also read the sexual assault allegations as coming from a very mentally disturbed person, to the point that I'm not going to use that data point as part of my judgement of him.

I know nothing about these claims or Altman, but this argument fits the pattern of three commonplace threads that I hope people will notice in these situations: 1) Smearing the attacker: When someone unknown accuses or opposes a powerful public person, a standard response is to smear the accuser's credibility and reputation, creating doubts in onlookers, and causing day-to-day harm and high levels of stress and press…

Notice that I never said that the claim was false. I said that it would not be a data point that I use to judge Altman. I have no ability to verify, or even guess at the veracity of the claims.

Canvas lets you interact with and edit code/documents more fluidly. I used it to transform my HTML blog into TypeScript in no time! Super helpful for coding and experimenting. https://x.com/mustafaergisi/status/1841946224682774536

How do you go from html to typescript?

I think they mean at the end of the clip they drag the slider from HTML to Typescript and it puts all of the blog data into structured Typescript data then writes a function which will generate an HTML page from that. The resulting blog output will still eventually be HTML, it's just whether the entries are made as data segments automatically stitched together or entered via raw HTML formatting.

Have you considered this one: https://github.com/continuedev/continue

I tried it a while back and had a lot of trouble getting it to work, it's on my list to try again. I also tried Sourcegraph's Cody and just constant errors even after paying for the Pro plan so now I'm back on Copilot.

Hey, product manager from sourcegraph here. Sorry to hear you got errors. What were the errors, and where were you using Cody (VS Code, Web, or JetBrains)?

I used OpenAI Canvas to help with the conversion. Essentially, I took the static HTML/CSS and wrote TypeScript to dynamically render blog posts.

Yawn. I don't use Claude because the interface is good. I use it because Opus 3 is the best model anyone has ever created for long context coding, writing and retrieval. Give me a model that doesn't have polluted dataset to game MMLU scores, something that tangibly gives good results, and maybe I'll care again. For now I only keep ChatGPT because it's better Google.

I've found Sonnet 3.5 significantly better than Opus 3 at coding but I've not done much long context coding with it. In your experience did you find Opus 3 to degrade less or is it that you consider Sonnet 3.5 part of the "gamed" group?

JetBrains IDEA. Here is at least one of the errors I got:

I expected the last line of the blog post to have said something like "this blog post was created using the help of Canvas" - a missed opportunity or the product not being there yet?

Also is this in response to the recent notebooklm which seems awfully too good as an experiment?

Can this be used to refactor a codebase? Or is it meant to be used on just a single file?

The single file aspect of many of these answers is what grinds me as well. I mean, it's fantastic for a short script, a function/class template, or a crack at the syntax error... but it becomes a huuuuge pain even when it's something as simple as a .h for the file you're working on.
