Anything’s better than the current Xcode autocomplete. My pet peeve is it will try to autocomplete any string you start typing with just random crap it thinks you might want in a string.

I think all autocomplete solution are crappy, no matter how sophisticated the AI. It is surprising how often the obvious choice is wrong, but it often just is. I deactivated it. Generating some code is fine, but I now prefer the deterministic autocomplete for my types I have available in my current context.

It now seems to be a choice of ‘let it autocomplete everything’ which because it’s shit so often is just draining and distracting. Or no autocomplete at all.

I just want it to fill in the names of function and variables and enums etc. just stuff that is sometimes hard to keep in your head but such a small suggestion it doesn’t mess up your line of thinking.

Sonnet only?

I'd encourage you to read TFA, but why bother? The submitter clearly didn't either.

I read it. I also searched the page for the word "Opus" and it didn't appear anywhere. The word "Sonnet" appears, but only once.

There's also "GPT-4.1 or GPT-5", but that's not what my question implied, which was that it's weird to offer Sonnet but not Opus.

3 days ago I saw another Claude praising submission on HN, and finally I signed up for it, to compare it with copilot. I asked 2 things. 1. Create a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton, for Pi Pico with st7789 spi display drivers configured. It generated garbage devicetree which didn't even compile. When I pointed it out, it apologized and generated another one that didn't compile. It configured also non-existent dri…

"What am I doing wrong?" Your first prompt is testing Claude as an encyclopedia: has it somehow baked into its model weights the exactly correct skeleton for a "Zephyr project skeleton, for Pi Pico with st7789 spi display drivers configured"? Frequent LLM users will not be surprised to see it fail that. The way to solve this particular problem is to make a correct example available to it. Don't expect it to just know…

This is where knowing how to break things down and general analytical skills will come in handy.

The song contains many instances of cosmic irony[0], as well as a few instances of other types of irony (e.g. "Well isn't this nice?"). [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony#Types_of_irony

Rain on your wedding day is not cosmic irony or any other kind. It's simply misfortune.

The implication of "rain on your wedding day" is that your wedding day is something you plan out extensively, trying to create some perfect event. And yet it can still be thwarted by weather. Obviously it takes some interpretation since it's a situation compressed into a 1-line song lyric but yes it can (and should, given that the song is called "ironic") be read as an example of cosmic irony.

What's more ironic, a wedding on a rainy day, or rain on a wedding day?

LLMs struggle more with embedded software due to the relative lack of examples in the training data compared to javascript etc. They also struggle more with visual reasoning tasks like the character example you provided.

For your first task - give it smaller steps along the way that you can validate. Provide context where possible (like docs for st7789, examples of other zephyr projects). Use Opus instead of Sonnet for tasks that are on the edge of it's capabilities like this. It will still make mistakes, be prepared for iterating on the design and providing feedback.

For your font example, you always need to validate the output of the LLM, but did it still save you time? If so then I consider that a win. If not, give it the task that it's good at (ie generating the surrounding code and definitions) and then fill in the font data yourself.

umm I don't know what you are talking about, I use a Github Copilot 40 USD subscription in VSCode to code using various models, and this is the industry standard now in my region, as most employers are now giving employees the 10 USD subscription.

In what industry? Not where I am where unless customers actually sign a permission no one is allowed to come close to those tools in project delivery.

Software engineering, all software companies now pay for the VSCode copilot subscription.
