> Opus downloaded all comments of HackerNews, filtered them, ran Sonnet over them in a Workflow (Claude Code feature), got rid of spam, and narrowed everything down to 40K comments recommending a YouTube video.

This part. And Andrej even mentioned he uses medium! I wonder what went into the prompt that prompted the agent to dig deep. Mine seems to stop at very mediocre results fairly consistently and then I just reprompt it a couple of times and it does some back and forth contradicting itself.

I have projects and I made real apps using only LLMs, but it feels tedious. Definitely not a 2 hour thing. And definitely not magical and smooth sadly :(

Out of curiosity - was this created using claude code? Cli or gui? I am not even remotely getting that kind of thoroughness from claude with opus 5.5 or anything really. It seems to want to stop as soon as it thinks it figured things out and then the rest of the conversation is just itself saying that its previous claims were wrong.

Really having a bad time with LLMs lately.

Came in to say exactly that. That’s what’s holding me back from upgrading my older Pro. I refuse to go back to 60hz.

I seriously can’t understand why there’s so much respect for anyone that works at Meta.

These people have arguably contributed nothing to society for over a decade (and maybe even made it worse in some instances) for very fat salaries, and yet they’re being praised for being the example of best engineers.

I periodically use their websites and they’re horrible!

Seriously, we should know better as the dev-tech society.

And I don’t give a darn about their research that is being built on top of barely legal mass surveillance so don’t tell me their contributions from stealing data were helpful.

Sonnet 5 had the same problem with ‘max’. In a free sub, I would never get an answer back even for very simple prompts. It would just churn on nothing and return max token usage reached.

I’m not sure whether that’s a feature or a bug at this point though.

I’ve asked Astra to build me an app for a prototype I created quickly using Sonnet.

It’s been 2 days and it made no real progress on the actual app. It created docs, scripts, workflows, and it’s doing a bunch of reviewing on every PR.

I told it that I just need an MVP.

I’m pretty sure an average senior engineer would have finished that task much quicker, and guaranteed with more readable, higher-quality code. Meanwhile, I think I’ve easily crossed 100k tokens so far on nothing.

Funny world we’re living in that this is “SOTA” and “AGI”.

I’m genuinely curious what these OAI and A/ engineers are working on that they praise these models so much. I did not see any improvement since Opus 4.5.

Also, I’m really unimpressed by any “one shot” demo that’s out there in the wild. It means nothing for serious software engineering.

“The largest iPhone display ever”

Gosh I hate that idiotic marketing.

What’s the token usage of xhigh?

I really wish Firefox will catch up on the debug/devtools front. Nonetheless, I use FF as much as I can on both my mobile and desktop devices.

I will never buy another laptop with less than a 500 nits display, no matter its specs/price.

I can’t believe virtually every other manufacturer is still making laptops with 250-300 nits.

Spending a full day looking at a dim, washed-out screen is just the worst experience ever. The fact that out of all manufacturers, Apple, which is considered the “expensive” and “premium” brand, made the Neo with 500 nits at that price point is just amazing to me. The rest have no excuse for putting these displays in laptops anymore.

I think the idea of leveraging AI to find useless PRs is right.

I didn’t like the second part though where it starts banning people for “bad behavior”.

I get that AI resistance will be a thing in the next few years, but realistically engineers who plan on being around for the next 20-30 years just need to embrace it instead of being sour about it.

Because of machines, things have arguably improved for humanity as a whole. People who seek more elevated/finer products can still turn to handcrafted products.

Mass software will be produced by AI, and it will scale just fine.

Agreed. People seem to hold views that getting visas to the US is a human right.

It’s no fun, but these are adults (and often very privileged adults) that decided to move to a new country for more upside at the cost of no residency.

Conflating this with “inhumane” is just a basic misunderstanding of immigration and the contract these people signed up for.

Very uncomfortable, yet a risk these people took, and hopefully a conscious one.

By owned by other people you meant the Ottomans, right?

Cause they seemed to be just fine selling that land.

Also “ignoring the partition”? Literally the day the partition was adopted, the Arab league attacked Israel. 6 nations to 1, yet Israelis outsmarted them all (which is why you keep hating us).

If that ethnic group assembles a military group that invades your border and slaughters 1200 of your people in 1 day, then retaliation is expected. FAFO.

But I suspect you know nothing about Jews besides social media.

Next thing you’ll say we’re not native to that land right? We only lived in the middle east forever, but our food is cultural appropriation too, right?

I think you’ve been brainwashed so I’m out. Peace.

It has been attacked by a Palestinian militia terrorist group. Is it waging old testament wars? No, but it is retaliating at a rate the western world refuses to accept because the western world has different, much much milder kind of problems.

It’s not “whataboutism”, it’s micro geo political trends. Know the difference.

It’s mostly the national settlers that pull it toward extremism at its current state, not Haredim.

But it’s also October 7 that made the average joe even more extreme in their opinions.

It has been captured by bloodthirsty clique is true. But so does the US and every other nation around Israel.

Just check the facts about each and every government in the middle east.

I don’t support Netanyahu, and so does close to 50% of Israelis.

Qatar is spreading fake information and is funding Hamas as well as anti-Israel classes in major US colleges.

If you don’t trust Netanyahu then you should disregard the link you shared as well and that just strengthens my point.

These pile of rocks were funded by Qatar and that money could’ve been used to build schools instead of funding Hamas tunnels.
