That's a bit like saying just give blind people cameras so they can see.

Agreed. I love the elegance of ARC, but it always felt like a gotcha to give spatial reasoning challenges to token generators- and the fact that the token generators are somehow beating it anyway really says something.

Could write a similar post about their cloud UI. Feel like you have so little control over the thing. I think Cursor has an uphill battle by having to go through the API, but they certainly do a better job of making conversations and contex

Same thought. If anything I'm usually trying to find ways to reduce how much context is carried over.

"Flow-state inducers" is interesting, and I think you're onto something. There's something so satisfying about getting working code so easily, feeling like you're jumping from one solution to the next.

Yes. Programmers might be especially susceptible precisely because our advanced understanding makes us think we cannot be easily fooled. But we are also easier to impress: only we understand how difficult it is to one-shot code a working ap

Helpful, absolutely, but only if you're solving the right problem. Solving the wrong problem with AI is doubly harmful because it will almost always give you something that runs, but now you are on a path that takes a lot of willpower

> Always Have an Agent Running I'm a huge believer in AI agent use and even I think this is wrong. It's like saying "always have something compiling" or "make sure your Internet is always downloading something&qu

That makes sense. I've thought for a while that having an agent that takes initiative rather than reacting to inputs could be really useful, and I imagine it takes a lot of trial and error to make it take just the right amount of initi

I'm still trying to understand what makes this project worthy of like 100K Github stars overnight. What's the secret sauce? Is it just that it has a lot of integrations? Like what makes this so much more successful than the ten th

Wow great writeup and holy cow that's bad - I'm still trying to understand what OpenClaw/Moltbot can do that makes it worth this to so many people.

Yeah it's wild we blame GDPR instead of the companies that decide tracking us is worth our inconvenience

This is the 5th OpenAI product called Codex if I'm counting correctly

by causal 8mo ago
Yeah use Flash 3 for easy + fast stuff, but it can't hold the plot like Opus or Codex 5

I like this way of framing the problem, and it might even be a good way to self-evaluate your use of AI: Try vibe-writing a novel and see how coherent it is. I suspect part of the reason we see such a wide range of testimonies about vibe-co

To be clear, since I'm past the edit window: I think Ozempic is an amazing drug, it's just unfortunate how popular it is to hate on people for using a drug they need.

Not really, probably a majority of Americans look down on people using Ozempic

I've had the same suspicion for various providers - if I had time and motivation I would put together a private benchmark that runs hourly and chart performance over time. If anyone wants to do that I'll upvote your Show HN :)

Yeah, lots of "change your habits" type responses that won't change the reason we're here.

Sigh. Lines of code is not execution man. Having functional apps is not execution. A full stack, AWS-deployed, multi-stage scaleable microservices wonder is not execution! LLMs make it a lot easier to build MVPs, but the hard work of VALIDA

My friends love this game, but we've found a bug: The reported time in the win modal differs from the time copied to clipboard when you share.

Same. Abandoned fly for Digital Ocean when I found myself hitting my head against the wall trying to get their "just works" to work too often.

Huh. That doesn't sound like a browser at all. But okay, thanks for the summary!

What is Pinokio? The website just says "Your PC is the Cloud" - what?

Unsure why you were downvoted; I'm curious to understand this comment. Playing finance and accounting games I presume you mean.

Ah you're right, scrolled past that - the most salient contrast in the chart is still just GPT-5 vs GPT-4, and it feels easy to contrive such results by pinning one model's response as "ideal" and making that a benchmark

by causal 9mo ago
And the example given was specific to OpenAI models, yet the title is a blanket statement. I agree with the author that GPT-5 models are much more fixated on solving exactly the problem given and not as good at taking a step back and thinki

I don't understand how a component library would be AI-proof in a way CSS templates are not.
