Of course, I’m not trying to dismiss gains from harness, actually the opposite. But the narrative that 4.Y is an improvement over 4.X is essential to keep the model training music playing. If 90+% of the gains come from the harness, how can

Eh, maybe for the more luxurious properties? But plenty of landlords are operating on tight margins and they’re not legally allowed to raise rent by more than some measure of inflation reported by the state each year. But you’re right, the

As a New Yorker I'm thrilled. LVT/Landlording Tax next pls :) Edit: Actually, as a property tax of nonprimary residences, is this not also effectively also a Landlording tax? Will my landlord's tax bill go up because he'

I'm curious to poll HN on this issue. Do you feel like we've had meaningful/noticeable gains in terms of your programming workflows between 4.5 and 4.7? My 2¢, I personally feel like all of the productivity gains since 4.5&#x

One tangent, I believe sev-0 is actually "critical" (at least as how I'm used to reading it), and the higher you go the less critical something is. IMO as a github-watcher, I think they changed their definition of what consti

FWIW, I'm not convinced that chart is necessarily an accurate representation of pre-acquisition reality. It would really surprise me if GitHub did not have a single sev-0 pre-acquisition, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were n

It's a streak for continuous uptime, and yeah it is fairly depressing to imagine overseeing that :/

Oh wow, I'm in the position to be able to give a peek behind the curtain of something (validly!!) critiqued as AI slop! Exciting. I originally made the core data functionality of this site for myself because I was curious what the upti

https://isgithubcooked.com Normally I defend GH in the comments of these incidents but it’s been an impressively bad month by their standards, even when you filter for critical components filter out sev-2’s and 3’s.

I think of debt-avoidance sort of like teetotaling: I understand where it comes from and empathize with it but I tend to agree with you that total/dogmatic avoidance feels unnecessary and maybe even deleterious in the limit. Like alcoh

As a new yorker who loves pizza and could talk about it for hours, the median pizza place in naples is way better than the median pizza place in new york. :P "Italy" as a whole, I make no claims on.

It’s a very fractured and heterogeneous landscape where your own perspective will be warped by your personal experience. Anthropic has a lot of the market share and dominates the mind share, but each of Codex, Devin, Cursor, Claude, et al h

FWIW, I would expect this behavior more in white collar affluent areas more than the rural areas the GP comment is referring to. Many people get into these positions of affluence by participating in competitions that repeatedly normalize th

This idea has been around! I made this one in January to help slice and dice uptime by incident category. https://isgithubcooked.com

The discourse around AI is that we’ve unlocked a whole new unsupervised paradigm of development; but you’re basically describing how Google has built code for a decade, just with humans of different levels of trust instead of AI. And I’m no

IMO that site overcounts downtime. If you filter for major and critical outages (the kind that make the front page of HN), the story is still bad but it’s not 84.92% bad. https://isgithubcooked.com/?severities=major.critical

Oh yea I'm not trying to defend it as amazing or tolerable, just clarifying the actual benchmark/reality of their performance! I think at least three 9's would be the baseline. But I'm also sympathetic that they had a *p

In their defense, they dramatically "over"-report sev-2/3's (things like, avatar urls are not loading in saudi arabia), which makes their cumulative uptime look much worse than it is. If you filter for major/critica

FWIW, cursor (company) has a CLI tool/harness similar to Claude Code called agent. It’s existed for a long time, is quite good, and it is under-marketed (ironic for this thread). (Double-ironic disclosure… I work for Cursor. If you hav
