I actually was a Cursor advocate / CC hater (go back in my comment history), and now I use only TUI coding harnesses. To start a big part is just the efficacy of them, which comes down to the model and the harness logic itself. CC is g

You have to have the models the create tools for you to paint. I have a side project which is an experiment to build an interesting quick UI for local AI. As part of it I want a very very specific, interesting look involving shaders, animat

Apple does rein them in heavily, they push back on specs all the time, somewhat effectively.

If you decry bloated web apps and use Chrome on their Mac... there's Safari. It's far more efficient and has a far snappier UI.

Safari is better than Chrome and FF in enough ways I'd argue it can be considered the best of the three, even to people in tech. The dev tools are just way behind.

Bun has never really been well run. Every feature it had was full of bugs and gaps. And every release fixed a few but broke others. They released more major features and breaking changes in their last patch release than most software sees

No counterfactual there either though.

With one paragraph in your agents.md it's fixed, just admonish it to be proactive, decisive, and persistent.

The way I’ve come to think of LLM is that what the produce in a single reply even with thinking turned up, is akin to what you’d do in a single short session of work. And so if you ask it to do something big it will do a very surface level

4.5 was clearly better than .6 and .7. Like, clear as day. .6 is some sort of quantized or distilled .5 with a bit more RL, and the current .5 is that same cost reduced model without the extra RL.

by nwienert 6mo ago
Agree on all counts, 4.5 was a monster, 4.6 a clear regression, and then 4.5 was dumbed down so I moved on.

It's significantly worse on Mac than iOS, which gives you the answer. On iOS it's fine, even good. I prefer it, as a designer. On Mac it's a mess, and obviously spent less time baking.

Minimax is nowhere near Opus in my tests, though for me at least oddly 4.6 felt worse than 4.5. I haven't use Minimax extensively, but I have an API driven test suite for a product and even Sonnet 4.6 outperforms it in my testing unles

I found it worse, in a very clear way.

by nwienert 6mo ago
4.5 is better than 4.6 though in practice. 4.6 was purely a cost savings change with enough benchmark gamification to look better.

For many years I was using yarn with 0 issue on massive monorepos, and every year I'd hear people hyping pnpm, I'd try and switch, run into multiple bugs often open issues in pnpm itself, yes even without their link strategy, then

Curious on this - what was the prompt like? How did you give it access to listings?

After a month of obliterating work with 4.5, I spent about 5 days absolutely shocked at how dumb 4.6 felt, like not just a bit worse but 50% at best. Idk if it's the specific problems I work on but GP captured it well - 4.5 listened an

Their native app actually feels surprisingly good, web less so, it's not a RN thing.

For me, it's just plain worse.

Tirzepatide specifically seems especially beneficial, likewise here. Years of slowly increasing symptoms since I was young, lifelong annoying issues, basically all gone on it. And also not overweight at all, I take below lowest dose and ski

The fact you assume to know what my issue is is wild, and especially since you're just completely wrong - I have no direct GLP-1 issue, my levels are normal. It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Every single

It's a miracle drug for reducing immune overreach, like better than anything we know of. This is also completely outside of the weight loss effects. My lower back is improved by it. It'll come to be known that these drugs are far

Software is pretty solid as of latest release. EX90 is a sleeper pick now because of the bad press being behind the latest software.

Not clearly a step up for me, it's way more hesitant it seems and I don't notice context being larger at all it seems to compact just as often.

Made me want to invest in Volvo. They fixed most of the software issues, what's left is a shockingly nice experience. Touch screen can be a bit annoying is all, but Google integration and design of the UX in the touchscreen is really g
