Leaderboards are not that useful for measuring real-life effectiveness of the models atleast in my day-today usage.
I am currently struggling to diagnose an ipv6 mis-configuration in my enormous aws cloudformation yaml code. I gave the same input to Claude Opus, Gemini and ChatGPT ( o1 and 4o).
4o was the worst. verbose and waste of my time.
Claude completely went off-tangent and began recommending fixes for ipv4 while I specifically asked for ipv6 issues
o1 made a suggestion which I tried out and it fixed it. It literally found a needle in the haystack. The solution is working well now.
Gemini made a suggestion which almost got it right but it was not a full solution.
I must clarify diagnosing network issues on AWS VPC is not my expertise and I use the LLMs to supplement my knowledge.
Sonnet 3.5 as of today is superior to Opus, curious if sonnet could have solved your problem
it is generally well understood that plant protein is less bioavailable than animal protein

the 'data' used is pretty suspicious in this article
obviously, international founders moving to america will have a better time raising money
and if you're selling B2B SaaS and 90% of your customers are physically headquartered in SF, you're handicapping yourself living elsewhere.. at some level people will just ignore your sales motion if they don't see a san francisco headquarters on the website
i've lived in both SF and NYC and worked on my own startup in both
NYC has a pretty vibrant startup ecosystem but doesn't compare with SF, except for some reason there's way more healthcare founders in NYC (prob bc bay area healthcare scene is dominated by large hospital systems that are impossible to sell to)
but SF is such a disgusting city overrun with homeless people and crime NYC isn't exactly the prettiest either but pick your poison i guess
i personally prefer south bay over SF hope SF gets its act together since I don't feel safe living there

Seems like the author is a slow metabolizer like me. Interestingly enough, it seems that the caffeine half life can be shortened by eating broccoli (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17266520/) - by having coffee in the mornings and broccoli with dinner I've been able to enjoy the mood boosting effects of caffeine during the day and still be able to sleep fine.
Sleep quality aside though, I thought my anxiety was due to stressful job, but maybe it's due to all the caffeine I have in an attempt to be productive.. perhaps something to experiment with myself.
amazing, we need more housing supply
