Not entirely unexpected given that these models have 2x - 5x more parameters than the 120b gpt-oss model.
It’s impressive their performance gets so close given the size!

I too have seen anecdotes that people "feel" more productive. But science says that they're 19% less productive. I'm going to go with science on this one.
The study that said devs were 19% less productive was flawed in a number of ways: small sample size, poorly chosen tasks, no prior training on AI tools.
The science is by no means conclusive. A joint Harvard / MIT study found developers completed tasks up to 50% faster [0]!

I don’t know if it’s AI, but where I live in the Bay Area, Waste Management spies on the contents of our recycling bins with cameras when the truck picks them up.
I have gotten warning emails with evidence of some transgression or another about 4 times since November 2024. All it says is “we found that at least one of your carts was filled incorrectly.”
Cool!
The best thing is the evidence they provide. It’s a blurry and pixelated 320 x 320 image that shows what could literally be anything.
I take care of an outdoor cat in the neighborhood, and yes it's possible that a coyote will eat a cat or small dog.
I live near a trail which also serves as a wildlife corridor, including coyotes that we regularly see on our dog walks. Years ago, we had a feral cat that we would feed and care for (including neutering). He remained outside because he refused to even be brought inside, let alone live with us. This guy was huge, and looked like he had won his share of fights with the scars to prove it. If a cat would survive in the wild, it would be this guy. But even he wasn’t tough enough to hold off (what I assume were) coyotes forever, and one day he just quit coming around.
After that I’ve noticed that we just don’t have outdoor cats in our neighborhood.
(And for context, we aren't out in the boonies; this is within the city limits of Redmond, WA, where the local elementary gets locked down about once a year because mama bear and her cubs showed up off that same trail.)
I lived in a semi-rural area with some foothills behind our property growing up.
I distinctly remember that our neighbor had a number of different cats over the years. They were never around that long. He always named them _C.B._
I never thought much of it, maybe he was just a fan of chatting of radios.
I was in my teenager when I finally realized what C.B. stood for in this context: Coyote Bait

So you went from being able to handle at most 10 or so of these tasks you often get per week, to >500/week. Did you reap any workplace benefits from this insane boost in productivity?
My house has never been cleaner. I have time to catch up on chores that I normally do during the weekend. Dishes, laundry, walk the dog more.
It seems silly but it’s opened up a lot of extra time for some of this stuff. Heck, I even play my guitar more, something I’ve neglected for years. Noodle around while I wait for Claude to finish something and then I review it.
All in all, I dig this new world. But I also code JS web apps for a living, so just about the easiest code for an LLM to tackle.
EDIT: Though I think you are asking about work specifically. i.e., does management recognize your contributions and reward you?
For me, no. But like I said, I get more done at work and more done at home. It’s weird. And awesome.
davely commented on LLM codegen go brrr – Parallelization with Git worktrees and tmux skeptrune.com/posts/git-w... · Posted by u/skeptrune
I run 2 "developers" and myself. Also with tmux, in 3 windows, but I just clone the repo for the 2 developers and then manually pull into my copy when I think it's done. I see various people/sites mentioning git worktrees. I know what it is, but how is it better?
git worktrees optimize how data is shared across multiple directories. So, you’re not cloning and duplicating a bunch of code on your machine and just referencing data from the original .git folder.
The only downsides I’ve seen:
1. For JS projects at least, you still need to npm install or yarn install for all packages. This can take a bit of time.
2. Potentially breaks if you have bespoke monorepo tooling that your infra team won’t accept updates for, why is this example so specific, I don’t know just accept my PR please. But I digress.
I don't wear an Apple watch but I do wear a smartwatch, and I can't imagine a reason to want this website on it.
I find myself doing this randomly when I don’t have access to my phone (believe it or not, it happens for legit reasons) through something called ųBrowser.
It’s probably masochistic but it works in a pinch. I’ve been thinking of writing my own watch app to do this, as well as an app that could use the Feedbin API.
