A few comments mentioning distillation. If you use claude-code with the z.ai coding plan, I think it quickly becomes obvious they did train on other models. Even the "you're absolutely right" was there. But that's ok. The price/performance ratio is unmatched.

I had Gemini 3 Flash hit me this morning with "you're absolutely right" when I corrected it on a mistake it did. It's not conclusive of anything.

"That's when I learned the difference between burnout and disillusionment. Burnout drains your body; disillusionment erases your purpose. You can recover from exhaustion with rest, but you need something else entirely to recover from meaninglessness."

This is an accurate pathology to burnout at least in my experience. I worked on many hard things in my life, from school to obsessing over hard problems on weekends but I never felt burned-out. I felt tired, but content.

It took 6 months of being stuck after reaching a local maxima in my career. I was working on menial, meaningless, tasks that I knew amounted to nothing while I was doing them. That caused my burnout.

Funny you should list those out. JS Import Maps (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...) are literally an industry standard while Inertia and Vite are decidedly NOT standards in any way, shape, or form.

Industry standards are not platform standards. React (enabled by Inertia) is in many ways is an industry standard for building UIs on the web today, yet it's not part of the platform. Same with Vite, it's the standard way to bundle on the web.

Decidedly, Import Maps are not used as a standard for dependency management in the web dev industry.

Stimulus and Hotwire are the "rails way" now. I've read the docs and they still confuse the hell out me. Seems like you're reinveting your own javascript components over and over again.

In my opinion Rails 8 + Intertia.js + React so much less "reinventing the wheel" (especially if you use shadcn components).

Most of the reason I've started losing interest in Rails and the DHH cult is their insistence that their homemade JS solutions (Stimulus, Hotwire, JS import maps) should be the default choice instead of industry standards like Intertia and Vite.

I am maintaining a Rails app with Vite + Interia + Vue, and it's many times easier to manage, develop, especially when working with LLMs that haven't been trained on DHH's new frontend experiments du jour.

I wonder if first-party offerings like Codex and Claude will follow suit. Most "agents" are utter nonsense, but they cooked with the CLI tools. It'd be a shame to let go of them.
hashbig · 3 months ago
Eventually that is the plan. Like we saw with Claude Code, they want developers to get a taste of that unlimited and unrestrained power of a state of the art model like Opus 4, then slowly limit usage until you fully transition to metered billing and deprecate subscription based billing.

The UN discredits itself: UNGA 2015-2023, 154 resolutions against Israel, 71 against all other countries _combined_.

Of course it stems from the anti-Israeli bias of its members: a single Jewish state against 57 Muslim states.

Or it stems from Israel committing more war crimes than other nations

I just logged in to Bluesky to see what the left think of this and I wish I hadn't.

I find it extremely disturbing that half the country are people who are very well educated, earning well above average from their white-collar careers, yet they still think political violence is acceptable or funny.

This country is doomed.

I am really bad at reading code to be honest (especially other people's code). Any tips on how I can go about becoming good at this like starting from baby steps?
hashbig · 4 months ago
Like everything else, practice. I like to clone repositories of open source tools I use and try to understand how a particular feature is built end to end. I find that reading code aimlessly is not that helpful. Try to read it with a goal in mind. When starting out, pick a tool/application that is very simple and lean on LLMs to explain only the bits you don't understand.

Damn, I really appreciate the decision to do this in a new product. Arc is the best browser I've ever used, and I'd hate to see AI features forced upon me. Thanks Browser Company!
hashbig · 4 months ago
I agree. I think Arc was the biggest innovation in browser UI since Chrome.

I think you will eventually have to switch because it will lack behind given that it's not their priority anymore. Zen browser seems like viable alternative but I haven't used it enough yet to know how well polished it is.

Where can I read about this? It still gets regular updates and is front and center on the browser company website
hashbig · 4 months ago
It was put on maintenance mode with minimal security updates to favour the development of their newer product Dia (AI browser).
