First impression(s):

1/ it took me a while to understand this is a social network. I thought it was about giving me more visibility into my sessions/token usage

2/ Unless I am missing something it should be pretty easy to game the system.

3/ I think that landing the user on a global feed of all users will help

The inherent problem with evaluating coding performance of models remains: most day-to-day coding tasks are open-ended/partially-spec'd, and as such there is huge uncertainty on how the "right" solution looks.

It's very hard to rank models' solutions on such problems, which is why they rarely appear in benchmarks (I'd be glad to stand corrected).

Even Opus 4.5 coding a C compiler from scratch - jaw-dropping as it is - doesn't tell the whole story. Most of my tasks are not that well spec'd.

After a quick bit of sleuthing, I believe it's this one: https://archive.org/details/ataribooks-atari-games-and-recre...

Page 47 for Tortoise and the Hare, page 245 for the Atari drawing.

Thank you! That's the one. Amazing sleuthing.

It took me several reads to distill their post to this one sentence: "Enterprise Account contracts will no longer be offered to new customers"

I'd be glad to stand corrected but AFAICT this is the only sentence that describes the change. All other say "nothing is changing in [some area]".

Trying to downplay something to that extent immediately raises suspicious that this something (the change) is much more profound that what is stated.

Wow that's a good piece. It propelled me into writing this: https://dev.to/itay-maman/the-elephant-in-the-room-systems-t...

In short: the tension described in "systems thinking" is the same one as the one between "spec driven" vs. "iterative prompting"

My first reaction: wow, incredible.

My second reaction: still incredible, but noting that a C compiler is one of the most rigorously specified pieces of software out there. The spec is precise, the expected behavior is well-defined, and test cases are unambiguous.

I'm curious how well this translates to the kind of work most of us do day-to-day where requirements are fuzzy, many edge cases are discovered on the go, and what we want to build is a moving target.

Important: I didn't see opus 4.6 in claude code. I have native install (which is the recommended instllation). So, I re-run the installation command and, voila, I have it now (v 2.1.32)

Installation instructions: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview#get-started-in-30-s...
