our hands on review: https://www.latent.space/p/gpt-5-review

basically in my testing really felt that gpt5 was "using tools to think" rather than just "using tools". it gets very powerful when coding long horizon tasks (a separate post i'm publishing later).

to give one substantive example, in my developer beta (they will release the video in a bit) i put it to a task that claude code had been stuck on for the last week - same prompts - and it just added logging to instrument some of the failures that we were seeing and - from the logs that it added and asked me to rerun - figured out the solve.

”I think GPT-5 is the closest to AGI we’ve ever been”

Sorry, but this sounds like overly sensational marketing speak and just leaves a bad taste in the mouth for me.

I like to use txtar files for snapshot testing. I let one of the file fields contain the expected output and one or more contain the input(s). Most mainstream languages already have txtar parsers so this approach makes it trivial to port an entire test suite across languages.

See https://docs.rs/txtar/latest/txtar/ for an example

Irrelevant to me. People would never ask whether someone has created something looking at SO or not. If the thing works as advertised, good for them!

To some people the process leading to a finished project is the most interesting thing about posts like these.

I’d like to add: Programs should not add files to your home directory and should respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME and friends.

As every year, I try to solve it with 1 sql statement for every challenge, https://gitlab.com/feike/adventofcode/-/tree/master/2024, likely going to get stuck again around day 12/13 or so!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. It feels good to have some company in this, I will follow your progress!

I created a repo for my solutions here: https://github.com/lyxell/aoc2024-sqlite

Update: Wow. Reading your solutions was a real eye-opener for me. It never struck me that one can exploit the fact that unmaterialized CTE's will not be evaluated for rows that is not needed by another SELECT and one can use this the same way one uses laziness in Haskell. This is great stuff, thanks again for sharing!

I've solved some days in past years with sqlite + enough awk to transform the input into something that can be imported into a table. It can be a fun challenge.

I’m allowing myself to convert the data to a csv and read it using ’.mode csv’.

I realized when solving todays problem that SQLite’s

  json_each("[" || T.c1 || "]")
Is useful for parsing comma separated rows into (row, col)-pairs as well.

I’m using sqlite this year. Hoping that there won’t be any computational geometry or trie problems. Kind of hoping for a graph problem solvable with recursive CTEs, that would be cool.

The API looks really nice and intuitive! What motivated you to build this?
