techwiz137 commented on What makes Claude Code so damn good minusx.ai/blog/decoding-c... · Posted by u/samuelstros

I've used Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot is Vscode and I don't "know" that Claude Code is better apart from the fact that it runs in the terminal, which makes it a little faster but less ergonomic than tools running inside the editor. All of the context tricks can be done with Copilot instructions as well, so I simply can't see how Claude Code is superior.

For code generation, nothing so far beats Opus. More likely than not it generated working code and fixed bugs that Gemini 2.5 pro couldn't solve or even Gemini Code Assist. Gemini Code Assist is better than 2.5 pro, but has way more limits per prompt and often truncates output.

The problem with quantum physics is that it's also a matter of interpretation.

It's like interpreting the body language: what you think could true only from your cultural perspective about people who share your culture.

I do not particularly agree with this. I don't think this analogy works.

I had a heart attack moment thinking they were bringing some form of Adobe Flash back.

> the first experimental evidence of a supersolid phase in a driven-dissipative, non-equilibrium system using exciton-polaritons in a photonic crystal waveguide.

This is just messing with us right? Star trek level technobabble?

Just kidding, seems an exciting result, even if it flies way over my head.

Photons, held by force-fields? Sounds Trekky.

It is possible you are addicted to the caffeine rather than Diet Coke.

Did you try switching to coffee or caffeine pills?

techwiz137 · 6 months ago

I like the taste. This is why Monster energy and Coca Cola are my only two drinks. With a hint of 7-up.

I was hooked on diet coke until one day I decided to take a break, and my tongue felt... weird. It felt slightly fizzy as if my brain was signaling that it was time to drink diet coke. On top of that, I felt lazy for a couple days.

I'm glad I was that self aware because I stopped drinking it everyday. Maybe 1 or two a month.

I attempted this just recently, I went 12+hrs without caffeine intake and I had the worst, headache that wouldn't go away with regular pills. Basically very intense caffeine withdrawal.

Ok… I’ll be the one to rudely ask, how tall and how much do you weight. I’ll drink 1L of sugar free coke a day, but that’s my definite limit

techwiz137 · 6 months ago

167cm, and 63-65kg.

Yeah I used to do 2-4 2-liters per day before I gave it up around 12 years ago. I’m hoping that, to the extent it does damage, the effect stops when you stop drinking it.

As far as I've read, our coke zero has a lot of added phosporus or a source of, it seems to somehow bind to calcium leading to perhaps bone loss.

I had an injury I thought was unrelated, but could be. Premature ankle joint wear. On inspection from a CAT scan machine, I was told I seem to have some abrasions on the bone around the damaged area, likely from or similar to osteoporosis and/or osteoarthritis.

How is there not a slam dunk answer to whether this 50+ year old incredibly popular ingredient is ok for us or not?

techwiz137 · 6 months ago

I can be a case study. I drink over 2 liters of Coca-Cola with aspartame, per day, every day on an empty stomach. With an energy drink, containing aspartame. I am not bragging, it is an addiction.
