That was difficult to read, smelt very AI assisted though the message was worthwhile, it could've been shorter and more to the point.

A few things I've been thinking about recently:

- we have authentication everywhere in our stack, so I've started including the user id on every log line. This makes getting a holistic view of what a user experienced much easier.

- logging an error as a separate log line to the request log is a pain. You can filter for the trace, but it makes it hard to surface "show me all the logs for 5xx requests and the error associated" - it's doable, but it's more difficult than filtering on the status code of the request log

- it's not enough to just start including that context, you have to educate your coworkers that it's now present. I've seen people making life hard for themselves because they didn't realize we'd added this context

Wow, I didn't think this was badly written at all! I certainly don't think it smells like AI. Are you conflating lists with AI written prose?

My favorite benchmark is to analyze a very long audio file recording of a management meeting and produce very good notes along with a transcript labeling all the speakers. 2.5 was decently good at generating the summary, but it was terrible at labeling speakers. 3.0 has so far absolutely nailed speaker labeling.

Parakeet TDT v3 would be really good at that

> Despite attempts to make Atom—an Electron application—more responsive, it never reached the performance standards the team yearned for.

This feels like an attempt at deflecting blame. VSCode is another Electron application that ended up having better performance than Atom. There's another Electron adjacent application that has good performance, the one you're probably using right now to read this page.

Depending on page content of course

VSCode has good performance, especially for how feature complete it is, but it really has nothing on the boot speed of Zed

I had no idea Lydia was working for Bun now. Her technical writing is absolutely top notch

I remember asking for quotes about the Spanish conquest of South America because I couldn't remember who said a specific thing. The GPT model started hallucinating quotes on the topic, while DeepSeek responded with, "I don't know a quote about that specific topic, but you might mean this other thing." or something like that then cited a real quote in the same topic, after acknowledging that it wasn't able to find the one I had read in an old book. i don't use it for coding, but for things that are more unique i feel is more precise.

Was that true for GPT-5? They claim it is much better at not hallucinating

As someone who has lived in Brisbane, I can attest that it does a really good job of capturing the colour of the city. There is a unique golden hour shade there like no other city I have lived in.

> According to Anthropic’s commercial terms of service, customers are barred from using the service to “build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models”

That's... quite a license term. I'm a big fan of tools that come with no restrictions on their use in their licenses. I think I'll stick with them.

Would something like that hold up in court?

Ah this is a positive thread so not [flagged] - gotta say Hacker News really has been shameful of late with it's shutting down of the negative stories around Grok.

I'd assume that it's because they devolve into politics and Elon-bashing, rather than constructive discussion

I'm just about to leave for a long international flight, so this is absolutely perfect for me!

Glad I saw the comment about it being paid so I could get to the purchase screen before I lost internet. (As a side note, it says "Buy now for $3.99" but it's really $5.99 in my currency. Not sure if you can make the button match to the price in the locale)
