I understand that to be the "emergent abilities" which are spoken about. There are correlations in the dataset that are strong enough for it to seem to have an understanding which wasn't obvious it would have from simply "predicting the next word".
Maybe irrelevant to your point, but I'd argue they were really good already in May if one used the right workflow (planning etc.). They've become better, but they're not saving me significantly more time now than they did 12 months ago.
Agreed, async function coloring makes for better structured code because it incentivizes keeping IO code near the edges while having a synchronous core.
I doubt it, the difference between someone slightly inefficient and someone extremely efficient isn't big enough to matter compared to how much they cost in salary.
That doesn't make it not true though. Markdown generally supports HTML (though oftentimes only a subset), and is typically styled using CSS. Using a web view makes complete sense to me.
> But are we really saying that the primary motivation for async/await is performance?
Of course - what else would it be? The whole async trend started because moving away from each http request spawning (or being bound to) an OS thread gave quite extreme improvements in requests/second metrics, didn't it?
I haven't made a ESP32 design, but I recently learnt KiCad and PCB design enough to do a RP235x board with a non-reference design choice (1.8v VDDIO). I only used the official hardware guide + LLMs for questions, and had it work on the first try - it wasn't too hard!
But dependencies are part of a website? It literally says "Still here when the internet isn't." - but I can't go on there without an internet connection?
I use Claude for work and Codex for private use due to already having a Plus subscription.
I can't say that I have noticed that 5.3-Codex is much better, but it's definitely on par with Opus 4.6, and its limits for $25/months is comparable to Max x5 at 1/4th of the cost (not to mention pay-per-token which we use at work). Claude Code is generally a much better experience though.
