I use it purely as a search engine. It is pretty good at dehtml/dejs/decss or a distraction free access to articles / docs. I had dabbled with claude for purely writing testcases which I'm very lazy at.
But man, people really oversell LLM's coding capabilities. It is good at pattern matching and replicating elsewhere. That's about it.
I had asked a simple question to opus 4.5.
> Python redis asyncio sample code.
The 3 attempts at generation all failed at the import statement. I verified if such an import structure ever existed in older versions. Never.
But it looked convincing enough though!?
Is it because there is not much asyncio code (2014) is available for claude to train on?
But there seems to be a bug maybe? Just for fun, I had asked it to play the Real Slim Shady lyrics. It always seems to add 1 extra "please stand-up" in the chorus. Anyone see that?
+1. I was a strong proponent of RCS earlier. Don't care about Green/Blue bubble nonsense. But Google (an Ad company) started abusing RCS to send garbage ads my way. And there is no way to block that as well except for disabling RCS. I feel this is a loophole Google can abuse where local regulations ban vendors for sending promotional messages.
Whatever it is, Google of all org should not be at the Helm of this.
And the amount of moral policing they did to apple. Disgusting assholes. I hate Apple for a lot of reasons. iMessage is definitely not one of them.
I have no idea what issues folks are talking about. I use vanilla gnome for my work and personal use case (given with well supported GPUs, read: no Nvidia). All the features work. Zoom/screen share/obs etc.,
Multi touch gestures work on laptops as smoothly as they were on a mac. HDR has started working recently even in my browser. VRR has been working for almost a couple of years.
It doesn't break, most mem leaks that gnome was known for all gone. Almost all the cli X specific tools I use (mostly clipboard stuff) are all available. Initially when I switched I did see like a 10~15% increase in battery usage albeit being smooth.
