aaahhh...

interesting... I have never seen such a benchmark before, where it forces the model to use a json schema for parsing a document. Sounds a bit counter intuitive to me, but I'm not that deep in the field. I usually just "ask" the model for information that is inside an image pdf. I haven't run any sophisticated benchmarks though...

I assume you mean for coding, for which I would agree. But for OCR Mistral is SOTA :)

so your complaint is about the blogger, not the Java language?

also, null markers are coming too: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8303099

Its just that they have to deliver things incrementally. This PR that introduces value classes/objects is already 200k lines long.

optional is not how algebraic data types are implemented in Java. Basically it's the combination of sealed types and records.

very cool word, but I think the etymology stated in Wikipedia is wrong.

the second part of the word just means purchase (in a weird ancient Greek tense). there's no relation to fish whatsoever.

(I'm Greek)

do we really AI to solve "lock screen"?

its very interesting to see that this only happens to American companies. What gives?

But it's not "Claude" at fault here, it's "Claude Code" the CLI tool.

Claude Code is actually far from the best harness for Claude, ironically...

JetBrains' AI Assistant with Claude Agent is a much better harness for Claude.

very interesting. how does the blocklist work? can one manage the lists? like StevenBlack or others.

interesting... for me JetBrains Mono won, which is the one I already use. But I discovered Atkinson Hyperlegible, which looks awesome for reading books. I guess I have a minor reading issue that I wasn't aware of!

Plasma has been a bit buggy since v6 :(

they tried to do something with remembering "how you left things" between sessions, and even when disabled things are still weird...

Also some power management related hooks are not working as well as before. Like if you put the computer to sleep at night, and wake it up in the morning, the automatic dark-to-light theme switch doesn't trigger. at least not always.

Still the best system to work with though!

my thoughts exactly... this "verdict" came with very suspicious timing.

I just used it here to approximately convey the scale.

the original function was full of mutable state (not required), full of special cases (not required), full of extra return statements (not required). Also had some private helper methods that were mocked in the tests (!!!).

All of this just for a "pure" function. Just immutable object in - immutable object out.

and yes, he was a junior.

not a new vulnerability class.

Extremely impressive feat nonetheless!

I'm very surprised by these comments...

I regularly review code that is way more complicated that it should.

The last few days I was going back and forth on reviews on a function that had originally cyclomatic complexity of 23. Eventually I got it down to 8, but I had to call him into a pair programming session and show him how the complexity could be reduced.

I'm on the phone now, but you should be able to already do it. install the Kagi translate browser extension, and use it to do this. I will try it myself in a few hours xD
