Last week I discovered apple's own photogrammetry library. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/creatin...

I used it to reconstruct a 3D mesh of a bouldering wall. It worked perfectly. No gaussian splatting involved. I think the boundary between virtual and real world does get thinner by the day

Will give it a try thanks for the heads up. Mind if I ask if you are referring to SendMessage? I was testing on Claude code 2.1.196. SendMessage was not available. Skimming through their change log didn’t seem to have anything related to SendMessage. There is “ Fixed SendMessage silently misrouting when a re-spawned agent reuses a previous agent’s name — the tool now detects the mismatch and asks the caller to retarget” from 2.1.199. Not sure if they are related

Regarding the lack of vision part, if you are using Claude or opencode, I've made a skill[1] that let's you talk with any models in Claude/opencode mid-session. You ask "Have claude opus to look at this PDF for a second opinion" during a session of claude with GLM5.2 or opencode with GLM5.2

It doesn't need to pass whole conversation history as context (unlike /model), you can ask follow up to that forked model (which sub agents in claude doesn't support AFAIK), and you can ask models from opencode while using claude.

I heard from someone before. charge more - the most vocal customers are the most demanding ones.

Also I wonder people tried charging for escalation (that's what enterprise plan is for I suppose)

Off-topic, I don't get why people still use a www subdomain, especially so in this case, www.map. Conway's Law in action?

Sometimes I find myself wanting the other way round, instead of letting LLM tell browser what to do, I want what I did manually in the browser be visible to LLM. I made a MCP to cover that use case

Traditional media is running their own LLM before LLM even existed. They absorbed their own bubble of information and hallucinate their narrative. I don’t mean it in a bad way. That’s how our tribal brain works, come up with stories with limited exposure to the world.

Must be the system prompts. Ask copilot to dump its system prompt, and compare the system prompt with claude. It is not accurate but handy. I bet they are quite different

While LLM models are bad at games, they are perfectly capable of writing a RL agent to train on the game itself.

Thinking human is rational is a highly irrational belief.

"Claude Sonnet 5 is available everywhere today at an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through August 31, 2026. It then moves to standard pricing at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens.2"

"Sonnet 5 is an upgrade to Sonnet 4.6, but it uses an updated tokenizer that changes how the model processes text to improve performance (this is similar to the tokenizer change we introduced with Claude Opus 4.7). The tradeoff is that the same input can map to more tokens: roughly 1.0–1.35× depending on the content type. The introductory pricing is set so that the transition to Sonnet 5 is roughly cost-neutral."

If we trust them, then it is roughly the same as sonnet 4.6

I haven't. Thanks for the heads up will give it a try! I use opus to comment on code design quite often though. It became a pattern that I made a skill for me to ask for second opinions https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48733092 Would love to hear your feedback if you don't mind!

I actually use sonnet 4.6 for my day to day coding too. It consumes much less token and good enough. Opus is just too token consuming for it to be useful to me.

Thank you for the kind words! It is amusing that the first few second opinions tend to be all over the places, after back and worth with a few models, the area of contentions seem to settle. Having said that, I've also experienced none of the second opinions were addressing the actual issue.

I made a virtual bookshelf the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48687201 Maybe I can plug some of the books into the virtual shelf

I like to think of testing as making sure things not wrong, but not making it right.

Working, useful, delightful, in that order. Testing can make things more likely to work, that's it.

I use design. It's nice enough for me.
