surprised to see gemini > sonnet 4.6 > opus 4.6

why do you think sonnet is better than opus on this?

have tried it, i think's focusing on spec-driven development?

It is is crazy how things have changed in an year and a half.

How are you handling verifications?

We unified our AI stack into one Postgres instance - and cut our infra and backend code by 90%!

Most teams use 3+ databases already: - A relational / document store like mongo or postgres, - A vector DB like Chroma or Pinecone for embeddings, - Redis for caching, and - Usually an analytics warehouse, like Athena

You of course have to write and maintain all the glue code & data transformations for each of them. But more importantly, you have to take care of the schema evolution which can be a nightmare when dealing with multiple databases!

Instead we run everything on TigerData (creators of TimescaleDB)’s PostgreSQL platform (TimescaleDB + pgVector + pgAI).

How is this in Ask HN?

PH has been completely gamed.

You launch there and your LinkedIn inbox will be flooded with people offering to get you 500 upvotes and 50 comments in $300.

It’s either that or the people who are about to launch in the coming week engaging with your launch so you do the same for them.

Planning to add links as input anytime soon?

I would love to add a link to my product docs, upload some images and have it generate an onboarding video of the platform.

fair. i should have framed the question better.

this is something i have spent hours thinking about.

this could ensure people don't have to watch 2000 ads a day, rather just maybe 2 ads of things they actually need and are likely to be more impactful.

could be a win-win.

considered creating a ui for this? probably easy to do with lovable etc?

I think people in the content business have probably seen the most significant boost from AI, so far.

Most engineers on my team are feeling let down with the AI hype. Vibe coding makes some mistakes and does a good job of hiding the things it gets wrong.

They spend more time spotting and fixing bugs and basically have been feeling frustrated.

It's also annoying for the team in general. Projects that would otherwise take a couple of days have sometimes taken over 2 weeks, and it is hard to predict how long something will take. That adds a lot of pressure for everyone.

i tried this and a variation of this a bunch of times. got the right answer every time.

i asked about 10 of my friends and they all got the right answers as well.

is it just people trying to get views on X or is it actually happening?

this was one of my favorite takes from early testers.

he maintained that Opus 4.1 was better for coding but felt like a paradigm shift for an average user.

i'm very curious about this also.

117B people have lived on the planet!?!?!?!

This is a really cool game. I was so off!

I don't get the hype.

true, people are being polite mostly though.

I think people don't realize how much models have to extrapolate still, which causes hallucinations. We are still not great at giving all the context in our brain to LLMs.

There's still a lot of tooling to be built before it can start completely replacing anyone.

I downgraded to Team subscription, I think this is gonna make me upgrade to Pro again.

This was very surprising for me given all the noise.

Which plan are you on?

My entire team loves Claude Code. My cofounder actually shipped a small tool entirely on it.

this post was such a brilliant read. to read about how they still have a YC-style startup culture, are meritocratic, and people get to work on things they find interesting.

as an early stage founder, i worry about the following a lot.

- changing directions fast when i lose conviction - things breaking in production - and about speed, or the lack of it

I learned to actually not worry about the first two.

But if OpenAI shipped Codex in 7 weeks, small startups have lost the speed advantage they had. Big reminder to figure out better ways to solve for speed.

was it?

it was however interesting to know that it isn't just Meta poaching OpenAI, but the reverse also happened.

I think senior folks at OpenAI realized this is not sustainable and hence took the "wellness week".

> Has anyone here read the 'The Oxford India Ghalib'?

I think it has an original and translated version side to side.

if anyone has regularly reads nplusone mag, i would love to hear what they think about it?

This somehow reminds me of Jack Dorsey and Howard Schulz.

I actually hadn’t read most of the books on the list. So very off-beat list for sure.
