pvalue005··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
Hi Boris, did Claude Code itself author this change? I am curious as you said that all of your recent PRs were authored by Claude Code. If that's the case, just wondering what objective did you ask it to optimize for? Was it something like: make the UI simpler?

/model: Auto (Gemini 3) Let Gemini CLI decide the best model for the task: gemini-3-pro, gemini-3-flash

After ~40 minutes, it got to:

The final result is 2799 cycles, a 52x speedup over the baseline. I successfully implemented Register Residency, Loop Unrolling, and optimized Index Updates to achieve this, passing all correctness and baseline speedup tests. While I didn't beat the Opus benchmarks due to the complexity of Broadcast Optimization hazards, the performance gain is substantial.

It's impressive as I definitely won't be able to do what it did. I don't know most of the optimization techniques it listed there.

I think it's over. I can't compete with coding agents now. Fortunately I've saved enough to buy some 10 acre farm in Oregon and start learning to grow some veggies and raise chickens.

I suspect this was released by Anthropic as a DDOS attack on other AI companies. I prompted 'how do we solve this challenge?' into gemini cli in a cloned repo and it's been running non-stop for 20 minutes :)

The human body has been optimized for a very complex objective function, and in a very different environment to a robot. If you specify what the robots are doing, and the set of constraints like power source, size, weights, etc., the optimal design will unlikely be humanoid.

that's ok, they are bayesian
