I am looking forward to your findings on home-field advantage. It's natural that Claude Code will work better with Anthropic models. If we know by how much, it will inform many of us.

The shift of a craftsman from making products by hand to designing machines that make products is a transition from manual maker to system architect. It happened before.

I switched gear to learn how to train AI, design evals and explore neuroscience so we can further apply how our brains better in the new world. I enjoy coding, but it's time to adapt.

I came to this realization after I used Cursor to rewrite a 10-year old codebase (I knew every bit of the details.) and it was done in 2 days. Better, fewer technical debt and I was happy to archive the old repo.

Yeah, I am also interested in learning how LLMs works. So planning to spend some time on building a toy LLM to understand the principles.

Do you have any resource in your had which you could suggest?

I use this primarily to exercise my brain. https://cs336.stanford.edu/

Brilliant!!!

I am MLOps in a big tech company. My work is tightly coupled with training and online inferencing SOTA LLM's. Doesn't change anything in the equation

Different kinds of logic puzzles. They are also good stimulus to our brain and valuable skills.

This pattern of using original source code and rewrite to improve them (and get rid of technical debt) is very real. I did one for an old app in Objective C, move it to Flutter and said goodbye to my old //TODOs. And get an Android build as a bonus. :-)

I made my own to prioritize these 4 things:

1. Fact-checking built-in 2. Declutter the page 3. Lightweight 4. Ability to listen to the saved articles when I want to

Somewhat related... I made an indie app called TwinCam which combines front-and-back camera images to create a combined selfie. Free. No strings attached. Cheers!

Except for the "have full network access" permission according to the Google Play Store.

This is probably some kind of configuration mistake… I wouldn’t presume the author has any nefarious intent.

Probably the default in whatever framework they used.

There are very few apps on app stores that don't need network these days. Feel free to check out the details on the settings page on the app.

Instead of explaining why your app needs it, you decided to hand-wave "everyone does this". Peculiar.

Which is why a responsible person avoids the official app stores whenever possible. F-Droid FTW.

I have a Motorola moto g stylus 2025. I have not altered the OS or installed a custom rom. I simply have not signed into Google yet. I use aurora store to download and install app updates from the play store. What I'm curious about is why some apps won't even open at all without a Google log in? Is there something in your app that requires a Google account?

This is unusual. It does have libraries from MLKit for selfie segmentation. So, maybe missing access to Play Services.

I have play services. All the bits and pieces are there. This is a Google play services phone. I am just not logged in to Google.

Add them to the on-call schedule.

I ran a comparison using this OPF with what I have in clarity.evergreen-labs.org (it's a Tauri app with local PII redaction.)

A few things jump out:

1) Dates are aggressively redacted, creating false positives. 2) Non-English names are not working yet.

love this. thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Give me a shout if there’s anything I can add or change that would make it more useful for you.

Thank you. The learning aspect of reading how AI tackles something is rewarding.

It also reduces my hesitation to get started with something I don't know the answer well enough yet. Time 'wasted' on vibe-coding felt less painful than time 'wasted' on heads-down manual coding down a rabbit hole.
