I don't feel the S-curve at all yet. Still an exponential for me

The benchmarks are very impressive. Codex and Opus 4.5 are really good coders already and they keep getting better.

No wall yet and I think we might have crossed the threshold of models being as good or better than most engineers already.

GDPval will be an interesting benchmark and I'll happily use the new model to test spreadsheet (and other office work) capabilities. If they can going like this just a little bit further, much of the office workers will stop being useful.... I don't know yet how to feel about this.

Great for humanity probably but but for the individuals?

I have canceled my Claude Max subscription because Sonnet 4.5 is just too unreliable. For the rest of the month I'm using Opus 4.1 which is much better but seems to have much lower usage limits than before Sonnet 4.5 was released. When I hit 4.1 Opus limits I'm using Codex. I will probably go through with the Codex pro subscription.

I think Opus 4.1 is still much better than Sonnet 4.5

I'm only hosting a newly started side project there, but it does have paying users so I'm really unhappy at the moment.

This is a worst case scenario. Even worse is the no-communication and not turning off the restore function. This is having serious economic impact

Tell HN: Supabase database restore from backup corrupting projects

JanSt — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 18:44:09 +0000

There are multiple reports that restoring a database from Supabase backups currently corrupts the entire project.

The Supabase dashboard shows the following error message:

“Something went wrong while restoring your project. Your project’s data is intact, but your project is inaccessible due to a restoration failure.”

However, it appears that at least some of the backups, if not all, are either corrupt or unavailable.

As a result, data is lost and users are unable to access their projects. There are numerous reports on the Supabase Discord server, including from paying (non-free) users, stating that they haven’t received a response for several days (up to 8, from what I’ve seen).

AFAIK, this issue is still ongoing: restoring a database can still corrupt your project, and I haven’t found any official communication from the Supabase team addressing the problem.

In my view, this represents a worst-case scenario for managed cloud services. Supabase should immediately disable the restore function and start communicating transparently about what happened to users’ data.

JanSt — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 22:33:24 +0000

My current top 3 apple software flaws:

1) battery warning above tabs in browser with no x to close it

2) WebKit bugs that make inputs and visual diverge so you have to click under the input to hit it

3) flickering email app when it’s opened

They also managed to introduce regressions into WebKit so that the visual and touch positions of fixed input elements diverge. Really makes you question what’s going on at Apple.

Pushing out an exact way to extract that data without giving the creator time to fix it may even be worse than using such code in production. The data may than be in the hands of malicious people who wouldn’t have found it otherwise

Doesn’t supabase provide security warnings on its dashboard?

Probably true. The EU needs to enact daily fines for non-compliance, going back to the day the legislation came into power.

Only in the US feels like shooting themselves in the foot again. The EU is already cracking down on them for their malicious compliance with the DMA, and it’s only a matter of time before similar pressure builds

China can be pretty sure that the US will not act if they attack Taiwan. Trump and Vance are weak. All talk, no walk.

And an additional (!) 6-7.5 cent per KWh is payed by the "Klima und Transformationsfonds" to the producers of renewable energy.

Renewables are very cheap if you only consider LCOE and not the systemic costs - which is what people like Zoadian love to do. Just ignore all those grid and backup costs. The grid fees alone have been increased substantially and Germany pays out an additional 7 cent per KWh through a fund that is not shown in the electricity bills anymore.
