<p>Haha yeah. I once asked it to make a field in an API response nullable, and to gracefully handle cases where that might be an issue (it was really easy, I was just lazy and could have done it myself, but I thought it was the perfect task for my AI idiot intern to handle). Sure, it said. Then it was bored of the task and just deleted the field altogether.</p>

<p>I'm growing allergic to the hype train and the slop. I've watched real-life talks about people that sent some prompt to Claude Code and then proudly present something mediocre that they didn't make themselves to a whole audience as if they'd invented the warm water, and that just makes me weary.<p>But at the same time, it has transformed my work from writing everything bit of code myself, to me writing the cool and complex things while giving directions to a helper to sort out the boring grunt work, and it's amazingly capable at that. It _is_ a hugely powerful tool.<p>But haters only see red, and lovers see everything through pink glasses.</p>

<p>I doubt it. I noticed a few of these comments too on our PR's. We did ask copilot for a review ton GitHub (we just add copilot as a reviewer) but not through Raycast.</p>

<p>Maybe n=1, but I disagree? I notice that Sonnet 4.6 follows instructions much better than 4.5 and it generates code much closer to our already in-place production code.<p>It's just a point release and it isn't a significant upgrade in terms of features or capabilities, but it works... better for me.</p>

<p>Haha yeah I've had this happen to me too (inside copilot on GitHub). I ask it to make a field nullable, and give it some pointers on how to implement that change.<p>It just decided halfway that, nah, removing the field altogether means you don't have to fix the fallout from making that thing nullable.<p>Lmao.</p>

<p>In my limited experience, that's mostly since the 4.6 release. I noticed that with the same prompt, it answers much more briefly. A bit jarring indeed, but I prefer it. Less bs and filler, and less burning off electricity for nothing.</p>

<p>Even (uncommon) country TLD's too. I own a .vg domain which is a perfect match with the initials of my last name. My mails end up in spam quite often too, despite having set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC and all that stuff correctly. It's just not common so some security systems block it.</p>

<p>I agree. On top of that, in true Google style, basic things just don't work.<p>Any time I upload an attachment, it just fails with something vague like "couldn't process file". Whether that's a simple .MD or .txt with less than 100 lines or a PDF. I tried making a gem today. It just wouldn't let me save it, with some vague error too.<p>I also tried having it read and write stuff to "my stuff" and Google drive. But it would consistently write but not be able to read from it again. Or would read one file from Google drive and ignore everything else.<p>Their models are seriously impressive. But as usual Google sucks at making them work well in real products.</p>

<p>For me it honestly matches pretty well. I give it an instruction and go reply to an email, and when I'm back in my IDE I have work (that was done while I was doing something else) to review.<p>Going back from writing an email to working, versus going back from email to reviewing someone else's work feels harder.</p>

<p>Nah that's not how it works. Streaming video is usually cut up into small segments. By having a couple of variants per segment, they can serve you a unique and identifiable sequence of segments without having to decompress (and encrypt) them for each user.</p>

<p>That would be great, honestly. Imagine just being able to install Android apps like Netflix, Disney+, ... On your Steam Deck or Steam Machine and having it work out of the box with Widevine L1. Then you'd truly just only need one device attached to your TV for all your entertainment needs. And then a great and supported one at that.</p>
