My first impression is not great. Several clicks in the docs - no screenshots to see how it looks like. The very first thing advertised on their GitHub - some "#1 coding agent". And again - no screenshots. Some flashing unpleasant video. "Written in Rust", which is becoming a meme, like if a user should care.

Maybe it's a good file manager but, imo, authors completely failed to advertise it right.

As the sibling comment says, it's an effect of trimming which you get even without AOT.

What's fussy about AOT and reflection?

No, I'm not asking if "dot operator can throw a NRE" is a mistake; I'm asking if the dot operator, the ability to access members at all, is a mistake.

Many tools can be misused. Object.Member can throw a NRE, is it a big mistake to have the dot operator?

Can LLMs be AGI at all?

75-80% [1], 90%, 99% [2]. In other words, no one has any idea.

I doubt it's anywhere that high because even if you don't write anything fancy and simply capitalize the first word like you'd normally do at the beginning of a sentence, the regex won't flag it.

Anyway, I don't really care, might just as well be 99.99%. This is not a hill I'm going to die on :P

This is assuming the regex is doing a good job. It is not. Also you can embed a very tiny model if you really want to flag as many negatives as possible (I don't know anthropic's goal with this) - it would be quick and free.

  the poor guy

Do you mean the LLM?

Then they made it wrong. For example, "What the actual fuck?" is not getting flagged, neither is "What the *fuck*".

It looks like it's just for logging, why does it need to block?

  This is how others feel as well and how software engineering will feel for new generations

How can you make such universal statements? This is not true at all. There are plenty of people who find vibe coding mentally exhausting (not everyone wants to be a manager) and who think LLMs suck that joy that was left in programming.

They've been very proud of it.

Whatever? I too prefer two windows side by side and I don't see this feature useful, but if others do, that's great.

I didn't vote but I'll bite the bullet.

1. Do not relay LLM output. If someone wanted, they would use it, ChatGPT is free. Post your own, human, meaty thoughts.

2. The blog post explains all these technologies, one just need to read it further than the title. It might be a big ask here on HN, I know, but still.

Reproducing is absolutely not a copyright violation. Otherwise emulators would have no legal option to exist.

I've been using 5.3-Codex. I cannot proof because it's subjective, but I have better results (you could say more reasonable) with it than 4.6 Opus.

GPT-5.4 one-shot a cross-language issue (a C++ repo + some amount of Lua), Opus kept hallutinating. This was debugging, not codegen.

I wasn't going to click the website - I agree with the first comment that first-party "researches" is just marketing which I have zero interest in.

Then your comment made me curious, and I clicked. What the actual fuck.
