Ask HN: Does anybody still FEEL improvements between latest LLMs for coding?

Title basically, for me it feels like latest generations of LLMs are quite equal in usefulness for coding, does anybody have anecdotes of the opposite case?

Have you benchmarked this against autoscheduling like with TVMs Ansor?

Cool site, I think the fact that bots WILL try to get access to your server as soon as it's publicly available should be mentioned more in basic tutorials etc... I remember panicing when I had set up my first webserver as a teenager and was checking the nginx logs out of curiosity, I thought this was a real threat to the security of the server and almost shut it down lol.

Google Maps is definitely one of the technically coolest big tech products imo. It's fascinating what kind of non-obvious insights you can get from the combined user data (E.g. Crowdedness of public places, insights like in the article etc.)
