I took Opus 4.5 Max Mode for the ultimate test.
I asked it to search my code base for bugs
I took a lot of pride in this code, all hand rolled, by the sweat of my brow. It was mine and it was good.
Claude found 15 bugs
I was devastated
So I went to the first bug, and asked for a unit test. It produced a unit test in mere moments.
I ran the tests and saw it. A broken test. Property test of undefined. Rookie error
Ashamed, but determined I set forth to fix these bugs as penance. So I cracked open nvim getting ready to edit this typescript script
But... The code seemed correct. Weird.
So I checked the test, Claude faked bad data. The setup could never happen
Wtf
It's a lie, the whole thing.
I checked every bug Claude found. Every line item was not a bug. Everyone of them just some condition that cannot exist due to asserts or previous if statements
What an amazing $3s and 20 minutes spent
Normally when I waste time at least I learn something
@Abhinov_v I like Vivo's overall HDR but don't like how it handled the wires. The highlight control is too aggressive there. Would have to go with the iPhone here.
Last week, we got the news that India has overtaken Japan and is now the fourth largest economy in the world, in terms of GDP.
The news inevitably received mixed reactions.
Some people were happy. Some didn't care.
Then came this army of people, who came out with pointed questions like
What about our poor?
What about the people who are poorer than poor?
What about our Per Capita income?
What about the Gini Co-efficient and the Poverty trap?
What's the point of us being the 4th largest economy when 90% of our population has sub-Saharan Africa levels of income?
Why are Salman Khan and Suriya movies so atrociously bad?
How did Sandeep Vanga and Siruthai Siva become movie directors?
Now all these are valid questions. I am not denying them.
But how does it take away from the fact that we are the 4th largest economy in the world today?
I mean, considering where we were in 1990, becoming a $ 4 trillion GDP economy was not a dream. It was a delusion.
We were in a country where
A simple act of getting a telephone took three years.
Importing a computer took 5.
Buying a scooter, took 15.
More than half of our population had no water connection and electricity, 95% of our country couldn't afford a packet of milk and the average person was unemployed and died before they reached retirement age.
We had zero manufacturing and were absolute duds in technology.
Today, we are no longer all of that.
We are self-sufficient in food and clothing. 99% of India has electricity and running tap water.
We are now a genuine manufacturing country, have the world's largest IT services industry and our highway and railway network has increased faster than the delusions of our neighbouring country.
We have permanently moved from the so called "Hindu Rate of Growth" to an actual rate of growth and our GDP growth % is now higher than our TFR.
And we've built foundational blocks that will serve us amazingly well in the decades to come
Yes, we still have a lot of poverty, and our Per capita income could be better, but for a country that was on the verge of bankruptcy just 35 years ago, this is a tremendous achievement
To Paraphrase Calvin and Hobbes - Let’s not be so busy watching what’s ahead of us that we forget to enjoy how far we’ve come!!!
@__jayeshkumar@saaaanjjjuuu Good. It's way smoother than One UI 6.1 on S22U. It's also very feature rich (though not like One UI) with good AI features. There are a couple of bugs but they've fixed them in a newer hyperos version in other markets so it'll hopefully arrive soon for Indian units 😁
@ishanagarwal24 I've switched from an iPhone X to S22 Ultra after having been an iPhone user for almost a decade. Been using the S22U ever since it's launch and extremely satisfied with the experience!
After an age any event, any special day appears a bit cumbersome. Diwali, Birthdays, Any festival. Suddenly there is a pressure to perform, to dress up, to decorate, to put effort, to smile harder. You love being under the radar. To be not bothered. To be not judged. Then such days come, you perform, and when it’s done, you breathe a sigh of relief, to go back to your routine. After an age :)
