@codewithimanshu This is not Anthropic, this is Google selling Vertex. You don’t need any of it, and locking in now is silly unless you’re determined to dumb things down to a Mickey Mouse level. The whole talk is incredibly shallow, and a total waste of 30 min.

@Ric_RTP “51x the price” says it all. You really only need frontier models in an orchestration layer anyway, which is why CC uses haiku behind the scenes. This whole mess was an unforced error, and the performance gap will continue to shrink.

@NainsiDwiv50980 I was using this daily 3 months ago until it spawned 600+ agents and Claude started doing things it was explicitly told not to do. The combination wrecked any work that wasn’t checked in across several projects. The GitHub ticket Anthropic closed still gets comments like “scary.”

@heynavtoor The one post on X that actually isn’t slop naturally gets so few upvotes.

@ChShersh To clarify, this is such a menial task that it’s just annoying. If can tell you that the algorithmic complexity is probably O(1); that’s it’s because you’re probably going to need lookups; and that’s you can do most of it by taking the remainder of 7—that’s plenty to demonstrate.

@TheGregYang Interviews aren’t supposed to be like exams. If people are “cheating,” you’re probably doing it wrong.

[Rod Boev @RodBoev]

@ChShersh Sorry but all I see is you arguing against the world. At some point you have to admit you’re wrong.

[Rod Boev @RodBoev]

@ChShersh Who seriously cares about any of this stuff? I’ve been coding for over 20 years, and have never had to do anything like this.

@githubstatus GitHub is very much down right now. Everything including the homepage, contact support page, etc.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.
