Claude Opus 4.1 12 months ago

If I'm using cursor then sonnet is better, but in claude code Opus 4 is at least 3x better than Sonnet. As with most things these days, I think a lot of it comes down to prompting.

Hey HN! This post details the ridiculous journey of building a deterministic lockstep multiplayer game engine for the web, with all the painful decisions involved. Building the quickga.me web based editor was a monster with a ton of novel problems that needed to be solved and im trying to go through and document as many as possible so others can learn from them.

Let me know if there's any more detail you would like me to provide!

I always thought Microsoft would be a natural buyer given the tech stack and Microsoft's support for developers.

Unrelated story, I have a day one Stack Overflow account. I don't remember how I found it but I'm sure it was posted on digg or slashdot or something at the time. I had a lot of posts in the first few years about some generally broad concepts, and completely inactive since.

In spite of this, I am in the top 7% of accounts on the site, which is a nice reminder on the power of compound interest!

This is easily one of my favorite monthly services I subscribe to. I will say that a good reason why I believe it has been so successful, 1 best its a good idea, but 2 because your brother has responded to all of my questions and issues immediately and gracefully. That is the sign of a business that cares.

There are a handful of services out there that do this, I know because I've needed it on multiple occasions. It's nice that Amazon is providing it in house now, but it just reminds of me the last time I went to re:invent and walked through the vendor area and thought about how many of these companies are four dev cycles away from Amazon producing a baked in competitor.

Hard to make a B To B Amazon tool these days.

I imagine most code bases will contain a very small number (probably zero) type definitions with a spread tuple type. There are only so many ways to solve being type safe in a language that is so permissive, and sometimes it causes the result to look ugly. Ideally 95% of end users will never need to type this, only rely on it.

With the new twitter limits you can put 16x16 characters with 24 characters to spare. If you use the braille character set, this puts you at 32x64 available pixels. Realizing this, I figured the best use of my saturday was to make tetris. If anyone has any questions, let me know!

I would guess it's related to the prevalence of javascript combined with the low barrier to entry to build javascript app and the relatively low startup time of a nodejs app.
