We're a group of developers who worked together years ago. We meet a few times a year, but scheduling is always a hassle with endless back-and-forth trying to align everyone's calendars. Frustrated by this, I built Troviamo to solve it automatically. I know similar tools exist, but this one is modern and tailored to exactly what we needed.
Not sure what happened with Claude 3.7, but 3.5 is way better in all things day to day. 3.7 felt like a major step back especially when it comes to coding even though this was highlighted as one aspect they improved upon. 500k window will soon be released for Claude. Not sure much it will improve anything though.
With Claude 3.7 I keep having to remind it about things, and go back and correct it several times in a row, before cleaning the code up significantly.
For example, yesterday I wanted to make a 'simple' time format, tracking Earths orbits of the Sun, the Moons orbits of Earth and rotations of Earth from a specific given point in time (the most recent 2020 great conjunction) - without directly using any hard-coded constants other than the orbital mechanics and my atomic clock source. Where this would be in the format of `S4.7.... L52... R1293...` for sols, luns & rotations.
I keep having to remind to to go back to first principles, we want actual rotations, real day lengths etc. rather than hard-coded constants that approximate the mean over the year.
Is it just me who get the feeling that Claude 3.7 is worse than 3.5?
I really like 3.5 and can be productive with it, but with Claude 3.7 it can't fix even simple things.
Last night I sat for 30 minutes just to try to get the new model to remove a instructions section from a Next.js page. It was an isolated component on the page named InstructionsComponent. Failed non-stop, didn't matter what I did, it could not do it. 3.5 did it first try, I even mistyped instructions and the model fixed the correct thing anyway.
Yes it might be more humane and better conditions for inmates but the problem is that it's too far to the other side.
Instead of having the threat of jail time in a harsh environment, prisoners see it as a resort and a break from the criminal life they are living with full access to almost anything and they even have leave(!?) multiple times during their stay.
Inmates have access to Playstation, Xbox, Netflix etc and better food than the schools serve to our children.
Jail time is a joke as well, armed robbery 2 months, rape 3 months, assault 2-4 months, murder 4 years (with good behavior) and if they commit multiple crimes they get a discount(!?).
I would prefer the harsher variant because now we have an influx of criminals from other places in the world where they have real punishments and they probably just laugh when they get sentenced here.
Many people in the US actively want harmful punishment. They approach crime as "getting back" at the criminal, instead of thinking "how can we encourage this person to take healthy part in society, or keep them safely away from society otherwise"
Someone who cannot safely be in normal society still deserves basic dignity
This might be true, but here it has gone so far that the prisoners complain when they don't get enough candy when they watch "Let's dance".
A prisoner doing time for assault and kidnapping has the audacity to complain about things like this. It is a mockery to the victims that have had their lives ruined by this individual.
Punishment must have a deterring factor to it, imprisonment is just a joke in Sweden right now.
Completely agree. I spent a lot of time when learning design, "designing" writing code since I was a developer first. That was a lot of time wasted but it took effort and will to learn all the design tools and understand the process for sure, but it was definitely worth it.
