GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding

news.ycombinator.com Eleanor Berger 2025-12-03 00:38:48

OpenAI released GPT-5 yesterday, promoting it as their best model yet for agentic coding. When it arrived in my GitHub Copilot this morning, I immediately decided to test it with a complex, long-running agentic coding task — and later gave the exact same task to Claude 4 Sonnet 4 for comparison. While this isn't a tightly controlled scientific comparison — more of a "vibe check" — both models impressed me with their results. It's worth noting that while Claude Sonnet has been established for co

The tradeoff between human and AI context

news.ycombinator.com Doug Turnbull 2025-12-11 23:37:40

AI coding is a skill. You have to decide how much context to put in your brain vs the AI. You can waste your time thinking about the wrong problem because you failed to delegate. Or you can give yourself a headache when the AI coder doesn’t get it. I think about it in terms of spectrum of human to AI context. At the highest levels, we, humans, own all the context. We operate here when our specific value-add matters. We also work here in the many cases AI coders aren’t that smart yet. At the low

Tesla Is the Least Trusted EV in the U.S., Survey Finds

Tesla’s reputation is in a crash it can’t control, much like the people who are behind the wheel when the car’s self-driving features fail to stop. In the latest Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report, Tesla saw its perception erode among consumers, leading to the company scoring the lowest trust score among all major EV makers. According to the survey, just 26% of participants have a somewhat or very positive view of Tesla—significantly outweighed by the 39% plurality who have a somewhat or very

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan
