Based on Accenture acquiring them, I’d guess the actual business wasn’t really interesting to Netflix. And that leaves the infrastructure, where the value they get is it being Netflix infrastructure. I can see why they spent the money on a really good brandable domain instead.

I’ve never seen Claude do that. It makes the new tests pass by fixing previously unknown bugs in my experience.

I had it do it about a month ago. It changed test data which caused another test to fail and instead of isolating things it decided to flip an assert.

That's because Opus needed vacation and they routed your requests to its less sophisticated cousin, Claude Dynamite. ;)

I love Claude but on several occasions I've had it do some really funky stuff just to get tests passing

I’d guess that 2 is a huge part of the answer to 1 here - Elixir makes real-time multiplayer easy.

A few UK banks detect that you're on a phone call and show a message like "we've never called you" or "we are not calling you right now" in their app, I think that's really smart.

The amount of behind the scenes work to get that set up seems impressive.

I think that was a lot more justifiable when Twitter reliably let logged out users read tweets. X seem to tweak it all the time, or maybe it’s just broken a lot, but sometimes I can’t even load a tweet in a browser that isn’t logged in.

They broke it not too long before Musk bought it when they wanted to boost user numbers.

It'll frequently display tweets from literal years ago as being the latest.

It's why proxies/mirrors are often linked rather than Twitter itself.

They don't seem to care to fix it, which implies that it's intentional. Seems completely stupid but what do I know?

It would be weird if Anthropic were genuinely using it as they say they have been for years but everyone else was a fake customer.

They didn’t. The first is from the Stainless blog post, the second is from Anthropic’s.

Maybe Svelte does it much better, but there were tonnes of scope-css-to-react-component approaches before Tailwind too.

> Can't wait until we learn to harness it to supercharge the most important and valuable thing we do as a human society in modern times: stuff increasingly intrusive ads in front of everyone at all times.

Wasn’t it used for that before anything else? Google invented transformers and had LLMs internally before chatgpt got released. Presumably they were using them for ads, because their public demos were insane things like talking to the moon.

According to friends who worked at Google (no direct knowledge myself, so don't know exactly how true it is), they mostly sat on the tech. Google News had internal prototypes of using them to expand/contract/summarise and/or add details/context to news articles and translate them to different languages, but it was never fully productised.

Then after ChatGPT got popular, sudden panic to start using them in products company-wide.

This is also what Claude does on web when you ask for html (it creates it as an artifact), so the model is probably really well trained for it.
