The first night it was released, it one-shotted merging two Python files together (one was an incomplete mess of speech to text, the other was an also-incomplete Claude api demo with a fake loop with forced conversation paths). It rewrote the fake loop and turned it into a voice interface that worked on the first try(then I asked it to add text to speech and it did). The second night it improves the code by adding threads (which I do know about but wouldn't have thought to use it there) and it worked better. Then Linux decided not to work properly (pulseaudio and ALSA issues), I asked it to help me migrate to pipewire and it gave me step by step directions, when I had issues all I had to do was post the error and it fixed it enough that it's all working again. It's been a pretty amazing week from my perspective. I finally had to take a break earlier this week but I still use Claude 3.5 for gardening (taking pictures and asking for help) and general advice.

Would you please describe your setup for coding? I'm interested in trying this out, but I need an ELI5. Thanks.

PS Anybody is welcome to jump in with a description of their setup.

There's not really anything to it. As I mostly use console.athropic.com workbench(the API pay-as-you-go), I haven't played around much with the Artifacts--I am probably getting a Claude Pro subscription later today. But yeah I just copy/pasted my 2 code files in the window, told it I wanted a conversational voice interface model, and in less time than it took to describe it, it wrote it and even saved a bunch of output tokens by saying where to copy large parts of the first file's boilerplate code. That had been a project I started around Easter and had kept putting off because it felt too hard for my somewhat limited time. But there's no moat or special setup to this stuff; anybody who can communicate in a text box can productively use this tool.

I currently tested the cursor IDE [1]. It’s vscode with nice ai integrations made with great ux in mind. They integrate with ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet/ Opus. For my experience (rust/typescript) the sonnet 3.5 model is giving me better results.

You can pass the current file, or multiple files or your whole project as context to the models.

It s prob not gonna work well: he fixes demo of the api of Claude with Claude. You didnt think of asking the AI, so you need more work on your own inference abilities first

I just copy and paste snippets and ask gpt to fix it or translate it

Sourcegraph Cody uses Claude

Gardening? The vision stuff for plants has always been terrible guesswork. Is it actually good/useful now?

It's a start. We just had a sudden storm that severely damaged some tomato plant stalks, and it suggested splinting them, or if it is still having trouble in a couple of days to cut off the top and plant in another pot, which is advice I've received from others too. The first picture I sent was some early blight on the leaves, it didn't get it on the first try (suggested the stem had edema, which I suppose is possible), but when I mentioned I thought it had a fungal issue it correctly noted the brown leaves and suggested a copper fungicide, among other correct remedies. It also correctly discriminated between two types of cucumber (well one was Armenian melon) held by my friend who had just picked them from her garden. Claude said that because there were hands present that it suggested that the vegetables were home-grown and/or freshly picked, and before that noted that they seemed to be good quality, which was correct. I went into this particular aspect of using Claude thinking it would be useless, but that's not what I have found with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I'll note the fungal blight was with Claude 3 Opus, as well. Hope that helps.
