The first was about setting up a GitHub action to build a Hugo website. I provided it with the config code, and asked it about setting the directory to build from. It messed this up big time and decided that I should actually be checking out the git repo to that directory instead. I can see in the thinking section that it’s actually thought of the right solution, but just couldn’t execute on those thoughts. O1 pro mode got this on the first try.
Also tried a Java question about using SIMD to compare two CharSequence objects. This was a bit hit or miss. O1 didn’t do great either. R1 actually saw that it’s possible to convert a char array to a short vector, which was better than o1, but they both failed to understand that I don’t have a char array.
Also tried a maven build problem I had the other day. O1 managed to figure that one out, and R1 also managed on the first go but was better at explaining what I should do to fix the issue.
