OldGreenYodaGPT··on OpenAI withdraws three mathematical results
So four hundred and fifty comments, all these upvotes that they withdraw three, but no one gives a fuck that they solve seven hundred. All the problems with humanity summed up.
OldGreenYodaGPT··on GLM-5.3-Flash
Tested this last week and couldn't get it to finish any task that took more then an hour with /goal keep getting errors
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
will come back to bite them very soon
OldGreenYodaGPT··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
Isn’t that a joke? It already has supercharged science
OldGreenYodaGPT··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
Dude, cursor's not even worth a billion.
OldGreenYodaGPT··on The Closing of the Frontier
The problem is Anthropic doesn't have the compute to deploy this model to scale to everyone yet. Dario didn't believe that they needed as much compute, OpenAI is going to have much more compute unlocked this year and especially next year.
OldGreenYodaGPT··on The Codex App
I really like it!
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
lol does sound like and ad, but is true. Also forgot about hooks use hooks too! I just use voice to text then had claude reword it. Still my real world ideas
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
My company pays for the team Claude code plan which is like $200 a month for each dev. The workflows cost like 10 - 50 cents a PR
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
Most software engineers are seriously sleeping on how good LLM agents are right now, especially something like Claude Code.

Once you’ve got Claude Code set up, you can point it at your codebase, have it learn your conventions, pull in best practices, and refine everything until it’s basically operating like a super-powered teammate. The real unlock is building a solid set of reusable “skills” plus a few agents for the stuff you do all the time.

For example, we have a custom UI library, and Claude Code has a skill that explains exactly how to use it. Same for how we write Storybooks, how we structure APIs, and basically how we want everything done in our repo. So when it generates code, it already matches our patterns and standards out of the box.

We also had Claude Code create a bunch of ESLint automation, including custom ESLint rules and lint checks that catch and auto-handle a lot of stuff before it even hits review.

Then we take it further: we have a deep code review agent Claude Code runs after changes are made. And when a PR goes up, we have another Claude Code agent that does a full PR review, following a detailed markdown checklist we’ve written for it.

On top of that, we’ve got like five other Claude Code GitHub workflow agents that run on a schedule. One of them reads all commits from the last month and makes sure docs are still aligned. Another checks for gaps in end-to-end coverage. Stuff like that. A ton of maintenance and quality work is just… automated. It runs ridiculously smoothly.

We even use Claude Code for ticket triage. It reads the ticket, digs into the codebase, and leaves a comment with what it thinks should be done. So when an engineer picks it up, they’re basically starting halfway through already.

There is so much low-hanging fruit here that it honestly blows my mind people aren’t all over it. 2026 is going to be a wake-up call.

(used voice to text then had claude reword, I am lazy and not gonna hand write it all for yall sorry!)

Edit: made an example repo for ya

GPT 5.2 has been very good in codex can't wait to try this new modal. Will see how it compares to Opus 4.5
OldGreenYodaGPT··on The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI Partner on Sora
The collapse in production costs from AI video is going to change the volume and quality of what gets made. We’re headed for a world where studios and small teams alike can produce work that would have required a Game of Thrones budget not long ago. The pipeline for high end series and films is about to get a lot bigger, and the pace of experimentation is going to jump

OldGreenYodaGPT··on Using Generative AI in Content Production
Netflix is basically strangling the creative potential of GenAI before it can even breathe. Their new “guidelines” read like a corporate legal panic document, not a policy for innovation. Every use case needs escalation, approval, or a lawyer’s blessing. That’s not how creativity works.

The irony is rich they built their empire on disrupting old Hollywood gatekeeping, and now they’re recreating it in AI form. Instead of letting creators experiment freely with these tools, Netflix wants control over every brushstroke of ai creativity

Definitions: denom(b) = (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) / (b - 1)^2 num(b) = (b^b(b - 2) + 1) / (b - 1)^2

Exact relation: num(b) - (b - 2)denom(b) = b - 1

Therefore: num(b) / denom(b) = (b - 2) + (b - 1)^3 / (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) [exact]

Geometric expansion: Let a = b^2 - b + 1. 1 / (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) = (1 / b^b) * 1 / (1 - a / b^b) = (1 / b^b) * sum_{k>=0} (a / b^b)^k

So: num(b) / denom(b) = (b - 2) • (b - 1)^3 / b^b • (b - 1)^3 * a / b^{2b} • (b - 1)^3 * a^2 / b^{3b} • …

Practical approximation: num(b) / denom(b) ≈ (b - 2) + (b - 1)^3 / b^b

Exact error: Let T_exact = (b - 1)^3 / (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) Let T_approx = (b - 1)^3 / b^b

Absolute error: T_exact - T_approx = (b - 1)^3 * (b^2 - b + 1) / [ b^b * (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) ]

Relative error: (T_exact - T_approx) / T_exact = (b^2 - b + 1) / b^b

Sign: The approximation with denominator b^b underestimates the exact value.

Digit picture in base b: (b - 1)^3 has base-b digits (b - 3), 2, (b - 1). Dividing by b^b places those three digits starting b places after the radix point.

Examples: base 10: 8 + 9^3 / 10^10 = 8.0000000729 base 9: 7 + 8^3 / 9^9 = 7.000000628 in base 9 base 8: 6 + 7^3 / 8^8 = 6.00000527 in base 8

num(b) / denom(b) equals (b - 2) + (b - 1)^3 / (b^b - b^2 + b - 1) exactly. Replacing the denominator by b^b gives a simple approximation with relative error exactly (b^2 - b + 1) / b^b.

OldGreenYodaGPT··on Cursor 1.7

OldGreenYodaGPT··on Will AI Replace Human Thinking? The Case for Writing and Coding Manually
Tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI have boosted my productivity massively. They already handle about 90% of the coding work, and I just step in to finish the last 10%. Every month they get better, maybe in a year it’s 95%, in two years 97%, in three years 98%. We can all see where this is going.

OldGreenYodaGPT··on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
two years ago, I opened a PR asking for an LLM commit feature, and they flat-out said they weren’t doing it. Meanwhile, Cursor was eating their lunch and lapping them twice. I couldn’t believe how complacent and out-of-touch they were—it was pure laziness dressed up as “product focus.” And let’s not forget the ancient bugs rotting in their backlog that they refuse to fix. It’s like they actively don’t care about their users.

I believe it was an ancient AI trapped on a planet, sending signals into space in hopes someone would come and set it free.
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Claude Opus 4.1
Claude Code has honestly made me at least 10x more productive. I’ve burned through about 3 billion tokens and have been consistently merging 5+ PRs a day, tackling tons of tech debt, improving GitHub Actions, and making crazy progress on product work
OldGreenYodaGPT··on The great AI delusion is falling apart
Honestly, at this point, I'll just work 2 hours a day since I'm already producing 5-10x the output of my coworkers who aren't leveraging Claude Code at the medium-sized startup where I work. It really makes you wonder what's holding people back if they haven't at least doubled their productivity by now
OldGreenYodaGPT··on Generative AI Hype Peaking
Peaked? Nah, it's barely started. Wait till we get decent SWE agents reliably writing good code, probably later this year or next. Once AI moves beyond simple boilerplate, the productivity boost will be huge. Too soon to call hype when we've barely scratched the surface.

This is fine, many of my real tickets already explain the solution. A good ticket often offers a solution or where to start looking.

OldGreenYodaGPT··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
Blaming OpenAI for progress is like blaming a calendar for Christmas—it’s not the timing, it’s your unwillingness to adapt
OldGreenYodaGPT··on White House says no need to restrict 'open-source' AI at least for now
Regulating open-source AI will only help giants like Google and OpenAI, stifling innovation. It creates barriers only they can afford, limiting competition and diversity. Open-source fosters transparency and rapid progress. We do not need government regulations, or we'll end up like Europe with China leading.
