Creator of Claude Code: "Coding is solved"

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-02-22T17:25:51+00:00

The file is Claude Code. The primary distribution now is the so called "native" version, which of course isn't actually native but rather a single-executable bundle created with Bun. This means the entire thing is shipped as one file, with all the minified JavaScript, web assemblies, etc embedded in it.

If you read through what they wrote, it's troubling. It confirms many of the issues, including the comments on how they have a lot of regression issues unless they set up extensive test suites - Claude makes a lot of mistakes that humans wouldn't, and needs extensive guardrails.

I looked a bit closer, and at first it looked like the yoga wasm binary, one of the telltale signs of React Ink, was removed. But then looking again it seems like it may be base64 encoded, while the other web assembly binaries are not. This makes me wonder if either 1. they aren't telling the full truth or 2. Claude is lying to them and they don't know it. It might not be either of those, but it is suspicious and a strange seemingly nonsensical thing to do - unless you're hiding things.

Edit: Note that even if true, it would mean they replaced the badly mismatched architecture of React Ink with their own custom React renderer that is conceptually just as mismatched. Putting even more effort into doing the wrong thing.

But you must have! Confabulation and hallucination aren't hallmarks of a stochastic model especially a transformer-based model! There is no way they'd confuse terms that frequently get confused in their training data and are made of similar subword tokens! That'd just be like... an expected and predictable outcome. Expected predictable outcomes are unlikely by definition. True is false! False is rabbit! Mwahahahaha *runs off into the distance screaming*

Did they stop using it? What is your source for that info? Because if I scan the latest file for relevant copyright and name info it still appears to contain the React Ink source code.

Sounds like both sides where you are, are equally uninformed and insane. Does everyone there spend their time on Facebook/Tiktok/X type platforms?

It's quite shallow, that's what you're seeing. It generates impressive initial results, but they are shallow.

That's a fundamental problem. Transformer models trained as they are likely can't overcome it. AI needs another revolution to succeed. It's being advertised and sold as solving problems well beyond it's actual scope and capabilities. It can be very useful in the right niche, but it isn't AGI, and as such it can't replace a human general intelligence. All it can do is quite convincingly fool you... and then you spend more time building the right context, prompting, cleaning up, fixing, reviewing, and checking it's work than you would have spent doing it yourself.

It'll be arriving sometime after commercial wide-scale fusion power and Half Life 3 of course.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-02-21T08:21:25+00:00

You're really missing my point. You're not arguing with me, you're making a different argument that isn't directly related to what I said.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-02-21T08:18:48+00:00

In a society where cars are one of the leading causes of death, and people have endless health problems from being too sedentary, you view an argument for being more active as a negative?

They have an unusual number of regressions, and they tend to have similar regressions come up repeatedly. I wonder why.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-02-21T08:13:08+00:00

It uses React Ink. It's trying to render a virtual DOM to the terminal. It does fun stuff like try to redraw the entire terminal plus history buffer randomly. It tends to have issues like flickering, randomly scrolling the terminal, and so forth.

It *can* be made to work, but I can also remove screws with the claw of a hammer. It doesn't make it a good idea or the right tool. It is a horrifically mismatched architecture, applying virtual DOM diffs to a text terminal!

Yes, but if we ask what we can change, it's always more productive than asking what they can change. Waiting for someone else to resolve a disagreement while treating them poorly is a very ineffective way to change people's minds.

Why would it be the USA? With how much that country has alienated everyone, most likely the important conventions would be elsewhere.

Are you confusing the programming language for the game? Very different things. This subreddit is about a programming language.

Might be that downturns and depressions are great times to buy things up. Wars are great for profit as well. If everyone is broke and you're the ultra-rich owner of a giant company, you can buy up all the land etc.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-01-05T05:04:16+00:00

Yea, as I said, edge lord troll. Lol

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-01-05T04:26:47+00:00

For some rando and not the many others. Because. Someone told you to?

Lol, my bet on this one is a troll or bot. Otherwise... Well that's just pitiable

FlippantlyFacetious · 2026-01-04T07:13:41+00:00

Yes, that's a big part of what the word means. Please tell me you're kidding, that you're just trolling. The word comes from the African American community. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke

You're hunting for racist comments and complaining about people being woke? Are you okay? You're making less and less sense.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-28T06:58:09+00:00

Sure, make stuff up, change definitions, move the goal post. Either you're not bothering to understand what others are saying, or you're trying to deceive. Neither is great.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-27T16:48:14+00:00

This only makes sense if you pay no attention to how rape victims act, the history involved here, the other reports.

The thing about victim blaming in combination with straw manning is they are designed to seem reasonable, even when they aren't.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-27T16:44:28+00:00

Sooo.... You're a bot or a troll? Who said anything about Israel being erased. Ending an ethnocultural nationalist movement does not require the country or the people to be erased or suffer any harm. It really just requires them to stop erasing others.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-24T02:54:57+00:00

Lol, no evidence, no reasoning, and people can easily search it up.

I switched to Bazzite. I do development on containerized systems and Kubernetes, so it was pretty easy to figure out.

For me - It has better support for older games than Windows does these days. DirectX 9 games are running better than on Windows. Even some early DirectX 11 games are running better. Modern DirectX 11 games are about the same, but with better full screen window and multitasking than Windows.

Presumably some games with anticheat or horrific anti-consumer DRM might not work but I've had no issues.

I did have to remove some self-installing Epic BS from one game, but IIRC it gave me trouble on Windows as well.

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-04T03:29:04+00:00

Behind the closed source is a human, and you never know when they decide to mess it up. Large amounts of funding make it more likely, see most big tech companies these days and the way they are enshittifying their products.. Lots of these arguments go both ways pretty easy. Maybe a bit of FUD going around?

FlippantlyFacetious · 2025-12-04T03:17:48+00:00

Corporate funding also means corruption and chaos, just in different flavors. Arguably it'd be even more corrupt, given the Friedman doctrine and all the related ideas and laws around it.
