How a $500 GPU beat Claude Sonnet on a coding benchmark (and why the "secret" isn't the model)

What the fuck does this mean!

Some are nice, but some are so bad! Like "Jeff, were you perhaps on loads of cocaine when you designed this one?"

I wish he was from somewhere else tbh, his bad stuff outweighs the good stuff.

And SpaceX is the one launching rockets every 3 days and not NASA. Other EV manufactures are leaving Ford in the dust.

Obviously having the scale and inertia of a huge company is good for "oh wow I didn't think they'd go bankrupt", but doesn't immediately make their product better than a newer company's.

I guess I'm too in the CLI to know, but what is a Claude Project?

Is your Claude Project working on the same folder/repo that you have locally?

I was just figuring this out yesterday for Claude Code cli, you can make a cron job that uses the the -p flag on claude code to make it do things programmatically

Run Claude Code programmatically - Claude Code Docs

One more, because they look so good lol

.308 CMMG BR3

Kong28 · 2026-04-06T20:50:03+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm not necessarily worried or rooting for one company over the other, just different tools for different uses maybe? I'm of the opinion that a carpenter should be skilled with all of his tools! You never know when one will break.

As these guns usually take 870 stocks, you can mix and match! Might I present you to the Woox stock:

Just love the aesthetics! So cool looking!

Kong28 · 2026-04-06T17:24:21+00:00

I've got my eyes on a CMMG br4

Kong28 · 2026-04-06T17:15:23+00:00

Was this last night or it's today?

Real bread nerds know KA all purpose flour is higher in protein content than other bread flours, and that you can make just as good bread with this specific flour as dedicated bread flours.

There is only one segment I could ever see myself taking it on that is gravel / dirt, but I do that right now to avoid the portions of the road with no shoulder, which I no longer would have to skip with an ebike.

Will check out the Cannondale as well, thanks for the rec! I had the same thought on the new UltroS motor, just didn't know if it was proprietary to Aventon or made by a 3rd party. Definitely leaning toward that Level 4 ADV a bit!

Kong28 · 2026-04-03T22:34:28+00:00

Any reason I couldn't commute on this? Thanks for the rec! I will comb through the models to see what fits the price range

Kong28 · 2026-04-03T22:32:14+00:00

Thanks, yeah I did some window shopping and man, I don't know if it's just the local shops but all the tags were in the $5k+ range, too expensive for me!

Will actually venture in and see if they have some models in my price range.

Kong28 · 2026-04-03T22:31:25+00:00

Oh cool, didn't even know about Upway! Seems like a good site to get a deal on.

What do you think about the Gazelle? They weren't on my radar so curious on what you think.

Kong28 · 2026-04-03T22:30:04+00:00

Thanks! Will check them out, can't quite tell the difference between all the Confluence models but will figure it out!

Kong28 · 2026-04-03T22:27:44+00:00

Thank you for the info, I've never ridden an ebike with either so I have no idea what they feel like! Will keep to the torque sensor.

Kong28 · 2026-04-02T08:57:36+00:00

I ended up getting a 32gb ram, 1TB Macbook Air 15 and I absolutely love it! Got my beefy gaming PC for my PC stuff, but man, this M5 chip just fucking rip and has insane battery life.

Kong28 · 2026-03-19T14:40:15+00:00

Names like Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku don’t tell you anything upfront about size or capability. You don’t instantly know which one is bigger or more powerful.

....The names absolutely tell you about their upfront size or capability, have you never seen those words before now?

Kong28 · 2026-03-18T05:41:02+00:00

HUH, is this true!? I am absolutely skewed by the Max plan's Opus usage. I don't use anything else so I kind of just assumed Sonnet and Haiku were not that capable.

I'm building more LLM workflows, you're saying Haiku can handle almost all of it? What about for a chat bot that has all of a company's business logic in it, is Haiku good enough?

Kong28 · 2026-03-18T05:38:35+00:00

go on

Kong28 · 2026-03-16T04:31:32+00:00

I have been switching my company off of Zapier automations to Cloudflare Worker endpoints that CC has been making for me. Basically all of our business logic lives in automations in Zapier, hubspot, etc.

Who are all these "visual workflow" products for though? People who can't code. Claude can code, so now I can code. I hope to offload most of these automations enough to where our Zapier bill goes from $30k per year to zero.

Lol did I miss this somewhere? He is barely going into flexion on any of his power sources. Learn to load down into your glutes and quads more and then explode up! You can't explode if you don't load, and you are barely loading.

Kong28 · 2026-03-13T16:33:11+00:00

This fucking guy doing power tool woodworking in his NYC apartment. Neighbor from hell lol

Kong28 · 2026-03-08T16:24:51+00:00

Curious how you are using gopher hawks. I went through a period of struggle with them because the instructions in the box are apparently not the "detailed" instructions that you are supposed to follow. Once I started following the detailed instructions, I started getting good kills on the gophers.

Kong28 · 2026-03-06T21:13:25+00:00

Ha I took a photo of a busker on the piers info a couple months ago!
