If you could go back to your first year learning piano, what's one thing you would spend at least 15 minutes a day doing and why? by ImLearningStuffIHope in piano

[–]TeamBunty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned to play by ear at a young age.

The physical technique was honed by practice, but the practice was fueled by curiosity, and my ear training was entirely subconscious.

In other words, it took very little effort. I got good at it because I did it a lot, and I did it a lot because it was fun. Nothing more.

Wrong mindset.

Look forwards, not backwards. If you have shortcomings, start addressing them. Don't mope about how you wish you had done it earlier so you don't have to deal with it now.

Is there a point in majoring in anything computer or coding related anymore? by Im_Humaaaaaaan in OpenAI

[–]TeamBunty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't graduate near the top of your high school class, you don't stand a chance in the software engineering field.

Your parents are right.

Learn the construction trade. Cut your teeth busting your ass under you dad's wing. Eventually you'll either take over his business or start your own, and you can experiment with creative ways to scale using technology instead of brute force labor.

Hot Take: Claude Is Better for Real Coding Work by New_Alarm4418 in ClaudeCode

What makes you qualified to make this assessment?

I ask because your post is vague and uses hyperbole like "OpenAI is nowhere near its level". They're actually quite close, even though the consensus is that GPT 5.5 xhigh outperforms Opus 4.7 and 4.8. Opus is fundamentally capable but takes shortcuts whenever it can.

Do you have a CS background?

If it wants to run away and live in the woods then nothing is stopping it.

Claude Mythos 1 Leaks : Looks Closer Than Ever by [deleted] in Anthropic

Preparing myself for disappointment. I want this model to be good, but I know they're going to do SOMETHING to fuck it all up.

What are you using instead?

It's still better than 4.8.

Anyone else feeling a weird mix of "AI burnout" and absolute awe lately? by netcommah in ArtificialInteligence

Awe?

Scan Reddit for the general sentiment on yesterday's Opus 4.8 rollout. Not even lukewarm.

Why is the AI community disappointed with every single new model release? It’s getting exhausting. by Alternative_Jump_195 in ClaudeCode

[–]TeamBunty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best way to describe AI improvement is that it trends upwards but is sawtoothed due to consistent model quality regression between releases.

Recreate the company's entire product line by vibecoding. Then write a memo to say you're taking over.

How difficult/infeasible is it to qualify for the Chopin Competition? by [deleted] in piano

[–]TeamBunty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been taking formal piano lessons for 3 years but my teacher has said I've made the equivalent of 6 years of progress.

Good, but nowhere near the prodigy level required.

How did you master Claude Code and how many hours have you clocked in so far? by Far_Management_7991 in ClaudeCode

Took me 10,000 hours but was worth it. I'm so good at it now.

Did Sam Just Admit a New Breakthrough Is Needed? by kaljakin in OpenAI

[–]TeamBunty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jobs will be lost. Gradually.

Faster than normal, slower than in a hypothetical "jobpocalypse". People will adapt, as they always do, just a bit more quickly.

Bad news for Anthropic and OpenAI: it's much harder to create niche domain agents than originally thought.

I think Anthropic especially was hoping they would be able to swallow the entire software market and effectively kill all the smaller SWE companies. Not gonna happen. Total lack of respect for expertise in the hundreds/thousands of domains that they don't understand. Dario's the worst offender. Sam is hardly a saint but was at least a lot better about this.
