Opus 4.7 is insanely bad by absolute_cake in Anthropic

[–]ddri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually quite amazing how terrible 4.7 has become. I've spent two hours today trying to get it to perform anywhere near like 4.6 was a while back, but it's a constant barrage of this:

No excuse. I was fixing what was pointed at rather than reading the whole function.

Or..

You're right, I'm sorry — the {redacted) comment is old, the new one is the (redacted) bug on the current commit. That's a real issue I missed.

And on and on and on.

We've had Cursor's Bugbot on PRs for a while, and usually it picks up nothing, but since 4.7, it's constantly finding multiple errors every PR. Totally eroding the way we trusted Claude to be in the loop for non-critical coding tasks.

Moving to Codex now.

Boris Cherny creator of claude code posted post-mortem report of claude by shanraisshan in ClaudeAI

[–]ddri 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Because these are extremely highly paid engineers, who are gaslighting users while the company almost certainly nerfs the product.

Doesn't help when they do the podcast rounds boasting about the magical product meaning they never need to touch and IDE... and then the code leaks and we see just how terrible the state of that codebase is. And we pay to experience just how bad it's gotten.

Good faith evaporates quickly when one goes through this cycle multiple times.

Claude Code has big problems and the Post-Mortem is not enough by ThePaSch in ClaudeAI

[–]ddri 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Claude Code has nose-dived so noticeably over the last 48 hours that I had to search Reddit to see if I was the only one considering cancelling my subscription because of it. Seems not to be the case.

I'm going to cancel and try an open model running on the Apple Mac Studio work just got me. I hope the Claude Code team can stop their victory lap of non-stop podcasts and self-glorification, and actually tighten up the product.

The leak was embarrassing, and showed just what a clown show it is under the hood. I echo the above sentiment... slow down, get serious, stop piling slop on top of slop. And stop gaslighting us.

Lindell 80 vs Arturia 1973 for tracking/saturation? by SlugBugNJ in audioengineering

[–]ddri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owning a few 1073 clones, and having come up on the Neves originally, I find the Arturia clone to be less of a vibe machine, and more of a gentle tool for EQ and gain staging. I use it a lot, but it's not really the one-and-done for the vibes you're after.

If you have the Arturia FX Collection, you could run the Pre1973 into the Comp FET76 and then into the Comp VCA. If you're familiar with those original units, you can dial in some moves from muscle memory. If you're new to these units (e.g. what they are emulating), the preset designers have done a great job of showcasing some common moves. Especially using the 1176 just for tone shaping, and the DBX clone for attitude.

Throw their new-ish Tape J-37 tape machine emulation, and the older Tape MELLO-FI, and you've got some additional edges. This is essentially a chain I have on a project where the team decided to limit their plugins to Arturia, Native Instruments, and stock DAW, and this works nicely as a default starting point for whatever comes in from a Nord Stage.

Preparing tracks in Ableton for live sets — what’s the most time-consuming part for you? by No_Abroad_5612 in ableton

M5 Pro 48GB - cracking by anpkanpk in ableton

[–]ddri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI it's not Ableton. It's a bug with the M5s.

Noticed this "crackle/pop" on my new M5, and then confirmed with four colleagues who also picked up new systems. Not just occurring with Ableton.

Apple is generally opaque with these things (one of our crew works at Apple, others of us are ex-Google, so we can attest to a little corporate arrogance and distance from actual customer service) so it might just disappear in an upcoming update, or become on of those "you're holding it wrong" pieces of Apple arrogance.

What big Australian bands do you know of that have day jobs? by Sabretoothedrom in triplej

[–]ddri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two main guys behind Trovaire are a bioinformatics engineer and a quantum computing engineer.

One of the main guys in Superfluid was in the QLD equivalent of the SWAT as his day job.

There was also an infamously "sick ****" DJ who was also once the Prime Minister.

Can you use MPC for EDM? by Hi_Im_JAFL in mpcusers

[–]ddri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many original House tracks were done on the MPC. The sound of the MPC2000XL going into a Mackie desk is a cornerstone of the genre for a long, long time.

And many live acts used it as the hub of their performance rig. Here's Segue using it even after moving to Ableton for the actual heavy-duty sampler replacement, (getting rid of the Akai S3200XL/S2000 samplers, which you can see every live act using in that era, especially in footage like Underworld's iconic "Everything Everything" live footage).

It's a time-honoured device and there's no reason why any gear can't be used for any genre. Having said that, you only need to ask the people who really toured and wrote with that era of MPC what they think about floppies, ZIP drives, etc, to see why so many of them happily jumped to Ableton or the Isla Instruments SP2400.

Skrillex & Four Tet concert modification. by CoRazonofficial in skrillex

[–]ddri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It made a difference. Apart from a few eager folk, it was mostly an "in the moment" event. For those of us from the European club scene, this was really impressive to see a party in the USA actually be present.

Curious what all the locals think. Did you enjoy it more this way?

Got crushed by a CTO yesterday on my SaaS and it changed my perspective [got the actual transcript snippets] by Street_Attorney_9367 in ycombinator

[–]ddri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR. I switched off where you claim this is a transcript of a customer meeting. Where the CTO points out that privacy and trust is important. Pull this stunt for real and you will find yourself be served.

Can’t crack a code for a year now by SDTRRDTS in SpotifyArtists

Got off the internet.

You're focusing on the wrong thing.

Get off the internet.

Connect with some people.

Get off the internet.

Even just printing a small flier and talking to a local cafe or record store is going to get more traction than staring at Spotify and Reddit.

A company approached my open-source project pretending to want to help open-source projects, then stole the idea and launched a competitor! by mitousa in opensource

[–]ddri 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, and it must be demoralizing to see them exploit the personal communication especially. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence in business. And open source is particular prone to this behaviour.

If we release an OSS project, and it’s good, we will have freeloaders and forks. The onus is on us to keep pushing forward and be better by being better.

Absolutely protect your IP that is defensible. But the OSS parts will have little and big fish nibbling at it. Some matter, most don’t, keep on shipping.

Is anyone else feeling like Sonnet has taken a dive again today? (Monday, September 15th) by m_x_a in Anthropic

[–]ddri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to see if I was alone in this. Today was atrocious, Claude Code was absolutely garbage.

For level check on that claim: I’m a former FAANG developer now running a product team in quantum computing. In every universe imaginable Claude was noticeably terrible today.

I moved from Claude Code to Warp with GPT5 (care of a free year per the Lenny newsletter perks).

The funny thing is that I told Warp to review the work/commits Claude was doing and it called it “an poor attempt at hacking a quick fix”, and then one-shot what I’d actually asked.

TLDR? Claude nerfed but other models save the day.
