This is super important - even if it's not currently the best measure of degradation yet. Anecdotally, Opus 4.5 has gotten so bad for me it's almost adding time to my workflow instead saving it. It'd be nice to have more 3rd party measurements like this to hold Anthropic accountable.
MeritFirst is a VC-backed startup building a new way to identify talent, where intelligence, problem-solving, and adaptability matter more than credentials. We're a small, profitable team using a modern stack (TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres/Drizzle, Vercel).
You'll work side-by-side with the founders, own features end-to-end, and have direct input into product decisions. Competitive salary + equity.

You can take kahnclusions' word for it, or you can take Eugene Wigner's:
> I have known a great many intelligent people in my life. I knew Planck, von Laue and Heisenberg. Paul Dirac was my brother in law; Leo Szilard and Edward Teller have been among my closest friends; and Albert Einstein was a good friend, too. But none of them had a mind as quick and acute as Jancsi (John) von Neumann. I have often remarked this in the presence of those men and no one ever disputed. But Einstein's understanding was deeper even than von Neumann's. His mind was both more penetrating and more original than von Neumann's. And that is a very remarkable statement. Einstein took an extraordinary pleasure in invention. Two of his greatest inventions are the Special and General Theories of Relativity; and for all of Jancsi's brilliance, he never produced anything as original.
Neumann was a human calculator + encyclopedia in one. If there was ever intellectual olympics track and field, he would dominate the single sprint event.
What Einstein had was a deep curiosity, damn near super-human persistence, and some measure of an inventor's creativity. Even in mundane interactions, his curiosity stood out.
Really cool! Like i_c_b mentioned my only feedback is that, even in the practice mode, there's a lot of negative feedback.
I'd recommend adding a step to the practice mode where whatever highlighted region of the fretboard you're practicing has all of the notes visible, and then over time the notes are taken away as you build up your memorization.
Noted! Thank you! I'm planning on building a Duolingo style spaced repetition system for this. I really wanted to work on more modules like Intervals and Triads (for selfish reasons) but enough people have made the point you made that I think its logical to address the issue.
Could you talk a bit about the negative feedback in practice mode? Is it the unpleasant buzzing when you tap the wrong note? What would be an alternative?
Thanks for the insight! At a high-level, how did Likes work when you were at Twitter? Were a certain amount of Like requests batched then applied at the DB level at the same time to ease writes?
Not too long ago I tried getting Haskell Language Server, GHC, Cabal, Stack, etc. to play nice together in Neovim but didn't have much luck. Has anyone else here had luck with Neovim + Haskell?
`Foldable` is basically the FP equivalent of `Iterable` in Java if you're familiar with that. It's an abstraction you can write against if you want to support all sorts of data structures that can be iterated on (e.g. arrays, lists, trees, etc.).
