One I noticed with gemini, especially 3 flash: "this is the classic _____".

Isn't that what terminal-bench does?

Christmas has come early! Thank you for sharing this


This comment allows ycombinator to steal ideas from their user's comments, using their huge mass news platform. Temendous overlap indeed.


This is not just about timestamps but how the traditional chat UI is simply not a good interface for information retrieval and organization.


I've had this exact experience. I used gnome for just one week before getting a macbook and after 3+ years of MacOS I still its find multi desktop handling absurd and unintuitive.

What makes this worse is that Apple's refusal to expose any public APIs to control workspace behavior so you can't even work around their shitty choices.

Instead of iterating on existing functionality, they launch flashy additions like Stage Manager only to abandon them immediately.


I'm also developing a similar branching interface though mine is structured differently. I hope we can make a dent in the LLM space, best of luck!


Nice! Excited to see what you come up with. Best of luck


The chat interface has regrettably become the universal mold for LLM interaction. There are no dissenters. Every provider has the exact same experience. Just off the top of my head I can think of more than a dozen different features that would make LLM interactions infinitely more intuitive and efficient.


a) He has a “I use the web in a very niche way that nobody cares about an your browser sucks if it doesn’t meet those exact needs” way of thinking

I think it's a very shallow response to "The desktop metaphor must die" and doesn't address the core questions that it raises.

> The desktop metaphor is still unmatched when it comes to productivity

Well, duh? Of course it dominates productivity when we've spent fifty years building every tool, workflow, and interface around it. It's better than anything else, because there isn't anything else! It's like saying horses were the best transportation in 1800 because all the roads were designed for them.

The article also sets up a false tablet vs. desktop dichotomy and overlooks that tablet OSs inherit the same PARC-era WIMP assumptions.

For a more thorough critique of the desktop paradigm, I'd recommend the Liber Indigo (https://youtu.be/As_SiWqC5tc?si=_rKuZQN22ZkbqGvW) video series on youtube, which does a stellar job highlighting these foundational problems.
