| Yup. These are people who have gone full Claude. The dopamine seeking is at previously unseen levels. they think this pr is some factual item that means something so they post it on HN as click bait. But no it only means something to a fulltime ai slopper |

| These invectives are verging on slurs at this point. You don’t know anything about the chemical seeking disposition of the author who is actually here in the comments, so why don’t we just stick to facts instead of loading posts with hyperbole and name calling? All it’s does is invite name calling and hyperbole back. You can express your frustration in ways more conducive to productive discourse. |

| If the Ai came back to me with a 1600x improvement (still in pgrust readme), I would be highly suspicious of the Ai and the code it wrote The hype factory must grow, I suppose, though I would prefer if the model makers would stop with this "complete the task by any and every means possible" and replace it with "I don't know, I should ask or do more learning" At least they have added a test which looks to make sure the Ai doesn't do it again... if you need this kind of test, something is wrong https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/blob/38634b408dea373f3944... |

Amazing! Then i tell it "hmm ffmpeg has been really well optimised, are you sure?" and it says "oh, i was running our code directly but running ffmpeg executables with loads of overhead, ffmpeg is actually 50% faster" | | |

The optimizations on PostgreSQL are real if done correctly, it's just a very big project. | | |
| ▲ | shawabawa3 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | My point was that while Claude _is_ legitimately very good at optimising. It will also write its own benchmarks to test its optimisations which are frequently stacked in its favour. You have to be very careful that reported speedups are actually real |
