I'm working on an AI (Aethas, https://blog.aethas.ai) that preps context before my meetings, sets reminders, makes design drafts, summarizes meetings, and drafts follow-up emails without me asking. Basically trying to have an entire personal AI like Jarvis that has the same context as me but acts on it automatically. Uses my Obsidian for knowledge, Claude for reasoning, pull data from written notes... Still early days but it feels like magic when I use it.
It may be a configuration thing. I've found quite the opposite. Github Copilot using Sonnet 4 will not manage context very well, quite frequently resorting to running terminal commands to search for code even when I gave it the exact file it's looking for in the copilot context. Claude code, for me, is usually much smarter when it comes to reading code and then applying changes across a lot of files. I also have it integrated into the IDE so it can make visual changes in the editor similar to GitHub Copilot.
I do agree with you, Github Copilot uses more tokens like you mentioned with redundant searches. But at the end of the day, it solves the problem. Not sure if the cost out weights the benefit though compared to Claude Claude. Going to try Claude Code more and see if I'm prompting it incorrectly.
I think learning from omission is a real thing. If you never observed anyone doing it, then why would you? When I was growing up, no one ever talked about mental health or therapy, so I didn't even realize it was an option until college when I met others raised in a different culture.
But, where would you observe it? It isn't the kind of thing people talk about in public, usually. I know my wife and her friends discuss mental health issues, but they have never done so in front of me. Those discussions only happen in private.
The only thing I can figure is that as teenagers girls discuss mental health issues and they learned it from slightly older teenage girls who themselves learned it from their own slightly older teenage girls when they were younger.
There are many people that have a fear of rejection. A list like this helps to illustrate that it is okay to be rejected. You can be both successful, and have failed to nail an interview. The list seems purposely devised to help those who have that sort of problem, not as a list to remind him of his failures.
