Show HN: Better Than 4 But Not 5 – An LLM model ordering challenge

Hacker News - Fri, 04/18/2025 - 5:27pm

This simple game challenges you drag-and-drop a set of LLM models into the correct order (release date, input cost at launch, LM Arena score) using just their name.

It's no secret that LLM model names are a bit of a mess, but when OpenAI decided to backtrack from 4.5 to 4.1, well, I just couldn't let it go.

This was my first attempt at vibe coding something with VSCode Copilot Agent (w/ Claude 3.7 Sonnet). The agent got me like 95% functionality, but the moment I needed to crack open the code myself I couldn't handle the mess and had to clean it up. I am bad at letting go control enough for vibe coding. If anyone else has had that problem and gotten over it, I would love some helpful tips.

I collected the data primarily by digging through Simon Willison's blog archives and snapshotting LMArena's leaderboard. If you spot any inaccuracies in the model data, I'd appreciate corrections with sources!

Ask HN: Should I change my job?

Hacker News - Fri, 04/18/2025 - 5:20pm

Hi folks, I want to get some tips from real experience.

I work as a software engineer remotely the company is so great, the people, the projects we work on is what i actually love to work on my entire life and its used by real users so every change i make has real impact. The company is small to mid, we work on projects mostly for the gov and also we work on our own products. The salary i get is a senior/staff level salary in my country, even tho i only have 1 year of experience, but i dont get other benefits. Working hours are very flexible and there are no very big pressures.

I actually made a good relationship with CEO, and he has a lot of connections, so its another benefit too, i believe.

Its now almost 2 years for me working, and i always think about looking for another challenge, but i just cant, i cant find any place that offers what im currently at. But i dont want to imagine my self working here for 5 or more years.

So i want to ask you, should i change the job?
