Top solve rate is currently 24% with Opus 4.8... What's a competent human supposed to score?

What non coding tasks do you use Claude Code for? Genuinely curious.

Hey HN! I built Partycles because I needed lightweight celebration animations for a React project and couldn't find anything that wasn't bloated with dependencies.

It's just one hook - useReward() - that gives you 11 different particle effects: confetti, fireworks, sparkles, hearts, stars, bubbles, snow, emoji, coins, lightning, and flower petals. The whole thing is under 10KB gzipped with zero dependencies.

Demo: https://jonathanleane.github.io/partycles

The library is MIT licensed and on GitHub. Would love contributions - especially new animation types or performance improvements. The codebase is pretty straightforward, each animation is its own module.

I'm using it in production for success notifications and user achievements. Works great on mobile too.

Tech: TypeScript, React 16.8+, rollup for bundling. No canvas - just DOM elements with CSS transforms, which keeps it simple and performant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Interestingly, it failed today's NY Times Connections while 01-preview nailed it.

The prompt if anyone wants to try it:

• ENDEAVOR • CURB • NATIONAL • BOARDWALK • HERTZ • TWIN • MOLE • ENTERPRISE • SILICON • PROJECT • TIGER • VOLT • GAME • RAY • SECOND • VENTURE

Its a game of NY Times connections. You need to make 4 groups of 4 words. Can you do it?

This guy was one of the greats. A deepness in the sky (the sequel) is one of my favourite sci fi books of all time, and even better than Fire upon the deep imo.

Have you started migrating anyone over to Mistral Large yet?

It's not a 6% higher risk, it's nearly double the risk - i.e. 7% vs 13.2%.
