I don't know what the question implied but generally speaking it is a known effect that making AI do the things you used to do accumulates cognitive debt which seems intuitively true too. Physical exercise is a good analogy perhaps.

In this case it's relatively simple things like figuring out the correct ffmpeg command to pull frames from a video, which is then documented in the CLAUDE file. Granted, I don't understand the underpinnings of LLMs but I would've understood that things documented in the CLAUDE file help it reduce cognitive complexity and "remember" more easily something relatively simple like that example.

    It's an ffmpeg command, not anything meaningful.

    If you keep breaking the site guidelines we will ban you. We've warned you many times, including recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44271716 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44271716. I don't want to ban you, because you've also posted good things, but we primarily have to moderate based on the bad things people post, and we can't have people attacking others like this. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this (properly), we'd appreciate it.

      People are forgetting they have a brain that can figure things out, don't you think it's worth reminding them that they can figure things out? I weep for the future where people can't do things because ChatGPT is down. My comment was simply trying to remind someone that they have an amazing brain they can use to figure things out. Sorry if that offends you.

        Not offending me - I'm just letting you know that you're breaking the rules and if you keep doing that we will ban you. Telling someone that by following your instructions they can become "more useful than a tin can" and "might actually learn something", and that they haven't given "figuring it out themselves a try", is for sure over the line into personal attack. Moreover, if we take all those swipes out of your GP comment, there's literally nothing left! That's definitely not what we want on this site, as should surely be clear from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

        You are seeing "swipes" where there simply are none. You certainly are reading more into my original comment than there was.

        Of course interpretations can differ about any language, but this was not anywhere near a borderline call, in terms of the standards we apply here. If you prefer a different word than 'swipe' I'm happy to do that, but either way we need you not to post any more comments of that sort.
