Then you surely are in favor of allowing them to be replaced with robots?

You seem to be saying that I never would have thought of how to prompt Claude until I became inspired by reading the post yesterday. But I use Claude with Playwright + screenshots basically daily.

My point is that you aren't simply pushing robots off the sidewalk and getting a better city. You have externalized the problem somewhere else. "Look, our streets are free of garbage", he says, dumping it all into the ocean..

> “Chicago sidewalks are for people, not delivery robots.” This seems to be a false dichotomy. Isn't it obvious that if there weren't robots, there would be people delivering your food instead? And as a biker, I actually find d

The original post that failed to create the Space Jam had no comments on a lack of "proper zoom behavior" or "window resize". It said that the LLM failed to place the elements on the page. The LLM has now solved that pro

It does amuse me when you have great, clean writing in some parts of a post, but then you have a sentence like > As we head into 2026, when looking at Nvidia, openai and Oracle dynamics, it looks like they are squeezing each other balls.

If three of my friends that have never played basketball take a shot and they all miss, that doesn't say anything about my ability to make a shot. Obviously, my friends are inexperienced with basketball. There is nothing wrong with tha

"One-shot" means you type one prompt into Claude, press enter, and then judge the results when the AI completes the task. The article says that Claude was able to take a single prompt and produce a pixel-perfect replica. Is there

I hate to tell you this but all digital representations of pi are numeric approximations. Your joke works, but perhaps not in the direction you were angling for.

But there is nothing culty about saying “an LLM could one-shot this” when it has clearly been demonstrated that an LLM can, in fact, one shot this!

If we both agree that prompting is net positive on time, I think we’re in agreement. You are trying to move the discussion to some sort of philosophical point about knowledge gain and subjective experience, but that is definitely not what I

Haha. For what it’s worth, and despite the downvotes, I do appreciate the feedback.

You should go read it and see if you can tell me a way I could improve it. I felt I gave actionable advice, but I’m always happy to know if I could have said things better.

“Setting up playwright” is about two sentences of a prompt to Claude. I know this because I’ve done it many times. The authors prompt in the post is only a few hundred words. (Most of the post is just LLM output.) I’m certain I could type t

The point is that if we agree that this task is truly a one shot, as long as you agree it’s faster to prompt than code, then while you “easily” do this task in around an hour (or however long you say it will take you), I’ll prompt Claude in

I wrote a comment saying that this should be possible with a proper playwright harness and screenshot taking. My comment ended up in the negatives (though curiously no one stopped to explain why), as if I was saying something so absurdly in

Context is king. The problem is that you are the one currently telling Claude how close it is and what to do next. But if you give it the tools to do that itself, it will make a world of difference. Give Claude a way to iteratively poke at

Is it really that uncharitable? Yes, it's slightly hyperbolic, but I argue only slightly. Whether intended or not, the tone of the article is patronizing. Here are some examples. > The programmers who live in Flatland > Likewise,

Quite a lot of people have given Lisp a shot and determined, for one reason or another, that it doesn't work for them. Why wouldn't that be the case? There are no special forces that prevent people from giving Lisp a shot when eve

This comment is a real rollercoaster. I can’t tell which side you’re arguing for.

One shot just means one prompt. What Claude decides to do during that prompt is up to it.

Surely then people start using LLMs to obfuscate compiled source to the point that another LLM can’t deobfuscate it. I imagine it’s always easier to make something messy than clean. Something like a rule of thermodynamics or something :) Th

What I meant is that it is proper etiquette to disclose that you are the creator of D.

by johnfn 11mo ago
Why would a comment suggesting to use D not be the place to have a conversation for why D doesn't see adoption?

You should probably say you are the core contributor to D!
