Renaming or redefining “tests” because the LLM gets confused by the word is the tell.

You use a static typed language for guardrails but then you throw out the guardrails of a database schema? Seems like those two decisions are directly at odds. Without a db schema, you still have to worry about migrating data at runtime or

The post you have commented on is not pertaining to a general set of skills at all. Its a link to a specification for skills.

> The vehicle remained stopped, moved to the side of the road How do you remain stopped but also move to the side of the road? Thats a contradiction. Just like Cruise.

This is just sub agents, built into Claude. You don’t need 300,000 line tmux abstractions written in go. You just tell Claude to do work in parallel with background sub agents. It helps to have a file for handing off the prompt, tracking pr

I use it, sponsor it, and did a small pr. One of its goals is to be the most “forkable” starting point if i recall. But yes its just voice input. It’s meaningfully better than the mac dictation for me.

Anthropic is lucky their credit card processor has not cut them off due to excessive disputes that stem from their non existent support.

This is a really good implementation, but I don’t lean too heavily into skills especially not other people‘s. If I’m doing design who’s to say I want instructions in there in the first place like “pick an extreme“ (instructions in the desig

This company predicts software development is a dead occupation yet ships a mobile chat UI that appears to be perpetually full of bugs, and has had a number of high profile incidents.

I dislike the idea of coupling my workflow to saas platforms like github or code rabbit. The fact that you still have to create local tools is a selling point for just doing it all “locally”.

I’ve been doing game development and it starts to hallucinate more rapidly when it doesn’t understand things like the direction it placing things or which way the camera is oriented Gemini models are a little bit better about spatial reason

Banning paying users with no warning doesn’t seem super ethical. Probably not unethical, either, but I would not frame them as “the most ethical”

Yep, i have long felt like i randomly get sonnet results despite opus billing. I try to work odd hours and notice better results.

I expect that adding instructions that attempt to undo training produces worse results than not including the overbroad generalization in the training in the first place. I think the author isn’t making a complaint they’re documenting a tra

I have been using an open source program “handy”, it is a cross platform rust tauri app that does speech recognition and handles inputting text into programs. It works by piggybacking off the OS’s text input or copy and paste features. You

I clicked out of the article since it starts out with a contradiction. Experienced engineers can successfully vibe code? By definition it means not reading the output. If you’re not reading your output, then why does skill level even matter

Now roast the horrendous ugly colors on this horrendous ugly website that is frying my eyeballs. Did you prompt your LLM to create the biggest pile of garbage possible? Or is that just how you talk about other peoples work?

Having too many skills can be a mistake. Getting too meta can be a mistake. I wrote about it on my blog too.

Why is that funny? What company gives you unlimited resources? That doesn’t scale. Google employees can’t just demand a $10,000 workstation. It’s reasonable to assume they have some guardrails, for both financial and stability reasons. Who

I tried this and the flow is sketchy UX even if it’s probably not malicious. It opens Messages, has you send a code to a number they control, and that “verifies” you. Probably to multiplex many chats on one phone number. That’s not a takeov
