You don't need to do much, the /agent command is the most useful, and it walks you through it. The main thing though is to give the agent something to work with before you create it. That's why I go through the steps of letti

Not that I have seen, which is probably a big part of the disconnect. Mostly it's tribal knowledge. I learned through experimentation, but I've seen tips here and there. Here's my workflow (roughly) > Create a CLAUDE.md fo

Trying to one-shot large codebases is a exercise in futility. You need to let Claude figure out and document the architecture first, then setup agents for each major part of the project. Doing this keeps the context clean for the main agent

This isn't meant as a criticism, or to doubt your experience, but I've talked to a few people who had experiences like this. But, I helped them get Claude code setup, analyze the codebase and document the architecture into markdow

I think everything you said was true 1-2 years ago. But the current LLMs are very good about citing work, and hallucinations are exceedingly rare. Gemini for example frequently directs you to a website or video that backs up it's answe

Compared to what though? I have ended up with needlessly convoluted solutions when learning something the old-fashioned way before. Then over time, as I learn more, I improve my approach. Not everyone has access to an expert that will guide

Is it just me, or does anyone else use AI not just to write code, but to learn. Since I've been using Claude I've learned a lot about Rust by having it build things for me, then working with that code. I've never been a front

My wife works for a small distributor of memory (not modules, just the chips), and their manufacturers won't even provide prices or take backorders. I understand why they did it in the current market, but Micron's exit is going to

That's a pretty condescending take. To some extent I agree that the upgrade path is lacking. I recently helped a friend move out of the ino file model into building regular c++ applications because his design was getting pretty complic

That's my experience as well. The LLM is great for what I consider scaffolding. I can describe the architecture I want, some guidelines in CLAUDE.md, then let it write a bunch of stubbed out code. It saves me a ton of time typing. It&#

You made a lot of bold assertions there. It's as if you have a complete and definitive theory of human intelligence to compare it against. Which if true, would be incredible, because there isn't a scientifically accepted theory, n

The same thing came up in the early 2000s when businesses tried offshoring software development. It turns out that translating business requirement to technical design and implementation is one of the hard parts of software development. In

I think this is a really cool project, but the problem with putting so many peripherals on such a small processor is that it's really tough to have firmware that uses all of those things at once and fit in the memory footprint. I can s

There are more than one theories, as well as some evidence that consciousness may not exist in the way we'd like to think. It may be a trick our mind plays on us. The Global Workspace Theory addresses this, and some of the predictions

My issue is that from a scientific point of view, physicalism is all we have. Everything else is belief, or some form of faith. Your example about relativity is good. It might have sounded insane at some point, but it turns out, it is physi

I like the distinction you made there. My observation that when it comes to AGI, there are those who are saying "Not possible with the current technology." and "Not possible at all, because humans have [insert some characteri

It's not a matter of whether it's taxed. It's a matter of how the costs are expensed. If I invest a $1m in software development now, I'm not making any profit yet. I may not make a profit. It's a question over wheth

I have an amateur built experimental airplane, and on my first flight, GPS wasn't working. It was working on the ground, so I figured a bad coax cable or something from the vibration. When I landed it started working again, but later i

I'm curious why not. I am running a few different models on my mac studio. I'm using llama.cpp, and it performs amazingly fast for the $7k I spent.

IMO, the real value of ROS is the data logging (bag/mcap files), visualization (FoxGlove) are the main value of ROS. Even then, I'm not sure it's worth the overhead and brittleness of building and running it. There is just so

One decision is by the fourth circuit, the other is the fifth. I don't know enough about the details, but in situations like this, the Supreme Court takes the case to resolve discrepancies.

One of our cats was very old (18+) and sick. We made the choice to have her euthanized to end her suffering and the vet came to our house to do it. One of our other (male) cats loved her and always tried to cuddle her. My wife took the old

I have a Vantage Pro2 with the WeatherLink Live. I'm really happy with it. It has a pretty simple API you can hit on the local network, and it can push to weatherlink.com. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I live in a fairly rura

Try not to read too much into that, the MIT license was in the original blank repo I started with. There are a few questions I need to get answered, so the lack of that file doesn't necessarily mean anything about the license. The prev

We (Jeff Slutter and I) wanted to use it, but we were just in the 'exploration' phase. It's not connected to anything at the moment. Keep in mind this was 15 years ago, there are probably better options now.

The code on github worked well in Linux several years ago. It shouldn't be too hard (other than the MVE codecs we need to straighten out).
