I‘ve had a similar feeling before Opus 4.5. Now it suddenly clicks with me, and it has passed the shittiness threshold, into the „often useful“ area. I suspect that’s because Apple is partnering with Anthropic and they will have improved Sw

Yeah, don‘t rely on the LLM finding all the issues. Complex code like Swift concurrency tooling is just riddled with issues. I usually need to increase to 100% line coverage and then let it loop on hanging tests until everything _seems_ to

It’s magical incantations that might or might not protect you from bad behavior Claude learned from underqualified RL instructors. A classic instruction I have in CLAUDE.md is „Never delete a test. You are only allowed to replace with a tes

Well structured monoliths are modularized just like microservices. No need to give each module its own REST API in order to keep it clean.

In large projects you need to actually point it to the interesting files, because it has no way of knowing what it doesn’t know. Tell it to read this and that, creating summary documents, then clear the context and point it at those summari

Hey XY, Sorry for the cheeky reach-out. I‘ve already applied to the XZY role and just wanted to say I‘m really interested because it seems like it could be very good fit for both sides. I see you‘ve been using [tech] a lot, which I‘m perso

I thought Excel is the bread and butter in your space. How is this possible?

What have the Romans ever done for us? Wearables are amazing as well.

That’s clearly not only introversion, but (probably little masked) autism.

I‘m using this, works really well and doesn’t pollute context as much: https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts/blob/main/scripts/...

What I‘m describing is probably a few minutes of exploring and writing a good prompt, vs what, 4h of CSS wrangling?

Won’t that work better without killing & eating them young?

Why not just cold-message people from a potential employer when you’re applying there? Works way better than it should, and is more targeted than talking to people 99% of who you‘ll never see again, at an event.

I would put Claude into a loop and let it make screenshots itself, diffing them against the original screenshot, until it has found the right arrangement at the planets‘ starting position (pixel perfect match).

It's likely that was due to catastrophic events, and not general resilience. If a big meteor hits earth now, we'll likely by at a population of a few k or 10k as well.

There's sufficient evidence that hunter gatherer societies have indeed used various plant- and animal based antiseptics (honey, oils, tannins, resins, fungi,...) to treat wounds.

That's easily fixed by adding Content-Length headers.

You definitely don't automatically need antibiotics for something you step on, or get cut. Any topical antiseptic will do, and probably perform better.

For topical use, maybe an iodine spray would have been better suited. Iodine kills way more pathogens than antibiotics, and it's very good at that, and has no reported cases of resistance development.

I‘m not sure I agree on your second point. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and others are endemic to the developed world. My personal opinion here is that constant oversupply with calories is not something humans have been able

Small pox was way after hunter gatherer times, so I‘m not sure what point you are making. Huge farms were a thing even in medieval times, with hundreds of animals.

Antibiotics should IMO be reserved for life threatening situations, or likely upcoming life threatening situations. In the 80s as a toddler I was given antibiotics for measles (they can’t possibly work on viruses), and had half a year of di

Hard to catch a disease when it’s always the same 15 people around you, with no communication to the outside world; and no factory farming that incubates most of these diseases. Regarding your reference to how brutal and never-ending work w

Wouldn’t the download terminate without emitting the script?

Serious question, why or how would a script get truncated when transferred over https?

Yeah just don’t go to a BMW dealer, and save 50+% of the cost. I recently had numerous repairs done for €2k on my 2er, and the dealer had quoted me €5k. 1k for a part isn’t that outlandish, you just can’t go to a dealer that bills you €300

Yes, that makes sense to me. I cannot really put builds in a queue because I have very fine-grained updates that I tell my agents so they do need the direct feedback to check what they have just done actually works, or they will interfere w

Well you can’t edit files while Xcode is building or the compiler will throw up, so I‘m wondering what you mean here. You can’t even run swift test in 2 agents at the same time, because swift serializes access for some reason. Whenever I ha

Maybe they are positively surprised that recall of their RL works so accurately that even the document name is remembered.

Is anyone actually getting good results out of GPT Pro? For coding problems, GPT Thinking seems faster and more accurate. Pro has given me some very dumb answers actually, totally misunderstanding the question. Once I asked it do design a r
