It takes 3 weeks to get past the AI customer service bot, assuming you ever do. Good luck.

It has lost all trust from me by now. A google search for ABC will return all of ABC's competitors, sometimes ABC itself, and sometimes malware.

Yeah, I did notice a drop in quality. I dismissed it as saving the hard tickets for last, but I find myself having to explain how to do it better. Often I ask it for approaches on how to to do something. It would give me say three options.

They used to refer to it as "Do things that don't scale" rather than cheating :)

There were a lot of pitchforks back when Sonnet 4.5 was accidentally down for a few hours: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1rlz7kw/sonnet_45... It goes to show that there's a very large a

Yup, they recommend a minimum of high for coding now, and cranked the default up to extra high.

For me, making it high effort just fixed all the quality problems, and even cut down on token use somehow

Claude doesn't even make the prompts secret or even yell at you for jailbreaking them.

They're always peak when released, then degrade over the next few months. Which doesn't matter because in 5 months, there's a new record-breaking model. Gemini Pro, once voted the best model in 2025 by Polymarket, just spouts

We shouldn't separate them. Capitalism and democracy is often sold to us under the assumption that humanity is intelligent and can calculate depth. Let's say Company A makes $100 products but creates 5000 units of pollution. Compa

The basics always matter. It's communication in the end, and you have to speak the same language. Know what O(log N) means. Know when you pick a BFS vs DFS. Why do we use hash maps and why they work. Why Markov chains and state machine

A lot of early games were more like file systems and they worked. I'm surprised nobody had mentioned ACID yet. The API revolution might be another thing - you were able to swap out a database with any other. Risky decisions are fine wh

It was always a strategy. More so with B2B. Would you use a payment gateway or database that has only received seed funding? I worked at a B2B unicorn once that raised funds, not so much because they needed the money, but because it symboli

Style 1: Question is so tough that you can only use AI to solve it. But for part to, you have to edit the code without AI. Style 2: You are free to use any tool you like as long as you build this full app in an hour. Evaluation is that it w

It's the opposite of the article. Wrap the body in a cloth. Bury as fast as possible. Bury as cheap as possible. One headstone and one footstone. No buildings on it though the headstones recently have names. Recently there's been

I think they're based around capacity. When everyone moved over to Claude and when the data centers got bombed, capacity went down. It was made worse with all these multi-agent orchestration ideas using many times more tokens. They gav

Someone mentioned that even if you tell Claude its work will be reviewed by GPT, it will do better.

I've been building the games I've always wanted to play. It used to take months to make something like Medieval Building Simulator. Now you tell some idea of what you want and AI gives you a better thing than what you originally i

I gave it a photo of a can of "hommus with tahini" [sic] and the results were just amazing. Sounds like a little ad. It's like that ChatGPT moment where everyone was just converting things to Ghibli. I'm sure we'll

I find the inverse as well - asking a LLM to be chatty ends up with a much higher output. I've experimented with a few AI personality and telling it to be careful etc matters less than telling it to be talkative.

It's why it starts with "You're absolutely right!" It's not to flatter the user. It's a cheap way to guide the response in a space where it's utilizing the correction.

I think CLI should be the default where supported. i.e. the AI has already been trained on Supabase, Heroku, AWS. For everything else, MCP.

It's not necessarily faux pas. Community types come to /ask first but some go to /show first. It's more that releases have become the new devlog these days. Someone who only talks about an idea and hasn't written a

Yeah, it's the opposite of showdead. Many of these get flagged automatically anyway. But I would like to read what trolls and throwaways want to say, so I turn on showdead. Maybe some people want more filters.

I joined a few low code hackathons back in 2024, before this agentic stuff. They're fully dead from what I see. With low code, you'd drag a component onto the screen, click it, look for a field (which may have a different name to

ChatGPT makes sense though. They shouldn't be dumping the whole chat into memory the entire time. They're compressing it in some way. If they do it on device, it saves the cost of doing it on the cloud. ChatGPT's memory featu

The startup game is about building assets and then cashing out on them during exit. Assets are harder to measure. Facebook used to say something silly like every user was worth $100. That sounded ridiculous for a completely free app but ove

At least they have customer service who can give us refunds right?

Sometimes we try out of mischief, but this might only work on the most primitive of LLMs, like GPT-5.3 or some various self hosted ones. The new ones are more resistant to such prompt hacks.

The meaning of life lies in death. Death is the boundary of life. What matters after death? What matters before it? Avoiding death is impractical. The lifehack is to propagate a bit of your life forwards, i.e. children. Make sure they end u
