Thanks! I must have had a typo when I searched the page.

~That line isn't in the file I linked, care to share the context? Seems pretty innocuous on its own.~ [edit] Never mind, find in page fail on my end.

The name "Undercover mode" and the line `The phrase "Claude Code" or any mention that you are an AI` sound spooky, but after reading the source my first knee-jerk reaction wouldn't be "this is for pretending to

In my view an unappreciated benefit of the vanilla setup is you can get really accustomed to the model’s strengths and weaknesses. I don’t need a prompt to try to steer around these potholes when I can navigate on my own just fine. I love s

My experience is that Sonnet can be a bit verbose and prompting it to be more succinct is tricky. On the other hand, Opus out of the box will give me a one word answer when appropriate, in Claude Code anyway.

This is definitely part of it. I think another part of it is that AI tools demo really well, easily hiding how imperfect and limited they are when people see a contrived or cherry-picked example. Not a lot of people have a good intuition fo

Huh, there must be some reason it shows up for some people but not others. Weird.

I don't see it there, but I do see it in screenshots online. Maybe it was removed or moved.

Yes, all the time. I understand that if you have a setup where you do everything in your IDE you could reasonably leave it full screen all the time and I get why that works for some people. I'm not one of those folks and I use separate

Pretty insubstantial high level tour of broad AI pushback. Goes from "It was just not 'elegant.'" [sic] to "I don't want to give up my brain" [sic].

This doesn’t address the author’s point about novelty at all. You don’t need 100% accuracy to have the capability to solve novel problems.

Their vulnerable introduction leading into the 4 task bar screenshots made me laugh out loud.

Everyone is different, and even though I don't share your experience, I don't view yours as either good or bad, it just is what it is. My experience is different but I'm not planning on ever telling anyone "Oh don't

Honestly I think this is the primary explanation for why there is so much disagreement on if LLMs are useful or not. If you leave out the more motivated arguments in particular.

In my experience trying to push the onus of filtering out slop onto reviewers is both ineffective and unfair to the reviewer. When you submit code for review you are saying "I believe to the best of my ability that this code is high qu

by peacebeard 6mo ago
Agreed. When you submit code you must take responsibility for its quality. Blaming AI for low quality code is like blaming hammers for giant holes in the drywall. If you don't know how to use AI tools without confidence that your code

Sure! I went through my Claude history and pulled out some of the most recent ones (anonymized a bit). I had it write code when it was rote / boilerplate work to save time, and other than that I used it more to discuss the code rather

When doing more technical / novel work you can’y vibe code it but you can still use ai tools to make things faster. Having Claude implement small chunks with strict direction and oversight is underrated in my opinion. Or just using it

That's a really good point. Maybe in part because Beyond had a highly visible IPO they became the poster child for the success or failure of meat alternatives but in reality their story is pretty much just their own story.

My personal experience is that Opus 4.6 degrades after a while but the degradation is more subtle and less catastrophic than in the past. I still aggressively clear sessions to keep it sharp though.

We're going to have to collect data on the ratio of bathroom graffiti between tags and limericks. Anecdotally, where I live a it's mostly silly goosery. Just to be totally clear, here is an example. Please cover up my user name fo

Your “in practice” is doing too much heavy lifting here. This comes across as more of a prejudice on people than a fair assessment of the tools and techniques.

There is a big difference between "asking an editor for suggestions" and "vibe posting". You don't lose your voice if you ask for advice and manually incorporate the suggestions you agree with. You might lose your v

The big question is: if copyrighted material was used in the training material, is the LLM's output copyright infringement when it resembles the training material? In your example, you are taking the copyrighted material and giving it

You should consider “Make better care more affordable” as an alternative to “Take worse care of your kids.”

The new bottleneck is code ownership. You have to understand what it does and how it works to maintain it long term. You can LLM into a maintainability disaster but you can’t LLM out of it. Biting off more than you can chew is more dangerou

Works fine for me in sessions that use a lot of context. My workflow is to keep an eye on the % that shows how soon it will auto compact. And either /clear and start over, or manually compact at a convenient place where I know it'
