Claude regularly looses it's mind when refactoring or generating code. I'm talking about failures to the point where files are unrecoverable except to fall back to the head of main. I see this even with opus 4.5 every day. I can&#

The best AI (and I do believe that Claude is one of the best) is able to hold a conversation, maintain context, and respond to simple requests. The key is understanding that not every dev know what questions to ask or when the answers are b

I use Claude 4.5 almost every day. It makes mistakes every day. The worst mistakes are the ones that are not obvious and only by careful review do you see the flaws. At the moment, even the best AI cant be reliable event to make modest refa

Twitter has about 40k times the daily activity of HN. If we assume Twitter has a value of 40b that would make hn valued at 1m which I think is still way way over valued imho.

I have to disagree. In my opinion, there is no real way to monetize this in a way that the community would embrace. You might run ads or email campaigns for a year but I imagine most users would just go someplace newer or better. No way to

The simple answer is dont lie. Tell the truth if asked but dont offer more information than what they request. Now you dont need to maintain the false context of the lie and it will be much easier to be natural in the interview.

While the productivity can be exciting. I personally observe the sa.e fatigue as described. I chock it up to the speed or frequency of context switching as a result of faster implementation.

When you say: "Should schools have a chess variant class where students invent and vibe code novel chess variants and play each other's variants?" I don't know what you are saying. Sounds more like your objective is to

That is not my experience, at least when I tried it just now.

I asked Claude to give me the pros and cons of "vibe coding" and it did so without confusion.

Just checking prices and labor rates. Those guys gave like an hour of their work to lost strangers. I guess it's not the biggest kindness but it still made a lasting impression on me. I would have loved to retire to Tahiti based on how

When I was young, my future wife and I went on vacation to Tahiti. We took a bus from our hotel to the Capital probably only 3 to 5 miles away bust still a good walk away. I thought it would be easy to get a bus back both because I knew a l

Possibly, but pre llm I dont recall ever doing triage on a new issue where the author of the patch had literally no idea what had been comitted. Something I can unfortunately no longer say.

In 2012 a survey found that 99.8% of college students owned a phone that could get SMS texts. There are phones under 25 bucks and plans with talk and text starting for free. This is way less than the calculator my kid was required to have.

How exactly do we come to the conclusion that a system feels pain? Is it because it told us so? In very cold weather, my car tells me the tires need air. The warning, like that of the time to change oil is bright yellow and flashes when I s

Absolutely, but it is much worse. Hey, I'm a fan of llm assist but I have seen vibe coders at work say. Here is my feature request and here is my code base. Make it happen. Then run two tests and commit. I sometimes call them into code

I used to feel this way and when I worked for a very large fortune 500 there were conference rooms where you had to scan your ID to enter. The cost of the meetings were calculated in real time based on who was there and the opportunity cost

You're suggesting that the only alternative to autonomous self-driving cars is public transit? By the way, I do vote with my wallet. I won't buy a car that has these features. I won't buy a car that serves me ads. I won'

When I moved to the bay area out of college housing was too expensive for me to manage even working for a large tech company. I lived in my buddy's dining room on the floor in a sleeping bag. After saving a bunch of money I was able to

Are you suggesting that you cant get to Home Depot without a self driving smart car?

Cool and all, but up until companies started putting this stuff in cars they cost $30k. Now the average car is 50k. The average car is now more expensive than my BMW 3 series with the premium package from a few years back. I don't want

Why do people what self driving cars at all? I certainly hate the thought of having to pay for any of this. Even if the end product is subscription based, all these feature cost money up front making new cars super expensive.

I wanted to see how this attribution they speak about works so I asked a question that I have an accepted answer for with also the highest votes. The response it provided was completely incorrect. Not slightly wrong but completely wrong ass
