You don't think this is just a joke that multiple people thought of independently? Some of them might be in reaction to a local event, or even a worldwide event that had no local impact. But I think they're mostly just jokes.

I'm still getting there, but I've seen this. I spent hours a couple days ago trying to get pi, llamacpp, and qwen3.6 working well. I had them working before, but not well. I Googled, and I followed it's instructions an

Plus, it'll go stale as quickly as comments do. Some might be correct, but I think a lot of code gets fixed or changed pretty quickly, meaning the pseudocode is basically useless afterwards, unless it's updated... And that'

Yeah. I think it'd be fun to watch an LLM try, though. I'm imagining that it'll really show all the things in the UML that don't fully make sense, but look great at first.

Have you not met humans that do that, too? When it was found that smoking causes cancer, many, many people kept doing it. Then the government taxed the crap out of it, and some people still do it. It's easy to say that people have

That's my thought. I've been using Matt Pocock's wayfinder and grilling skills, and I quite often end up in what would be considered "arguing" if done with another person. It's one-sided. It says something w

I think that just adds another unnecessary level of abstraction that you then have to understand before you can approve. It feels like taking a half-step backwards before moving forwards again.

The AIs can read images and charts. If you want to try programming with UML, you should absolutely try it. My guess is that you'll initially be absolutely gobsmacked, but then the problems will start to show and it'll be frustra

It sounds like you're always in the pursuit of happiness, you just don't frame it that way. You are always trying to make your life better than it is, which either leads to less misery or more happiness. 2 sides of the same coin

I've been using Claude to plan out some personal projects, and at first it seems like it can do anything ! But as I've used it, I've noticed that it overcomplicates everything and often even forgets what it previously said

I don't care who has their name on the package. I just enjoy the different flavors. The Selena Gomez ones were great . I appreciate the different flavors occasionally, and buy them from time to time if I see them. I realize most pe

If they user types "x broken" or "i do y" into Claude or ChatGPT with no context, that's absolutely no better than just sending it to you. I'd argue that it's worse because now you have no idea what the

>Most definitely. Isn't that the very thing you just claimed people don't do? For simple, impactful sentences, I often use short ones. They work better.

Then you'll probably also like /statusline too :D You just give it instructions on what you want to see down there, and it'll set it up. I like the model name and context.

Someone here suggested they might keep it forever. Good to see they're considering it. Thanks!

I've been using it on a few personal projects and run into the limits quite often. With Sonnet on high, I often hit right about the 5 hr mark when it resets. With Opus, I'll hit sooner. I'm kind of surprised that you haven&

Claude did the same thing to me the other day. I ran out of my 5 hr limit, and it went into my $100 credit they had given me. Multiple parallel agents. It ate it in no time flat. When I checked, all that credit was gone, I still wasn&#x2

They're definitely anime-style voices, though most of the female ones are very annoying. I couldn't stand to watch an anime with them.

Have you tried Matt Pocock's "handoff" skill?

by wccrawford 2mo ago
I agree. If you use the AI for (4), it's pretty much guaranteed to hallucinate whatever it wants and then approve it. For small projects, it might be good enough. For anything serious, it's not. I find I get the best results wh

Only if you don't count the cost of the equipment and installation.

It seems like that, but it's not. When trying to figure out a problem, even that tiny bit of information is worthwhile. If nobody else has posted it, it's the first indication that it doesn't work. If others have posted,

I definitely appreciate being told "I don't know", but I've found in business settings that people expect to get reprimanded for saying that more than a couple times a year, and they refuse to say it. They will invent cr

If you try a new thing and run into 1 (or maybe 2 errors), maybe it's worth the time to report them. If you run into a few errors, it's into "this isn't ready" or "they didn't try hard enough" terri

I didn't play on hard, but that wasn't my experience with the puzzles. I thought they were all pretty good. I didn't use a guide at all. It's been a while, but I think I pretty much agree about the writing and story.

It's $7 part made of a tiny bit of metal. If it was actually a $2 part, I'd agree with you. But it's enough that it's probably worth returning, especially since he had to try a few to get it right, and then he can retur

In Chrome, I just right-clicked the link above and hit "open in split view" and it did. It was 50/50, with HN on the left, so maybe it's not as easy to read the post in smaller windows. Otherwise, seems to provide the s

I've been using Matt Pocock's skills at home, and they seem pretty great. He makes a great case for them vs other skills in his videos. I don't remember the exact arguments, but basically they're designed to be called

Some of the US theatres (Regal, for instance) have something like that, too.
