feynmanalgo··on My experience with Claude Code after two weeks of adventures
I see two trends recently: 1. low skill people using it for trivial projects. 2. devs writing out the whole app into memory/context down to the names of the files, interfaces, technologies, preparing the testing, compilation framework and then hand-holding the llm to arrive (eventually) at an acceptable solution. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4_YYrIKLac

80% (99%?) of what you hear about llms are from the first group, amplified by influencers.

I'm guessing people feel the productivity boost because documenting/talking to/guiding/prompting/correcting an LLM is less mentally taxing than actually doing the work yourself even though time taken or overall effort is the same. They underestimate the amount of work they've had to put in to get something acceptable out of it.

feynmanalgo··on Smart mushroom growing device for beginners

None of them scream Blade Runner 2049 to me.
feynmanalgo··on 40k coin tosses yield ambiguous evidence for dynamical bias
You don’t have to be a magician. I was impressing other kids doing exactly this, you just toss so the coin goes high but turns slowly and catch it in your hand rather than let if fall to the ground. After not so many tries you get a pretty good intuition on how you have to throw to get the desired result.

If this is legit it would be one of the most impressive things I've seen in many years.
feynmanalgo··on Sheryl Sandberg stepping down as Facebook COO
> Sandberg said the decision to step down will allow her to focus more on her philanthropic work.

After heading the company that created enormous psychological and sociological issues in the world and was/is involved in shady, anti privacy, illegal, anti-competition dealings she just gets to retire and focus on her "philanthropic" work. She's the modern equivalent of a robber baron.
