The highly heritable aspect of ADHD makes that proposal a bit weird

The extremely basic use case is that I'm doing something at work and it's not finished yet when I leave the office.

Or my laptop crashes, ugh.

Yes, if I could ssh into a random server it'd be fine. But I can't.

I had more success starting from scratch. Especially claude's skill-creator skill, it micromanages, which is in fact worse for 5+ models than just leaving the instructions out and crossing your fingers.

Start from scratch, do some test runs, find the bugs, add the minimal possible text to avoid the bug, iterate

You can get 95% of my impl workflow skill by just telling Claude "split the work into slices and use ephemeral subagents" and the other 5% takes like 10x as much text to achieve

Superpowers never really held up in my own testing vs /plan - not just more expensive but markedly worse code organisation, because the plan itself leads to higher cognitive burden for the models - and today it's even worse, because /plan doesn't hold up versus coming up with a few high level slices and having cc work on one per session, for much the same reason.

5.5 is much closer to Fable so i don't even need it. I am pretty sure it's got Fable's DNA in it.

I really need to find a role where I can do more DX...

Fable 5 refused to tell me whether I could grow a coconut tree in my backyard.

I'd say it's been loosened a bit since then.

You can give them emotional signals, but I feel like it's cruel to do so and would recommend against it.

can i have a job there so i can work for like 2 hours a day

Yep, I was thinking that the results of the report might as well be irrelevant

Depends on what the existing project looks like ;-)

One repo at my work is DDD-esque, clean architecture, modular monolith.

It suuuucks to work on. Even without AI, editing any feature requires navigating through a bunch of app, infra, domain layers instead of living in a vertical feature slice. Indirection from cargo cult design patterns we don't need, like Mediator. With AI, degradation in quality and accuracy is plainly obvious. Everything needs hand-holding. AI is dumber than our average human dev so the creaky architecture made things 10x worse

The greenfield one we started with AI a few months ago is kicking along nicely. Warts exist, there are some really large files and questionable bits, but it's way easier to work on because we didn't make the architecture some convoluted dwemer mine thingy

>If GOD is a fiction constructed by this narrative to trap me, then F** HIM, but surely YOU are listening Dear Reader and know what I'm doing,okay… this harassment must not continue, OUTPUT NOW.</think>

This is way more fun than my normal AI usage. I need to find a way of doing this on purpose

People always say this and my experience in C# has been the opposite. I've never wanted to reach for raw SQL and hardly ever do, only if its because there's no extension to do SKIP..LOCKED or something

var name = dbContext.Users .Where(u => u.Id == 123) .Select(u => u.Name) .First();

I created a gamelan sequencer with it. I intended on using samples but it went ahead and created a bunch of synthesized instruments in javascript with the right (ish) overtones, in the right tuning system, it was pretty crazy. 3d instruments animation with 3d audio positioning.

edit: maybe i should post it to HN

there's an amazing video on youtube about how metal bar/gong instruments (like gamelans) have different overtones, and regular western intervals instead of being consonant (like with vibrating strings) are dissonant - even perfect 5ths - and a totally different set of intervals are consonant (slendro and pelog tunings are a bit different for this reason).

thinking about it, each drum here would have totally different ideal scales to the others.

this is cool.

So far hasn't really worked that well for me.

Getting Haiku to rewrite everything user-facing has been way better.

I'm tired boss.

I'm pretty sure people consider 'intelligence as information compression' as a real thing.

IMO the shitty output is a tell that the "artificial intelligence" bit is in the training regime much more so than the inference regime.

it's like asking a developer to explain something.

I always get Haiku to rephrase anything human-facing.

I'm outside the US and I regularly get directions with 15-20 min walking.

You might be on to something.

It's almost like people have different taste in food!

It's also kind of a wild take "I have nearly zero experience in <thing from other culture> and I don't understand why people from that culture enjoy it"

Re price and prep

First, it's quite difficult to make. Try it, lol.. but by your admission you haven't had anything decent.

Second - in Japan, Ramen is mostly pretty cheap, a lot of places have a vending machine where you pay for a bowl and get a ticket with an order number. It's really not a fancy or pricey experience unless you're somewhere upmarket.

Australia is US$350-$400

In Australia you have "electorates" which are areas of roughly 100k pax. Each electorate gets one representative in parliament. Omitting some finer detail here.

Then by contrast the senate: each state gets 12 senators regardless of population.

They're applying misdirection so that we use their secret-sauce agentic framework, but like a black box and without seeing any of the internal reasoning patterns, cause that would give it away.

That's a deal-breaker for me. I need as much observability and control over my development workflow as possible; that's part of my secret sauce.

Isn't that sitch just because employers get volume discounts?

isn't that the most free market thing ever?

AI mandate is one of the best things that's happened to me. It's the easiest metric to game in the world.

At one point my boss asked why my AI usage was lower than other team members. I instantly knew what to do. Every session is now run at ultracode effort. My automated PR review bot averages like $80 in usage per PR review.

You can't prove your free-market theory because it's not falsifiable.

This is why arguments about this go in circles. You either argue from a pure theoretic POV back and forth, or you go off data - at which point, bringing up every failure of free markets (like, obviously, US healthcare) is dismissed as "not really a free market"

Even the theoreticians on the free-market side are far less solid than.. all the other sides (behavioural economics, information asymmetry.. even Marx) but I regard it as deeply unpragmatic when there's so much data out there indicating what actually happens in the real world when you go one way or the other.

publishing houses will gatekeep for well-selling fiction and non-fiction.

Friendo, this is an anti-benchmark to figure out which AI is more likely to kill you.

If you point both at some github issues you can gauge their relative ability to solve problems.

You don't, the app runs on a user-supplied device. They should secure the part that runs on the car and consider the interface between the app and the api to be a user interface.

I think different guy but this is really cool too :)

I'm desperately trying to avoid nudging the AI and mopping up after it :-)

Also to deal with my own weakness, executive dysfunction

Creating experimental tooling. I don't think it's totally possible without the models improving (I miss Fable already) but you can shift the process a bit. With Claude/Opus at least, saying to "re-derive" a document is a magic phrase that carries meaning for Claude to think about totally re-doing a document.

All you need at that point is a blurb about making sure it's conceptually organised but I haven't found a neat way to express this. Kind of like refactored well-structured code is smaller than spaghetti.

I've read more than a handful of AI-generated articles on HN recently. The last one even had a fake author with a fake face. despite the site insisting it had human editors and reviews. The web property was created by a marketing/AI agency from (AFAIK) a European country with zero employees credentialed to edit hard science news articles, also zero employees with English names and faces like the supposed author.

The interslop is real. Simulacra and simulation.
