> Not taste. Not quality. Presence.

Ugh. Ironic that this blog post lambasting the use of machines to achieve inhuman levels of perfection is so clearly ai slop brained. This is far from the only LLM idiom I saw in here.

Isn't this missing a major seeking point of the scheme? I'm pretty sure I've read about this, and putting the panels over water makes them run colder, which makes them marginally more efficient than if they were in a field. Good for the water AND the panels.

When my sessions get long - in any AI context, not just vibe coding - I do find it starts "getting weird, man!" This is a good philosophy to have.

i really like Gemini Google home. The old software felt lobotomized by comparison.

Carbonara was invented at least 3 decades after the American hamburger. When your cuisine is no more traditional or ancient than a burger, you should probably rethink your snobbery.

Granted, when I (out of pure curiosity) ordered and bit into a rubbery charred puck of a hamburger at a restaurant in Rome, I felt similarly violated. The "American sauce" it was served with provided a good laugh. But I shudder to imagine that this is what the Italians think we eat like. Perhaps their indignation is similar.

This is either a chuffed up PR move or an extremely generous alpha fold "publish all the proteins" moment

Wasting time making games on my TI84 in the back of middle school geometry taught me how to program.

A link to the HN discussion from when this was already posted here 6 months ago, possibly to be helpful, but also possibly as an attempt to admonish others for not knowing this is a repost.

I'm okay with downloading your app provided it's actually good and does something substantially better than a website could do. I'm talking seamless mobile UI, use of mobile features like gps or nfc, or easier/better security and authentication.

However, I don't want your bloated or minimum effort dog-shit app just to watch a movie on a plane, browse a site like Reddit, order a pizza, read a news article/blog, or shop at your specific online store. I will begrudgingly download it if I must, but I'll hate you for it.

This whole post looks like slop. Misspelled label in the 1st image. "4rd"?

They'll pry mine from my cold dead hands!

I remember a scene in this show which felt like many real meetings I've had in my life. The big hot shot CEO guy pulls everyone into a meeting to share his big idea. The idea? Let's sell a computer that's "twice the speed, half the price!"

...The engineer then rolls his eyes like "yeah no duh". If we could just magically do stuff like that, we would have done it already. Classic management thinking they have an original idea with no understanding of the engineering beneath it all. I thought they would just tell him off and that would be it. I really felt seen in that moment.

The frustrating thing is, they then take pointy haired boss's idea seriously. The rest of the season is spent actually pursuing that dumb, dumb idea... This felt disrespectful, and I stopped watching.

> In several cases, memories of the old heart’s host seem to become accessible to the recipient ^2.

That does not seem at all to be what citation 2 is saying.

Could you maybe have your harness limit the memory of Claude and then occasionally, when Claude specifically asks for it ("i need to remember something"), you can give Claude the full game history? Most turns, I'll bet it's okay to have a short context and maybe some notes. And then maybe once in a while it's nice to see the full chat history. Wdyt?
