Sure, and I have a bridge to sell you. Or alternately refer you to the inevitability of Goodhart's law.

There was a code reviewer starting with M before Critique iirc (Mondrian I wanna say?). The M code reviewer was completely written in Python iirc.

At some point you have to wonder if there's some manipulation going on? Do 100s of bots buy and sell these stocks at specific times to keep the price up? Maybe there's an institutional investor or few who secretly back Elon and are part of a scheme?

A bit speculative reply but would appreciate if anybody links any such analysis'/investigations.

From my limited knowledge, I know people have been shorting Tesla based on fundamentals for a while now but haven't been successful.

You can go back by the year. Though I ended up hitting another roadblock down the road yesterday. So, I am currently waiting a couple of weeks for the flow to be functional.

We are able to cleanly separate facts from non-facts (for the most part). This is what LLM are trying to replicate now.

Maybe you are a games developer and are overlooking the fact that people have to first learn the basic apis/models/etc. of graphical systems, engines, etc. before using them. Not sure how you are saying that it wouldn't take a few weeks to code even a simple production game like chess or more complicated but still simple Jump king etc.

Just think of the speciality in which you aren't an expert, javascript/storage/networking ...

What is the contradiction? I am guessing it will take me a non-significant effort to learn game mechanics and code them etc.

> What I like about this post is that it highlights something a lot of devs gloss over: the coding part of game development was never really the bottleneck. A solo developer can crank out mechanics pretty quickly, with or without AI.

This is not true at all. I have never worked on games and it will take me quite a while (even months) to write a "basic" game. While I know a lot of good practices about software development and decade+ of FAANG experience, I don't know the intricacies or even the basics of game development.

I recently experienced this for a different usecase. As an experienced backend developer, I wanted to automate some javascript/browser stuff. I tried on my own for 2-3 days and had couple of prototypes but nothing actually worked. I spent 2 hours with an AI and I had a working solution. We even iterated together quickly and solved some runtime issues and the solution is working for me seamlessly now.

So, I definitely see value of AI even for coding for experienced developers like myself.

> Almost nobody sets prices manually. You either use Airbnb's pricing algorithm, or one from a third party. Either way it's set automatically based on local occupancy rates/hotel prices/etc.

This seems pretty undesirable. Very easy for Airbnb/third party to increase prices even without demand just to increase their prices.

We recently saw a similar price fixing lawsuit for renters. Landlords, co-ordinating together, ended up increasing prices of Condos across major American cities (via means of a third party). The consumer ends up paying unnecessarily high prices in an inelastic market.

Could you anonymize and share your last 5-10 prompts? Just wanna understand how people are using Claude Code.

lol hyperbole much.

I have been texting from my laptop from 2010 via Google Voice.

What are the property crimes in SF/Bay Area? Just curious.

For a lot of these changes, you need a motivated and engaged enforcer/system-owner who will work through these challenges. It takes time and effort to change the culture of a group. I can't imagine someone wanting to change unless they either gain a strong motivation (highly unlikely given that they have been in the current condition for a while themselves) or they are given the right framework/setup by someone else (govt. in this case). So, this is a hard problem and one shouldn't get disheartened due to no progress so far.

Maybe you were technically right for some small scope of the problem, no proper industry definition of GC was supported by C++ by any of the major compiler. So, the HPC scientists were right imo.

Being technically right for an aspect that doesn't matter is a common trope that a lot of software engineers fall for.
