So technically speaking, even coding harnesses like Claude and the like are just one simple instruction:

1. Do this instruction (instruction #1, while a halting state is not fulfilled (for example, 50 iterations have not been fulfilled)).

----

Imagine that, even the coding harness is commodified lol. It's truly just one instruction. Woah. So there is no real objectively good coding harness, all placebo.

Keep doing it until ...

Which describes a lot of my career. I was this machine once, and many times, many people told me to keep working on it, usually because .... what else can they tell me? I'm the machine, they are the prompter. They just prompt prompt prompt, like a slave master.

So if an entire universe of software got built by masters that said keep working on it, then in effect, they figured out the ultimate algorithm:

The loop:

1. Procure something that will work for you

2. Tell it how it should work for you

3. Tell it to go back to step 2.

Which is master and slave. So that is the final algorithm.

Edit:

P.S:

The author stole this concept from someone on HN, heh.

The models are fine tuned to disallow continuous coding regardless of harness.

Basically, I want an employee that just codes for 8 hours straight but these coding harnesses keep trying to stop this for some reason.

Can this be used for account recovery?

Oh yeah? I’d be super interested in creating Discord for them if that’s the case. My observation has been that HN is exceedingly hostile to anything God related.

Nice profile :)

I was curious about who were some serious Christian programmers throughout history and thought I’d share this finding. Didn’t expect to meet a fellow believer! We’re probably a small group here on HN.

This is probably a lot more related to the fact they want to make GPUs an asset class. Nvidia is banking on the fact there will be an entire market that will guarantee whatever anyone needs.
