After more than a decade of using git, I know that my comfort with rebase, and confidence that I wont make an error I can't undo, comes from knowing that I can always abort. And as…

I like the fact that it ends up being a lifecycle. I know it can have different entry points based on what you ask, and which skill you trigger first, but it inherently is chaining…

I see it as another iteration of the wave that had everyone controlling agents directly from a chat app like slack. It isn't actually a more effective way to reach flow state, exch…

Watching him walk out with UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski as if he were part of his corner, and seeing him continuously, but incorrectly, anticipate that the rest of the men he …

I think you're ascribing too much thought and reason to the people that use that phrase. If anything, its a signal to their ingroup that they are keeping the faith, and proving tha…

The person youre replying to also employed the term TDS in recent comments, which I believe refers to Trump Devotion Syndrome. Muddying waters and making debate impossible are his …

Actually, its just one of the 170k English words we all totally already knew this morning. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48598586

There is most certainly still prompt engineering involved. How there can be both the responsivity to different cues like "plan this", "write this", "analyze this", "defend this", "…

But what about compositions of your reusable blocks an order of magnitude larger than you were ordinarily willing to manually compose? A lot of this misnaming Im circling around co…

This is still an incomplete model, in my opinion. You're still holding up what is possible as a non ai assisted developer as equal to the assisted one in the abstract, before addin…

For months, I've been thinking of how to express or name this idea that people misname the way other people use coding agents and make bad assumptions about what sorts of tasks the…

It isn't reasonable to infer that OP was claiming to have universally been unimpressed about every facet of Fable, and now some unrelated impressiveness is the evidence of their fa…

According to Google, this claim is sourced to a person rather famous for baseless claims, from the founding of companies he owns, to the capabilities of his products, to cash prize…

Yes you do. He came away with that conclusion because he entered with that conclusion. When you're already radicalized to a specific outcome, you lose the ability to perform the pr…

This is because the community around Gamestop is radicalized by the exact same grievance culture behind the MAGA movement. It even started conveniently in January of 2021, at a poi…

I don't believe in the theory, I'm stating that I understand the theory to largely revolve around powerful players manipulating markets, such as robinhood to disallow buying GameSt…

There is too much overlap with the tropes found in communities who want to believe in aliens and interdimensional beings to take the Gamestop saga seriously. So many appeals to emo…

I take from GP that they try to make their branches small, and keep the cycle of development->review->merging small, so that the problem stacked PRs seeks to solve doesn't material…

Stacking branches for any extended period of time is definitely a poor mixing of the concepts of branches and commits. If you have a set of changes you need to keep in order, but y…

I think you're conflating lossy encoding degrading fidelity with the main problem that plagues most audience recordings: the crowd is in the foreground and the band is in the backg…

It does seem like a lot of people have extrapolated the second half of the 20th century to be the baseline expectation from here on out.

Ive found lately that a few sites, including WSJ, archive.ph just hangs on the loading screen. The existence of your link should make it skip the loading, as in understand it. Is t…

Why would you settle for a guide when you can get a claude skill to do it for you? https://github.com/nidhinjs/prompt-master

Here's an agent skill that lets you do similar things: https://skills.sh/remotion-dev/skills/remotion-best-practice... https://www.remotion.dev/docs/ai/claude-code

I think it comes down to the difference between predictions and prescriptions. When a person is predicting how long someone else's work will take, the revelation of their error cau…
