    Funny, I was really impressed with how concise and goal oriented the directions are! I would have done better in uni if the lab manuals were written like this

    I think they were doing something like this, the tradeoff is that it's hard to do without an irritating number of false positives and/or wasting loads of precious tokens on useless…

    Tangential, but made me think of this YouTube channel I like. I have no plans to own a tractor but for some reason many others and I enjoy videos like this one: https://m.youtube.c…

    Robotics/control systems is exactly what came to mind when I saw this release! What struck me is the possibility of look ahead search in real time, a bit like alphazero's mcts.

    Ymmv, but I have been very happy using classic vim’s “native claude support” :term claude It will also expand special characters so you can do something like :term claude “refactor…

    According to this, notifications are possible if you add the app to the home screen, which I didn't know. A feature more devs should use- I've been surprised how much websites beha…

    fwiw there are more granular controls, where you can for example allow/deny specific bash commands, read or write access to specific files, using a glob syntax: https://code.claude…

    Earlier this year moving home to Canada, instead of flying I bought a van in California and drove it back with all my stuff. I was taken aback to learn my dad did the exact same th…

    They have helped me a lot with chunking tasks, and guiding me through tasks that I can't hold in focus. There's a prompt I used while moving out, where I had claude ask me question…
