Fable's ridiculous. It's flagging basic biology research questions as a security risk. I'm talking basic fundamental genetics topics that make working on any genetics-adjacent code…

As a workarond, I have noticed that a better estimate of time is number of sessions required to fully implement, review, and test a given feature. You can ask the LLM to help you e…

As someone with ADHD, it’s a lot more nuanced than that. Coding agents can remove task paralysis, but they also introduce many other distractions. Being one prompt away from zero t…

Glad you find it useful!

Hi HN, I built this for myself because I wanted my coding agent (Claude Code) to actually be able to use my Obsidian vault as a knowledge base, not just grep it. The use I get the …

This is standard macro photography. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/related/e56465d1-86b9-3a3...

You take multiple pictures at different focal points and combining together computationally because the depth of field at the magnification is very shallow. The resulting image loo…

Did Claude come up with the name? I noticed that it loves to suggest “engram” as a name for projects. There’s also a ton of “engram” repos on github in recent months.

I have a couple in my global CLAUDE.md I really like, but they tend to be rather specific to my own usage patterns: 1. I call it the "Table Flip Rule" because naming rules helps wi…

So the solution is to work over a bucket of dry ice! ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

Not much, the main cost is having Claude write notes as we work, which isn't too different from what it does anyway with Plan mode, and it helps me onboard new sessions more easily…

It's nothing too fancy - I use Obsidian as a memory layer for both agents and myself. I keep a daily programming journal, and ask agents to update it as we work. I often have to nu…

Nice! I rely on Obsidian a lot for syncing knowledge while working with Claude agents, such as storing research and daily logs to catch up on the prior day’s work. It already works…

While I agree with a lot of what this post says, to play devil's advocate for a moment, It's natural that skills we no longer need should be phased out. We should take this as an o…

One of the references: “Oolong tea extract as a substitute for uranyl acetate in staining of ultrathin sections”

I think that a major driver of these kinds of incidents is pushing the "memory" feature, without any kind of arbitrage. It is easy to see how eerily uncanny a model can get when it…

This looks nice, but it is just placing some pre-defined vector files. I wonder if it could be possible to procedurally generate realistic coffee stains.

Btw, claude code is a lot better at graphviz than mermaid! I have been using it a lot for architecture designs.

I haven’t used it, but from looking at Marimo’s examples and docs, I’m not convinced by some of its design choices. The idea that you can run notebook cells out of order is suppose…

Regarding copy-paste, I’ve been thinking the LLM could control a headless Neovim instance instead. It might take some specialized reinforcement learning to get a model that actuall…

I’ve tried this approach when working in chat interfaces (as opposed to IDEs), but I often find it tricky to review diffs without the full context of the codebase. That said, your …

It looks to me like it’s regurgitating training data. The biggest success I ever had with drawing ascii art was with the GPT 4.1 model a while back.

My experience with parallel agents is that the bottleneck is not how fast we can produce code but the speed at which we can review it and context switch. Realistically, I don’t thi…

It’s a similar idea, but imagine you could fire off a task, and go for a run, or do the dishes. Then be notified when it completes, and have the option to review the changes, or se…

I think one key reason HUDs haven’t taken off more broadly is the fundamental limitation of our current display medium - computer screens and mobile devices are terrible at providi…
