#112A ten hour wait doesn't really strike me as a pancake? You should have a "it's 730am, there's four screaming girls, only two of which are related to me, the dogs are begging for scraps, and the demand for pancakes has crossed into Veblen goods territory."
Man, at the rate I can generate pancakes I fear four children would murder me and just drink the batter raw. Though maybe I'd buy a second pan in advance xD
We called drinking the raw batter a “cake shake”.

#113I love the precision of this. I have one daughter who must avoid dairy and egg so we’ve experimented with various substitutes. The “creamy” oat milk works well. For eggs, we’ve found bob’s red mill egg replacer to work great with almost no discernible taste difference. The trick is mixing it with water in a separate little bowl and waiting 2-3 minutes. Too long and it gets overly gelatinous and won’t mix in well but…
Adding a can of coconut milk for your liquids works really well, too. We skip the egg replacement altogether, and it just works.

#114There's a whole lot of "I" in this post for something you didn't do. Why are you taking credit for Claude's work? What makes you feel entitled to say "I did this thing" when Claude did the thing?
Claude is a tool in the hands of the person using it. If you built a cabinet using power tools would you say the drill and saw built the cabinet? Or that you did? I find it irritating when people send me a code review and say that Claude wrote the code. No, you wrote the code, you are responsible for the code. You can't blame Claude if it's crap and you don't have to credit Claude if it's genius. Claude is not a pers…
If Imagen generates a digital painting after my prompt, I didn't make the painting.
I don't want them to say "I wrote it." They're still responsible, but it's helpful to know they weren't deeply involved in its creation.

#115The first picture is of overcooked pancakes. Hard to trust the rest :)

#116The article mentions tang repeatedly as if it's a positive thing. Maybe I don't know what tang is, but shouldn't pancakes be sweet and not tangy?
A lot of people like a sour flavor to contrast with sweet or savory, especially with fermented notes. It's why people like sourdough, cultured butter, yogurt, etc.
Personally I don't love a lot of those things; they taste spoiled to me. But I'm in a minority of "foodies", who find those flavors interesting, and find my preferred versions flat and boring. They are also very traditional flavors; that's how food was preserved before canning and leavened before baking powder and packaged yeast. De gustibus.

Claude is not a single tool like a power drill or saw so I don't feel like this analogy fits well. Claude is more similar to the entire workshop and a robot using the tools and then you telling the robot what to build.
So maybe that cabinet wouldn't exist without the human element but I think it's fair for other humans to feel that's not quite the same as building it yourself.

#118> A flat-flavored pancake is a vehicle for maple syrup.
Isn't this the point of a pancake? To get as much maple syrup into your body as possible?
