Super cool!

I'm an AI-assisted coder myself...but one thing I can't stand is the way Claude writes. It's so frustrating and cringe. Tells from the README:

emdash, byte-exact, "The full engineering log", piggybacks, "none of this is possible without it", etc

A remedy I've found for this is in my Claude.md to tell it: write like a mix of simple english wikipedia, mr. rogers and ernest hemingway.

What are you learning if you just let the AI do everything for you?

One'll learn what is possible, how things work, etc. you sound more like a bitter veteran than a curious child and this attitude is not helpful.

One can do that without posting it to a public GitHub repository, and then posting it to HN and wasting everyone else's time with it.

I feel like this question was not asked in good faith. We should be supportive of creative endeavours and exploratory coding in the spirit of learning.

How to get things done with prompts, for one ; a skill that's looking increasingly useful as time goes on.

Of all of ai's crimes, the greatest is bringing down the em-dash, the king of punctuation. Commas, periods, even semicolons can never hold a candle to the flexibility of the em-dash. But we must fold in the eyes of inflexible, unloving philistines.

You could say this about 99% of articles posted here. One might even say VCs are in the business of wasting peoples' time.

But, my time is not wasted, and my cortisol managed not to spike at the presence of a tool. I suggest therapy or meditation or some way to mediate the stress of interacting with reality.

If you're interested in HDMI audio, I have code for that lying around. The current best Rust source is in [1], but I also have a local branch with hand-tuned asm for the terc4 encoding. It's maybe 25% faster, which might be significant, as the per-scanline CPU load does go up a fair amount.

I'm a big fan of semicolons; they don't get used enough.

For me - I forgive an em-dash, but it does make me more skeptical of the other tells of AI-written text. If I start to see those other tells I do start to get a bit annoyed.

Recently it seems these old game port posts show up on the HN front page quite often. Very cool, but I'm not sure about the copyright issues.

Copyright isn't an issue because these ports never contain the actual assets from the games. You usually have to provide your own ROM "ripped from your own copy of the cartridge" (wink wink nudge nudge)
