Is it really that bad of an idea to experiment, put things out into public, and see what works and what sticks? They haven't abandoned agent-browser and portless, which came out of these vercel-labs efforts because they're useful

I had claude write itself a post-message hook that regex's the message for any variant of "You're right" and launch a full-screen transparent confetti effect.

You can only ctrl+o the most recent response, and its a lot worse than knowing the # of lines read or the pattern grepped, which are useful because it can tell you what the agent is thrashing on trying to find, or what context would be usef

WPF was full of footguns and rigid organization to alleviate said footguns. MVVM (Model, View, Viewmodel) architecture was so much boilerplate and toil to work with. It feels like the advent of Electron-based desktop apps caused MS to simpl

Models each have their own, often competing, quirks on how they utilize AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. It's very likely a CLAUDE.md written for use with Claude Code utilizes prompting techniques that results in worse output if taken directly

I recently watched the Jon Bois documentary "Fool Time" which relates the story of the men involved in the development of telegraph lines to the 90s sitcom Home Improvement. It's an excellent watch. https://www.you

DO-178c is not a coding standard, it's a process standard. Projects following DO-178c processes would adopt a coding standard as a part of the process, reviewing software deliverables adhere to those standards.

It's not a fraction of what it would cost to actually employ those humans, since there were humans who clearly chose to do that work when presented with the opportunity. I think this is a very first-world oriented take. It efficiently

If you're going to use claude to help you respond to feedback the least you can do is restate this in your own words. Parent commenter deserves the respect of corresponding with a real human being.

One big use-case is that claude code with sonnet 4.5 will delegate into the cheaper model (configurable) more specific, contextful tasks, and spin up 1-3 sub-agents to do so. This process saves a ton of available context window for your pri

Any grounding in medical truth/ is anything sourced to legitimate references or is this entirely pulled from the model's general training of human anatomy?

Why would you bloat the (already crowded) context window with 27 tools instead of the 2 simplest ones: Save Memory & Search Memory? Or even just search, handling the save process through a listener on a directory of markdown memory file

FWIW Claude code conversations are also durable. You can resume any past conversation in your project. They're stored as jsonl files within your `$HOME/.claude` directory. This retains the actual context (including your prompts, a

The US ran a $1.8T deficit in 2024. That's objectively scarce funds. Even if the UN doesn't drive a significant portion of the spending, they do not serve the people that are going into debt to fund it.
