What is a "squat-length string"? I realize this is one of Claude's copy tells (using excessively hyphenated words) but in this case I can't figure out what it means.

I'm curious whether anyone has run into hallucinations with this kind of use of an LLM. They are pretty great at converting data between formats, but I always worry there's a small chance it changes the actual data in the output i

I've used OpenSCAD for a few small projects. The main draw for me is avoiding all the "fiddly mouse stuff". I figure it's a trade-off between simple stuff being more complicated, and complicated stuff being easier to bul

This is a neat idea. I don't know enough about the underlying proof-of-work stuff to comment on how effective this could be, but I think it's pretty funny that the UI examples say "I'm a human". I guess "there&

Good to know, thanks for the explanation!

It's a pity they don't ship to other countries than the US. I looked through their website and saw some fun stuff, but no international shipping.

I'm probably just not thinking through the problem fully, but: Wouldn't this be better solved inside the coding assistants? They're the parent process and should be able to tell when a sub command has hung.

This is incredible, love how much further you've taken it than just the proof of concept as well. This is probably just my opinion, but I kept thinking that a better word for "drive" given the domain would be "clock&quot

I opened this on a mobile device, and it only shows the top and bottom topic buttons. I was pretty confused until I tried turning on "desktop site" in Chrome and saw the left/right buttons. Having only a linear track of topi

What brand of toothpaste do you use for this? I often struggle to find a toothpaste that's SLS-free but still has fluoride.

Doesn't this suffer from similar issues to a pie chart? e.g. https://scc.ms.unimelb.edu.au/resources/data-visualisation-a... I'm kinda suspicious that any data visualization that uses a circle is going to be

That's a great explanation, and pretty much exactly what I'd love to see instead of the original slightly mysterious comment :)

It's a statement that won't make sense to someone who's new to the topic. I don't think it's related to virtue signalling at all, the two just share the word "signalling".

The tone is entertaining, but some of the snarkiness around the code is bit frustrating at times. e.g. > # do i really need to say I'm not serious about this? Can you just come out and say what you mean here? Like, presumably it&#x2

I once inherited a codebase that did this, and it was a nightmare to learn. All the classes were named after types of alcohol for some reason. Naming things clearly is really hard, but this approach is just giving up completely.

> 10GB is hardly enough. Once you import Pandas you’re on the limit. You can forget Pandas and scipy at the same Lambda. This sounds way off to me. 10 GB to install a Python library?

Interesting that most of the top comments here seem to be about the day to day process of estimation itself, when the linked article is about how poorly the research on estimation has been done to date. Did any of you actually read the arti

This is a really nice one! What did you use for the board itself? Is it 3D printed?

Just a guess from the names, but these sound like debug plugins built in by the OpenAI developers, not real unreleased plugins.

Interesting that it seems to have no concept of the filmmakers they tried to include here - Tim Burton and Walt Disney didn't produce anything recognizable and look to me like the default stuff you get without providing a style.

This looks really cool, and I would love to try it out on a hobby project before considering it for something more serious. Are you planning to make some kind of "hobby" tier below the startup pricing at a later date?

These sound like very positive changes! Would you consider going through past years and pre-emptively disqualifying people for their previous spam PRs as well? And is it obvious on the website to someone when they're disqualified? Or d

Do these sterility requirements have an impact on the food safety concerns for the final product? e.g. does the meat end up either completely ruined vs. totally safe to eat raw? Just curious, I have no plans to eat raw cultivated meat :)

Yep - I'm talking about Battlesnake regions though: https://docs.battlesnake.com/references/engine-regions

Are you using the default Battlesnake region? Depending on your location and where your replit ends up hosted, switching regions might reduce your latency a bit.

I think it's just the curve fitting on the chart widget, but I saw one name where the popularity went negative in the 2000's. I didn't recognize the name at all, so I had to laugh seeing that.

What are you using to run the tournament logic? Custom code, or some kind of library?
