"animal crossing-style" is a bit of a stretch

so how would you eval your own claude.md? Each context is unique to the project, team, and personal root claude.md. Do you just take given task and ask it to redo the same one over and over again against a known solution? Do you just keep using it and "feel" whether or not it's working? How is that different from what everyone is already doing?

this is also easily gameable. Any language can easily be converted into a single LOC

Did anyone actually believe she was CEO?

$25k? What about when Honda Civics were $15k???

Is it just me, or is vibe coding only useful for greenfield projects that have minimal complexity? Seems like they collapse once enough complexity has built up.

I'm someone who hated leetcode style interviews for the longest, but I'm starting to come around on them. I get that these style of questions are easy to game, but I still think they have _some_ value. The point of these style of questions was supposed to test your ability to problem solve and come up with a good solution given the tools you knew. That being said, I don't think every company should be using this type of question for their interviews. I think leetcode style questions should be reserved for companies that are pushing the boundary of the industry since they're exploring charted territory and need people who can come up with unique solutions to problems no one really knows. I think most companies would be fine with some kind of pairing problem since most people are probably solving engineering problems instead of computer science problems. But none of this matters, since, we all know that even if we went that direction as an industry, the business people would fuck it up some how anyways.

I don't know about anyone else, but ads on google don't even concern me as a consumer anymore since search results have more or less become useless click-farms. I use google almost exclusively to search either reddit or stack overflow, and even the results don't seem to hit the way they used to.

New comment by hamuraijack in "Tell HN: We Need Robots.txt but for AI"

hamuraijack — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 14:50:12 +0000

I think the difference is speed and throughput. When a human digests writing or artwork, even to produce derivative work, it's on the scale of hours, if not days. In the time that a human can produce 1 replica, an AI can produce thousands of works and deliver them to an audience of millions. And through the sheer network effect of the internet, it'll be impossible to remove any of these works, as they'll be replicated and reposted over and over again.

I think you touch on a good point. I think, like the automation of other skilled labor, the first jobs to be affected are the low-hanging fruit jobs. The ones where they just need something good enough. While I think tools like these will decrease the total number of jobs, I think the jobs left over will be ones that artists will enjoy more, as they will require more creativity than just writing a prompt.

That's the problem. The already loud echo chamber will just become louder and more consolidated. Misinformation doesn't just come from bots.

hamuraijack — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 13:31:45 +0000

If you're trying to build a tool to help deepen connections, it shouldn't be around sharing things that you do. We've tried that model for the last 15 years and it's clearly failed. I think what people crave these days is human connection through interactions. I think the biggest problem with friendships these days is people want friends without all the work that goes with it.

New comment by hamuraijack in "Ask HN: Apple maps vs. Google maps today?"

hamuraijack — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 14:42:27 +0000

I use Apple Maps for 99% of my needs. I only use it as a driving aid and don't really care about cartographic accuracy. I prefer the directions Apple Maps give since they seem to use less complex routes. I really dislike how Google Maps will use tiny side roads that are impossible to find and exit, just because it's 1 minute faster. Most of the time, I lose that benefit because those side roads are not easy to navigate.
