You sound like you've explored at least a few options in this space. Have you looked at https://agones.dev/ ?

Your post made me curious to try a problem I have been coming back to ever since ChatGPT was first released: https://open.kattis.com/problems/low

I have had no success using LLM's to solve this particular problem until trying Gemini 3 just now despite solutions to it existing in the training data. This has been my personal litmus test for testing out LLM programming capabilities and a model finally passed.

Any chance we could get a poll on changing the default swap strategy as documented in the quirks page? https://htmx.org/quirks/#the-default-swap-strategy-is-innerh...

Just went to the comments searching for a comment like yours and I'm surprised it seems to be the only one calling this out. My take on this is also that "Skills" is just detailed documentation, which like you correctly point out, basically never exist for any project. Maybe LLM skills will be the thing that finally makes us all write detailed documentation but I kind of doubt it.

> we can so readily afford better

Can we really? All the reporting on climate change definitely has me thinking otherwise. There are options more respectful to our planet than digging tunnels like for example planting trees to help mediate temperatures.

While I agree with you in principle give Claude 4 a try on something like: https://open.kattis.com/problems/low . I would expect this to have been included in the training material as well as solutions found on Github. I've tried providing the problem description and asking Claude Sonnet 4 to solve it and so far it hasn't been successful.

Just remembered some more details. The speaker covers the difference in applying something akin to the scientific method vs jumping to conclusions based on previous encounters of the same/similar issues.

Ask HN: Help me find a conference talk on hiring/debugging mindset

rbjorklin — Tue, 20 May 2025 20:04:24 +0000

At some point in the last 2 years I came across a conference talk, possibly on Youtube, where the speaker talked about hiring for mindsets rather than skills. If I recall correctly the speaker had some relatively well formulated questions for how to identify a person with a good debugging/troubleshooting mindset. I only vaguely remember the talk at this point so you'll have to excuse the fuzzy description.

Does anyone have some hard numbers on the expected performance uplift when using GADTs? Couldn't see any mentioned in the article.

rbjorklin — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 00:15:15 +0000

I also think he's mostly right but even solved problems can still see much improvement. Take for example algorithmic improvements to improve speed or reduce memory requirements. Then there's also massive power usage improvements to be had by re-implementing existing solutions using more efficient languages [1].
