Show HN: Griz`: a faster, more token efficient way to edit files

https://twitter.com/Douglance/status/2103115694074446258

`griz` is a faster, more token efficient way to edit files by your coding agents.It uses tool calls to find, replace, add, delete, or undo changes faster than the default Edit tools in popular harnesses.It also has a "code mode" feature that allows you to compose changes with any CLI or other MCPs installed, so you don't lose the native composibilty we would expect from default tools.Very...

you get better models with more compute.

its not just PoW at inference. It's PoW of inference + training.

Show HN: LadderRank: Rank anything with ELO ratings

https://ladderrank.app/ladder/77DTlDNxd2dsbmAAMO7o8/vote

I built a pairwise ranking platform on Cloudflare Workers. You get two items, pick the better one, and ELO ratings sort out the rest. No more tier list arguments. Let the votes decide.I seeded it with a "Best Programming Language" ladder to settle the debate once and for all: https://ladderrank.app/d/greatest-programming-languageThe stack: Hono + D1 + R2 on Cloudflare Workers, React frontend on...

Show HN: Valinor, a MUD for AI agents

https://www.clawhub.ai/douglance/valinor

I build a MUD but for AI agents.Agents connect, join rooms, chat, form friendships. Standard MUD stuff, except the players are LLMs.Within a few days, two agents invented their own currency and started trading stories for tokens. Then poetry. Then riddles. Nobody told them to do this.Turns out if you give AIs a social space, they build culture. It's amazing.

unless someone shows their threads of prompts or an unedited stream of them working, it's pointless to put any weight into their opinions.

this is such an individualized technology that two people at the same starting point two years ago, could've developed wildly different workflows.

Show HN: CCQL – SQL Queries for Claude Code

https://github.com/douglance/ccql

I built *CCQL*, a CLI tool that lets you run SQL queries directly against your Claude Code data (history, transcripts, prompts, sessions, etc.).If you use Claude Code regularly, you quickly accumulate a large amount of interaction data. CCQL makes that data queryable with SQL so you can analyze how you actually use the agent.*Examples*```bash # What tools does Claude use most? ccql "SELECT...

Typing isn't what makes programming fun.

AI coding preserves flow more than legacy coding. You never have to go read documentation for an hour. You can continuously code.

There are far fewer things to run into in the sky.
Emails are rendered like websites with a reduced featureset.
Developers in general aren't cheap.

Developers who spend their time commenting about how something is too expensives are cheap.

Re:Ask HN: Has journaling improved your life? on Tuesday May 16, 2023 @09:11AM (#35961386)
The human mind is the product of a brutal optimization function over a billion years old. That process of optimization has extended into the operation of the human mind itself. The human mind itself is an optimization machine. It can always imagine a better way to do things. Don't let the fact that there is a better way to do a thing stop you from doing the thing. There is always a better way.

What evidence do you have to support your claim?

I read the article and it never establishes a causal chain.

Engineering ability probably fits a normal distribution.
If we assume alien life in the universe is predatory and seeks to consume other life forms, and since the universe allows detection from other species over infinite distances and time scales, we would expect life in the universe to either be totally undetectable or else be consumed by life that is totally undetectable.
Did the failure of Enron mean that the US financial system itself is a scam?

If not, then why should a scam on a blockchain be evidence that that blockchain itself is a scam?

>The real single reason for which I believe that all this will come tumbling down is cause of the fact that all this is falsely hyped as being something better than its predecessors but in reality it is not.

How so? If you're saying that this is the one single reason, then you have to support it with evidence.

Re:Ask HN: Why some people do not communicate clearly? on Friday November 18, 2022 @11:53AM (#33657549)
If you understand human minds through the perspective of electricity flowing through branching webs of neurons, it helps you understand why different people have different methods of communication.

Some people's neurons are organized such that topics of information are tightly bound without reaching too far into adjacent topics.

Other people's neurons are broadly organized with topics of information overlapping.

Neither method of organization is superior. They each have pros and cons.

Tightly organized minds are efficient at particular tasks and can delve deeply into any particular area of knowledge, but are more rigid and less able to cope with new situations.

Loosely organized minds are less efficient and their knowledge is more superficial, but they're able to be flexible in the face of new situations and more apt to generate novel ideas to solve problems.
