> I'm less pessimistic than the author though. There is always room for people who know what they are talking about. Take a deep breath.

But what will their day to day look like? Meetings?

Previously, I'd have to work days undisturbed to get important stuff out of the door. There was effort involved to reach an elegant solution that fit business need.

Now I'm a meat bag pressing enter on a "recommended" option Claude already figured out was the best approach.

How do you handle maintenance of these tools?

isn't `--dangerously-skip-permissions` enough?

the repo is one big joke, of course they should add this

> I cannot imagine lines of code be exhibited in a museum.

Honestly, I can. The author of this article wrote Twisted. I certainly can imagine a museum where computer history is explained along with all the software achievements that made a huge impact on software engineering as a whole, and Twisted would have a place in it.

> or maybe you don't have even an inner monologue

Does this exist?

Also, a new account with only one comment

Yeah I don't think their actions will do anything to change the course of history, but I sure do empathize with them.

We're here breaking record after record for temperatures all around the globe, we're seeing the effects of our industry and resource usage wreaking havoc everywhere. Record droughts. Record melt. Record rainfall. Record storms. And now the most powerful country in the world has a guy in charge who doesn't even care the world is going to shit. And at the same time global fossil fuel emissions are still rising.

It shouldn't come as a surprise some people will channel their feelings to actions trying to change something.

AI datacenters are just the next energy-guzzling target for these people.

you must start foaming at the mouth just thinking about robin hood

Yeah you as a random person online probably know more about the inner working of this random person you reply to in some online forum than they do themselves

Reading the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich as well. For me it is kind of a struggle to read, but at the same time very interesting because he goes into great depths about basically everything.

It's a shame the author seems to have quite a pronounced (and historically irrelevant) distaste for homosexuality.

Have you recently tried working without generating that plan? What I've been doing is first tell the model I want to plan the implementation, talk about it a few turns, then when I'm happy with the idea and method just tell the model to go ahead with the work.

Note that this is only really necessary for complex work that I don't know yet what the best way to do it is.

I've tried doing it your way as well, but there was just too much fiddling about with writing the plan somewhere, then having another session rebuild their context with whatever info is in the plan. It really didn't result in better output for me.

Currently 9 times out of 10 I just say to the model: xyz is the problem/bug/feature, fix it. Since about Fable and Opus 5, this is more than enough. Opus 5.5 (and previously Fable 5.1) got even better at this. However, this is in a codebase where there are already a few hundred thousand lines of code for the model to look at to see how we generally attack things in our codebase.

Claude Codes plan mode I never use anymore, it was useful a few months ago because the models had a tendency to just start doing work and forget I specifically told them not to. But the UX is just annoying and the models now do adhere when I tell them not to change anything.

Your engine explodes when it doesnt have oil.

A printer can still print black when color ink is gone

many of these can also be chalked up to the fact that all of their products are extremely vibed

I really don't get this. Sure there is hype. But LLM's have already changed our industry, and it will never be the same.

I don't care whether the LLM can solve this or that mathematical previously thought unsolvable theorem. What I do care about is can it write good, maintainable code. And every new release of frontier models - they get better at it.

Good output depends on good input (prompt), and a good set of available tools the model can use to verify their work. If given this, nowadays really you need to try to get the model to output garbage.

Can anyone explain to me why the trump administration hates the ICC so much?

This made me shiver

Only reason I used Haiku was when I made Opus 5 run Haiku agents just to rewrite Opus 5's garbage output into something legible

Fable 5 was pretty bad too, but they fixed it with 5.1. Now with Opus 5.5 it seems they fixed it as well

Javascript running in the browser is an amazing tool to learn programming as everything you need is right there in the program that's already installed anyway.

No True Scotsmanning someone over that (especially someone who wants to learn something new) is a bit weird, IMHO

The cause was tractors stopping all traffic on a highway, setting up show with barbecues and what not. Then some people drove into the tail of the traffic jam.

Has nothing to do with driving being dangerous, but with the choices of these farmers to start a demonstration in the middle of a highway

They already did it a few times before, and they were warned that they should expect killing people. The question was not if, but when. They still did it.

Tax was already high on diesel fuels and cars, which is fine. The most recent rise in price is only due to market prices going up.

I personally think forcing less well off people to use worse modes of transport (or not travel at all) is not a well thought out scheme for reducing environmental impact.

For me, it doesn't matter because my main mode of transport is an EV - but it's a luxury I can afford. Many people that live around me cannot.

It just means these people donate more of their money to the wallets of already absurdly rich owners of companies like Shell and Exxon - instead of using it to enrich their own lives (see the increased profits these companies are making since Iran).

But at least on a positive note, EV sales in my country have never been higher since Trump invaded Iran, so it is somewhat triggering the well-off to finally make the ("scary") switch to EV's.

6 dollars per gallon is 1.37 EUR per liter... Here I am in the netherlands paying 2.74 EUR for a liter of diesel...

Why would you use a constrained edit tool when you are also allowed to use the complete power of python?

And it's been a thing wayyyyyy before 3D printers were even a twinkle in some engineers eye

I don't think the person you reply to conflates "information diet" with "tech". They are just saying that their information diet consists for a large part of tech news, and other people have other information diets that don't contain that much tech news..

The description reads like someone asked opus 5 to build this, then asked them to "write a short description of what this is".

> "Skills" as developer macros can be useful, but at most those are things shared with the team (in the repo), not something you download from the internet. If you have so many skills that you feel the need to manage them, that's a code smell.

I have three development machines. You kinda need something like git to keep everyone in sync!

And there's still value in encoding a process in a skill - it's way more token efficient to tell the model what but also HOW to do something. Otherwise, it just spends a lot of tokens figuring out something that they previously did already.
