Easy peasy:

Communities = commies

You’re welcome.

Oh I see! Thanks. I thought that they deliberately rejected your patch. But it was more about the red tape getting in the way. Yeah, that sounds frustrating.

Why didn’t your patch get merged?

What are you implying? That there will be a catastrophic galactic collision?

Because that’s not happening. Look it up.

Hehe sorry, don’t mind me.

I still have my reservations, but I’ve changed my mind about “vibe coding”.

Juniors vibe coding? Awful idea. It stunts learning. Non-programmers vibe coding? Aside from small scripts, anything exposed to the internet is a dangerous thing.

Experienced programmers who already know what they’re doing? Code assistants can be a bliss for tired fingers and wrists.

Is this answer generated? It doesn’t say anything OP didn’t address already.

Yeah, “infinite power” is waaaaaay too much power. Unless OP refers free, uninterrupted power that covers any necessity humanity will ever need, without damaging the environment. This is infinitily less power than infinite power.

I believe this can happen, though not in my lifetime.

Shit, I wonder if something similar will happen with AI.

“Remember the time when running AI required at the very least a very powerful computer running one or more GPUs at 100% capacity? Or entire datacenters costing millions of dollars per month? Crazy, right? Today you just tap your watch with a local AGI, using a couple of CR-2032 batteries that last 6 months, and you can ask it to create a multi-week vacation plan around the Caribbean in mere seconds.”

Hm, I guess you’re technically correct, but going so far back to middle school is like saying that “Santa is being sold as reality” because we thought that he was real at that age.

It’s a cool coincidence, though.

I mean, come on. The region called after the constellation with the north star, which aids with finding where the north pole is, has polar bears. Nice!

Or Newfoundland.

“Top” and “Bottom”.

You probably know this, but aside from that, Claude has “plan mode”. When writing, hit “Shift+Tab” a few times until you select it. Claude won’t immediately start coding when you give it instructions.

Also, ask him about the "superpowers* and “ask questions” skills. Game changers too.

It depends on how it’s executed.

If it’s sold as true satire or fiction, I’m in. WWE, John Wick, Rocky III.

If it’s sold as reality, yeah, it’s garbage.

Edit: though I just read the fucking article and what these fuckers did is inexcusable. And those who watch this, yup, you’re right. Garbage.

Do you tell Claude to make a plan first?

That helps me tremendously. Whenever something needs to be modified, I tell it to update the plan first, and to stick to the plan.

That way, Claude doesn’t rewrite code that has already been implemented as part of the plan.

And understanding the plan helps understanding the code.

Sometimes if I know there will be a lot of code produced, I’ll tell it to add a quick comment on every piece it adds or modifies with a reference to the step in the plan it refers to. Makes code reviewing much more pleasant and easier to follow. And the bugs and hallucinations stick out more too.

Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one.

Nice! Thanks for your answer.

Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice!

Thanks for the links.

Well, that’s disappointing.
