On the other hand, comment trees encourage shallow content highjacking the top comment thread with little to no regard for preceding comments.
Well, most platforms operate primarily as an algorithmic scroll based feed, and the actual utilities (like event planning, or marketplace) are related to second class citizens – used mostly as a hook to get you to stay…
I actually use this line of reasoning to motivate and inspire some of my own art and cultural artifacts. When a far future galactic civilization pauses to ask, “who are we and where did we come from“, they might just…
Music was already worthless. Here's Deadmau5 giving advice to aspiring producers in 2012: > You need to make a world. So you have a rollercoaster in your backyard. And it’ll be the hot thing in the neighborhood for…
I got addicted to scrolling content on my phone, so I built a digital pet whose growth and well-being depends on you staying off your phone! This way, if I spend all night scrolling the browser, my pet will get…
Project: Hail Mary, a fantasy world where geopolitics are trivially simple and every state in the world collectively agrees how great it would be to cede power and work together. (And therefore enable a genuinely fun…
Arguing with an LLM is silly because you’re dealing with two adversarial effects at once: - As the context window grows the LLM will become less intelligent [1] - Once your conversation takes a bad turn, you have…
Text is an LLMs input and output, but, under the hood, the transformer network is capable of far more than mere re-assembly and remix of text. Transformers can approximate turing completeness as their size scales, and…
Perhaps consider that I still think coding by prompting is just another layer of abstraction on top of coding. I'm my mind, writing the prompt that generates the code is somewhat analogous to writing the code that…

I like to keep a personal recipe book of prompt modifiers. For bash scripting I often write my prompt and then copy-paste the following to prompt: ``` When making edits to the script, ensure the script remains -…
CSS or Tailwind has always been a tough one for me. I have banks of flashcards to help me remember stuff, (align-items, justify-content, grid-template-columns, etc.). Even with all that effort and many projects of…
From my experience, (and to borrow terminology from a HN thread not long ago), I've found that once a chat goes bad, your context is "poisoned"; It's auto completing from previous text that is nonsense, so, further text…
I think the magic is often in how you prompt. The best written art I've gotten from Claude was after a very extended dialogue; eventually, in the same context window, I prompted for an essay, framed by a short poem. The…
There is a Sci-Fi Noir TV show "Altered Carbon" (based on a book) featuring an AI using Edgar Allan Poe as their persona. That Edgar Allan Poe is seminal in both genres makes me appreciate an already amazing character…
High score: 50060 The biggest part of my strategy is to do a lot of stutter steps/dash dancing to try and collect the power up as close to the ghost as possible. Doing so is more likely to lead to a sort of "combo"…
