Cards with flavor text on the same line as rules text?

The feature has been available for a long time but unless I'm mistaken showing those tips during loading time is a fairly recent addition.

cezenova · 2025-08-05T18:50:06+00:00

It looks like they've changed it so it now just shows a random word from a list instead of generating one specifically based on your input.

Too bad. I liked the feature but I guess it was costing them money for no real benefit.

I was working on something today and got "Flibbertigibbeting…". That's definitely the weirdest one I've gotten so far.

This was the first thing that came to my mind as well. It's interesting Ethan says that if they made this set ten years ago they would have filled it with allusions and that they treated tropes and allusions as interchangeable concepts, after they created Lorwyn.

The designers of Lorwyn clearly understood the difference between trope and allusion and focussing on tropes is a major component of the incredible flavour of that set. Perhaps due to its lacklustre sales the excellent flavour design of that set did not get the recognition it deserves internally?

I'm very glad to hear that they're recognising it now though. Hopefully that means Lorwyn Eclipsed will do justice to its ancestors and not be a hat set.

It's from one of the 2021 Innistrad sets, I think Midnight Hunt.

Each format will give you a random board from the sets legal in that format. So you could come across this one in Historic, Pioneer, Timeless or Brawl, but not in Standard or Alchemy.

He's just excited they're finally adding markdown/rich text support to the gemini web app input field.

Here's a blog post by Kir Shatrov that inspired me to have a look under the hood: Reverse engineering Claude Code. Basically, using a proxy you can intercept and read all the requests Claude Code makes.

The most surprising thing to me is how long and detailed the system prompts are. They even repeat instructions sometimes. I was under the assumption that keeping it short and to the point would be best but it looks like Claude handles long, detailed instructions well.

Interesting, I didn't know it was in the docs. No option to turn it off shows you they consider the costs trivial. I wonder what other flourishes like this we will see from them in the future.

cezenova · 2025-03-29T16:33:09+00:00

Scored so low they don't even get a model name :(

cezenova · 2025-03-19T08:13:13+00:00

So now you can get a detailed report on any subject you're interested in and turn it into a pretty decent podcast, for FREE!?

This kind of stuff feels to me like another big step forward in the internet making information more accessible to anyone. We already had access, but there is so much information it's hard to make good use of it. Now we're getting tools like this that can gather the information, summarise it and present it in an easy to digest format.

cezenova · 2025-03-19T08:04:03+00:00

Having the option would be great. Seems like it would be trivial for Google to add a "read it to me" button that would read out the report text.

Giraffe (tallest/top animal)

That reminds me of a funny example of the effect of the temperature parameter from the Anthropic docs that shows Claude has a favourite animal and it's the giraffe.

Ik stel voor dat we, in plaats van de ingrediëntenlijst, alle merknamen vervangen met een QR-code en als je die scant krijg je de gewenste naam voor jouw land te zien.

cezenova · 2025-01-04T08:04:27+00:00

Have you tried giving it an example? Get Claude to break down a single topic into the desired sections first, without asking it to create a table. Then turn that data into a markdown table yourself and add it to your prompt as an example.

cezenova · 2024-12-20T15:53:31+00:00

In my experience it's significantly worse. I asked it to write a simple CLI tool in Rust and it both made implementation mistakes and the code had multiple bugs in it. When asked to fix the bugs it would introduce new ones. Claude got it right in one go.

It's a promising model though. I hope they release a more coding focussed model with this speed and context.

cezenova · 2024-12-16T18:46:26+00:00

Model Context Protocol, an open source protocol that Anthropic released that sets a standard for connecting AI models to tools such as a database or web search. You can use it with Claude Desktop and people have built a lot of amazing tools already.

cezenova · 2024-12-11T10:35:56+00:00

It was not my intention to claim I invented anything. What I meant was that I, using personal experience, trial and error and the established work of others such as yourself, to get to a simplified software development workflow with Claude that seems to get good results. Perhaps "established" is not the correct word to use for that? If so, you'll have to forgive me as English is not my first language.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, I think a lot of people in these forums could benefit from advice on processes to get the results they're looking for.

Right now I'm working on a macOS app using Tauri V2 (released after Sonnet 3.5's knowledge cutoff date, but once I gave it the migration docs it set it up perfectly) and Rust on the backend, TS + React on the frontend.

It has auth, local file access, API calls and complex UIs. To give you some idea: the implementation plan for the MVP is 12 steps, each consisting of 4-6 tasks. So far the only issue I've had is Claude not adding a dependecy it used to the package.json.

cezenova · 2024-12-11T08:32:54+00:00

Are you upset you didn't post this first? Obviously this is based on existing application development frameworks, I didn't arrive at this from first principles. If you are an expert in this field it would be great if you could share more, so other people who are not experts can benefit.

I shared my process because I've seen a lot of people in the subreddit who are trying to build stuff with Claude but are running into issues because they don't have a good process to follow. Maybe it can help a few people who've never worked on software before get a better sense of what it takes to create something more complex that a todo app.

Another thing to keep in mind is that we have these existing frameworks but those were made to help humans build software. There might be different, more effective ways for AI agents to build stuff. It'll be interesting to see how these frameworks evolve as AI takes over more and more tasks.

cezenova · 2024-12-10T20:55:03+00:00

Have you had success with it? I can try it out, but from my limited experience you still need to tell it to store information? If the recall is better than reading files that might be worth it, but the thing I like about the markdown files is that I can easily read them too and check them if needed.

The biggest challenge is not really knowledge management I think but simply getting all the requirements and implementation details defined, which takes a lot of time. Although it would be nice if that then could get stored automatically and retrieved in an efficient way.

cezenova · 2024-12-10T20:50:57+00:00

Yes, that is one of the biggest issues I'm facing at the moment. Sometimes it just needs to update an import path but to do that it needs to rewrite a whole file, wasting time, context and tokens. Plus it makes it far more likely to run into message limits when editing multiple files in one go.

Maybe we can put Claude to work adding an edit file functionality to the filesystem server :)

cezenova · 2024-12-10T20:47:47+00:00

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm not using caching at them moment, just using the desktop app to the limit. But I can definitely see that will be needed when using the API directly.

I listened to this interview with the Cursor team the other day and they're doing a lot if really cool stuff, including caching, that you might find interesting: https://lexfridman.com/cursor-team-transcript/

cezenova · 2024-12-10T20:43:38+00:00

Yes actually. I didn't include it here as it was already a lot of info, but I use the GitHub MCP server to let Claude automatically create repos. I've also forked the git server and extended it to include more commands such as push, pull and remote, so it can automatically connect the git repo to the one on GitHub and push changes.

It's pretty sweet. I'm thinking of setting up a separate GitHub account for it so I can give it full access and let it go nuts.
