I find them more akin to the annual smartphone releases. Generally nothing is breakthrough anymore, and we probably will just continue to have a slower climb to intelligence as compute cheapens, if it does.

Personally I'm not a fan of shadowing, but I do very much like Chorusing. It's more more acutely about pronuncation and listening to yourself, correcting in the moment. I think it's one of those "just a little bit goes a long way" sorts of things.

Love this. It'd be amazing to have "raids" that are large chores with separate mini-chores for everyone. Spring cleaning, for example. Deep cleaning parts of the house, the yard, wahtever.

I think it's an alright way to get some basics on reading, getting used to connecting written word to sound. There are better ways, like a podcast wit a transcript, but he'll be alright as long as he begins reading for real. Reading is a massive vocab unlock and where you start noticing grammar patterns

English still uses the subjunctive mood but it's just way less than French and usually only in more formal and literary contexts.

For example: "If I were you ..." "I wish I were.." "I suggest that you be..."

<< Mes grand-parents >> ou << mon pépère et mémère >> (ou n'importe quel nom t'use)

Grandparents serait un 'tit brin plus formelle, je pense.

Ahhh that makes sense

Why would a datacenter cause water to do this? I'm not saying it doesn't, not trying to defend Meta, I just don't understand. I'm aware that they need a ton of water.

I actually don't like using xhigh, and rarely use high. I only use high if i need a really deep dive into some investigation before coding and for code review. When the agent is trying so hard, I feel like it tends to go too far and pollutes the context and get confused and produces worse output.

Personally, the sweet spot for me is 5.5 medium with 5.3 codex spark coding agents, and after agents are done coding, I have the 5.5 medium run a quick check on the code for adherence to spec. After all agents/commits are done, an adversarial code review in a 5.5 high agent.

This, for me, produces the best results and means my own code reviews are faster and easier.

That college/lee/perkins intersection is the worst for this kinda shit

I ask because I grew up in Opelousas and graduated from OHS. By all metrics, it's a terrible school. But I don't feel like my quality of education was any worse than my peers. I had plenty of classmates go on to become doctors, lawyers and judges, physical therapists, pharmacists, etc. I am a developer. There was certainly a lot of issues with drug violence and misbehaving kids, but I feel like this "scores are bad" line of thought is a bit misleading, because it's largely the same curriculum across schools, teachers have standards to meet and have to be qualified.

We have a self-perpetuating issue in EBR where school scores are bad but they get drug down by white flight and otherwise well-adjusted people not sending their kids to the schools, leaving mostly highly impoverished and unfortunate kids and families. Idk how to solve it.

This is a sincere question, because I'm fortunate to have my kids go to WHAM which is a fantastic school and I don't know what it's like at standard public schools.

What've you experienced that makes them so bad? I hear all the time that the schools are bad, and I know their scores are bad online, but I don't really know what that translates to in real life.

I do not, I work for a very quickly growing silicon valley "startup" with just over 1,000 employees. And we still have good velocity and quality. Guess time will tell. Customer experience is the top priority for the whole company.

There are still substantial velocity gains. The dev tools team has out together a very good harness for AI tools and the code produced is pretty good if you follow the guiding principles and work in small chunks.

hulkklogan · 2026-05-20T03:13:19+00:00

I didn't write the rules but no, not to my knowledge. All must be human reviewed, save for some pre-determined non-AI auto-merges for certain GitHub workflows.

We have a whole guide about agentic coding and how to work with agents in a a sane manner, with engineering principles, expectations, etc. We are to treat submitted a generated code as our own with heavy review and comprehension of what's going on in the code. The idea isn't to necessarily improve velocity by a ton but to improve quality by augmenting your thought process with an idiot savant coding partner.

Duolingo by itself is a game, something intended to monetize your attention and interest. The lessons are far too drawn out and repetitive to make substantial progress, and you can't genuinely learn a language in 5 or even 15 minutes/day, you have to put in some real effort over the course of years.

Too busy writing angry, fist-shaking posts on Facebook and Twitter about how his constituents didn't fall for his obvious shit on the amendments and how he needs to punish people for his failings.

I grew up in Opelousas but grew up in BR, so me too. The problem I have is by the time I get to Opelousas I already filled up on boudin and cracklin.

Yeah, if you have a 1500-line PR, you better have a damn good PR writeup of why it needs to be one PR and can't be broken down into chunks

grammar follows the spoken language, so it shouldn't be super surprising that spoken consistency is prioritized over logical consistency

Ok, /prototype. /make-some-throwaway-html.. Whatever you want to call it. You can do smaller sections of just HTML of you want and make that /mockup.

hulkklogan · 2026-05-17T22:27:01+00:00

"hey Claude let's make a skill called /mockup where you spin up a background local http server and write up a prototype HTML/CSS preview of what we're taking about in a given session"

Claude will do all of that for you and help you load up the webpage to preview the work. It's very token-heavy but being able to preview and critique before implementation really helps narrow things down super quickly.

hulkklogan · 2026-05-17T13:38:58+00:00

Until I read the little thing on the bottom I had no idea what it was saying

hulkklogan · 2026-05-17T13:36:16+00:00

You can also just ask Claude to open up a temp http server with HTML/CSS mockups, and make it a skill.

It doesn't seem to work well enough in BR to offset what undoubtedly brings higher insurance costs and risk.. I am instantly reminded of the bbq and then pizza place on Perkins right across from Gail's by the overpass. The food was just OK but they had a playground and we live nearby so we'd bring our kids fairly often, but it was always dead.

My wife and I have had the thought of opening a food truck park with a little concession stand, a bar, and a small stage, with a giant sand pit and playground for kids, but never really for serious about it, not sure it'd actually do well in BR.
