Beautiful app. Surprised to see JQuery for your frontend; brings back good old memories.

@jspahrsummers and I have been working on this for the last few months at Anthropic. I am happy to answer any questions people might have.
I'd love to develop some MCP servers, but I just learned that Claude Desktop doesn't support Linux. Are there any good general-purpose MCP clients that I can test against? Do I have to write my own?
(Closest I can find is zed/cody but those aren't really general purpose)
LatticeAnimal commented on Should JavaScript be split into two languages? devclass.com/2024/10/22/s... · Posted by u/em-bee
If this happened then JavaScript would be split into 20+ languages, one for each popular compiler. There would be nothing stopping a tool maker from adding their favorite language features even if no other compiler ever adopted them. That would be a disaster.
In many ways this has already started happening. TS has enums, Svelte has runes, React has jsx. None of these features exist in JS, they are all compile-time syntax sugar.
While it is admittedly confusing to have all these different flavors of JS, I don’t think this proposal is actually as radical as it seems.
LatticeAnimal commented on Splitting engineering teams into defense and offense greptile.com/blog/how-we-... · Posted by u/dakshgupta
Everyone on every team should have something to "own" and feel proud of. You don't "own" anything if you're always on team defense. Following this advice is a sure fire way to have a high churn rate.
From the post:
> At the end of the cycle, we swap.
They swap teams every 2-4 weeks so nobody will always be on team defense.

LatticeAnimal commented on Ask HN: Has degradation in the quality of ChatGPT and Claude been proven? · Posted by u/omega3
+1 on verbosity - it happened when switching from 4t to 4o I think, and personally I don’t like it.
Should be fizable with system prompt though.
Recently gpt-4-turbo started rejecting writing some tests because it 'knows' it would exceed the max context. (This frustrated me deeply -- It would not have exceeded the context)

That's not peak AI yet. Wait until "AI" is a verb (meaning to apply an AI to, or to ask an AI about) and an adjective.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffal... will have a sister article consisting of "AI" only.
AI AI AI AI AI AI.

LatticeAnimal commented on Can the New Mathstral LLM Accurately Compare 9.11 and 9.9? secondstate.io/articles/m... · Posted by u/3Sophons
This is a misapplication of default reasoning: if someone were to ask you which was lesser with no additional context, then there is only one correct answer.
Admittedly, I also assumed that the question was referring to version numbers instead of real numbers and was confused for a few seconds.
Though that may just be because I program a lot more than I do arithmetic nowadays.

> In New Zealand, non-urgent traffic incidents can be reported by calling *555 from a mobile phone. Alpha characters may also be used in phone numbers, such as in 1-800-Flowers.
Is this true? Do carriers actually accept [a-zA-Z] in their phone numbers? (if so, how are they encoded?). I couldn't find any reference to this elsewhere.
I had assumed that advertisement-numbers like `1-800-Flowers` had to be translated by a person when they entered the number on their phone via their keypad.

oh, pardon me. One pedantipoint for you.
One of the things I appreciate about HN is the depth of discussion. I think part of that depth comes from the assumption that everyone who is commenting has read the article.
I wasn’t trying to be pedantic (even though I certainly was) I was just trying to grapple with this ideal
