gleb commented on Checklists are hard, but still a good thing   utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/spa... · Posted by u/zdw

Checklists are extremely hard. Writing them requires the skill of the programmer and direct response copywriter, and few people have both. Ensuring that people actually use the checklists is brutally difficult. And creating systems to improve the checklists as they are used is even harder. I suspect checklists being so hard is the reason they're so rarely used.

o3 pro seems to be good with meta-prompting. Meaning, when you ask it to create a prompt for you. In particular it seems to be more concise than o3 when doing this.

Has anybody else noticed this?

Despite the confusing copy here and on the landing page, the tool appears to be a commit message linter not a generator. Which seems useful. In fact, I was thinking of building something like that for internal use. Thank you for sharing.

> Half of them don't even use semantic versioning.

This is a red herring. Distros existed before semantic versioning was defined and had to deal with those issues for ages. When packaging, you check for the behaviour changes in the package and its dependencies. The version numbers are a tiny indicator, but mostly meaningless.

I think semantic versioning actually predates distributions. It just was not called "semantic versioning." It was called Unix shared library versioning.

Thanks and great question :)

When we first launched, the tool was very manual; you had to generate each step via the UI. We then added a "Loop Creator agent" that now builds Loops for you without intervention. Over the past few months we've mostly been fixing feature gaps and improving the Loop Creator.

Based on recent user feedback, we've put a few things in motion:

- Form generator (for manual loops)

- Chrome extension (for local automations)

- In-house Google Sheets integration

- Custom outputs (charts, tables, etc.)

- Custom Blocks (shareable with other users)

With these improvements, you'll be able to create "single page apps" like this one I made for my wife's annual mango tasting party[0].

In addition to those features, we're also launching a new section for Loop templates + educational content/how-tos, in an effort to help people get started.

To be super candid, the Loop Creator has been a pain. We started at an 8% success rate and we're only just now at 25%. Theoretically we should be able to hit 80%+ based on existing loop requests, but we're running into limits with the current state of LLMs.

Where do you get such a large variety of mangoes?

Did you wait for the text to turn blue and then black? And were the twos still wrong then? The real-time text is non-final tokens and has many more errors than what is ultimately committed to the document (but committing is slower than we'd like at the moment).

Yes I did. I even later tried to tell it to fix this, and was not successful.

Tried it. Seemed quite impressive. Two issues:

- it consistently uses word two instead of to

- forcing Google OAuth as the only way to sign up is not a good idea. That prevented me from signing up.

I am not trying to be dismissive, I was just explaining since there was some confusion.
gleb · 2 years ago
I'll try to explain, not in the spirit of being argumentative, but with the hope of being useful.

The comment you replied to was not questioning the value of integrated cabling. It was pointing out that the product description on the site does not make sense.

"Cloud computer" sounds like a server you rent from AWS. It's kind of like calling Rust "cloud compiler."

If you choose to use words that your audience doesn't understand, or even worse understands to mean the opposite of what you want them to mean, it's a good idea to explain these words immediately using conventional words with conventional meaning. The comments by throw0101a did that.

The product seems really cool, but there is no way I would've understood what it was from the website.
