Not OP, but Tuple is pretty great.

Indeed Tuple is a great product. The goal is to match their quality and make it the OSS alternative, it's still early though, and I am trying to get some feedback.

Am I the only one who feels hesitant to even interact with someone wearing smart glasses? I have no idea if they could be recording me.

It's similar to how people felt when Google Glass first showed up. Until there's some universally understood signal like a visible recording light (that can't be turned off), I think that unease is going to stick around

Even with a light, a just made a quick google search and the top reddit thread is about how easy it is to cover up with black nail paint.

These particular classes don’t have a camera.

Why stop at YouTube? Blame Apple for creating an additive gadget that has single handedly wasted billions of hours of collective human intelligence. Life was so much better before iPhones.

But I hear you say - you can use iPhones for productive things and not just mindless brainrot. And that's the same with YouTube as well. Many waste time on YouTube, but many learn and do productive things.

Dont paint everything with a single, large, coarse brush stroke.

frankly when compared against TikTok, Insta, etc, YouTube is a force for good. Just script the shorts away...

Likewise. All my friends were within cycling distance and we had nature to play in. Personally I can't imagine growing up in a city like London.

Not asking for feedback is the killer for me. Even most junior developers will ask for more information if they don't have enough context/confidence to complete a task.

I often ask Claude to scan through the code first and then come back with questions related to the task. It sometimes comes back with useful questions, but most of the time it acts like a university student looking for participation marks from a tutorial; choosing questions to signal understanding rather than be helpful.

I have taken to appending "DO NOT START WRITING CODE." to almost every prompt.. I try to get it to analyze and ask questions and summarize what its going to do first, and even then it will sometimes ignore that and jump into writing (the wrong) code. A big part of the wrangling seems to be getting it to analyze or reason before charging down a wrong path.

If you use Claude Code you can go into plan mode, where it doesn't write code, you can back and forth.

Gemini is terrible for this

GitHub just released spec-kit which I think attempts to get the human more involved in the spec/planning/task building process. You basically instruct the LLM to generate these docs and you tweak them to flesh it out all fix mistakes. Then you tell the LLM to work on a single task at a time, reviewing in small chunks.

That's how everyone is already using Claude Code, it's not GitHub's idea. You go into plan mode, get it to iterate on the idea, then ask it to make (and save) a to do list md. Then you get it to run through the to-do list, checking tasks off as it goes.

Honestly - if it's such a good technique it should be built into the tool itself. I think just waiting for the tools to mature a bit will mean you can ignore a lot of the "just do xyz" crap.

It's not at senior engineer level until it asks relevant questions about lacking context instead of blindly trying to solve problems IMO.

The UK already uses palantir. Clearly they value it to continue and extend the relationship. But what do they know?

"Jumps into bed" gives a pretty good idea of what the author wants you to think. But I'm going to give the people signing the deal the benefit of the doubt that they might know a bit more.

Before, they were just fooling around on the couch.

I used to work nearby, and it eventually got to the point that I didn't even look up when walking past by. It's funny how incredible things become quotidian, in all aspects of our lives.

I also dream for this. Personally I would remove likes/reactions though. As we've seen with Instagram it's too easy to chase that dopamine rush/compare number of likes. Comments are enough in my opinion.

Likes/reactions should be hidden to everyone else except the poster, and not used for any kind of ranking.

And comments should be disabled by default. Users should have to take the extra step to enable comments ("I would like feedback") and if they're off by default, it won't feel strange or negative to the viewer.

Likes shouldn’t be visible to the poster either. Once you see the number of likes you quickly see that radical posts get the most likes and start posting more of it.

The best online discussions I have seen where at simple forums where the posts were listed in chronological order without likes or anything.

I completely agree but most people aren't that interested in some kind of socratic online dialogue.

I don't expect to learn much at all from internet discussion at this point. It serves a minimal socialization purpose and then my actual learning is from books and language models.

Limiting the # of shares in some way would be nice also. If people could only share one thing per day, they'd be more thoughtful of what to spend it on.

I actually had a moment just yesterday, imagining/hoping my toddler daughter will grow up and refer to my phone in the same way I did with my parents cigarettes when I was a kid. My mom always claims she had no idea they were dangerous when she started as a teen. I wonder if we'll all sound the same with social media and our devices to our kids.

If you haven't, read the anxious generation. We already know. But it's addictive/unhealthy in a different way and all the biggest companies in the world are behind it.

Thanks for sharing. London has these permanently, and while not cheap, they're very much worth it too.

I agree
