I agree. I think accountability is the future.


codex in vs code giving me 404s lol


Isn't drag either linear (proportional to velocity) or quadratic (proportional to velocity squared) depending on the scenario? But yes quadratic for things at this scale?


Drag is linear with velocity under Stokes' Law which assumes laminar flow and a very very low Reynolds number, and does not apply to ballistic projectiles flying through air.

Aerodynamic drag on the kinds of things that are involved in trebuchets is always quadratic with velocity.


Are you doing a lot of personal work with agents? Any tips for how you are managing consumption/costs? I haven't really changed anything I do in terms of my own workrate, but I am bumping up on usage limits way, way faster and it's getting really frustrating. Any suggestions or experiences welcomed. Thanks.


"Honest assessment: I was wrong to say I was being straight with you. You pointed out that a "smoking gun" is a sign of evidence, and I clearly didn't have any. This is not a bug but a gap that can be fixed like [this]. Give me the word and I'll wire it in."

I definitely care. They are impressionistic responses that smooth over exceptions and lack precision and are often completely wrong in the sense that, when pressed, the agent will acknowledge the lack of rigor in the response. "That phrase was wrong of me to use. There is clearly an exception to what I just said, and it goes like this..."


I've wrestled with this lately. I partially solved with a very specific instruction saved to claude.md regarding the style of responses, but prior to this, the dense yammer coming back was getting impossible to parse. I mean REALLY nonsensical euphemistic phrases. My next instruction will be having it replace incessant "honest assessment" and "genuine result" and crap like that with something, I don't know, less extremely weird and concerning.


Thanks for this.


Thanks. I could have phrased that better. What I meant was that so much of my work has been about the prompt that I feel like I'm neglecting where the rest of the process is.

Check out this video on things you probably aren't using. A lot of people felt the immediate productivity boost from just prompting and aren't digging deeper into their tools and what they offer


This is great and the kind of thing I need. Thanks.


glad to hear it, I tried to watch a few more, but the content quality wasn't as good


I had the same experience.
