I _really_ think you have an interesting tool, but the workflow loop isn't fully there.
Please let me revise or remix a suggested node. I find them extremely engaging, and I can envision ways of sort of "spinning off" even further than it's suggestions. Think Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.
To me, this is hinting at really interesting creative processes that feel much more humane than how most LLMs work today.
these two posts (the parent and then the OP) seem equally empty?
by level of compute spend, it might look like:
- ask an LLM in the same query/thread to write code AND tests (not good)
- ask the LLM in different threads (meh)
- ask the LLM in a separate thread to critique said tests (too brittle, testing guidelines, testing implementation and not out behavior, etc). fix those. (decent)
- ask the LLM to spawn multiple agents to review the code and tests. Fix those. Spawn agents to critique again. Fix again.
- Do the same as above, but spawn agents from different families (so Claude calls Gemini and Codex).

these are usually set up as /slash commands like /tests or /review so you aren’t doing this manually. since this can take some time, people might work on multiple features at once.
I value the author's optimism, but this list activates a deep fear in me. It feels like a such an American point of view to think a techno-ideal is defined simply by buying a different set of consumer electronics, many of which are just as throwaway as the ones before.
I know we can't get away from buying things--even a self-hosted homelab needs parts, and I'm not rejecting capitalism. But it feels like capitalism culture is so strong that it goes through everything people think like thread through a needle, everything they do is stitched with its color.
This makes me sad for the future my children will inherit. I want them to be excited by what comes next, the way I was excited by the N64 or the early web. But those things were exciting because they were _new frontiers_ and new stories, not because they were products.
If the only future we can envision is a curated list of retro-gadgets and subscriptions, we have lost the plot.
I love HN because everyone is so different outside of the core purpose of the site. Sometimes people reference art, or a book or something, that I'd never would think to exist.
Llainwire was my top artist listens throughout 2023, so it’s always funny to bump into reactions that feel totally different from my world/my peers.
A shame that kid was slept on. Allegedly (according to discord) he abandoned this because so many artists reached out to have him do this style of mv, instead of wanting to collaborate on music.
the cheap house thing has nothing to do with if you’re foreign and everything to do with a bank not wanting to lend money for something there’s no market for.
you can easily buy these homes with cash. i know because i have a ton of friends that have done exactly this.
if you want a cheap house in a good market like tokyo, osaka or fukoaka, then you can do so through a bank via the normal routes
I just read the book last week. What you said is not true in any useful sense. “Germans were acutely aware…” tries to reduce an entire population and years into one statement. Reality has much more color.
For the germans interviewed in the book, it seems to be true that many had read or heard about the camps or other atrocities, but (1) not the “final solution” which was not in the press and (2) there seems to be heavy desensitization from 1933-1955 when the book was written.
Aside from the tailor that had started the fire at the synagogue, the other 9 interviewees had not directly witnessed atrocities being committed, and instead focused on their personal hardships during the war.
Even though they may have been literate, the people in Mayer’s book were ignorant of the specific realities. Perhaps willfully ignorant, yes, but the nazi regime really did not give any opportunities otherwise.

not an expert, just reporting my notes from the book.
i highly recommend all americans read it, its not a long book. it feels eerily familiar, even though many circumstances are drastically different.
Is it overall song structure?
