What is a "squat-length string"?

I realize this is one of Claude's copy tells (using excessively hyphenated words) but in this case I can't figure out what it means.

I'm curious whether anyone has run into hallucinations with this kind of use of an LLM.

They are pretty great at converting data between formats, but I always worry there's a small chance it changes the actual data in the output in some small but misleading way.

I've used OpenSCAD for a few small projects. The main draw for me is avoiding all the "fiddly mouse stuff". I figure it's a trade-off between simple stuff being more complicated, and complicated stuff being easier to bulk edit and organize.

This is a neat idea.

I don't know enough about the underlying proof-of-work stuff to comment on how effective this could be, but I think it's pretty funny that the UI examples say "I'm a human".

I guess "there's only a few of me at most" or "I could allocate enough computation to this that I'm probably not up to no good" don't read as clearly.

It's a pity they don't ship to other countries than the US. I looked through their website and saw some fun stuff, but no international shipping.

I'm probably just not thinking through the problem fully, but: Wouldn't this be better solved inside the coding assistants? They're the parent process and should be able to tell when a sub command has hung.

This is incredible, love how much further you've taken it than just the proof of concept as well.

This is probably just my opinion, but I kept thinking that a better word for "drive" given the domain would be "clock". It's basically a binary clock signal driving these, right? Maybe "clock drive"?

If you write your own, how do you suggest avoiding the same coordinated omission error as those tools?

Tsung also has the interesting property of modeling traffic as individual user sessions, with probabilistic thinktimes and dynamic variables. Makes it possible to test your app in a much more realistic way than most tools, which just benchmark a series of identical requests or replay a log.
