> You do realize though that using Claude Desktop to "search" through confluence is like paying a world class architect on the hour just to give you some tips on how to layout your small loft to maximize sunlight.
If I could pay a world class architect $1.50 to give me tips on how to maximize sunlight in my loft I would.
Would it be nice if confluence just had a robust search that had a one time cost and then benefited everyone thereafter? Sure, but that's not the current reality, and I do not have control over their actions. I can only control mine.
Things will never be easier long term, you will just be expected to get more done. And if you dont spend time learning the tools, you will get less done than your competition.
Thats certainly an iconic kettle look, but I'm not sure I'd call it the average kettle. I don't think ive ever seen someone actually use a kettle like that. Maybe many decades ago.
I use one much like this four or five times a day, and have none of the problems described. I fill it through the spout though, so never have to remove the lid.
I think the problem is more the knowledge of an information hazard combined with her just not liking AI.
She doesn't like AI, so she avoids using it, fine. But she's also aware that using AI would make doing the task very easy. Because she is aware of AI's ability to complete the task, she would have to consciously avoid using it, and doing that us the problem itself. Having to consciously avoid the action you know is more efficient.
You see the same effect in video games. Being aware of a powerful item or meta tends to compel one to take that path, even if its less enjoyable. And sometimes it can bring the enjoyment low enough that one doesn't want to play anymore. If one were left unaware, they could keep playing blissfully unaware.
In this hypothetical, who is the individual or group of people that you envision would take the initiative to start a new city? What is their incentive to do so?
And to top it all off, they frrquently even vibe code their reddit posts. There is absolutely nothing of interest to interact with those posts.
The amount of reddit posts I land on from the last few years which are noticeable longer with no added value for the increased length than they would have been in the past is getting very annoying.
This seems to get brought up in every hn post on video game mulriplayer, and it makes me wonder: do you play video games? I dont know of any video games that do multiplayer that way, and i would think that alone suggests its not a good idea.
Who wants to play a game with 50ms+ keypress to screen update delay? Sounds miserable.
It makes me laugh whenever there's a post about anticheat on the frontpage and without missing a beat there's always a comment there - "why don't they just run the entire game logic server side and stream the updates to the client??? are they stupid?"
I don't play it much anymore, but I used to be a heavy player: the latency isn't 50 ms on GeForce Now (with a French connection, which is pretty good).
GeForce Now has the advantage of being able to pick a server closest to specifically you. If you're near a major datacenter, you're probably getting sub 20ms delay. Annoying, but playable for many games. That is not the case as soon as you try multiplayer with people in different metro areas.
Its impressive in the gimmick sense, but its not impressive in the "i want to use this tool" sense.
I use cluade code to help work in godot, but I dont try to use claude as a one shot tool anymore. I haven't gotten good results out of it and I haven't seen any good results out of it elsewhere.
I use claude the same way for all programming I do (game, web, minecraft mods). I say I want to accomplish a certain task, claude puts together a plan and explanation, I question any assumptions or things I dont understand, maybe do some research into parts that are new to me, and then either ask claude to implement the feature or I ask claude for a high-level concept and I implement it myself.
