Checklists are extremely hard. Writing them requires the skill of the programmer and direct response copywriter, and few people have both. Ensuring that people actually use the checklists is brutally difficult. And creating systems to improve the checklists as they are used is even harder. I suspect checklists being so hard is the reason they're so rarely used.

o3 pro seems to be good with meta-prompting. Meaning, when you ask it to create a prompt for you. In particular it seems to be more concise than o3 when doing this.

Has anybody else noticed this?

Despite the confusing copy here and on the landing page, the tool appears to be a commit message linter not a generator. Which seems useful. In fact, I was thinking of building something like that for internal use. Thank you for sharing.

I'll try to explain, not in the spirit of being argumentative, but with the hope of being useful.

The comment you replied to was not questioning the value of integrated cabling. It was pointing out that the product description on the site does not make sense.

"Cloud computer" sounds like a server you rent from AWS. It's kind of like calling Rust "cloud compiler."

If you choose to use words that your audience doesn't understand, or even worse understands to mean the opposite of what you want them to mean, it's a good idea to explain these words immediately using conventional words with conventional meaning. The comments by throw0101a did that.

The product seems really cool, but there is no way I would've understood what it was from the website.

I wouldn't be dismissive of people telling you that the product description can be improved. My opinion is that the description of the product in this thread will outperform your site 10 to 1.

That's because conventional store apples are coated with wax and organic ones are not. Wax often has bad, usually bitter, taste and unpleasant texture.

Organic apples are not coated with wax, so they taste better, but will dry up faster.

Wikipedia disagrees with you: “On February 15, during the power crisis, the state's Public Utility Commission required ERCOT to set the price to the $9,000 maximum. The commission reasoned that the trading prices for energy (as low as $1,200) were inconsistent with the supply scarcity.”

Your site does not seem to preserve scroll state correctly after clicking back on iPhone. Go to the homepage, scroll down to repos, tap on a repo, tap back, find yourself at the top of the homepage.

Which illustrates a general problem with these kind of libraries - you need to put in a lot of effort to make them work as well as normal old old web applications. Is the performance improvement actually there, and is it worth the extra bugs and effort?

Not to pick on you either. E.g. GitHub had broken back button behavior with their turbolinks for the longest time.

The article answers this. Because further government involvement would slow down the process. E.g.

“To as­sem­ble its mRNA pro­duc­tion net­work, Pfizer used its own money and didn’t take any from the fed­eral gov­ern­ment. Ex­ec­u­tives said they didn’t want to give agen­cies out­side the FDA more lever­age over the de­sign of the tri­als.”

“Ri­val Mod­erna, which took fund­ing from a di­vi­sion of the U.S. De­part­ment of Health and Hu­man Ser­vices, suf­fered a three-week de­lay in com­plet­ing its own mRNA trial af­ter fed­eral of­fi­cials there asked the com­pany to slow down en­roll­ment to boost the racial and eth­nic di­ver­sity of study sub­jects.”

That’s misleading. Soviet passport “nationality” is called ethnicity in English. Using ethnicity as the primary classifier for people is no longer polite in the west (or Ukraine), except in the context of affirmative action. Therefore it’s safe to say word Russian in the title means pars pro toto Soviet nationality, not Russian ethnicity.

BTW, including ethnicity on official documents is now considered a violation of human rights in the West and (I believe) in Ukraine. Interestingly, it was originally added to the passport by Stalin to enable affirmative action. And only later used for ethnic cleansing and discrimination.

Turns out there is a name for this:

Pars pro toto (/ˌpɑːrz proʊ ˈtoʊtoʊ/,[1] Latin: [ˈpars proː ˈtoːtoː]), Latin for '"a part (taken) for the whole"',[2] is a figure of speech where the name of a portion of an object, place, or concept is used or taken to represent its entirety.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pars_pro_toto

Pars pro toto usage is especially common in political geography, with examples including "Russia" or "Russians", used to refer to the entire former Russian Empire or former Soviet Union or its people; Holland for the Netherlands; and, particularly in languages other than English, using the translation of "England" in that language to refer to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
