I'm using claude code and making stuff. I'm keeping an eye and being aware of these new tools but I wait for the dust to settle and see if people switch or are still hyped after the hype dies down. X / HackerNews are good for keeping plugged in.
I think the intent of prompt engineering is to get better solutions quicker, in formats you want. But yeah, ideally the model just "knows" and you don't have to engineer your question
Love a good clicker game, but I think some of the mechanics need adjusted. I got it up to a certain point and then came back to the browser tab after an hour or so and had broken the game and bought all the things.
edit: maybe I saw the scientific notation and assumed it was broken hah. I'm launching rockets now. But I feel like there should have been more struggle to get to this part.
Look Mum No Computer[1] is the most creative and inspirational guy in this space IMO and he goes through much of his projects in further detail on his site.
These are totally different versions of the concept of "literacy", though. Being able to read/write abbreviations of "eggs, scrambled", or "oatmeal" falls well below sixth-grade reading level. Literacy statistics involve much more comprehension than reading/writing food orders. Plenty of illiterate people do work in restaurants writing food orders. This is just a systemized way to remember orders, one that is used across all Waffle Houses, so that an employee from one restaurant switching to another will be just as effective, with no cross training or cultural difference.
No, I have no idea. It does seem that overall US literacy rates are much lower than you’d guess though. Certainly 2x worse than I thought before doing a single Google search.
So it seems wise for companies in general to make their processes accessible to the illiterate, especially if they have more accurate data about their employees’ literacy than this general data.
I only replied because OP seems to be getting jumped on for making a guess that feels uncomfortable to talk about.
As someone who is always in the mood for an All-Star Special I would agree that this joke is pretentious and reflects poorly on Hicks despite the very funny delivery :)
It wasn’t my original thought. That’s been the popular justification on Reddit for the system. Makes sense considering WH is a southern-centric restaurant and many in the south would still have struggled with literacy circa 1955 when it was founded.
