Except for this line - that was Claude =D



So I was absolutely right?


LOL. I should have replied, "Perfect. Now the text will read: impostor"


The CLAUDE.md file in the repo is basically just the result of the `/init` command. But honestly, on small repos like this, it's not really needed.

Fun fact: I usually have `- Never say "You're absolutely right!".` in my CLAUDE.md files, but of course, Claude ignores it.


I actually put a directive to always reply to me in French just to see if it was reading the rules. Spoiler: it was reading the rules and ignoring the ones that I cared about but it could tell me about it in French so.. victory?

I've only had good experience concluding any prompt with "and don't talk about it" but my colleague says it hampers the agent because talking to itself helps it think. That's not been my experience, and I vastly prefer it not spending tokens I give no shits about


Thank you! And yes, roughViz is really great!

https://roughjs.com/ is another cool library to create a similar style, although not chart focused.


Sorry if that felt dirty - I thought about it as a signal that the data is live (it is!).


I think it's a perfect (and subtle) way to signal that refreshing is unnecessary to see the latest data without wasting UI space explicitly explaining it. It was my favorite thing about the UI and I will be borrowing it next time I design a real-time interface where the numbers matter more than the precise timing.


It's a lie, though. When I see it, I know the interface is lying to me, and then I trust it less henceforth.

I'll never build a lie into my work. It's not worth it.


really? it left a bad aftertaste for me


It's not that it's a fake number. They are saying the number is real, just it goes to current_value - 1, and then current value to indicate the value is updating live.

Not sure if that was clear.

Edit: I don't know if it's a real number but that's the claim in the comment above at least


I understand, it’s not about the number itself. My first thought when I opened the page was wow there was a update coincidentally right when I opened it. When refreshing again I felt like wtf I was being mislead


Yeah true, I was suspicious about that too.


Might make more sense to start at zero and then rapidly scale to the current number? To indicate fresh data is being loaded in without making it look like the reader happened to catch a new occurrence in real-time.


Would also be a fun way to animate the bar and animate the full being “sketched in”.

Love the design btw, very fun to build I imagine


API responses seem to be alternating between saying 19+20 and saying 0+0, at present.


I think the problem is people’s priors. This isn’t the first time we’re seeing data fake-arrive like this, and virtually always it’s done either to fake liveness or to lie about rate of change. So, it comes to mean not “live”, but “fake”, even though nefarious motives don’t make much sense in this fun context.

It’s a shame, I think it’s a clever thought, and it doesn’t feel great when good intentions are met with an assumption of maliciousness.


Weird the screen goes 18, 19, 21, then back to 18 and cycles again.

Probably brings up memories of travel sites saying "10 other people have this room in their cart"


Interestingly you're using long polling instead of WS or SSE, what was the reason behind that ?


I'd guess simplicity


Do you happen to have a counter how many times people create a webpage for data, intentionally show fake data, and submit that to HN?


A quick workaround if you're affected by a deep dependency and don't rely on stylus directly - add `"overrides": {"stylus": "0.0.1-security"}` to your package.json



It's interesting that it seems better engineered projects tend to retain more initial lines of code. Almost no first version code exists in WordPress and that project's codebase truly is hodge bodge, where as Git is considered a better piece of emgineering. In fact, Linus has been asked specifically about the good design of his programs and how he achieves it.


Just installed it. It's not a about pushing specific urls, but instead you push specific predefined data types. The ones available right now are "Note", "Address", "List", "File". Pushing is done by visiting the site at this time, though I can imaging a browser extension is in the works.

Personally, I don't think I'll use it - I use dropbox when I want to sync a file with my phone, Evernote for notes and lists, and just Chrome to Phone for addresses (via google maps) or urls.


I'm glad that it's not just through extensions, that was the major thing I didn't like about Chrome to Phone (since sometimes I use public computers).


That's exactly what the blogger has requested. He hasn't asked for any personal details.


Yahoo also bought a PVR/Media center software once... Anyone remembers Meedio? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meedio
