How would you have written the prompt?


tbh, I don't really understand it well enough to be able to give a response here. But here's a real prompt I just used on a project copy/pasted:

```

Something that seems to have been a consistent gotcha when working with llm's on this project is that there's no specific `placement` column on the table that holds the 'results' data. Our race_class_section_results table has it's rows created in placement order - so it's inferred via the order relative to other records in the same race_class_section. But this seems to complicate things quite a bit at times when we have a specific record/entry and want to know it's placement - we have to query the rest of them and/or include joins and other complications if we want to filter results by the placements, etc.

  Can you take a look at how this is handled, both with the querying of existing data by views/livewire components/etc and how we're storing/creating the records via the import processes and give me a
   determination on whether you think it should be refactored to include a column on the database for `placement`? I think right now we've got 140,000 or so records on that table and it's got nearly
  20 years worth of race records so I don't think we need to be too concerned with the performance of the table or added storage or anything. Think very hard, understand that this would be a rather
  major refactor of the codebase (I assume, since it's likely used/referenced in _many_ places - thankfully though that most of the complicated queries it would be found in would be easily identified
  by just doing a search of the codebase for the race_class_section_results table) and determine if that would be worth it for the ease of use/query simplification moving forward.
```

This comes with a rather developed CLAUDE.md that includes references to other .md documents that outline various important aspects of the application that should be brought into context when working in those areas.

This prompt was made in planning mode - the LLM will then dig into the code/application to understand things and, if needed, ask questions and give options to weigh before return with a 'plan' on how to approach. I then iterate on that plan with it before eventually accepting a plan that it will then begin work on.


I bought a Thinkpad t80 and had been pretty good so far


But chrome is not default and people still go to install it


What do you mean? It is on many Androids and every Chromebook.

I just checked some website stats I have access to and ~78.6% of iOS users use Safari. On Android on the other hand, ~76% of them use Chrome, ~8.1% uses the Samsung Browser, and there's a marginal amount of people using other manufacturer-provided browsers like Huawei Browser and MIUI (Xiaomi's default). Of course I don't know the exact manufacturer of Android phones to be able to tell what percentage of say Samsung devices switched to Chrome, but I'd say the pattern's still pretty clear.

The only people likely to switch browsers are desktop users, but they total to <20% of the traffic. Funnily enough Chrome isn't even the top browser overall, it's Safari, but that tells you more about my clientele (richer than average for my target market).


I meant on windows


Windows itself doesn't matter anymore, on that same website it's at 11.9%.


Apply Adguard - annoyances filter list on ublock


I already have that on and it didn't catch this. It doesn't really seem to catch any pop-ups much.


Regular google + unlock origin gives me the same results


I have been using an ad blocker for a long time and K didn't even know there was the sponsored ads feature


The seem to be leaning into that and integrating steam. If they do seems like a good thing


There is definitely videos that are propaganda.

Like those low quality AI video about Trump or Biden, saying things that didn't happened. Anyone with critical thinking knows that those are either propaganda or engagement farming


Or they're just humorous videos meant to entertain and not be taken seriously. Or they are meant to poke fun of the politician, e.g. clearly politically motivated speech, literally propaganda, but aren't meant to be taken as authentic recordings and deception isn't the intent.

Sometimes it's clearly one and not the other, but it isn't always clear.


'I'm just a comedian guys' interviewing presidential candidates, spouting how we shouldn't be in Ukraine, then the second they get any pushback 'I'm just a comedian'. It's total bullshit. They are trying to influence, not get a laugh.


Downvoted...yet here is the Vice President saying the FCC Commissioner saying 'we can do this the hard way or the easy way' regarding censoring Jimmy Kimmel was 'just telling a joke':

You 'it's just comedy' guys are so full of it. The FCC Head attacking free media in the United States isn't 'just telling jokes'.


You can watch YouTube without watching any channels from an american person what do you mean


Weird American ads from crazy American Christians convinced about the rapture.


Isn't most of the reputational risk going to Ruby Central?
