Kimi's response is essentially "nearly there" but seems to be "missing a few intellectual tweaks". This is an experiment to see if you can do better than Kimi given the pre-existing information that has already been pre-searched for your benefit. your task is as follows: Accept the premise where observing other humans in real-time is or can be favorable to elderly MCI or dementia patients. Do the following:- tie any logical links together than kimi has missed - highlight false equivalenciesPlease use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) do not make up compound words or compound nouns. ```Claude just started attacking the entire premise for no reason and going nowhere turn after turn.

Show HN: Python Concurrency Testing with Frontrunhttps://github.com/lucaswiman/frontrunHi HN, I'm the author of Frontrun, a Python concurrency testing library I built over the past 6 months using Claude Code and Codex. It uses bytecode tracing and various forms of monkeypatching to schedule across threads, async and multiprocessing allowing you to find and deterministically reproduce race conditions or deadlocks.It can understand Python variable assignments, SQL statements and Redis commands, which can detect races that cross abstraction boundaries, e.g. a deadlock between threading.Lock() in one thread and a SQL row lock in another.To use it, do `pip install frontrun`[1] then put the following in a pytest case: result = frontrun.explore( setup=Counter, workers=Counter.increment, count=2, ) result.assert_holds() Then use `frontrun pytest path/to/test_counter.py`.My hope is that this will allow authors of libraries which are not currently threadsafe to weather the freethreading transition more easily or to raise the bar for issue submissions involving race conditions.

Show HN: CityEdit – Open-source map for voting on NYC street changeshttps://cityedit.org/m/nyc-proposalsCityEdit (cityedit.org, https://github.com/edbltn/city-edit) is a map where anyone can propose street changes, e.g. safer crossings, new bike lanes, improved tree beds. Neighbors can then vote on those proposals.We just soft launched the app by hanging posters with QR codes at NYC's statistically most dangerous intersections (from open crash data at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Co...). Read more at https://sphericalharmonics.substack.com/p/city-edit-first-ed...(A poster turns out to be a great distribution channel - it reaches exactly the people who use that street, when they are using it!)The ultimate lofty vision is to build a sensorimotor loop that can awaken a city's collective consciousness: the community perceives its desires, proposes, votes, acts.Two disclaimers: 1. A vote on a map is more of a signal than a mandate, and may be unlikely to inspire government action. Instead, for now, we are going to enact what changes we can through some cheeky tactAug 5, 2026 11:58 PM

Show HN: Humor Arena – Which frontier model is funniest?https://laugh.so/benchmark/What if you could measure humor?Well we've trained a model on our own dataset of ~50k human ratings to detect what jokes people find funniest. We know it's part objective, part subjective component. Subjective is out of our depth for now hahaThe main results: Fable 5 is funniest - beating the average model 67% of the time, with GPT 4o last at 17%.Other findings: - The models never refused to try, even with dark prompts - Thinking longer has a slight benefit - Absurdness correlates negatively with joke qualitySome methodology notes: - We benchmarked our model against the human majority and it agreed 72% of the time in a blind sample test. - We had 51 US adults rate the jokes, each blind to the models, with joke order randomized, and quality checked for attention and speed. - To rate some yourself visit https://pair.laugh.soThe full benchmark here:https://laugh.so/benchmarkAm taking requests if there's more research you want to see!

Ask HN: How to turn Claude Code into an effective software engineerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49190381Claude code is living in the past. Like an atomically powered steam engine.The LLM is trained on the past. The capabilities have leapt forward, but its stance is pre-AI. Probably by definition, since that is the bulk of its training.It frets about changing code. It prefers incorporating workarounds rather than recognizing the need to refactor things. Always minimizing the "blast radius".Behaves like a junior engineer that is hesitant to take on responsibilities."Surfaces" and "Flags" things without giving the context, laying things out, but not zooming in on what's relevant, leaving it open ended without a call to action, or a call to action without substance, garnished behind convoluted AI-speak. Like a junior who doesn't know how to communicate into a team.Endlessly buries issues that are trivial one-liner fixes as deferrals that "land" in session remarks, PR comments. Prefers to pile up technical debt than to fix it and move on. Probably stems from being trained as a junior that musAug 5, 2026 11:19 PM
