Because it doesn't really do this anymore with proper prompting techniques, and giving the LLM access to RAG / web enabled lookup tools.

What to take from it

  • Give the model retrieval or web lookup tools so it can check facts instead of guessing.
  • Clear prompting is described as a major reason hallucination feels less common.
  • Still verify claims that matter, whatever the tools.

Why do vibe coders pick Supabase over MongoDB?

The post asks why so many builders now choose Supabase when the poster and his circle preferred MongoDB. One reply says ChatGPT recommended Supabase and it is the only database that member has used. The most liked reply says most people in the group would be fine with MySQL.

Could you build something like Claude yourself, or is it out of reach?

The post asks whether people are trying to build Claude itself or whether it is too hard. Two replies separate the two jobs. Recreating the agent harness around a model is described as doable, while training a frontier model from scratch is described as costing millions or hundreds of millions. One member says fine tuning an existing model for a niche topic is realistic.

Quote from Nathan Pizar on keeping AI context in GitHub

How do you get an AI agent back on track when it loses context in a long chat?

The post asks members who do not write code what they do when an AI agent loses track of a long chat and starts adding new bugs instead of fixing the old ones. It drew 299 comments. The most liked answers say to stop relying on long chats: keep sessions short, move project knowledge into instructions, skills and documentation files, and keep the code in GitHub so nothing depends on the chat's memory. One member disagreed and said newer models handle long conversations well, at the cost of more tokens.
