Not to mention less footguns. I used to spend my days unwinding bad habits DS pick up from years of panda abuse. Credit to pandas for popularizing dataframes in Python, but polars and duckdb are objectively better APIs in addition to their

I think the idea is fundamentally improved architectures. For example, transformer-based models were an incredible stepwise improvement. Self improvement would be a model discovering a stepwise improvement similar to the transformer. And pr

You’re not wrong, but I don’t see a lot of alternatives. So we just don’t try to fix it? At least skills give us a landing pad for “here’s how to attempt to do things consistently in a way I generally approve of”

This is more HN headline managling. Title is “how we monitor…” not just “we monitor…” Don’t worry, mangling it is not a mistake though it’s a feature… despite being the third time this morning it has resulted in distracted conversation.

I think you missed my point, which is that we indeed do not control the harness. Sure, most people can use the properly aligned and safe harness. But the cat is out of the bag and anyone who wants to run without guardrails will find few b

I agree, the threat model is actual AI enabled amplification of malicious intent that is already happening. Not hypothetical malicious AI interpretation of benign intent. Fantasies about super intelligent AI revolting is just anthropomorphi

I was thinking the same. Whatever benefit there may ostensibly be, we should consider it against the frequent, if benign, confusion it causes.

> I feel fear about an impending doom. Yudkowsky's argument that a superintelligent AI will inevitably destroy humanity seems to have no flaw. Yet, nobody seriously tries to sandbox AIs because they are too useful with access. While

Just have two robots, and teach them to service each other. Problem solved! Only sort of kidding, tbh having bots service themselves (and being intentionally made in a way that they can service each other) just makes a lot of sense.

It’s an outstanding idea.

Respectfully… you are commenting far outside of your domain if you read OP’s description of their experience as substance abuse. I say this as someone who used to abuse substances and, naively, took mushrooms in pursuit of that. What I got

Sure, it is a bit cartoonish but it’s relatively impressive. I do wonder what you would get if you asked for photorealism

Reads like an AI generated ad for coaching. Someone please chime in if you feel otherwise but IMO this one is not worth the read.

Maybe but that future isn’t now and there’s real money to be made today with the above strategy.

It’s shame I’ll never use them. I’m sure the engineers are incredibly capable.

I have a hard time believing whatever prompts get Claude to reason can stay relevant secret sauce for long anyways. It’s not hard to A/B test something that gets you close enough, and it’s not Ike anthropic has uncovered the global opt

Strong disagree on tox. I was all in on it back in 2020-2023 and I found it was a consistent source of headaches and complexity. Whenever we’d run into venv issues it was always tox, often passing or not passing some critical under-the-hood

Yes both Opus and Fable’s comment style is truly unbearable. I like the code result but it’s so annoying seeing it reflect our conversation as code comments.

I had the same thought, I grabbed a studio two years ago for this reason and it’s been great. 99% of the time lack of portability isn’t a concern. Every now and then (e.g. travel) I notice the limitation, but it’s not much of an inconvenien

This is true, but the observation is still salient. There does seem to be some correspondence between languages with inherent friction and parsers that aren’t interested in being helpful. E.g. sometimes a user base just collectively decides

Not disagreeing with you at all, but welcome to our new AI enhanced world. Nothing you enjoyed regarding human interaction, trust, or social norms is safe. HN will not survive 5 years, and likely less. There is too much money to be made by

I like this, and resonate with the same thoughts. I do wonder when it comes to work though if the answer isn’t doing less but maybe breaking through in some way. I don’t know what it looks like but I do have the feeling LLMs are here to sta

I’ve been waiting for an acceptable running sombrero for years. They make bucket hats for runners but there’s not enough brim to really be effective.

I think it’s worth recognizing that for some people sober karaoke is just going to be filled with anxiety and no framing will make it fun. I would hang out with friends and do it if they wanted to, but I’d prefer literally any other activit

Love it, I had a similar but probably worse idea a few years back while woodworking. I agree the issue with essentially all CAD and sketchup etc is it forces you to work with primitives that are different from your real world ones. Extrudi

I do not understand the anti-JavaScript folks here. This is a forum that celebrates all sorts of automation, but now when a website wants to run automations that is agitating? I guess my question would be why does something so benign and co
