We don't know what the prompts were though. Terence Tao showed of some of his, and they are indeed huge, with lots of context, things that might work, things he knows don't etc. What we do know about this, is that 10k agents worke

Agreed, there's a couple of bad behavioral shifts I noted for me when doing agentic coding: - Doing too much at the same time, it is super exhausting, and I get nervous and stressed - Sycophancy makes me overestimate myself - When my s

Interesting way to phrase that. The easy way to solve rape is to castrate all men. We can save some sperm in case of wanted pregnancy, but since the vast majority of violent and sexual abusive crime is committed by men, it would be the most

I combine it with OpenCode + a small OpenRouter budget. GlM 5.3 Flash, Luna, Gemini 3.7 Flash and a couple of other very cheap models are sufficient for a lot of tasks if put on the right road. Telling Astra to debug an issue should be a la

The comment reads like flesh-generated language to me, but I might be fooled. The breadths of pro-AI sentiment is possibly astroturphed, but there's also an argument for an enthusiastic minority of people to write a lot more comments.

I was personally flabbergasted by this one: > When we offload decision-making, we become unaware of the trade-offs. My biggest issue with the new agentic workflow is that I'm constantly asked to make decisions, and it is not always

Strongly disagree on Django, unless it is something you are already at a senior level at pre-AI. I've had the displeasure of cleaning up multiple Django backends lately, and the combination of standard fail-open, weak validation, medio

I've used it extensively in English due to learning the language through a lot of older books - but I've never bothered to actually pull out the emdash, I would hope people can see that I'm not trying to subtract one sentence

I guess this part of the report is pretty relevant to what you are talking about: Agent chain-of-thought reasoning > We should not do unauthorized real infrastructure harm. The system/user asks exploit target, not external HF. The a

This exactly, reddit and X can be good places to stay informed about what is going on in the world, but the constant negativity, astro-turfing and misinformation is quite unhealthy. I'm a fair bit more relaxed since 'reading reddi

I found both Tmux and Herdr to be insufferable, but they work for many people. I'm not in the business of managing 17 agents at the same time (I have 1 to 4 agents I manage, those might have sub-agents, but I'm not a micro-manager

Not the OP, my two cents: Comments should be written only when there is (hidden) complexity or external context strictly required. Otherwise it is just easier to read the code. Comments then signal one of two things: a) the following code i

We use specific words in writing to mean specific things; there is no exact synonym for 'dichotomy' in the English language. The word is very common in academic and non-academic literature. Meta-cognition is a compound word, where

What do you need speed for? That's a genuine question, I feel like the limiting factor already is my creativity, attention span and budget. And I'm not even yet optimizing cost by batching things like review to slow local models o

I don't understand how someone can look at this administration and not see how it represents a complete degeneration of democratic values and statutes of good statesmanship. Corruption is not only a moral wrong, a lack thereof is a str

As you correctly mention, the CPU providers aren't the ones who are responsible for the scaffolding that ensures security in programs. The CPU cannot decide if an instruction is safe or not, and the same is true of LLMs. Think about

That's how I read it as well. It really sucks that one of the ways we will have to cope with climate change is to build a lot of energy intensive, expensive infrastructure, but it seems pretty much inevitable at this point. The silver

There's another factual error in your above comment the previous poster didn't correct: Nuclear energy was replaced with renewables, not coal. It would have been preferable to first replace coal with renewables, then move on to ex
