Sol failing mostly on “unverified assumptions” and rarely hitting “integration errors” seems about right to me. I think Sol is second only to Astra (and miles ahead of even Fable) in architecting & engineering the right implementation —

Because without protection of collective speech, there is no principled way to protect the freedom of the press. The Citizens United case affirmed that a private group could collectively spend money to produce and distribute a movie attacki

By the “connected via territorial waters” rule, neither is Ceuta. Probably would have made the diagram a lot messier, though.

France also borders Suriname and Brazil at French Guiana, Spain borders the UK at Gibraltar (and Morocco at Ceuta and Melilla)… there’s lots of pub-quiz-winning ones sprinkled about!

If I’m understanding this right, you’re aiming at something like Svelte, but with React syntax?

Please have a human rewrite your site copy. Literally every second sentence is a Claudish rhetorical contrastive. Maybe shallow/unfair, but especially when dealing with something medical I’d love to know that it’s not slop all the way

It’s also a blood pressure med, so I went from borderline prehypertensive to perfect 105/70. You can’t go on and off it at will though, since you’ll get rebound high BP if you don’t taper.

Adding guanfacine (Intuniv) to my methylphenidate took the weird anxious-angry edge off. Would be nice to not have to take one med to fix the side effects of the other, though.

There was a recent-ish paper[0] from Sakana AI about baking facts from a document corpus into a LoRA adapter. Claimed near perfect recall on very large needle-in-haystack testing. Haven’t tried it myself though. [0]: https://saka

I built a game for a workshop at the AI Engineer conference last week. The idea was to try to optimize a CLI that your agent could use to call a remote service to process and fulfill complex natural language coffee orders. Within 3 minutes,

I’m building this! It was originally designed for human accessibility for interactive CLIs, but it turned out to be really useful for giving agents the ability to follow structured workflows. It runs as a background terminal that the agent

I’m partial to jina.ai — they have open models for code and prose, all easily runnable locally.

Supercritical CO2 extraction is pretty innocuous. Just buy good decaf from a place that doesn’t bathe their beans in toxic waste.

I’m building something similar with https://github.com/LabLeaks/special (apologies for the desultory slop-laden README, need to give that a lot more human attention) but I’ve gone in a slightly different direction: a “

There is no evidence of this. Evals are quite different from "self-evals". The only robust way of determining if LLM instructions are "good" is to run them through the intended model lots of times and see if you consiste

Haha no that’s change - 4.4x MORE expletives per word in the last week.

There are indeed non-expletive words that can contribute to the denominator, though I use them less and less these days.

Running some quick analysis against my .claude jsonl files, comparing the last 7 days against the prior 21: - expletives per message: 2.1x - messages with expletives: 2.2x - expletives per word: 4.4x(!) - messages >50% ALL CAPS: 2.5x Eit

Thousands of words to say: - cosmic voids are real but not actually empty, just lower density than average - pop science articles sometimes mistakenly use pictures of Bok globules to represent voids This is probably one of the lowest signal

Along these lines, I’m working on a tool called Spotless[0] that takes a more HTTP proxy-based approach to make statefulness something the agent doesn’t have to worry about. It directly reads & writes to the messages array going to and

That and Brooks’ underrated “The Design of Design” are notable for having an almost impossible density of quotable aphorisms on every page. They’re all so relevant today that it’s hard to believe that he’s talking about problems he faced ha

Isn’t this just an API sandbox? Many services have a test/sandbox mode. I do wish they were more common outside of fintech.

I just built something similar, specific to Claude Code. It runs as a transparent HTTP proxy that reads & rewrites the entire messages array that CC sends to its API. Same “dreaming” consolidation approach (using Haiku and another insta

I don’t know, Simon has had a pretty sane and level head on his shoulders on this stuff. To my mind he’s earned the right to be taken seriously when talking about approaches he has found helpful.

If someone with coprolalia is involuntarily induced to say the most awful, inappropriate thing possible in a given situation, doesn’t shouting slurs show that they aren’t racist? Someone who is deeply racist would presumably consider raci
