I think you underestimate how intensive it is to scroll LinkedIn in Edge while a YouTube video, Outlook, Adobe's updaters, antivirus, device management, and whatever incidental malware the user has picked up run in the background. That

How did you organize the atlas? I've tried a few things including embeddings and clustering files based on how often they change in the same commits, haven't yet found anything I want to bake into my tooling.

I've gotten good usage out of a structured search tool (not mine, by someone else here) called Tilth: https://github.com/jahala/tilth It combines search with tree sitter grammars so the results can annotate usage

I haven't looked closely enough at his autoresearch stuff to know how similar it is. From what I have seen the quality of output is directly tied to the quality of the request, a human can only read and understand some finite amount of

It's useful for search type problems where the result is relatively compact and verifiable in isolation. I haven't found a way to build production quality software that way in general but for certain kinds of reverse engineering o

There is some research suggesting that a prefix from a stronger model will tend to elicit better completions from a smaller one. I am doing some experiments to see if I can replicate this in a practically useful way, e.g. Fable + 4B Qwen, o

They confused "smaller" with "budget" though, if the good camera was available in the smaller size I would have bought it.

That's a good reference for what orthographic rendering is, but if you look at the rendered scene it's definitely not orthographic. Parallel lines in the model converge towards the camera when the model is viewed from an angle.

There's something funky with the renderer, it looks like perspective is wrong. All vibe coded?

If you've managed people, these are all familiar problems. I found you need much more than a functional specification, you also need motivation, background, related work, ideas tried, etc., because those help disambiguate the right pat

It only really makes sense for problems that are complex and require iterations that don't themselves require much review. E.g. if you want find, PoC, and patch bugs, the output can be reviewed without reading all the traces. Or if you

See my sibling comment, you can probably robo-code yourself some tooling to alleviate a lot of that in a few hours but if you want help shoot me an e-mail. I'm interested in seeing other people's workflows.

Similar to hgoel the model is managing the project's arc and writing + debugging code, but the underlying work is pretty compute intensive and all LLM output that is part of the final product is generated by local LLMs. Claude Code bui

Pretty much goal + task + dependency infrastructure to help avoid drift during long runs, especially across compaction boundaries. I have spent a lot of time doing automation with models at various strengths including some of the early open

This roughly lines up with my personal experience that in March a combination of stronger models and better tooling on my end let me start running jobs unattended 24/7 (using Anthropic sub and my own hardware). Their $8000/day per

Check sampling parameters and chat template, make sure you have adequate context window, turn reasoning effort down. It should be able to one shot a small app without intervention.

This is fantastic. It would be interesting to have Claude Code export an engineering guide for doing similar ports, including descriptions of the tooling it built to do it. I've done some reversing from binary but never with results th

Maybe after enough auditing it'll make sense.

Sounds like I have some reading to do.
22.
by hedgehog 15d ago
Oh, I can read the output, but that Haiku agent is a good trick. Where I want something less dense I just ask for "plain language" and characterize the reading audience and that term seems to trigger very readable output.

I don't know, I just pulled up the status for an active session and here's what it said: One thing I found before dispatching, and filed as Q0579. The halt told you C6 was all that was left in the unit. That was true of the

On the one hand this kind of harness work is pretty interesting, on the other the blog post is light on details and sounds like existing behavior of any high end model in Claude Code, Pi, or one of the litany of other projects that people s

Does anyone here have experience building custom apps for the Kobo? I'm considering getting an e-ink device as a way to shift document reviews off of my regular LCD screens and away from my desk.

You can kludge it together by having the agent keep a log of what it does with any notes and lessons about friction / efficiency, and then on some interval review that + session history for items worth promoting into a topic-based memo

Yes, those engineering discussions must have been interesting. By that point people had a fair amount of experience in Earth orbit but between the relative newness of space and the relative newness of computers there must have been signific

On the topic of ferromagnetic computing, was there ever any serious investigation of Parametron type machines for at least parts of the flight control or other critical systems where interruptions would have been very serious?

I had I think a G400 and G450 in my desktop at work at different points around 2001 and my recollection is they had a reputation for high output quality (DAC and such).

It's me, it's the reams of sessions I share back with a five star rating that are just Claude Code talking to itself about debugging its own generated code in jargon that has slowly diverged from anything a human would understand.
