I got Opus to knock out an MCP server that implements subagents running in pi and tell Opus to send work to DeepSeek. Or I tell it to ask GPT-5.5 for critiques. It's manual but saves a lot of tokens.

Also, from a comment in another thread, from roon, who works at OpenAI: > codex-5.2 is really amazing but using it from my personal and not work account over the weekend taught me some user empathy lol it’s a bit slow [0] https:/&#

Not magical thinking, not conspiratorial, just hypothetical. Just because you can't afford to 10x all your customers' inference doesn't mean you can't afford to 10x your inhouse inference. And 2.5x is from Anthropic&#x27

I was thinking about inhouse model inference speeds at frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI after reading the "Claude built a C compiler" article. Having higher inference speed would be an advantage, especially if you're t

I'm building my take on a low-touch task completion assistant designed to counter distraction and hyper-habituation. It's starting off as a MacOS app because that's the machine I have. I didn't know Swift or SwiftUI when

Piracy might not hurt sales, but 1000 publishers putting out their own copies of your book/game/song/poster/miniature once it hits the market will. That's why I can accept copyright even thought it's not perfec

Are these numbers full time employees only or total FTEs? Because it mentions Walmart: "Walmart’s full-time employees number remained relatively constant for the last 10 years". Would revenue / person-hour show a different tr

Guanfacine.

I found it made me think and act sleep deprived even though I didn't feel it and also increased anxiety. Guanfacine is also an alternative, and it's method of action also makes it anxiety reducing.

You might be how surprised how low a dose you need for an effect. 5-10ug of Ritalin noticeably reduces the "noise floor" for me. How do you take 5-10ug? Dissolve 10mg in a litre of something. Get a 1ml dosing syringe. It has 0.1ml

What size gemma are you using? Is the refactoring running independently or managed by you?

Gave it a try. After a few minutes I felt more like I was recognising the samples than I was recognising the notes. Not sure what you can do about that short of physically modeling an instrument.

This definition of AGEs is interesting (linked from the article, same site): "Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) form when proteins and fats (lipids) in the body react with sugar (glucose) and become glycated and oxidized." So

I like msty.app. Parallel prompting across multiple commercial and local models plus branching dialogs. Doesn’t do artifacts, etc, though.

Interesting. I have the exact opposite issue. Hypervigilance and all that.

People out there trying build some semblance of AI out of an LLM using larger and larger networks of “agents” that generate, classify, revise and verify data using the same LLM they're building larger and larger networks of agents upon

I've never seen this before. I love the design. It's like a drum machine for spreadsheets. And it's from 1983, the same year the Tandy Model 100 was released. A good year for gadgets.

I look at all the advice on prompts and I don't feel like the "Frame Problem" has been solved. It feels like it has shifted into the "Frame Invocation Problem". And it is this very problem which led me to ask my que

Thanks for that. It looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for. I'll give it a read.

Can anyone point me to models that look like they might actually be useful in moving towards AGI? I feel like I have a basic understanding of the transformer architecture, and multiplying X tokens in a sliding window across a set of static

But it's just spent 30-45 minutes at boiling point. If you keep the cooker closed and only use clean utensils to remove rice I'd say the risk is pretty low.

I assume it's not 100 billion floating point numbers sitting on an SSD. Not even if they are cleverly filtered to select the best 4096 of them.

I really wish someone who claims an LLM is conscious would explain how the consciousness is being generated while walking through the code that generates the text to support their claim. Like, is it some kind of giant pool of static experie

I do something similar to Flowtime but without the bookkeeping: Orodomops. Set a stopwatch going but out of sight. When you run out of steam check it. If it’s been less than 25 minutes keep going. If greater, have a break scaled to the time

What impact are you hoping it will have? If you're worried about losing your flame try micro-dosing it. I've found < 10 micrograms of ritalin can have a useful impact - gets rid of some of the background noise but without the n

I did something similar on Metafilter - a Greasemonkey script to hide comments with a low number of favourites - and they were outraged.
