I think the "brain in a vat" comparison is more apt. Without a form of digital embodiment (harness) they are not of much use. Sensor, tooling, memory, planning, and reasoning loops all lead to a much higher quality task-completio

This is a discussion on context window and not context. Please read my essay on context window saturation. I am also the author of deepcq (intent-aware memory querying & context mgmt for LLM agents)

Needing large context windows is an illusion.

Code World Models in Simultaneous Move settings like Capital Markets. DeepMind's CWM approach relies on standard MCTS/IS-MCTS, which assumes a single active player at each node. This doesn't work in simultaneous-move settings

Like the rest of the world. Since there are many non-Western countries that still have slaves there is no original sin.

I don't believe in the original sin of slavery in Western countries. Slavery has been existed for centuries before and, despite being abolished by Western countries (hint: there were several wars were people lost lives), still exists i

There are more people enslaved now than at any point in time in history. Guess the countries.

Please educate yourself more on this. Step out of your bubble. Christian nations have created the cultural and technical achievements over the last thousands of years. There is nothing even remotely comparable.

The last two years have been perfect for accumulating tech debt. 2023 you would have probably implemented your Agents with LangChain and RAG 2025 you'd use MCP and OpenAI/Anthropic Agent SDK. 2027 you will use a workspace framewor

The only way they can compete in Japan is the enterprise-game. Their partnership with Daiwa and MUFG is probably exactly what they should be doing. I doubt that they get that far though. Like Mistral who has partnerships with BNP Paribas an

But did they deliver anything yet? There are many startups with notable founders that are not being able to get models launched. And even if they are able to launch, so they get PMF. In case of Sakana, they clearly focus on the Japanese mar

I did a pair programming comparison over 3 month on Codex 5.2 and Claude Sonnet and my subjective experience was that based on cost and rollbacks to a previous commit Claude is significantly better. Especially in VS Code Copilot. I wrote a

In my opinion, the bread example doesn't really work that well because it bridges into the physical domain which most cognitive systems don't have access to. That said, for grounding context and therefore creating truth having a v

Anthropic for sure. It's a useful professional product that I find many use-cases for in my professional and private life. OpenAI not so much.

That assumes one layer of memory. In my experience you need to have at least 4 layers of memory to work well. All of them have different requirements for retrieval. Everything that is in short-term memory (state of the app, current convers

"You can’t be the CTO of Uber wanting to do AVs, and get the data collection requirement shockingly wrong." Problem 1: Cost and privacy constrain limit data collection. Problem 2: It makes not much sense to collect and store data

When working with APIs it makes a lot of sense to filter only for relevant portions based on an intent-driven dynamic RegEx.

Codex is much worse than Anthropics model. My experience is that I burn 10x the tokens using Codex compared to Sonnet 4.6

It still fubars my code regularly at 11x the price. Github Copilot Agentic Mode + Sonnet 4.6 is stable and inexpensive.
