Skills can provide CLI tools for LLMs running on the web. It works great (I use Claude).

The ID verification is also being used to enforce Claude's 18+ age restriction. It seems there is no way for a high school student to use Claude for any purpose, including as part of a supervised project or class.

I have a Birdweather puck ( https://birdweather.com ) that listens for birds in our backyard in suburban Boston. It also measures sound pressure level (30 second sample rate). Our puck showed a 90.8dB sound level compared to a 55d

Create a skill that has the CLI in the scripts sub-directory. The implementation language depends on the LLM and the VM it uses. Claude includes shell, python, and a bunch of other interpreters in a Linux environment. A skill's instruc

As the article says, legal action up to this point has been based on the fact that the government created policies that didn't follow its own rules under, for example, the Administrative Procedures Act. So now the administration is att

CLIs do work on mobile when they are packaged in skills that run in an appropriate VM behind the LLM. Claude on the web does this. The only issue is controlling network access, which could be fixed by per-skill ACLs.

Early LLMs typically tried to do multiplication "in their head" by recall. Now most LLMs do multiplication using a tool call to a programming language, akin to a person reaching for a calculator rather than relying on a learned ta

I would definitely disagree. Claude Code and similar agents help me execute experiments, prototypes and full designs based on ideas that I have been refining in my head for years, but never had the time or resources to implement. They also

On the other hand, LLMs are trained on enormous collections of human-authored documents, many that look like "how to" documents. Perhaps the current generation of LLMs are naturally wired for skill-like human language instructions

Skills are not just documentation. They include computability (programs/scripts), data (assets), and the documentation (resources) to use everything effectively. Programs and data are the basis of deterministic results that are accessi

It would be interesting to see how much better this algorithm would be with a stereo pair as input. Not only do many VR and AR systems acquire stereo, we have historical collections of stereo views in many libraries and museums.

Skills are not just markdown files. They are markdown files combined with code and data, which only work universally when you have a general purpose cloud-based code execution environment. Out of the box Claude skills can call python script

I have found that scripts, and the environment that runs them, are the skills' superpower. Computability (scripts) means being able build documents, access remote data, retrieve data from packaged databases and a bunch of other fundame

This format requires temporal validity with `valid_from`, but doesn't include `valid_to`. I don't understand how `valid_from` and the also required `recorded_at` interact.

It's slow between each UI interaction compared to auto-complete type systems. But CC can do much more per step. That's especially true if you use it to write scripts that encapsulate multiple steps of a process. Then it can run th

I think it's something you have to try in order to understand. Running commands one by one and getting permission may sound tedious. But for me, it maps closely to what I do as a developer: check out a repository, read its documentatio

Your comments are quite good and accurate. I would add that funding from private foundations is in many cases only viable because NIH overhead is paying for the supporting infrastructure. Very few biomedical researchers are supported solely
