The harness instructs them to behave this way. Also this approach saves tokens. The scripts allow to edit files in bulk, and most of the session cost is in cache reads (e.g. for 300K context each command costs the same as 30K input tokens).

I was wondering why Fable's 5.1 writing in Claude Code became even more unreadable, and found that they added "No em-dashes, no parentheticals, no arrows" to its system prompt.

For starters, if you repeat a specific prompt multiple times per day, you may save it as a skill.

When I was not 17 at the times of GPT2, I decided to not bother with learning how to build LLMs because it’s too expensive for an individual. This escalated quickly.

12 tok/s and almost instant response on M1 Max Mac Studio (with faster SSD than laptops) are impressive – gives hope that large models may run locally from SSDs instead of memory.

We have speed limits for vehicles because speed kills. In computing, waiting kills (indirectly, by wasting time). Speed is life. Some roads have minimum speed limits. If we're talking about limits, that's the kind of limit we want

I had learnt that trick, so now I explicitly disallow Fable subagents. Yesterday, I wanted to review a complex piece after a large refactoring, and requested a review plan beforehand. The first step was 8 agents + one more to verify the fin

I'm waiting for the day when Claude will figure out to use em dashes, en dashes or dashes depending on whether the user is nice or unpleasant, or write notes in the unallocated disk space.

Too late for the tech part. The tech stack may be incomprehensible for humans, but LLMs will build on top of it just fine.

I'm curious about their expectations and how they will interpret the results. On the one hand, the people there are supposedly among the smartest on the planet. On the other hand, they consistently forget that they're dealing with

Not exactly. I got (and renewed) the Swiss permit with zero knowledge of any official language. However, my wife had to present the basic certificate or my promise that she would learn the language.

I will make burgers myself. I take this approach with many things and services without great suppliers anyway. And I don't care if it's suboptimal because, in the long run, I'll have better skills and be protected from exactl

The author offers to permanently put 400 words into the context to save 55-90 in T1-T3 benchmarks. Considering the 1:5 (input:output) token cost ratio, this could increase total spending. With a few sentences about "be neutral"&#x

All right, the twist. They may hire Tantric Buddhists or Shaivites. Some of them even pay to meditate on stuff like that, and will be happy to do the practice and get paid for it. Oh, wait, India?

For me, this is the major selling point to own a car. I may drive a few times a week, and taxis might be much cheaper, but no way I'm going to deal with human taxi drivers if I have a choice.

The best solution I've found a few years ago is one Venta LW 45 for every 30 m² of space. That's enough to run them on the lowest speed while maintaining acceptable humidity and CO₂ levels. Higher speeds are too noisy. Smaller mac
