Parent is probably thinking of a distributed runtime scenario. The basic building blocks for this are there today. You have long-running background harnesses (like the OpenClaw stuff or enterprisy AI workflow orchestration thingies), someti

They differ in that there hasn't been a solver you could have thrown them at. I guess you could argue their harness + LLM setup is a "solver", but the approach is so different from what we used that word for in the past that

Quick reminder that it took 6 years for Snowden to step up with dozens or even hundreds of other involved employees not talking before.

Very true. As with all standards, there will always be people who disagree. We still mostly follow them either because we're forced to or because the effort required to establish another standard doesn't outweigh the benefits. Per

Well actually there is a reasonably objective standard defining software quality criteria on the source code level (ISO 5055). They also define 29 criteria for maintainability: https://www.it-cisq.org/coding-rules/

It does not use -p, but it does try to impersonate Claude when talking to the Anthropic API. Will they detect the difference in usage patterns and ban anyone who exploits them? Who knows.

I've had my private servers running Arch (managed by Ansible) for the last 5 years but have recently been looking into Talos for the same reasons. Setting up a single node k8s using Talos was actually pretty straight forward. In the en

I've seen it used in production by larger orgs. The scale where you plan for around 6 months of migration, customization and integration of your legacy zoo with 7 different user account DBs. On one hand, all of these projects were succ

For me the largest value-add is the unified API. Being able to instantly start trialling a new model with zero code changes is well worth 5%. The other part is not having to deal with billing for multiple platforms.

1. For me pruning is a bit less about cost than performance. Recent research suggests lower context size is nearly always better, and many harnesses implement a sliding window for tool output pruning. Also not every provider supports cachin

Great job and congrats! Working on my own harness has been one of my favorite side projects in the past couple of weeks, of course I never finish anything... But I'm very interested in your experience with the following: 1. Context man

Can't speak for OP but I tried providing ast-grep in the execution context of an execute_bash tool, but even with pretty aggressive steering most models just don't seem to use it a lot. More expensive/SOTA models or higher re

Is there a complete list of the tools somewhere? I'm interested in how you chose to expose the AST specifically. In my own harness attempts I wanted to keep the number of tools absolutely minimal and briefly experimented with including

by sally_glance 5mo ago
Not sure this is a great idea. The model only internalized what it was trained on and writing prompts/context for itself isn't part of that. I try to keep my context as clean as possible, mostly today's models seem smart&#x2F

Maybe the brain is more akin to a network of networks and the actual reasoning part is not all that large? There are lots of areas dedicated exclusively to processing input and controlling subsystems. I can imagine a future where large arti

How are Chatbot UIs different from search engines? Just look how that turned out... Yeah we have Kagi and DDG, but quality, completeness of results (for most topics) and cost still drives most people to Google. Switching is maybe feasible f

This is the hard part - especially with larger initiatives, it takes quite a bit of work to evaluate what the current combination of harness + LLM is good at. Running experiments yourself is cumbersome and expensive, public benchmarks are f

I think the problem is the union argument type - intuitively we read "array of strings OR numbers", but actually it means "array of strings AND numbers". Probably generics would be more appropriate here, with the type pa
