I imagine something like 98% of articles also get less than 100 views. So the question is more about the articles you're reading rather than articles in general.

Much of the recent improvement in models is in being trained specifically to make use of the tools the harnesses give them.

I've switched to using traefik from caddy. For simple use cases it's a little more verbose in the configuration, but for more involved things like multiple load balancing backends, rewriting paths and headers and so on I've f

So I wonder, if a more powerful agent harness could have the agent basically write and exectute its own deteministic code, which when executed, spawns sub agents for each of the subtasks? So far we've seen agents spawn subagents direct

Both Arch and Nix solve this by making it very easy to write packages that work around the compatibility issues. When I used to use ubuntu and mint it was a lot more common to run into these types of issues.

Nobody is arguing it's guaranteed. This is why you never give an LLM access to any essential infrastructure. Make sure everything it does can be undone. Double check when guarantees are required.

Skills are often invoked imperatively by the user. In cases where they are intended to be used directly by the LLM, it would be included somewhere else in the context. E.g: ``` After implementing the feature, read the testing skill for inst

The personification seems to be at the training level. When I ask an LLM why it did something destructive, the ideal response would be a matter of fact evaluation of the mistakes that I myself have made in setting up the agent and it's

It's actually common for human-written projects to go through an initial R&D phase where the first prototypes turn into spaghetti code and require a full rewrite. I haven't been through this myself with LLMs, but I wonder to w

You can have cryptographically signed data caches without the need for a blockchain. What a blockchain can add is the ability to say that a particular piece of data must have existed before a given date, by including the hash of that data s

Still, it might be interesting information to have access to, as someone running the model? Normally we are reading the output trying to build an intuition for the kinds of patterns it outputs when it's hallucinating vs creating someth

Part of the issue with phones is that they are already controlled by the Google/Apple duopoly, and hence heavily optimized for constant distraction and addiction. These laws only cement that duopoly and provide fewer means to build mor

I've been hearing talk for years about a "web of trust" system, that could filter spam simply by having users vouch for eachother and filtering out anyone not vouched for. However, I haven't seen a function system based

I would even call it mid 2020s. I think in a couple years people's attention spans will be so short they won't even finish reading comments.

To me, it's just further evidence that trying to assert ownership over a specific sequence of 1s and 0s is an entirely futile and meaningless endeavor.

I still wonder about that. I don't have a contract with the advertiser to provide genuine data back about what ads I've clicked and what I haven't. The website operator does have such a contract and so cannot hire a bot farm
