Is this not the good kind of problem to have? Subnautica 2 is doing so well that the developers get their earn-out bonus? Seems like pure profit-maximizing/greed!

I can hardly believe my eyes! I helped do some related research specifically concerning thin-film drainage from tubes, way back in my undergraduate days: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2018.04.015

a 90% saving is huge isn't it? for long agent sessions, I would expect a very high cache hit rate unless you're editing the system prompt, tools, or history between turns, or some turns take longer than the cache timeout

So long as perceived LLM skill is still "spiky" - e.g. within a domain, still showing relatively high variation in ability (often depending on the task or user, to be fair), people will continue to dismiss it

In the general case I think this is a great idea - if we do a good job of documenting intent etc. in commit messages, agents have an easier time understanding why lines of code exist with no additional specs/mechanisms/etc. Intere

Coding agents are such a congested space right now that to me this mostly reads as an advertisement.

Interesting that non-salty water didn't make the string conductive(?) enough - I'd have thought that there might have been enough soluble stuff in string. Also I believe this person runs the ISP I use (and I couldn't speak mo

For me, a lot of the draw is that it's cheaper than managed db services for small/toy projects of mine (that I don't want to use dynamo db for) - that and in a previous job it was useful as relatively temporary multi-tenant s

The partner for these projects has a benchmark that the top frontier LLM labs seem to be running on their new model releases - I think there's _some_ value to these numbers in helping people compare and contrast model performance. htt

I think that "manipulate people for financial and political gain" is an outcome of what social media companies actually do - I was under the belief that in a general sense, they want to maximise the time people spend on their apps

Both miracles are illness-recovery related and feel to me quite like regression to the mean, but I can imagine this is somewhat of a strategic move from the Catholic church to bring some relatability into things.

For me, the USP Warp used to have was generating shell commands from prompts inside the terminal - but Cursor has had this in its embedded terminal for a while now so increasingly I find myself using Ghostty instead

> One of the consequences of this is that we should always consider asking the LLM the same question more than once, perhaps with some variation in the wording. Then we can compare answers, indeed perhaps ask the LLM to compare answers f

Anecdotally I think I have heard "what all" most commonly spoken by Indian English speakers - though that's probably quite far outside the scope of this site.

By no means are better background agents "mythical" as you claim. I didn't bother to mention them as it is easy enough to search for asynchronous/background agents yourself. Devin is perhaps the one that is most fully fe

I've worked somewhere where CORBA was used very heavily and to great effect - though I suspect the reason for our successful usage was that one of the senior software engineers worked on CORBA directly.

I have a biased opinion since I work for a background agent startup currently - but there are more (and better!) out there than Jules and Copilot that might address some of the author's issues.

I remember being somewhat sold on this story by the PinePhone, but it seems like it might not be possible to buy one new nowadays. Having just looked up the PinePhone again for the first time in a while, it does look like the Ubuntu Touch p

I think the budget play is to get a cheap refillable fountain pen and some cheap fountain pen ink (I bought some Diamine bottled ink about 10 years ago and I've still got plenty left). More expensive fountain pens are indeed luxury pro

For coding agents, evaluations are tricky - thorough evaluation tasks tend to be slow and/or expensive and/or display a high degree of variance over N attempts. You could run a whole benchmark like SWE Bench or Terminal Bench agai
