Is finding the right stocks to invest in an LLM problem? Language models aren't the right fit, I would presume. It would also be insightful to compare this with traditional ML models.

It's really frustrating to see every innovation eventually crammed into advertisements. The brightest minds spend most of their energy figuring out effective ways of serving ads.

You are right. I dug through the document some more. The setup, as mentioned for protected branches [1], should ideally work without much overhead. It does suggest merging back to main, but the FAQ also mentions that the frequency can be de

I was always afraid to switch from Gmail, knowing the impact it would have. But I switched to Fastmail this year and my experience has been comparatively frictionless. My fear was unfounded.

With so many settings spread across multiple sections, especially in Workspace accounts, it's challenging to keep track of how existing settings are affected by each new addition. I generally review these regularly, yet find surprises

The way I understand this, when the agent runs `bd onboard` at startup, it gets the instructions from beads, which might refer to data files in the beads directory. Keeping them in sync via a separate branch would be an unnecessary overhead

The way I read it is beads steers agents to make use of the .beads/ folder to stay in sync across machines. So, my understanding is a dedicated branch for beads data will break the system.

Thanks! It is the structure that matters here, then. Just like you, I ask my agents to keep updating a markdown file locally and use it as a reference during working sessions. This mechanism has worked well for me. I even occasionally ask

I went through the whole readme first and kept wondering what problem the system aims to address. I understood that it is a distributed issue tracker. But how can that lead to a memory upgrade? It also hints at replacing markdown for plans.

Yeah, true. Implementing this would be tricky.

A much-needed project. Making yourself invisible to such privacy-invasive devices will be the need of the day. Of the two approaches you mentioned, blocking/jamming the specific wireless traffic would be pretty interesting, if possible

You can't. I am curious if this adds another layer of latency.

Same here. At first, I thought it was a one-file-based database, which would have been even more commendable.

I am curious to better understand the benchmarks against simple SQLite, especially under typical load. Any level of latency will be an unnecessary overhead.

I would be hesitant to generalise that. There is an inherent tension with its impact on the larger availability of your system. We can't analyse the effect in isolation.

Agreed. Setting up structures for people to provide regular feedback is a must -- I believe this goes without saying. The only downside is that this cannot be done 1:1 with each person. Hence, enabling even the motivated few is a good trade

Eventual consistency arises from necessity -- a need to prioritise AP more. Not every application needs strong consistency as a primary constraint. Why would you optimise for that, at the cost of availability, when eventual consistency is a

That's impressive. Well, I was using the default Gemini 3 Pro. Based on my experience, I am surprised you did not hit the quota limit.

by wowamit 10mo ago
Interesting. I did not face many issues while communicating with Gemini. But I believe these issues will iron themselves out -- Google does feel to have rushed the launch.

I am worried that we are diverging with CLI updates across models. I wish we had converged towards a common functionality and behaviour. Instead, we need to build knowledge of model-specific nuances. The cost of choosing a model is high.

Nice. This is needed at every place where user-generated content is commented and voted on. Any forum that offers the option to report something as abuse or spam should add "AI slop" as an additional option.

When LLMs write and maintain code, does the programming language they use even matter? Anyway, the inputs to LLMs are all in natural language, and what we get is what we wanted built. Is it better to specify the parameters and metrics —aka
