And how exactly does the agent harness surface ALL the right places that need to be updated, and reason about functions and APIs?

Here is a serious question.. Can we sell into the hype cycle and on the way down with this: https://safebots.ai/costs.html

Most work is not coding. And also, people have it wrong… their models are not the main problem anymore. It’s the RAG

"But agentic work is global and transformative: the LLM must change the system itself, which requires understanding dependencies, invariants, interactions, and downstream consequences. This is causal reasoning, not pattern extension.

Best Claude Code daily-driver guide I’ve read. Though I’ve only read two. The “let Claude write rules for itself” CLAUDE.md pattern is the highest-ROI habit in there. Buth here’s the thing. The assumption underneath: this works when Claude

Actually, it's not async programming. It's only async programming the way JS does it... which is unwinding the entire stack, and then starting another stack on the next tick. Instead, many languages have fibers / coroutines &

If anyone is interested, you can implement something like that with a few lines of code on the front end. We expose a function that generates a uniformly-distributed hash that you can use for A/B testing and other uses: Q.Data.vari

It wouldn’t be exactly the same, because if you had all that mining capacity and 99% magically took a holiday, there is now enough mining power to take over the network anytime. It’s not secure. Same with AI. Now that the Mythos and other m

Oh, and neural networks doing a huge number of floating point operations per word is not energy-heavy? Training these neural networks every few months isn’t energy-heavy? Both Bitcoin and these large models weren’t “designed to be energy-he

This sounds to me like the Bitcoin bros. Yes, the first-gen technology was very energy-heavy, but afterwards people (bitcoin maxis and people who held the bag) kept insisting that all new technology is “shitcoins” and that everyone should j

Big fan of this project. Three years ago, I interviewed Ian Clarke about his upcoming Freenet rewrite. He's the original "OG" of decentralized content networks. We go into detail regarding its architecture on the podcast: ht

a good case can be made that use of C++ is a SOX violation So Linus was right? But for a second reason too: C++ is a horrible language. It’s made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where

It's very new because it uses trustless technology at an entire community level, and UBI to put money into circulation, rather than letting the bank underwriters quietly choose winners and losers. You're not supposed to give banks

No. Bitcoin is one coin for everyone. The attempts to create "colored coins" back in 2013 fell flat, then it became a "store of value", and punted on being a "peer to peer payment system". https://av

These models will become more expensive over time, it's functionally impossible for them not to, they just want to capture the market before they have to stop selling at a huge loss. They could have said the same about transistors. P

This an issue of growing ontologies and taxonomies. I have found that the best answer I have is: 1) Gossip and use the existing ontology and add new items only if genuinely needed 2) Combine synonyms, sometimes using vector embedding and co

Yes and even if you are paying, you’re still the product! That’s whats happens in two sided markets. Everyone’s the product. The original adage of “if you’re not paying, you’re the product” doesn’t necessarily rule out the converse. The fac

It’s just a compiled list of well-known initiatives with named sources and actors. Seriously… lists like that are perfect for LLMs to compile.

Shimman is wrong. The goal is much bigger, and almost the opposite of what he thinks. It's trying to solve the problem of people chasing "slivers" of money and selling out, which happened in Web2 and Web3: https://
