I became an auto mechanic because I love machining heads, and dropping oil pans to inspect, and fitting crankshafts in just right, and checking fuel filters, and adjusting alternators. If I wanted to work on electric power systems I would h

XSD was (is) not so easy to adopt, but I don't agree that it's a monstrosity. Schema are complicated. XSD is a response to that reality. The XML ecosystem is messy. But people don't need to adopt everything. Ignore Relax-NG,

For one thing, it’s a text file and not a server. That makes it simpler.

yes, similar.

I've had the exact opposite experience. After including in my prompt "don't write any code yet" (or similar brief phrase), Gemini responds without writing code. Using Gemini 2.5 or 3, flash.

The US doesn’t need large reserves of oil. The US is an energy exporter. The country is limiting investment in solar and wind, ON PURPOSE. This is crony capitalism. This is Trump shoring up support from oil companies. Mr Trump has purposefu

People, not only patrons of HN, like simple answers. They look at clouds and see the patterns they want to see. It turns out things are usually more complicated than that.

Do you know how Google makes money?

I would be able to absorb your perspective better if it were structured as a bulleted list, with SUMMARY STRINGS IN BOLD for each bullet. And if you had used the word "Crucially" at least once.

That's true. Probably not compiling and using HTTP Range made a big difference, but we don't know, do we? Quantifying these differences, rather than just listing them, would make the post much more valuable.

At first I read “enormous longterm commitments” as customers committing to OpenAI. But you are saying it’s the reverse.
45.
by PantaloonFlames 10mo ago
You are mostly missing the point. You’re saying you get value out of what OpenAI is offering you. Thats not at issue here. The question is, does OpenAI get value out of the exchange? You touched on it ever so briefly: “as long as inference

DCE STILL WORKS? Where!??

Yes to all of this. Also the “us” is ever-changing in a large enough system. There are always people joining and leaving the team. Always, many people are approximately new, and JSON lets them discover more easily.

by PantaloonFlames 10mo ago
Yes. Proto makes sense when the request rate is much higher and the network is constrained. Otherwise, json is sufficient.

If TOOL_X needs $DATA and that data is not available in context, nor from other tools, then the LLM will determine that it cannot use or invoke TOOL_X. It won't try. About the TOOL_Z and TOOL_W scenario. It sounds like you're aski

Or, why not let the LLM write the tool and give it to the agent? Taking it one step further the tool could be completely ephemeral - it could have a lifetime of exactly one chat conversation.

100%, I don’t really get the justification for golang, today. But. Looking forward we can imagine a world of agents, agents everywhere , including embedded into systems that are built in go. So I guess it would be more suitable for that.

by PantaloonFlames 11mo ago
This is a golang variant of the already released “agent development kit” in Java and python. And… none of them are Gemini specific. You can use them with any model you like, including Gemini. I’m not an expert but comparing it to langgraph,

The meaning of the words “Max effort” doesn’t change or vary. It’s just that some people have a max that is lower than others, or at some points in your life your effort is lower than at others, as dictated by physical, mental, or psycholo

You are neglecting the optimizer approach of working while walking; etc. Also, hygiene during the commute - just shave and brush your teeth on the bus. And sleeping while bathing is a real time saver.

45% slower means..? Suppose native code takes 2 units of time to execute. “45% slower” is??? Would it be 45% _more time?_ What would “45% _faster_” mean?

> And what I mean by taste here is simply the honed ability to distinguish mediocrity from excellence. This will be highly subjective, … It is not about aesthetics , from my reading. You brought that connotation into the conversation.
