I wonder if you paired a few different types of AI together, an LLM agent might be good at strategizing -. E.g. building a strategy on how to handle a scenario. But, it would need to know the entire game manual basically. Then it would pass

My instructions and steering is to force the LLM agent to focus on mocking only system boundaries and outside in unit testing. I've found these two make verbose but good tests that actually prove behavior pretty well. But that was my t

There's a lot of reasons, but it's probably how Google makes most of their money - brand names end up being high value ad targets - at least 6+ years ago when I worked in that sphere of things (ecommerce, primarily). It's leg

Right, but that's because Google permits that. OP is saying Google should simply stop permitting advertising over the real answer.

Fine. Then auto-closing tags? If you have a schema doc, you could do that. If you are writing free-form, then I'd definitely be complicated...? I still see that better than YAML's indentation problem. Relying solely on indentation

If you do manual edits, I find it best to start a new conversation. But if your instructions and documentation is good enough, the new conversations won't have any problems picking up where it needs to be. Having said that, I fear what

It wouldn't need to be if closing tags were allowed to be unnamed. For most cases, we can tell the closing tags easily enough for simpler files: <project>MAML</> <tags> <item>minimal</>

But what's your argument? That phone-based extensions are more vulnerable somehow than desktop extensions? If anything, wouldn't a phone extension be more sandboxed than most desktop environments?

What if you split it into less complex tasks? E.g. use the model to help decompose the task into parts, then help it iterate through it. Gives you more control over the outcome and more steering anyway.

A Qwen3.6-35B-A3B or whatever it's full name is, when on a 3090, can at the very least, with very little fine tuning, compete with Haiku and blows away GPT4.1 (aka, the cheap models). It might keep up with Sonnet 4.5 with some tinkerin

I've heard this before. Then COVID happened and employers didn't have 2-4 months of savings built up, and ended up shuttering due to lack of money immediately. Also, since post COVID, we've had hyper inflation and a locked up

I just bought a 3090 off of Amazon. It was expensive ($1500ish), but covered under prime and an included any reason 90 return policy. But that gives me a good while to determine if it's worth it or not. I've heard good and bad, so

It reminds of early smart phones when the cell providers pulled away from unlimited data...and then they brought it back in s few years. I think competition will get fierce. We see many people are attracted to the price stability of GHCP -

They can engineer the harness to limit the amount it does. When pressing enter, it's be nice to have a "budget" per prompt, much like the model multiplier. When the harness used up the budget, it cleans up and cuts off the wo

It was the only clear model from a user's perspective. Sure, a request may not perform as expected, or end earlier than desired, but it was an agreed to cost that was clear on both sides: 1 enter press in a prompt window = 1 request. I

Over the past month, I started a GHCP ~$12 Pro sub, and found I hit my quota about half way through March or so (but I also wasn't being very...frugal). So I signed up for Claude (~$20 Pro) for a month, and I liked it at first, but the

Haiku is complete crap compared to sonnet in GHCP. A basic task in Haiku takes 3 prompts with a lot of correction. 1 prompt in sonnet. It isn't worth a third of the price if I have to fix it twice.

I think I'm pointing out that it tries to trivialize a cost, as if everyone is just spending $2000+ dollars on coffee a year. If your doing that, of course you can afford a measly $10. You don't need to try to equate $10 to someth

Thanks. That is what I suspected. The 3090's in my area seem pretty expensive for a several year old second hand card - they are the same price as a new 5080. 5090 is pretty expensive (~$4000) to justify it over a $10-50 sub. I guess t

Not really. Groceries have to be planned based on existing pantry state (current manual analysis), and future desired meals. Then produce a delta of what you have and what you want for those different meals. Then you have a shopping list. Y

Chores, yes. If there was a $180/month where ALL my families chores could be accomplished, I'd consider it. That means picking up and cleaning the house after 3 kids and a dog. Grocery shopping. Dishes. Laundry. Chores. Tech crap?

So that leads to a question: Is there a physical box I could buy that an amortize over 5-7 years to be half the API cost? In other words, assuming no price increase, 7 years of that pricing is $15k. Is there hardware I could buy for $7k or

I don't pay for $5 coffee. I make my coffee at home, from my own grind, with just some half and half. Sure, I splurged and paid for maybe a $100 grinder or something, but that is being used for years, meaning the cost per cup is abysma

Denouncing is an odd word to use or expect. A a Christian isn't going to "denounce" the Bible, even if it's the Old Testament. I think the proper way to put it is seeing the Old Testament through the vision of Jesus Chri
