One issue I often run into with this stuff is the tightly coupled nature of things in the real world. I’ll fashion an example: Let’s say you break a job down into 3 tasks: A, B and C. Doing one of those tasks is too much for an LLM to accom

I don’t think that’s clear at all. In fact the proficiency of LLMs at a wide variety of tasks would seem to indicate that language is a highly efficient encoding of human thought, much moreso than people used to think.

I recall Apple contributing a Metal backend for Cycles back when the M1 Pro/Max came out. That was a big deal, made it actually possible to do renders on a Mac in non-insane amounts of time.

I get that you’re trying to help, but trying to find a bureaucratic/technical workaround through original research and proffering it as advice is not a super helpful thing to do right now. At this phase of the game, the best advice you

I’m saying if you try to use Wireshark or something to grab the session token Claude Code is using and pass it to another tool so that tool can use the same session token, they’ll probably eventually find out. All it would take is having Cl

by Uehreka 1y ago
The reason a lot of people don’t do this is because Claude Code lets you use a Claude Max subscription to get virtually unlimited tokens. If you’re using this stuff for your job, Claude Max ends up being like 10x the value of paying by the

No I don’t think it’s a business model thing, I’m saying it may be a technical limitation of LLMs themselves. Like, that that there’s no way to “order a la carte” from the training process, you either get the buffet or nothing, no matter ho

If I understand transformers properly, this is unlikely to work. The whole point of “Large” Language Models is that you primarily make them better by making them larger, and when you do so, they get better at both general and specific tasks

Oh no, I miscommunicated my Wittgenstein joke so badly it’s being interpreted as a Rene Magritte joke!

Here you go: (holds up phone with a photo of of Wittgenstein on the screen) Ah shoot, that’s not what you meant is it? Just use more precise language next time and I’m sure you’ll be understood.

People always talk about shorting like it’s an efficient and reliable way to make money being right when everyone else is wrong. But it isn’t. When you go long, you can still make money by being “sort of right” or “obliquely right” or “some
