I stand to be corrected. Though I tried again just now and this is what Gemini Pro produced: > I'm assuming you mean a Fibonacci sequence generator! I'll write a Python script that includes both an iterative and a recursive way

Yep. I would argue that any sufficiently large system reaches a point where more code is in fact the opposite of what it needs. Nutrition and calories are only useful up-to a point and then we have diminishing and later on negative returns.

Claude Mythos cannot do the porting?

The reason they are long is because these skills are produced mostly by Claude Code and Opus and no sensible human will read these files, let alone build a mental model around them. There is just layers of assumptions that this works - when

This seems like common sense but it does not work in practice. Prompting is just the first part. To get the outcome, you need to have other systems to steer the agent as it get things wrong. Proper deterministic tests work. But there is als

With advances in AI you would've thought the priority would be on automating as much as possible of the non-human facing work and double-down on meaningful customer relationships - but no.

The hacker aesthetics of TUIs, especially around coding agents, is undeniable and the fact that you can mostly run them on any shell (even remote) is neat. But the UX? If you the goal is not to read a single line of the code churned by thes

I am not saying that they do not work. What I am saying is that they do not handle many things that we handle internally and yes our code is not open source so I have the luxury to compare notes without revealing much how we do things... so

I really don't mean to discourage anyone but I find that making your own harness is pretty complex process. We where very naive when we started, thinking this is just a loop, but then it turned out it has all kinds of nuances, edge-cas

We have our own... so I was making the comment form our own experience working with the model. It is a lot trickier to use kimi compared to sonnet - hence why it seems that sonnet is more powerful while I think it is down to the harness.

Kimi is capable model but it needs a very good harness. With a good harness it is a very capable model. But it can get into all kinds of issues (loops and such) something that frontier models do not. As I said, you can blame the model, but

Do you run 20 claud code agent on max for 8 hours a day? :)

by _pdp_ 6mo ago
Correct. However, last time I checked enterprise customers are moving to metered billing. GitHub also decided to so. So it seems the subsidy is coming to an end? I don't know.

I am still baffled by the fact that we have collectively agreed to use agentic harnesses by the same companies that are selling access to their APIs. I mean, I am sure they don't mean it but they have the incentive to burn as much toke

Cool, but yes you can render whatever you want as long as you register an MCP resource and use it as part of a tool call. It is just html in an iframe.

It seems to me more expensive but I might be reading it wrong.

There is noticeable trend across all agentic coding platforms that this situation is no longer sustainable. With this kind of pricing (sonnet 4.6 has 9x multiplier, previously 1x) it begs the question why use Copilot to begin with. You coul

that is ~9% of the total available disk space for baseline phones and laptops for a model that is not that useful.

Some people enjoy working with computers. :) It is not always about the money. It is also about having fun and learning new things. For you, it seems that you are not cut for it judging from what you say. So yes, use LLMs.

What do you expect? We give a non-deterministic system API keys that 99.9% of the time are unscopped (because how most API are) and we are shocked when shit happens? This is why the story around markdown with CLIs side-by-side is such a dum

There are some html rendering issues on the pricing page. I will check it out once fixed.

Let's hope this trends only continues. A few months behind is not such a big deal. That being said, a few months = a year with these models.

AWS has EU data centers too. That is not the problem. The problem is the CLOUD ACT.

We've implemented this type of feature years ago. I can make a couple of comments as a result: 1. Sanitising PII data needs to be de-santised on the client in order to keep the UX somewhat functional. For example, if you say my name is

Such initiatives are very much welcome and I am happy to to start using them. However, my issue is that it appears that many of these models are simply proxied from the specific cloud provider with fees attached which does not bring a lot o
