I agree with this. One way that I will go further is to say that “understanding of the whole system“ is a pretty fraught phrase. One person‘s holistic understanding is another person‘s gnostic gobble-de-gook. Realistically, they are all ess

Remember that you can burn human intelligence but you can also burn technical capacity. Israel has shown itself willing to burn technical capacities to strike (see also: the pager attacks). I would also submit that forcing Iranian traffic e

Call me crazy, but I think the folks at newgrounds will figure out what to do with this new flash.

I don’t have examples but I have an LLM driven project with like…2500 tests and I regularly need to prune: * no-op tests * unit tests labeled as integration tests * skipped tests set to skip because they were failing and the agent didn’t wa

Well, look on the bright side. This won’t be a problem for long.

So about 150 thousand people starred OpenClaw, then asked their bot to sign up for an account to star it again? I'm not trying to be obtuse, I'm just trying to get a sense of what we're talking about. Because if it is 1 perso

So the idea is some subset of OpenClaw users got a second GitHub account to vote twice? Why?
253.
by adampunk 8mo ago
I think the implication here is that if we can’t find evidence of or motivation for companies paying to inflate their star counts, then we should cool it on the accusation that magically fraud has appeared in this case. We also should remem

It’s really weird that this article walks past the 2 likely explanations and then declares them both insufficient in favor of an assertion that maybe it’s not any fun. Speculative generation is expensive and time consuming and in most cases

Thinking is a big word that sweeps up a lot of different human behavior, so I don't know if it's right to jump to that; HOWEVER, explanations of LLMs that depend heavily on next-token prediction are defunct. They stopped being fun

OK, so I just stopped in there and I saw two projects that looked like they were generated by AI. The real flood seems to be scam blog posts. I guess from reading about it, It would seem like this is a four-alarm fire. But I don’t see that

I think the looping part is what stops this from being a practical solution. If we imagine that the actual code required some iteration in order to put down, I don’t know that we could say there is a one shot equivalent without testing that

This unironically rules. The future will be weird.

Yes, you’re right. It’s the children who are wrong. Why is it so difficult to imagine that something that looks popular and fun is popular and fun? Also, really who is paying for stars on open claw? Who benefits here?
260.
by adampunk 8mo ago
It’s really not rocket science. Like other people have said people are having fun with their computers; that’s why it’s popular. That’s also why a bunch of people on forums throwing their hands up and saying “I don’t understand it. Why don’

I suppose we are all caught up in this, but it is almost tragic to see that we are fetishizing the last mile of text. Research is a real part of the writing process. Spelling and grammar fixes are real parts of the writing process. I guess

>that's actually an ad / SEO spam for "xfive AI Lab" Yeah. This seems to be the case for lots of these vague "anxiety about AI, resolved by being a better engineer" articles.

I just cannot for the life of me understand the problem that this is solving. The only way that makes any sense is if sessions are atomic along with commits. If a session results in many commits in this becomes a fundamentally incomplete re

The problem is “hallucination” might mean this: You tell the agent “go do thing A” the agent replies “sure thing buddy, I’ll do that”, noodles, then reports “I’ve done that thing!” MEANWHILE, in reality, the agent has done something totally

An AI is never going to make me feel bad for asking a "stupid" question, nor will it ever behave as though I have to earn the right to ask a sophisticated one. The answer is, in some cases, almost immaterial. Building in students

It's exhaust. Retrospectively, chat is essentially worthless. You're going to chase hallucinations down conversations that maybe didn't even impact code.

Just out of curiosity, what session size do you think we're talking about here?
