Even ignoring determinism, with traditional source code you have a durable, human-readable blueprint of what the software is meant to do that other humans can understand and tweak. There's no analogy in the case of "don't rea

Wait, so you're a radiologist and you're using software you vibecoded to generate radiology reports for real patients? Is that, like, allowed?

So scary to go from diagnosis to passing in such a short time. Cherish every sunrise.

What does "better context engineering" mean here? How/why are the existing token windows "unreliable"?

Only skimmed the paper, but I'm not sure how to think about "length of task" as a metric here. The cases I'm thinking about are things that could be solved in a few minutes by someone who knows what the issue is and ho

Regularly trying to use LLMs to debug coding issues has convinced me that we're _nowhere_ close to the kind of AGI some are imagining is right around the corner.

100 requests per minute per what? Like if there's a third party app built against the API, is it 100 rpm for each user of the app, or across the entire app's usage?

I imagine there's ways to curtail that (like detecting non-human users).
