I saw someone in a different thread describe Google product/tool strategy as a: “monkey knife fight” And tbh I can’t really argue with that.

how effective is RTK for you? worth using?

Its arguing that that source code that affects the behaviour of something should be easily discoverable from the point/points its behaviour affects. or alternatively more indirection/obfuscation is worse. Its not so much about sam

End users and even other programs/extensions can load rules to alter your styles. I think thats about as opposite of locality of behaviour as it gets. (no judgment on customization on being good/bad). With the rest I don't re

Or non binary. How much are these the same and how.

Use multiple trees.

by aleksiy123 5mo ago
that’s exactly the part that is anti locality of behaviour. I don’t want/need cascade. I only care about components and building up from them. And I would rather have it be explicit over implicit and scoped/encapsulated. Call it c

Sorry maybe that wasn’t the best example. It’s not really about separation of files. But how they connect. In sql your code may be in a seperate file but your app code is still clearly calling the sql. The inlining vs not inlining is just a

I think this assertion is where most of the conflict comes from. There is a fair amount of people that disagree with the premise that it should be separated in that way (Including me). I personally like this essay by the author of htmx on t

Tbh I have no idea, I’m mostly thinking about it from what I can do when using the frontier models, so I don’t think such low level changes are available to me. But another dumb idea I had was a set of random words inspired by Terry Davis g

I’ve been thinking about how to get creativity out of llms, apart from temperature. The thing is even humans have a hard time with creativity. Is it really surprising that llms don’t just one shot a unique story when they are all starting f

thats just a large project tho? not necessarily a mono repo. A mono repo doesn't necessarily mean large compile times, because it depends on the projects and their dependencies within that repo.

Went through a similar phase, I think a mix of 2. and 3. is good for a small team or solo dev. Im throwing in a bit of homelab as well by adding some action runners and models on my desktop as well. But cloudflare is great value for small t

It’s also just a useful exercise in general, especially for getting feedback for models and harnesses. I’ve been thinking about setting up a non trivial project to use as a benchmark for any plugins and/or harness changes I make. Havin

Yes but more declarative vs imperative. I say what the llm says how.

It’s already here the question is just to what extent? Are google search results modifying your software at runtime? Take or agent chat for example, the output text is a ui, agents can generate charts and even constrained ui elements. Isn’t

There’s a whole range between completely random and completely rule based deterministic. Somewhere in between that I guess is the varying levels of intelligence more likely able to make the “right” decision for anything you throw at it.

by aleksiy123 6mo ago
Agreed, however imo there is def some problems unique to Google which is making the internal experience less than ideal. Hoping they can figure it out sooner rather than later.

Self improving, doesn’t necessarily imply singularity right? There still could be hard constraints to make singularity intractable or just such a long time horizon it’s not practical right?

I was wondering if someone was going to allow payments through CLI at some point. But jokes aside having a central place to manage billing and accounts for deploying infra across multiple providers is pretty awesome imo. if they have a terr

Yes, but I think Google was playing that strategy from essentially day 1 or very early in this AI race, where as the others are there now because of their lack of access of compute. The general narrative I would read on HN/others, was

I’m starting to think that googles strategy is a bit different then the other frontier providers. Focusing more on performance to compute efficiency over pure performance. And maybe that’s why Gemini is (seemingly) lagging behind? Other pro

I feel like I’m missing something. There is someone that is making the decision right? Or are you just saying the person placing the cameras is decoupled from the person making the decision to aggregate them all. But I still feel like the a

Yes, but more specifically putting them into a sort of contradiction of their beliefs or arguments. Doesn’t even have to be correct, but it can be confusing and cause people to say something they don’t actually mean if they dont stop and ac

While I think this isn’t great. Why is the camera there in the first place?? Presumably there are people that have access to it. And if you are demoing software that connects to cameras, then someone gave the sales guy access to those camer

Probably a mix of heuristics, keywords and simple ml model. Then maybe a second gate with a lightweight llm? Edit: actually Gcp, azure, and OpenAI all have paid apis that you can also use. But I don’t think they go into details about the ex

Does this still work on newer models? The reasoning on why it works is pretty interesting. A sort of moral/linguistic trap based on its beliefs or rules. Works on humans as well I think.

Where is the arrogance? and I thought talk/slides where interesting. And wdym even mean "lead the direction of tech". Its just people trying to build a product based on their views/vision. Others are free to build their

My guesses are: hardware capacity constraints is going to be the big one Effective caching is another, I bet if you start hitting cold caches the whole things going to degrade rapidly. The ground is probably shifting pretty rapidly. Power u
