Yeah many tasks are already saturated. For small interactive code changes (I call this power coding like power armor), we got there about a year, maybe year and a half ago — with the small models of the time. And small models have the adv

What do you mean by adversarially here?

It's like a photo. For me at least, it's kind of ghostly and transparent and appears briefly overlaid on what I can see with my physical eyes. When I was younger the images were more solid and stable. Teachers often complained tha

Interesting, could you elaborate please? What does dependency mean in this context? That you become over specialized for a niche?
816.
by andai 3mo ago
Yeah that's a great point. In OpenRouter's model fusion article found that just running Opus twice (and combining the results) gave similar results to one Fable on a research task, because there is so much variability in what it d

First of all the necessary context: this was a hobby project, and I am not a professional software engineer. In this particular instance I'm not sure what happened. I don't know where it got the idea from to do it backwards. My be

I'm working on a multiplayer game, and realized I could scale a server further by letting clients handle collisions, and then just verifying those (instead of the server checking all collisions for all games taking place on the server)

I had Sonnet volunteer some tests last year, which really impressed me at the time. It was just a couple console.log statements that printed green checkmarks and "tests passed!"

I keep posting this but it keeps being relevant. I had an agent implement a feature completely backwards. It wrote a whole bunch of tests proving the correctness of the implementation. All the tests passed. The really interesting thing to m

Maybe try the "use desktop site" option in your phone's browser? Old reddit works on my phone either way.

Has anyone looked into mental health, inflammation and keto? I looked into it a while back and it seemed promising. I spent a while reading a bunch of papers on it. First of all, keto lowers inflammation. Inflammation harms cognitive functi

I had a funny experience recently, during a vibe coding bender. This was a few weeks ago when these very impressive new models came out, a whole new class of intelligence and autonomy! So I wanted to see how far I would get, letting the com

A little bird may have dropped the entire system prompt on my desk. They do customisation of the prompt per user and session. (Also apparently per IP address, based on a recent post here...) You could still get a lot of savings if you put a

My favourite quote on this subject... I forgot by who. "They don't think, they only seem to think. And likewise, they won't replace the majority of human labor, they will only seem to do so."

I'm not sure. I think I had a reasonable amount of metacognition as a child. I remember being eight years old, and having a really cool idea but forgetting it. So I devised a plan to retrieve it. I'm just going to rewind time. I&#

If a tech company can't even do basic math — or rather, openly cares so little about accuracy — does that sound like a place you would want to work though?

If you were screwing around with Auto-GPT in 2023, you'll hit four years of "agentic" experience next year. Of course, there's not much overlap between that and the way it works now. But then again, I have the same feeli

That is so cool. I don't know what I would do with this but I want one!

The implication here is that the only gains left to be had are from scale. That we are already maximally efficient. If that's true, then how has OpenAI repeatedly bragged about reducing the cost of their models by orders of magnitude?

I shouldn't win too hard, because then I'll lose?

So this is cool. I recently asked Opus and Fable to "say hi" in Claude code. The "hi" cost roughly $0.50 for Opus and $1 for Fable, mostly due to the length of the system prompt. I'm eager to test the new version. I

When I was young, a friend asked me, "Hey, you speak three languages, which one do you think in?" I paused, confused, and replied, "People think in words?" Fast forward a decade or so, in my twenties, I had lost most of

It's funny, it's a mixed bag. Some of the designs are beautiful, and some seem to be inspired by that abstract communist psychological torture cell.

A year ago a new Best Model came out, and I was very excited. I tested it on a simple programming task (which required making 3 trivial changes in 3 files). The model did fine. Then I tested its little brother, the older, smaller variant of
