Fairly sure that your agent is using tools like “edit file” behind the scenes. The post is describing the fundamentals of how agent harnesses work, models don’t exactly have a way to edit files just sending an API request to and forth the p

I use tap to pay probably 90% of the time in the US these days. The 10% of holdouts are either very old mom&pop shops (though many of these have largely migrated to Toast or similar systems) or… massive retailers who didn't want to

I think self-verification can work in some ways. For example, I (well, an LLM) recently wrote some caching optimizations for a particular filesystem intensive workload on a cluster. This is an internal thing, not customer facing, for contex

Nailed it. As the blog post says, GUI’s aren’t normally written for nerds. They exist, but it’s not normal. So even professional tools all follow industry design and product trends which are too simplistic, don’t give you the info you need,

Opus 5 is particularly bad. Opus 4.8 to a lesser extent. It was extremely clear by the code comments in my colleague’s PRs.

A normal agentic loop will have the agent using a type system and basic tests to do some basic validation of changes. A good agentic loop would give the agent a very easy way to verify if it’s on the right track. I think agents are better t

I’d rather it was published for free in a blog post than sold without my knowledge. As a linear user. This shit doesn’t matter, everyone in the industry know these kinds of stats are being tracked, I’m happy for a company to be transparent

It’s wild. I was trying to find a cheap bookshelf with a specific style the other day. Firstly, I couldn’t filter by exact width. It autogenerated a width range (like 24-30”) which was different on subsequent searches and several inches awa

Oh, it’s really simple why this happened: 1. People do not like email-based patch processes. 2. GitHub made everything dead simple, and free. Lots of Open Source projects have flourished because GitHub is both easy to use and makes collabor

More expensive API calls though, I imagine. It’s also not that small scale. Sure, it’s no Google, but certainly higher scale than most companies using them

Because paying business customers are a lot more sensitive to this type of change rolling out. They are particular about how they want their shit hosted. Which is totally fair. People on the free tier probably a lot more interested in free

Wipr is the best adblocker on iOS that I’ve tested. Indie dev, gives you a lot for free, has a way to block outside of web views too. Big fan, I never had consistent ad blocking experience on iOS until I used it

I think Wipr is also very trustworthy. It’s developed by an indie dev who’s responsive over email, and gives you a lot for free. And it has a $5/yr subscription (or one time payment) that unlocks system-wide ad blocking, not just in

I mean does it necessarily imply that? You could pay just the minimum payment for a very long time with no consequences, I think. The main problem is you’d hit the credit limit and would have super high interest payments. But even then the

It’s way harder to read because most of Claude’s sentences are hardly communicating anything at all, or are just completely inscrutable. I feel like academic papers are just boring

No, I’m not interested in fighting my model all day long. Plus is fucking annoying to talk to and collaborate with, so I’m not using it when Sol 5.6 is about 1000 times better in that regard. I have colleagues who spent a lot of time trying
