I think a missing key detail that becomes obvious in hindsight is that you needed a lot more structured logic before when llms were not as powerful, but now that these models are being post trained on this type of minimal tool breadth but

We are almost at state of being able to make the hedgefund name generator for the dozens of places doing same thing. Combinations of flow and whatever suffix {ly, drop, wise...} and boom its probably one of these wrappers.

| Kinda surprised they didn’t run into model collapse problems Not sure why you would expect this, all the models started doing this as its much more cost effective to get data for post training don't you remember the first grok rel

The quality is most definitely suspect for how much revenue it brings it and how poorly its allocated. MTA has been full of cronyism and corruption for years and the cycle of kickbacks. Yes, its a complicated service, however you cannot

I've rarely seen any non elementary use cases where just giving access to an MCP server just works, often times you need to update prompts to guide agents in system prompts or updated instructions. Unless you are primarily using MCP f

I mean - social engineering of humans takes many forms that can definitely include linguistics of persuasion etc... But the core thing to me fundamentally remains the same is the LLMs do not have symbolic reasoning, its just next token pred

based on linkedin it looks like they took a failed company thats existed for a year "General agents" which had what just looked like a single browser agent and now have rebranded that.

the need for more web search indices is indeed dire given landscape with agents and providers turning into walled gardens means that independent ones are definitely going to be needed, but just seems insurmountable when building actual inde

seems like you are misappropriating what canaries are useful and used for... they are designed to be lightweight and shallow... hence the name and whole analogy, canaries never were meant to determine if a mine was structurally unsafe etc

Montessori is just an educational framework, I have no idea where you draw broad conclusion that the one or two things you looked at deemed it be "rigid" or little opportunity... Sounds like a random bad apple. There's a co

The premise of this article is almost entirely wrong. The primary driver of overseas manufacturing was that labor and manufacturing costs in the US are higher. The part about USD is misconstrued, countries hold USD because of its stabilit

not really sure how that differentiates since those things you mentioned are ancillary to main value. Also - browser base is insanely cheaper, but looking at the prices this doesn't look like a real company mainly just a way to have

you're missing that open ai and anthropic are finetuning their models for their coding agents, i.e. using rl and annotating datasets and optimizing for them with directly learnable parameters. Cursor is just able to use whatever found

frontier labs do finetuning of their models for software dev using the terminal/cli driven style, annotating datasets to solve programming in this fashion, and fine tuning will almost always make for better performance. Cursor as most

I literally said that they have their own autocomplete models.

by bfeynman 1y ago
not only that but the way that openai and claude have their own foundational models/agents trained to work via CLI, which will basically always be better than just cursors gpt wrapper approach.

by bfeynman 1y ago
The reason is abundantly clear. Cursor was just a GPT wrapper with a nice UI/UX (which was very nice when it came out) it has some other models like autocomplete as well, but its still a wrapper. OpenAI and Anthropic build and train m

Amtrak is not reasonable prices compared to trains in like any other part of the world, except some parts of UK. Other than booking extremely early you're looking at 150$ plus tickets.

the demo video is literally just single thread tool calling to external sources. Indexing data is also a really complex problem more than just adding some elastic search to gmail which also you will find does not scale easily, if that&#x27

that just sounds like you have no idea what MCP is, I don't even like MCPs but I can't even understand what angle you are coming from unless they specifically mean using external MCPs instead of your own, since it is you know open

what's interesting about this one is that their claims about what makes slashy different are almost entirely wrong... almost all the big models let you connect and do all of the things mentioned. Not understanding MCP at all is hilari

reroofing means disassembling and reassembling. You need to deconstruct, put the new roof on, then add the solar back.

there is no reason to pay for cursor when claude is definitely the best coding model and you are paying essentially for just a bigger middle man.

same, so much so that I almost think they have a bot army for astroturfing, because I cannot believe anyone gets value from it over just one of the main providers and google. They dont index data nearly as much or as often as google, they

Is this if you just do the entire setup yourself? I'm pretty sure the math on solar currently is quite bad for the vast majority of people in the USA.

fyi - your application page has a race condition in authn middleware that shows a blip of a dashboard layout without being logged in... For a payments platform that is a little iffy.

Some devil's advocate- AWS receives many support requests that initially go to customer support engineers (in call center environments) who act as first defense for pointless simple issues. But you still have ones escalated to actual e
