GPT 5.2 in a simple while loop runs circles around most things right now. It was released barely a month ago and many developers have been on vacation/hibernating/etc. during this time. I give it 3-4 more weeks before we start to

This kind of thought policing is getting to be exhausting. Perhaps we need a different kind of push back. Do you know what my use case is? Do you know what kind of success rate I would actually achieve right now? Please show me where my mis

I would agree that OAIs GPT-5 family of models is a phase change over GPT-4. In the ChatGPT product this is not immediately obvious and many people would strongly argue their preference for 4. However, once you introduce several complex too

You can do parametric for games too. Building an entire scene using code/data can be very productive when you are trying to tune complex concerns like travel time between arbitrary points on the map (balance). Parametric also makes thi

Humans run hot too. Once you factor in the supply chain that keeps us alive, things become surprisingly equivalent. Eating burgers and driving cars around costs a lot more than whatever # of watts the human brain consumes.

I also use this as a simple heuristic: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commits/main/ There exist only two commits. I've never seen a "real" project that looks like this.

Batteries are such an incredible oversight if we are trying to control for kinetic energy. 100 watts for an hour ~= 36000 watts for ten seconds. Every fully charged laptop roughly has enough energy to bring an automobile up to highway speed

Container ships tend to be fairly slow to respond and may not function as expected during a nuclear war. The only way for this to work as a retaliatory measure is to have the weapons already in place at the target locations. Now, imagine

Delivery of nuclear weapon via shipping container might seem like a deterrent but it's kind of the opposite thing. For something to be a deterrent it must have a few properties. Delivery taking a non-zero amount of time and producing a

The system prompt for the drone is hilarious to me. These models are horrible at spatial reasoning tasks: https://github.com/kxzk/snapbench/blob/main/llm_drone/src/ma... I've been working

It's effectively the same thing as a separate computer because it's not your problem if the sandbox becomes broken. It's not your responsibility to maintain its integrity.

> a robust sandbox for agents to operate in I would like to humbly propose that we simply provision another computer for the agent to use. I don't know why this needs to be complicated. A nano EC2 instance is like $5/m. I suspe

I've been using incandescent more often. All my vanity lights are 40w appliance bulbs now. The difference at night is remarkable. The LED is just too much even at 2700k. I still prefer LED for high power situations like br30/40 ca

It was definitely more of a stick than carrot situation. The issue with multiple dialogs is that the operator could claim that they were confused with conflicting wording and the implications of things like "Confirm" vs "Can

I learned about the consequences of overloading the human operator when working on the primary UI for a manufacturing business. A natural inclination is to put things like confirmation dialogs around dangerous activities. I had managers tel

The specific way in which we invoke the subagents is critical to the performance of the system. If we use a true external call stack and force proper depth first recursion, the effective context can be maintained to whatever depth is desire

I'm beginning to question the notion that multi agent patterns don't work. I think there is something extra you get with a proposer-verifier style loop, even if both sides are using the same base model. I've had very good suc

I think .NET is Microsoft's best product, followed very closely by MSSQL. SQL Server has some incredible 3rd party tools build up around it. 3~4 Red Gate tools can one-shot your entire devops lifecycle. I still prefer SQLite for anythi

This note isn't going to stop even 1% of the jackasses who would have submitted AI slop. There are much better ways to communicate the intended message. This comes off as childish to me and makes me think that I'd rather not contr

I am firmly in the opposite direction to parallelism. I don't think it's a good thing to chase. One "slow" agent can outpace many fast ones if they're making a lot of mistakes. Depth first search via recursive dispa

Does google drive apply any transformation over the PDF, or are you effectively loading the same document in your browser on the round trip?

Perhaps it's not a competitive game. Maybe the better approach is to have all players cooperate against the environment.

I think this is a really cool idea. What would stop us from making it multiplayer and having two or more human players compete over common resources & goals?

No one doing this for money intends to train models that will never be amortized. Some will fail and some are niche, but the big ones must eventually pay for themselves or none of this works. The economy will destroy inefficient actors in
