Literacy is the actual skill on display here. You can make a model/agent as powerful as you want and it still won't be able to recover the author's intent if it wasn't even implied. Information theory still applies. No a

If cancellation involves abandoning server-side state, then calling an explicit action on the server could make sense. Buttons submit forms (aka mutate state on the server), links navigate to resources. HN gets itself twisted into a knot ov

This is really neat. I think CSG is one of the more intuitive ways to build 3d environments (especially 'indoor' ones). No geometry is ever destroyed in a proper CSG workflow. A hierarchy of brushes makes it possible to very rap

I agree with the author if we are trying to use this as some sort of absolute scale of confidence. It only develops meaning when we control for many other variables. Looking at confidence scores across two different models or prompts is pro

I have a hard time with the Instant Pot case. If you have their first generation product, you never have to buy another one. This is not really worse on purpose. They made a product so good no one ever bought it again and they couldn't

Insulation is way more important than cooling capacity. Instead of adding a 2nd condensing unit, try adding spray foam and double glazed windows. I can keep my 2400 sqft Texas home ice cold with a small 3 ton system. There are similarly siz

Rebase is scary if you are conflicting on many items. I have a simple rule where if the rebase cannot be solved within a few commit rewrites that I will restart the branch from latest master. If you are suffering from really difficult rebas

A single bit of HBM consumes 2-3x the manufacturing capacity that a single bit of conventional DRAM does.

I recommend starting with deep water culture if you want to get into this sort of thing. Aquaponics is like hardcore mode. Shopping for fish so that you can grow plants is a really neat idea, but not where I would start if I didn't

Luna is the most impressive model released so far by any provider. It's perfect for doing all the low-level tool calling and developing hypotheses. Terra is great for the humans to talk to. Sol is really only useful if you need to do m

I think it's way too easy to be deceptive with these benchmarks now. You don't even have to "train" the model on a new variant each time. The base models are powerful enough. All you need is a naughty little markdown doc

Headless execution exists and is one of the simplest ways to get at this experience. The biggest issue with unity is that the editor (even when headless) is designed to take an exclusive lock over the physical project directory. This can be

Letting the agent take screenshots of the scene is not effective. A human needs to be in that loop. You can get primitive layouts working if you feed it orthographic projections from the 6 faces, but it falls apart once you need to start lo

The primary design goal of the stealth mechanism is to get to the target undetected. By the time a radar signature shows up, the aircraft have ideally already dropped their bombs. Being detected too late might as well be the same as not bei
