Sorry, could have been more clear. Someone sets up a bot with: on a trigger, read the message, determine which "skill" to use out of a set of behaviors, then let that skill handle all the behavior about whether or not to post. L

If you’re making a bot in which there will be many sub-behaviors, it can be tempting to say “each sub-behavior should do whatever checks it needs, including basic checks for self-reply.” And there lie dragons, because whether a tired or jun

Thanks for sharing this! A question I've grappled with is "how do you make the DOM of a rendered webpage optimal for complex retrieval in both accuracy and tokens?" This could be a really useful transformation to throw in the

Cubase recently revamped their score editor to embed a version of Dorico, so it's better than it was! https://blog.dorico.com/2024/11/cubase-14-score-editor/ I'm still a Logic Pro fan, but credit wh

Per that very article, Sherman will be for support chips for power and peripherals, on legacy 45nm+ nodes. Apple's investing heavily in the TSMC fab in Arizona, due to open in 2027, to have 3nm capabilities for its flagship chips, but

One aspect of this normalization of photo uploading is that, if a platform allows user-generated content that can splash a modal to kids, a bad actor can do things like say “you need to re-verify or you’ll lose all your in-game currency, go

Among professional-ready DAWs, as far as I know, it's unique in its approach. Pro Tools and FL Studio still don't have score rendering or even MusicXML export! Reaper has limited score rendering/engraving support, but minimal

As someone who's loved Logic Pro since the days before Apple bought Emagic, this is amazing that it will be accessible to a broader audience. There are many discussions e.g. https://gearspace.com/board/music-comput

For those worried about irrevocable changes, sometimes a good plan is all the output. Claude Code is very good at `doc = f(doc, incremental_input)` where doc is a code file. It's no different if doc is a _prompt file_ designed to e

Ooh, am I reading correctly that you're using the filesystem as the storage for a "living system prompt" that also includes a living TODO list? That's pretty cool! And on a separate note - it looks like you're makin

I'm unsure of its accuracy/provenance/outdatedness, but this purportedly extracted system prompt for Claude Code provides a lot more detail about TODO iteration and how powerful it can be: https://gist.github.com&#

Perhaps our only saving grace is that many LLMs at varying levels of "dumbness" exist. Is it possible to create an obfuscated quine that exhibits stable detection-avoiding behavior on every frontier model simultaneously, as wel

As a full mea culpa, I once implemented this years ago for an open-source project (non-ad-related) that could have an unpredictable number of steps with unpredictable timing. We went with an algorithm that would add a % of the remaining p

My hot take on this is that there is a business goal to Liquid Glass that extends beyond ego - but it's about the restoration of Apple UI as an exclusive status symbol, not as a usable experience. Apple looked at innovations in hardwar

We’ve had a solution for decades, for conflict resolution to ensure data is never lost to a misconfigured merge - it’s called a filesystem! Put a copy of anything pre-deletion into an archive that’s relatively hidden from view, but have a l

If you're reaching for a tool like this, it's because you don't have a well-defined schema and corresponding dedicated visualization; you're looking at some arbitrary internal or insufficiently-documented transfer-level

IMO one of the big misses for launch, and one of the most untapped markets for VR/AR, was business analytics & visualization. Any manager worth flying to a corporate retreat is worth getting a capex-treatable top-of-the-line device
