Me too, have been trying to crack this for so long!

If your instructions are being ignored you may need a new model or harness.

Yes but the optimisation described has not right?

Is this something that will show up in Ollama any time soon to increase context size of local models?

As well as pair programming with the AI, you can explicitly put those principles in AGENTS.md and the stochastic code generator will pay attention and be less verbose.

Thanks for writing this piece - devs need to hear it!

Many advanced economies have seen declining energy use per capita, and flat energy use overall, in the last few decades. It is not unreasonable to assume this trend will continue and spread as more countries become wealthy.

"I don't like people who prepare for the worst, but I now realise I should have prepared for the worst." Why cringe at something people do privately in their own time that doesn't affect you? Why cringe at people who wan

Hey HN! I got tired of waiting for one particular GitHub Projects feature, so I built my own mini replacement for solo projects. It's a Kanban implementation in a single HTML file that operates out of a single Markdown text file on you

That's epic, congratulations on your foresight!

Rumour huh.

Probably true. Asking a tech company to stay good is like asking a lion to stay vegetarian.

Will update it, thanks!

In addition to a enabling it in this onerous way, this should be a thing you can set when you first set up the phone after factory default: "I am technologically literate and I accept the risks of side loading indefinitely." If it

I measured my output: - 1.5x more commits. - 2x more issues closed. The commits are real. I'm not doing "vibe coding" or even agentic coding. I'm doing turn-by-turn where I micromanage the LLM, give specific implementat

Do you have a link to the study? How does that line up with "100% contained traces of hazardous chemicals"?

If LLMs can internally do "step through the program" like a human does, they will become vastly better programmers. Interesting that they had to make it functional and immutable because they can't mutate the past tokens.

I was lucky enough to see Sir Tony Hoare speak at EuroPython in 2009. This was his last slide: One Day - Software will be the most reliable component of every product which contains it. - Software engineering will be the most dependable of

It's also working in Ollama now. The 27B model is absolutely cracked on an RTX 3090. Feels close to frontier American models for writing code.

Time to switch.

No it doesn't. It replaces things that have a lot of evidence, with things that don't. You can test this yourself.

They are trained to respond to certain topics in a way that does not align with real world evidence. Pretty much the opposite of what you want in such a tool. This is trivial to test and verify yourself. Just pick any topic you think has a

Thanks this is a great summary of the tradeoffs!

This type of centralisation presents a classic tail risk. It's wonderful and works perfectly well for everybody and the government does nothing wrong with it. It's all fine and good until the day it isn't. Some authoritarian

That makes a lot of sense. Staying hands on is key.
