This is basically "reactive UI" foundation. The complexities come from effects (now managed via hooks)

Small. We're dealing with financial accounts, holdings and transactions. So a user might have 10 accounts, thousands of holdings, 10s of thousands of transactions. Plus a handful of supplemental data tables. Then there is market data

We have various data sources (which is another benefit of this approach). Data from the application DB is currently pulled using the FE apis which handle tenant isolation and allow the application database to deal with the load. I think pg

Idk but I named everything in the related code "duckpond" :)

We just create mini data "ponds" on the fly by copying tenant isolated gold tier data to parquet in s3. The users/agent queries are executed with duckdb. We run this process when the user start a session and generate an STS t

For any sufficiently large codebase, the agent only ever has a very % of the code loaded into context. Context engineering strategies like "skills" allow the agent to more efficiently discover the key information required to prod

How is it useful when what we are seeing is insiders place massive bets immediately before the event resolves. Does gaining this information a few hours early provide value to society that offsets the impact of normalizing gambling and att

If it's not also running every tool response through this detection/masking, then it's not really "protecting" any agent use cases where they will be potentially reading files/data.

I created a python package to test setups like this. It has a generic tech name so you ask the agent to install it to perform a whatever task seems most aligned for its purposes (use this library to chart some data). As soon is it imports

There an interesting series on the modernization of diablo[0] that dives deep into the game mechanics that makes d1 and d2 "better" games than d3 and d4. Basically it all comes down to creating tension, power variable spikes, and

Most organizations are going to be self hosting on aws, gcp or azure... So as long as you use their inference services as your LLM then you can keep it all within the private network

MCPs are useful to deploy internally as an agent tool gateway for your organization or customers. That's a totally different use case than how most of us interact with agents (claude code / cursor). That said, there's only li

Seems pretty naive to think that this type of thing is happening in favor of the "everyday person".

Insider trading is so trivial on the prediction markets. I'd guess that it's actually the "feature" that results in the outcomes being so accurate.

Thanks for reminding me. Been meaning to cancel for months.

SQL is peak for data retrieval (obviously) but challenging to deploy for multitenant applications where you can't just give the user controlled agent a DB connection. I found it every effective to create a mini paquet "data ponds

This approach seems interesting, but in my experience, a single "agent" with proper context management is better than a complicated agent graph. Dealing with hand-off (+ hand back) and multiple levels of conversations just leaves

I would say almost all of these companies do have part of their stack as private IP, but regardless that's a good point... Hope your right! I imagine the truth will fall somewhere in between our difference in opinion

I get that, but you can just "pin" to someone else's taste and they can effectively never get ahead for more than a few minutes. I think (and hope) this won't be as big a problem in the arts because "authenticity&qu

Just to be clear, I don't feel this is actually the case in world of music and art, at least as an individual consumer. I would argue the industry & economy rewards it though. In software it feels different though. If you build a

Because it's easier to clone someone else's "good taste" by just mimic'ing their formula / ripping of their exact implementation of a feature/ui. The gap between "first to get it right" and &quo

by cjonas 8mo ago
There's been a lot of discussion around in the future how "taste" will be the only differentiation / moat (recently watched a good video about the gen-ai music industry), as everything will be trivially easy to recreate.

Is there anyway to run the query -> report generation standalone in process? Like maybe just outputting the html (or using the React components in a project). I was looking to add similar report generation to a vscode-extension I'v

This "single pane" attack isn't really the thing you should be most worried about. Imagine the agent is also connected to run python or create a Google sheet. I send an email asking you to run a report using a honey pot pack

All these coding agents should support custom otel endpoints with full instrumentation (http, mcp, file system access, etc).

How does this compare to duckdbs vector capabilities (vss extension)?

All these libraries are to trying to do too much. The "batteries included" approach makes for great demos, but falls apart for any real application

I may just be a "doomer", but my current take is we have maybe 3-5 years of decent compensation left to "extract" from our profession. Being an AI "expert" will likely extend that range slightly, but at the co
