I think investors like Amazon taking shots like this? It was never a broad roll-out, 43 stores is micro-scale for Amazon. Still, would love to see a breakdown of why it didn't improve. Regardless of the accuracy at launch, I'd thi

It wasn't sycophantic at all? OP had a cool idea no one else had done, that was a one-shot just sitting there. Having Gemini search for the HN thread leads the model to "see" its output lead to real-world impact. The total hi

Super well said - right. “Try again with quick feedback” vs “try again with significant feedback” vs “try again, but only a subset of the original task” vs “let’s have someone else do this”

That code taste of yours, your ability to understand the minutiae, makes you superhuman at managing agents. Comments, docstrings, naming, patterns - by defining better approaches and hold agents to them, the results will be better. Way be

Honest question - how is that not true of those past researchers? IE, they... - Start with the context window of prior researchers. - Set a goal or research direction. - Engage in chain of thought with occasional reality-testing. - Generate

Allowing porn monetizes and aids a probabilistic percentage of revenge porn, child porn, deepfake porn, and human trafficking. Even if a waiver is signed, there's significant duress in many cases. There's a lot of pain and evil en

I would expect extracting out more of the meta-logic via GPT, and showing relevant panes dynamically. If you get an error, automatically search for the answer and propose the change. If you add a new flow uncovered by tests, propose the tes

OpenAI seems to be prioritizing the mobile experience over web. Their mobile app is extremely fast with GPT-4, faster than web. I’d imagine once mobile is well-established, they’ll equalize it out. Totally makes sense, if I’m right. They sh
