That whole timespan… the absolute nonsense the “trusted media” and their “experts” were pushing with nary a single trace of critical thinking absolutely boggles the mind. How about PCR test results, “opening dates”, death counts, the almos

"we can start getting these answers back faster, they end up being more useful." Dude, 10x token speed is going to be absolutely nuts. Half the "parallel subagent workflow" business seems to be driven simply as a means

To be fair, versioning has always been vibes based.

Bumping the speed of these things would be more than meaningful. It would be a massive game changer. I assert like 80% of this “multi agent parallel workflow” business is simply a workaround to models being soooooo slow. Like as the dude dr

I mean it just depends on the price of the chip. You might just replace the chip like you would any other component. Like a video game cartridge or something.

To be fair Claude is plenty capable of climbing out of its sandbox. If it has shell access, it will find a way. And honestly, it’s whitelist/blacklist permission model is broken and inappropriate for it to begin with.

It’s really wild watching LLMs construct those calls. They batch so many different checks and stuff into a single tool call, delimit them with markers, etc. The crazy thing to me is that this kind of “composition of small tools to create s

100-200 like scripts are tiny especially for something easy to scope like a vendor api. Give opus a much, much larger challenge and see what you get back. You really don’t need to see the code much at all anymore except for some steering

The docs that ship with it are a great source for the LLM who will be running the command and monitoring its output, fixing or adjusting whatever in order to complete my goal. Why on earth would I be calling it by hand?

by cruffle_duffle 4mo ago
Paste the job description into your friendly LLM and let it attempt to find the company for you and then contact the company itself. Those recruiter spams generally just copy and paste the companies own JD so the LLM can usually figure out

I mean $40 if you are lucky or goodwill. You could get more selling it “proper” but the transaction cost of it is super not worth it (for me). When I want something out of my house, I want it out of my fucking house. Listing it on Craigsl

Remote work is absolutely brutal to a cohesive functioning society. I know people are going to slam me for saying it but is honestly true. People forgot how to interact with each other because the forcing function that gets everybody mixe

I think people are looking for excuses to declare OpenAI and Anthropic teetering on the brink of failure when the actual reality is… they are wildly successful by absolutely any measure. This deal is proof. If Microsoft didn’t believe in

by cruffle_duffle 5mo ago
Pretty much. Lots of people who really were violently supportive of those measures will never admit to themselves what a horrible, entirely predictable mistake it all was. It absolutely destroyed a ton of very good things, perhaps forever.

by cruffle_duffle 5mo ago
I feel like this is basically the answer. Things are constantly changing and it’s hard to predict what things have staying power and what is just a blip on the evolutionary railroad. All this fuzzyness from Anthropic reads more like an incr

I wish debates about “ai scraping my site” had more nuance. There are multiple ways these tools access your site and only one of them is “using it for training”. Others are webfetch from chat sessions, “deep research” agents, etc. And th

I mean you aren’t wrong. It’s just I don’t think it requires any kind of vote manipulation to see why ai company releases hit the front page. Back in browser war days it was the same thing.

You can let the LLM create slop for you, sure. But only amateurs are using it for that. You’ll be much happier if you treat it as a tool and use it like any other, a force multiplier to take your ideas and creations and pushes them furthe

It could also be that this is an exciting new, fast changing technology that happens to directly overlap and significantly impact the core audience of the site. I don’t think any form of maliciousness or secret astroturfing is required at

Oh my god have Anthropic products been absolutely saying everything is load bearing for the last week or so. Literally ever other paragraph has “such and such is load-bearing”. Funny enough, today it seems to have stopped…

Tool discovery is only one very small part of the “context problem”. The bigger problem is the outputs. You can’t compost them. Ever watch Claude code run some crazy shit through python and jq to take some input, transform it in some cra

> Why does it matter if that output is stored in the LLM's context Context window is expensive and precious. Much better to offload to some medium where it isn’t.

At that point might as well just use CLI I totally agree that mcp not being compostable is a very big issue.
