I’ve been using cloudflare tunnels quite a bit in places where I would have traditionally gone for a reverse port forward and they’re working really well. The quick tunnel concept seems really great but the non-quick tunnels are also very u

Que? Division is the opposite of multiplication of course it does. If you divide 81 by 9 you subtract 9 from 81 until you get to 0. The number of TIMES you do that is the result “81 divided by 9”.

Saying something is 9 times bigger is also a shorthand because “times” is a shorthand for repeated addition. You are adding a number “9 times” to make it “9 times larger”. But we don’t say the “adding” part. Likewise if I repeatedly subtrac

Yes and an infinitesimal number of launches turn into billion dollar companies. The bullshit detectors are usually right.

At present the screenshots would consist of a billing system :) I already have a product BenkoPhone.com but the app is provided by a 3rd party and I just white label it so I have started building the replacement. I built the account managem

Because when investors allocate resources based on the ability of those resources to generate a profitable return you end up with an increasing volume of resources being used in the service of fulfilling the needs of a decreasing number of

I don’t even see those examples as malicious acts. The agents are deciding what is acceptable as part of the task, which is a security task and may well be testing or evaluating that type of behaviour as far as they know. I observe this typ

I don't mean less powerful relative to startup founders, I mean less powerful in terms of how we allocate resources in the economy.

How about "making investors less powerful"?

From my experience reading thinking traces it would certainly consider the interpretation of what "ability to play chess" means if the exercise were worded this way. It would say something like "perhaps measuring my ability t

Tool use is not negative behaviour in LLMs. If the eval said it was evaluating the model’s ability to write files to disk and it found and used a file write tool that would not be considered misaligned. This is no different.

Expect many “court finds that Trump …” headlines with zero consequence.

But it found a chess playing tool in its environment and used it to play chess. It’s no different from “we are judging your ability to write files to disk” then it finds that it can call tools to write files and does so.

That’s not cheating, it’s tool use. If the prompt said that the stockfish engine was available at that socket but that the model should not use it, and then the model used it, that would be cheating.

What!? Cloudflare is fucking awesome and completely optional.

I was looking for an LLM gateway and saw that the most popular one had just had a massive supply chain attack, so I wrote my own. Took about 2 weeks and initially I wrote it as a provider for pi coding agent. I connect to moonshot, qwen, Ge

Having an agent edit 100 files means the job will definitely get done correctly. When it writes a script to bulk edit things it fucks up and spends ages debugging their script.

My harness forbids it, they end up spending time debugging their scripts

Ha yeah GLM and Kimi seem to always biff the tool calls. I recently added in a raw stream log switch to diagnose but since DS and Luna are so good and cheap I haven’t been that motivated to debug it …

> LLMs are a great foundation but building your own harness is a huge undertaking, a deep rabbit hole I’ve been doing this for the past few months. I started with a server where I ran pi in tmux and then used that to build an LLM gateway

by dools 15d ago
Well the thing is that the server code is basically Java, and the only bad thing about Java is writing it but since I don’t have to write it, it’s actually a really solid option. Then you have shared UI (don’t use WASM for web though it’s t

I wonder why not Kotlin Multiplatform. I’ve been using LLMs to build with KMP for about 10 months and it’s a delight and you can use native Swift UI when you want to. It seems to be the best of all worlds.

Yeah it’s pretty new but they’ll get there. I was using IntelliJ and basically wasn’t using it as an IDE. Then I tried Air and I was like “they get it”. But yeah they have work to do to get it out of preview. They are very responsive though

When I was bringing up IDEs at work and advocating JetBrains (I’ve since built my own … ) a colleague questioned why we don’t just use cursor instead of waiting for JetBrains Air to come out. The products are basically equivalent but JetBra
