That's not the model, that's the box the model came in. It's unlikely we've hit the limits on improving agent UX, but there are some fundamental limits on LLMs that seem unlikely to be fixed by better UX.

I've done some personal CRUD stuff like that. Worked well - I fixed bugs as I found them, only hit one thing it couldn't do (I find codex weak at front-end stuff generally). Would never publish it though, or approach paid work lik

Assuming improvements in LLMs follow a sigmoid curve, even if the cloud models are always slightly ahead in terms of raw performance it won't make much of a difference to most people, most of the time. The local models have their own a

More likely they were playing with the system when they were the system in the early days, and just didn't keep those keys (IMO). Remember, even into the GPU era people were still giving bitcoin away; those wallets weren't worth a

You could always one-up her by animating them.... maybe add Godzilla in the distance occasionally. (Provenance is so important. The infinitely-recopied local history photos were never a great source anyway).

My employer is more scared of browser plugin-based malware than they are of ad-based malware. So that's fun.

Walls are fundamental to my prediction. So not so much "web" as "forum". Discord, not Facebook. I guess it's the gatekeeping mechanism that's going to be the interesting bit.

I think we're going to reinvent Google's "circles" mechanism from G+. We all (well, the terminally online, at least) are going to be part of several more or less overlapping villages, and the people in those villages are

Or if code quality stops mattering, in a kind of "ok, the old codebase is irretrievably sphagettified. Lets just have the chatbot extract all the requirements from it, and build a clean room version" kind of way. It's also

My oldest ones (about a decade, same as you) are a touch more yellow than the ones I bought last year. I still think that, kept away from UV, they'll probably outlast me.

Yeah, we have a similar setup for haberdashery - white Ikea Billys, a few extra shelves, and a lot of 9l RUBs. They're a couple of inches deeper than the shelf, but that's not really a problem. Larger projects and long-term storag

I'm pretty sure the -as-a-service stage is only temporary. The local models are only going to get better, and the improvement curve has to top out eventually. Maybe the cloud models will still give you a few extra percentage points of

As the article mentions using standardized clear bins, which really do help: In the UK I settled on Really Useful Boxes. Not their new cheaper range, the chunky straight-sided ones. Transparent, they don't go brittle in a few years (I

Just today I had an agent add a fourth "special case" to a codebase, and I went back and DRY'd three of them. Now I used the agent to do a lot of the grunt work in that refactor, but it was still a design decision initiated b

Are you assuming a brute force "burn tokens until it passes the tests" model, or is there a really sweet approach on the horizon that is impractical at current token costs? I'm asking 'cos while I'm philosophically
