But… he’s saying something here that is academically true: that neural networks can approximate any possible function, to any arbitrary degree of precision you require (given infinite capacity / depth). https://en.m.wikipedi

The whole competitive advantage from any company that sells a ML model through an API is that you can’t see how the sausage is made (you can’t see the model weights). In a way, with o1, openai is just extending “the model” to one meta level

I like this! I originally started with something similar (but this one is much cleaner!), but then wanted to add optional exclusions (like .gitignore, tests, configurations). Would it be okay if I include this one liner in the readme (with

Cursor doesn’t fit into everyone’s workflow — I subscribe to it, but I’ve found myself preferring the Claude UI for various reasons. Part of it is that I actually get better results using repogather + Claude UI for asking questions about my

Thanks for letting me know - I’ll make sure it can support (transitively) circular symlinks soon.

On the contrary, this suggests that the bitter lesson is alive and kicking. The bitter lesson doesn't say "compute is all you need", it says "only those methods which allow you to make better use of hardware as hardware

I like your phrasing - "any task limited in scope enough to be a 'benchmark'". Exactly! This is the real gap with LLMs, and will continue to be an issue with o1 -- sure, if you can write down all of the relevant context

I agree - it's exciting at first, but then you have experience where you go down a rabbit hole for an hour trying to fix / make use of LLM generated code. So you really have to know when the LLM will be able to cleanly and neatly

Yes! And I fought the urge to do this for so long, I think because it _feels_ wasteful for some reason? But Claude handles it like a champ*, and gets me significantly better and easier results than if I manually pasted a file in a described

I like this approach a lot, especially because it's not opaque like embeddings. Maybe I can add an option to use this approach instead with repogather, if you are cost sensitive.

by grbsh 2y ago
This is what I've found. It's so hard to do embeddings correctly, while it's so easy to search over a large corpus with a cheap LLM! Embeddings are also really inscrutable when they fail, whereas I find myself easily iteratin

by grbsh 2y ago
I've been frustrated with embedding search approaches, because when they fail, they fail opaquely -- I don't know how to iterate on my query in order to get close to what I expected. In contrast, since repogather merely wraps your

repogather indeed as a last step stuffs everything not otherwise excluded through cheap heuristics into gpt-4o-mini to gauge relevance, so it will get expensive for large projects. On my small 8 dev startup's repo, this operation costs

Interesting - isn't Google Flash worse at coding than Sonnet 3.5? I subscribe to to Claude for $20/m, but even if the API were free, I'd still want to use the Claude interface for flexibility, artifacts and just understandabi

A Markov Chain is a mathematical structure, not a machine learning architecture. If there are a finite number of states, and a function to determine the probability to transition to any given state from any other state, then it’s a Markov c

The graph of cumulative repos over time is really interesting — it looks like we may be approaching the end of the S-curve for AI hype. I wonder if the graph will continue to flatten, or if there will be a much higher, longer, slower, and m

I think you are reading too far into this. The title of the technical paper is “ Video generation models as world simulators”. This is “just” a transformer that takes in a sequence of noisy image (video frame) tokens + prompt, and produces

Also, I wouldn’t really worry about Duolingo - they cater to people who want to _feel_ like they are learning a language (for 2-5 mins a day), not people who actually want to make progress. Even if they release features like this, they won’

Wow, I just tried it, and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for (something that actually makes you think conversationally, not just memorize vocabulary). Love the rebrand, by the way - I saw your posts about Quazle, and I never wanted

There’s a lot of worry about deepfakes and determining whether content is authentic. But I think the even bigger issue is that now, individuals and small groups will be able to have a similar influence as well-funded think tanks. I wrote ab

I've been thinking about how LLMs will affect the future of socialization, power over information, and predictions. I decided to write some thoughts down. Would appreciate comments / other perspectives - love discussing this type

This is something I’ve come to appreciate much more recently - how hard (or at least unnatural) marketing / sales is. A social media following (upon the right audience) is turning into a new metric for economic power, and it’s a skill

Wow - I’ve been thinking very closely to what you describe here, but never completely pieced it together until I read “No projects”. You’re completely right. I find that often process is used as an excuse to ignore outcome ownership - even

Good point! I haven't been able to play around with Claude 2, but I have with GPT4-32k. To me, 32k sounded like a lot, but in practice it came out to fit only a few of the dozen or so files I was interested in working with. I still ha
