It seems most memory systems are built ETL style, when they'd be better off ELT style. As the core memory systems and LLMs improve, you'd be better off querying from raw source information rather than whatever consolidation of tha

For me personally, I used an LLM to build out a financial model with different macro and financial input variables (e.g. mortgage rates, if I rented rooms, HOA, home appreciation rate, etc). These factors changed my projected return differe

This may seem like a foreign thing to you and I, having AI do all the work we normally do. The work is a fraction of what we used to do, so in no way is it authentic or worth our time Now imagine you grew up using AI to make things. Your ea

I might be in the minority, but I think this anti-AI sentiment is going to be generational. The next AI-native generation to grow up creating AI music, photos, videos, literature, code, etc will think it's silly why the older generatio

The nuance that’s talked less about is that both statements can be and likely will be true, but which way will the balance swing: 1. Many jobs will be eliminated (will they be offset by new jobs?) 2. The new technology will need to be adopt

Seems like a good way for a rogue JS script to offload token generation to a bunch of unsuspecting visitors It would actually be pretty interesting to see if its possible to decentralize the compute to generate something useful from a large

SpaceX and Amazon seem to be headed for competing with traditional telecoms and ISPs. I'm betting the next acquisition target will be AST SpaceMobile. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see big telecom/ISP mergers pass regulatory app

We're in the early days of agentic frameworks, like the pre-PHP web. CGI scripts and webmasters. Eventually the state-of-the-art will slow down and we'll eventually have something elegant like Rails come out. Until then, every age

I don't think MCP is going anywhere, as much as I prefer CLIs or skills generally. Where MCP really shines is reducing friction and footguns for using a service, but at the expense of less versatility and expressiveness. You get a cook

It's nearly perfect. My only complaint is I wish it would keep playing on repeat, and rotate through more smooth jazz. Then I could have this on a screen in my living room, fall asleep on my couch in a snuggie, and wake up to its garis

From a technical perspective, if agents are "an LLM and tools in a loop", I'd define claws as "agents in a queue". Or in other words claws are "an LLM and tools in a loop, in a queue"

It's not a perfect security model. Between the friction and all caps instructions the model sees, it's a balance between risk and simplicity, or maybe risk and sanity. There's ways I can imagine the concept can be hardened, e

The implications for RLM is really interesting. RLM is expensive because of token economics. But when tokens are so cheap and fast to generate, context size of the model matters a lot less Also interesting implications for optimization-driv
