In MCP setups you do give the agent the full description of what the tool can do, but I don't see why you couldn't do the same for executables. Something like injecting `tool_exe --agent-usage` into the prompt at startup. Great ar

Yes, sites should support a NoAds header that agents can provide, which ensures that the site doesn't provide any ads that the agent could accidentally click on.

We begin teaching math by having students solve problems that are trivial for a calculator. Though I also wonder what advanced CS classes should look like. If they agent can code nearly anything, what project would challenge student+agent a

I wonder if you could calculate a "probability of response to major alert" and make it the inverse of the total or irrelevant alerts. Then you get to ask "our probability of major alert saliency is onlt 6%. Why have the provi

Is it ironic that the project with the most potential for making C++ build quickly is suffering the most from C++ being extremely slow to build? Beyond that, what a superb overview. More open source projects could learn from this posting. I

Weird. I find Opus knows the answer more often, plus its explanations are much clearer. Opus puts the main point at the top, while Gemini wanders around for a while before telling you what you need.

There's a simpler design here begging to show itself. We're trying to orchestrate a horde of agents. The workers (polecats?) are the main problem solvers. Now you need a top level agent (mayor) to breakdown the problem and delegat

The right number of frameworks in a company is log10(number of employees). Go over this limit, and everyone needs to learn too many frameworks with too little support, examples, tools, and documentation.

I also think the author is understating how bad the original framework was. I've seen some of these and the "itchy points" are real true problems. The team supporting the framework decides that fixing the pain won't get

Yes, I've also been confused by things like this. Claude code is sometimes saving plans to ~/.claude/plans under animal names. But it's not really surface where the plan goes, not what the expected way to refer back to t

Yup, the "switch desktops/spaces" input lag is the absolute worst on Mac. It's remarkable that Apple has a reputation of being good at UX.

Agreed, I don't love the CLAUDE.md that gets autogenerated. It's too wordy for me to understand and for the model to follow consistently. I like to write my CLAUDE.md directly, with just a couple paragraphs describing the codebase

Backblaze stuck my email on a list, and now I get daily marketing spam from them. They shattered that good will with me very quickly.

Then you'd need to pay more doctors, and it would be much harder for the hospital to make a lot of money!

I'm just using "resistance" as a joke here. But seriously, I am curious how you previously made decisions about who to vote for, and how you are thinking about changing how you decide your voting preferences in the future?

What about building something bigger? If AI lets you build the basic version immediately, then try adding features until you get stuck. Extend your todo app to have gantt chart scheduling with drag and drop and automatic reflowing. Give you

Yeah, you can see this with Google's search results too. They're trying to improve on some internal metric, but the metric was clearly generated from ratings by people ignorant of the topics. And so the search results get worse, b

There is no such thing as a good flow for showing sponsored items in an LLM workflow. The point of using an LLM is to find the thing that matches your preferences the best. As soon as the amount of money the LLM company makes plays into wha
