From experience it seems like preempting context scoping and routing decisions to smaller models just results in those models making bad judgements at a very high speed. Whenever I experiment with agent frameworks that spawn subagents with

"True" multi-objective optimization can be not only solve traditional optimization problems, but can act as a control system for dynamic time-varying multi-objective problems.

I think you’re onto something but it works the opposite way too. When you first start using a new model you are more forgiving because almost by definition you were using a worse model before. You give if the sorts of problems the old model

I agree. The UI component is currently a surprisingly big hurdle. Last night I set up my 11 year old son with Claude 4, with MCP enabled for filesystem modification, reasoning that the LLMs are finally at the level of capability where they

We've just launched globalMOO, a novel agent-driven, multi-objective optimization API designed for complex inverse problem-solving and optimization scenarios. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on scalarization, heuristic tun

“Changing your mind” doesn’t really look like what LeCun is doing. If your model of reality makes good predictions and mine makes bad ones, and I want a more accurate model of reality, then I really shouldn’t just make small provisional and

Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense.

It took me a minute to even understand this comment because for me the “obvious” use-case for MCP is local filesystem tasks, not web requests. Using MCP to manipulate files is my primary LLM use-case and has been ever since Anthropic releas

I don’t live near a lot of Wild E. Coyote fake road walls. I get the sense it’s more of a Midwest thing.

People are weirdly resistant to acknowledging the obvious implications of things if those implications seem big. There’s a broad “nothing ever happens” heuristic that people tend to mistake for wisdom.

An astronomical number, but still fewer than there are stars in the known cosmos, by a factor of about 5,000,000. Even the most common forms of multicellular life are practically Silmarils in terms of rarity on the cosmic scale.

They are closer to being deterministic machines that comply exactly with your instructions, for better or worse, than they are to magical pixies that guess what you must’ve actually meant. The implicit expectation demonstrated by many in th

They clearly are useful tools given their current capabilities. It just depends on what you’re using them for. You don’t use a screwdriver to drive nails, and you don’t go to HardwareNews to complain when your screwdriver isn’t working as a

It’s the fact that it’s the same thing over and over. The 100th case of “Well I had a bad experience using LLM for coding!” is not interesting.

I am frankly tired of seeing this kind of post on HN. I feel like the population of programmers is bifurcating into those who are committed to mastering these tools, learning to work around their limitations and working to leverage their st

I write the prompt as if I’m writing an email to a subordinate that clearly specifies what the code needs to do. If what I’m requesting an improvement to an existing code, I paste the whole code if practical, or if not, as much of the code

It’s always climbing mountains. Why does nobody ever go money-mad and excavate an exact replica of the dwarven city of Khazad-dûm in the Black Hills of South Dakota?

I agree with what you say here, but I still don’t feel like this gives Marcus the edge here, because Perplexity does a fantastic job at finding correct information and, in my experience, never hallucinates. I would call Perplexity and whate

I’m not as inclined to grade Gary Marcus’ predictions leniently as Gary Marcus seems to be. • 7-10 GPT-4 level models He only gets to claim this is true if you count a bunch of different versions of the same base model, or if you’re willing

I found it frustrating that the article highlights Mullenweg’s actions while failing to even briefly describe what WP Engine is, and what actions they took. The story felt very incomplete, perhaps intended for someone who is already familia

We came within a literal inch of witnessing the assassination of a presidential candidate earlier this year, by a kid with no particular skills and an easily obtained rifle. We are lucky that people are mostly nonviolent.
