If you're intent on using agents, try having them work by themselves on one feature branch while you work normally on another. It feels like hiring a fast intern... Highly opinionated: Regarding using agents for a main project or featu

Why is it their job to check for security? Sandboxing would make the ergonomics significantly worse for running quick scripts with uv run --script

Kagi Assistant's advantage of using their search engine, optionally fine-tuned to your preferences, instead of Google/Bing is so underrated, too. It's the killer feature for me

That position seems to have changed, I think? They are supposedly allowing people to buy Privacy Pass tokens without a Kagi account in-the-future™: "Yes, this makes sense. This is possible because technically the extension does not car

Kagi is still a good solution for other use cases. For the privacy-oriented you have Privacy Pass, for the familymen you get very good parental control options, for college and gradschool you get the Academic Lens and the very underrated fe

I mean, are we supposed not to? This doesn't read like a blog at all, it even has the dreaded "Key Takeaways" end section... The content is good and seems genuinely researched, but the text looks "AI enhanced", that

So you attribute the golden era of Church influence, around the 12th century onwards, as the "not bad medieval era", yet the Church is somehow evil and not the new barbarian kings?

I mean, you should look citations up, because any self-respecting modern historian disagrees with most "dark ages" myths you were probably taught in school. We have even traced back the myths to their origins, lots of them being p

Is o3-pro the same as these?

Agree, either Vimium or Tridactyl or some other form of proprietary Vim bindings. Nothing feels quite as bad with browsers as programming with both hands on keyboard, poppping into the browser for a quick search and having to quick on stuff

To anyone working in these types of applications, are embeddings still worth it compared to agentic search for text? If I have a directory of text files, for example, is it better to save all of their embeddings in a VDB and use that, or ar

Funny quirk of the website: it says it needs JavaScript to work, but I can read everything and see everything just fine, and the formatting isn't even broken. Then I look at uBlock and 195 trackers are blocked. Yikes

If any other country should know better, you'd think it would be Germany. Ursula in particular married into a family which was both persecuted as Anabaptists and participated in persecution by being Holocaust enforcers, so how on Earth

Selfhosting Matrix might be a solution if this passes. The surveillance is to be installed at the app level, imposed on the distributing companies (say, the Signal front-end), this is not a ban on. But if you're booting up your own app

by mvieira38 1y ago
As I understand it, the pressure for a surveillance state comes from the EU, right? While Germany and countries in their cultural sphere like Austria are fundamentally opposed to that. If that's the case, it won't ever change unle

When, if ever, do you use TypedDicts?

by mvieira38 1y ago
Only in the small subset of programmers that post on HN is that the case. Most users or even most developers don't mind slow stuff or "getting into flow state" or anything like that, they just want a nice UI. I've seen p

I haven't seen it happen at all with RAG systems. I've built one too at work to search internal stuff, and it's pretty easy to make it spit out accurate references with hyperlinks

"thoughtful" is the key word that makes it not a contradiction logically speaking, as the author likely was writing about precisely the stress between meaningful participation leaving a legacy and mindless social media consooming.

Maybe their excuse will be that it can't be proven whether or not the deep learning model is discriminating based on this or that, it's just taking in as much data as possible?

This seems like a good use case, I'm optimistic on this one. But it smells fishy how often OpenAI releases these secondary products like custom GPTs, tasks, etc. It's looking like they know they won't be an LLM provider, like

by mvieira38 1y ago
We can assume that OpenAI/Anthropic offerings are going to be better long term simply because they have more human capital, though, right? If it turns out that what really matters in the AI race is study mode, then OpenAI goes "ok

by mvieira38 1y ago
How can't these founders see this happening, too? From the start OpenAI has been getting into more markets than just "LLM provider"

by mvieira38 1y ago
Would you say you were using the LLM as a tutor or as tech support, in that instance?

It still looks great with Javascript off, 3rd party frames disabled and no remote fonts, too, for us privacy nuts

You can't really predict usage of output tokens, too, so this is especially concerning
119.
by mvieira38 1y ago
I have the exact opposite idea. I want the tests to be mine and thoroughly understood, so I am the true arbiter and then I can let the LLM go ham on the code without fear. If the tests are AI made, then I get some anxiety letting agents mes

In this case it seems more like incompetence mixed with classic Euro bureacracy. The suits don't know better and consumers are braindead so won't even notice
