Loved it. This is some necessary background that helps me contextualize a few other oddities of the time period that I have had floating in my short term memory - Miyamoto Musashi (d. 1645) - Tsujigiri, random slashing of bystanders - the G

I really enjoyed reading this article. It sparked some thoughts about transplanted reasoning traces for me too. It seems like a way to give an agent a "command hallucination". A simple exploit to try out might be, "Speak in p

That's debatable. Every best-practice arose to solve a real problem within a context, and is only "best" if that context applies. If you apply best-practices without a regard for that context, you end up with a dull, cargo-cu

Let's continue: - Do you really need to keep your children in school or contribute to their higher education, when you can just let them roam free on the streets or better yet, work down at the factory and earn their keep? - Do you rea

Overton E { Social, Political } Normalcy Field E { Commercial, Experiential, Product } I think that's quite a significant difference, sufficient to change the tone of the discourse.

You can't steal what's freely given! My only ask--tell me how it sucks so I can make it better.

Yeah, giving the article more charity, I see it as "Reddit for hackers" really adapting the aesthetics and norms of Reddit, so that hackers who are Redditors have a sense of comfort. Whereas if we'd designed from first pricip

I'm a big fan of Strange Planet too! I think one lesson I'm taking away from the article is that we're not so much seeking "weird for weird's sake", but expanding that weirdness into direction that's usefu

Congratulations! I'm quite intrigued that you're finding the consultancy is going quite so well.

I love my Flipper Zero, even though I have barely used it much. But I'm much more excited for the busy.bar which I think is from the same team. I'm hoping that gets ready to ship soon!

Thanks for the flag--I guess I must have never made it public. Fixed.

I wrote and maintain this library of skills and workflows called Rust Bucket[0] It sets up your repo to ensure agents use a workflow which breaks your user requests down into separate beads, works on them serially, runs a judge agent after

Ah, I appreciate that. I agree with you that Chris Olah's presence might be noteworthy for this audience. It's just phrased a little unfortunately.

This article needs to be retitled, as it stands it's misleading. Papal Encyclicals[0] are solely authored by the Pope, even if there has been secular scholarship involved in the writing. It is never "presented" by anyone else

Not just performance, but static typing and prevalent in the training data/easy for LLMs to reason about. Of course, your response admits, "second to Rust", which I am guessing is an unspoken question in the grandparent'

This is the kind of practice I was going to get an insight into. For your conceptual-model.md, do you find natural language is sufficient? Do you use pseudo code, Entity Relationship modeling, or anything like that? And how do you go about

Sorry to hear that, my friend. Hope this weekend offers you a respite, a chance to unplug and connect with loved ones. Remote digital fist bump, and prayers for you.

Fortunate to be reminded of this right now, especially the pull-quote about conceptual integrity. This is the reason why AI-assisted programming has not turned out to be the silver bullet we have been hoping for, at least yet. Muddled promp

I've seen more than one pitch for knowledge products for "AI-enhanced managers", which are basically prompt templates that enable you to slop your way through 1:1s, ceremonies and reviews.

Excellent comment. As a downside, the compile time is somewhat offset once you're using agents (and especially parallel agents) anyway. Since all of your edits cost a round-trip API call to a third party server, you can accept a slight

Respectfully, I think your model is incomplete. The purpose of a sandbox should be understood to be limited to isolating changes to the inner state of the sandbox: filesystem, git, installed binaries like compilers, interpreters, checkers,
