Hm, you seem to be replying to an argument that I did not make. this seems to fall under: > I understand protesting ICE for better accountability, they certainly need to be held accountable

but it's directionally wrong. It's like the BLM protests that had main messages of abolishing the police - those had terrible consequences [1]. "Reform" would be a better direction. [1] In 2020, during the height of the

I understand protesting ICE for better accountability, they certainly need to be held accountable. But I don't understand those who protest the presence of ICE as a concept. Are there any countries that don't enforce their immigra

as a musician, the internet has made it that there already is a shit ton of competition. AI will make it worse sure, but it was already a 'problem' and never going to be solved. The thing is, you aren't entitled to distributi

how is AI seo different from regular SEO? Behind the LLM is a search function, naturally the same queries and keywords would work for both search and LLMs, no?

Yes, Pydantic ai successfully abstracts the tool call loop, and makes it easy to test out different models.

I'm not familiar with it. My first question would be: Are there any prominent projects that use it? A lot of these frameworks are lauded, but if they were as good as they claim you would run into them in all sorts of apps. The only age

Because it tries to solve non existent problems (prompt templates for example) and adds complexity, instead of abstracting

I think there are probably lots of thorough critiques, but for me it boiled down to this: Langchain claimed to be an abstraction on top of LLMs, but in fact, added additional unecessary complexity. Prompt management was such a buzzword when

There's a great talk called Pydantic is all you need that i highly recommend

by peab 10mo ago
Langchain is great because it provides you an easy method to filter people out when hiring. Candidates who talk about langchain are, more often than not, low quality candidates.

Lol I worked at a startup where the CTO did this. The problem was that it was pure spaghetti code. It was so bad it kept me up at night, thinking about how to fix things. I left within 30 days

Definitely seeing a bit of this, but it isn't constrained to junior devs. It's also pretty solvable by explaining to the person why it's not great, and just updating team norms.

Same. I love the tesla model y, but it's not perfect. The screen UI is pretty good for the most part, enough that I don't think about carplay too often. But I do tend to stream audio from my phone more than from the tesla UI, and

If you're only working on one problem that's very valuable to solve, then taking the time to train a classifier is great. The beauty of LLMs is that you can run a ton of experiments, notebooks, demos etc because you can write clas

I think either you haven't used LLMs for coding in a while, or you're working on things where they might still be limited on. I've been able to use LLMs to build things in a weekend that I would not have been able to do in th

You actually probably don't need reasoning, as the old non reasoning models like 4o can do this too. In the past, the agent type flows would work better if you prompted the LLM to write down a plan, or reasoning steps on how to accompl

Are there any examples of implementations of this that actually work, and/or are useful? I've seen people write about this, but I haven't seen it anywhere
149.
by peab 11mo ago
I think the term sub-agent is almost entirely useless. An agent is an LLM loop that has reasoning and access to tools. A "sub agent" is just a tool. It's implantation should be abstracted away from the main agent loop. Whethe
