That's so strange. I found GPT to be abysmal at following instructions to the point of unusability for any direction-heavy role. I have a common workflow that involves an orchestrator that pretty much does nothing but follow some simpl

The API key is not a subscription. The title says subscriptions are blocked from using third-party tools. Or am I misunderstanding?

I've been (adding an OpenCode feature that allows the LLM to edit its own context)[1] and trying to debug an issue with the Anthropic API because I'm calling it with missing fields that it expects. I hope my multiple erronious API

For now, this is mitigated by only including trusted content in the context; for instance, absolutely do not allow it to access general web content. I suspect that as it becomes more economical to play with training your own models, people

I've directly faced this problem with automatic code formatters, but it was back around Claude 3.5 and 3.7. It would consistently write nonconforming code - regardless of having context demanding proper formatting. This caused both ext

LLMs are very good at looking at a change set and finding untested paths. As a standard part of my workflow, I always pass the LLM's work through a "reviewer", which is a fresh LLM session with instructions to review the unc

For interactive programs like this, I use tmux and mention "send-keys" and "capture-pane" and it's able to use it to drive an interactive program. My demo/poc for this is making the agent play 20 questions with

I don't have a link to share just yet, but I'm working on an LLM coding agent that can modify its own context and is given hints on when and why that would be useful. I expect it to make it possible to not think about when to rese

If they were using this compression for storage on the cache layer, it could allow more videos closer to where they serve them, but they decide the. Back to webm or whatever before sending them to the client. I don't think that's

Whenever I use LLM-generated content, I get another LLM and pre-bias it by asking if it's familiar with common complaints about LLM generated content. And then I ask it to review the content and ask for it to identify those patterns in

There's also dynamodb-fips.us-east-1.amazonaws.com if the main endpoint is having trouble. I'm not sure if this record was affected the same way during this event.

I don't remember an event like that, but I'm rather certain the scenario you described couldn't have happened in 2017. The very large 2017 AWS outage originated in s3. Maybe you're thinking about a different event? http

I agree that financial viability is critical to the long-term prospects of a technology. It must deliver an ROI above other options. I'd recommend getting off the sidelines and jumping in to see what's happening. At the least, you

If you have a mid- to upper- range phone made in the last 4 years, that's probably the best low-budget option by far. Save your money and get led panel lights instead. And a good audio recorder will do wonders. Zoom h1n is a quite good
