I was thinking that one could just write a loader that goes from SELF->ELF on load. You then pay the cost on startup. Probably not worth it for one-shot programs like ls/cat/etc, but for long running programs and daemons it mig

I disagree, some people lie in wait, hoping for a really good problem to tackle because they just want the excuse to dig. Do you think Linus needs to write any code anymore? What kind of problems do you think a guy like Linus chooses to wor

My take, as someone who just read through the github issues conversation. The model was outputting reasoning traces that were supposed to lead to tool calls. So the model might do something like: <think> I should use a tool

Valid. There are many ways to do it. But for enterprise there may be teams, each developing their own way to do it. Then there will be many different ways that it is done throughout the enterprise, which is hard re: governance. Better/

It is the automatic distribution and automatic update. The questions isn't "how does one download a text file to another persons computer?". It is "how does someone with a skill.md file on their computer discover tha

The irony is, as I read the OP I thought it was very much in the style of McSweeneys and then there is this. It is a pretty obvious humor device so I assume the ideas are independent. And the Socratic dialog framing adds another layer of hu

I meant as a prerequisite to unlimited checkins. Right now anyone can publish to public repos in an unlimited manner. They could choose to limit that and elevate unlimited to a paid co-pilot of codex bundled plan.

I wonder if Anthropic owning Bun will eventually lead to it being trained on in future versions of Claude. Claude is already pretty handy with Typescript, but with all of the built in libs in Bun I wonder if there is even more to squeeze ou

They could do this in a way that lessens external pull requests. For example, bolting co-pilot on to github, or a Codex in the web kind of thing that gives unlimited check ins. It's like how Grok Heavy gives the user X premium or whate

One of my pet peeves is people opening a parenthesis and never closing it. It's like my brain pushes the parenthetical into a stack and when I get to the end of the paragraph it throws an error. I definitely overuse parenthesis and I h

The dark pattern I've noticed a few times is the exact match I type into Amazon search doesn't even return the item I entered but 2 or 3 entire pages of alternatives. I know the item is there because Google returns it, either as a

I mean, I'm to blame at the moment as well. I'm putting up with it because I don't want to use Windows, mostly because I'm doing a lot of agent dev and I saw them struggle in a Windows environment. And there is a little

I'm not claiming an eval on what is or isn't possible. Rather I am stating my satisfaction with what I actually used and the actual result I obtained. What I can say is that over the course of ~1 week I was able to review, plan, i

I like to see this. I still prefer Fable (marginally) but my last big task was 100% Codex using Sol max (re-sizing my AWS infrastructure using CDK) and it did a very good job. No complaints, I could use this model happily to do what I need

Not exactly related, but I've seen people suggesting a new path for opens source funding that would be around tokens instead of cash. One might be able to pledge tokens towards a feature or fix instead of cash. Even the suggestion of t

Yes, that is close to what I was gesturing at with the walk in the woods and the berries. Before humans had a word for berries or hunger we had a latent relationship with nature, in the ability for nature to draw our attention to objects an

As I mentioned in my earlier post, what I mean is closer to semiotics [1], precisely because "language" is too fuzzy a concept and leads to the wrong conclusion. In that view, communication using posturing and changing color is ob

Right, but the question is what came first, minds or language? That is, is language a product of mind or is mind a product of language? Of course another position is that they co-arise and the question of order is ill-formed. But these idea

Sure, I'm not claiming originality. Although I come at it more from a process philosophy/pragmatism angle (Whitehead/Peirce), but that is probably due to my own background and not because any other treatment of similar ideas

One of my craziest ideas is that language created minds and not the other way around. One view of history is that humans evolved brains sufficient to host language, invented language, and then our brains grew around language. My crazy idea

I haven't wrapped my head around what level of reasoning this involves. Is it equivalent to max? I didn't like Sol initially but it is growing on me the more I use it. Its personality is a bit flat and I caught it taking shortcuts
