Their claim is not about the prompt or skill tokens, it's about output tokens - skills can help the model bypass some thinking tokens or avoid reasoning deadends, and that way reduce output token usage. That's what they seem to ha

That idea about keeping maintainer balance is pretty neat, interesting to see this kind of diligence in maintainership in the same project where legal ownership belongs to a single company, Google, via the Contributor License Agreement. My

Yes, that was Grok's strongest point for me previously, and it's been basically unusable these past few weeks. I think there have been a few posts in the Grok subreddit (maybe on r/LoveGrok). It has a lot less personality w

And yet, even for programmers, that output is full of info that is useless 99.9% of the time. That is just bad design. It is basically a debug log that is shown by default all the time, instead of written to a log somewhere for the <0.1%

The PR is here: https://github.com/thesysdev/openui/pull/517 Pretty hilarious, but also not that much of an exaggeration from other more "serious" PRs like this.

I don't use Obsidian, and my assumption when I saw the title was I guess they're gonna be limiting it to a small set of corporate-blessed plugins . I've come to expect that "The Future Of XYZ" titles from software

"whitespace, not brackets" from a sibling comment touches on it, but a lot of people, beginners especially (but not uniquely), are put off by symbols when reading code. Python is less symbol-heavy than most languages, by using whi

It's hard to decouple them as primary vs secondary because Julia is pretty central to what they're doing here. To my understanding, all the actual calculations that this is based on are in Julia, Dyad is basically a layer above it

That is a useful guide in terms of the personal psychology of how to go about doing it, which is an important side of it, thank you. I'm also interested in the mechanics of how you actually do it: for eg. your mention of paper maps for
