If the plan is too big to fit into context or requires too much attention it overwhelms the llm. You need to decompose into tasks and todos aggressively.

Quality Spock pun.

Maybe. I use QWAN frequently when working with the coding agents. That requires an llm equivalent of interoception to recognize when the model understanding is scrambled or “aligned with itself” which is what qwan is.

We certainly will; they can’t replace humans in most language tasks without having a human like emotional model. I have a whole therapy set of agents to debug neurotic long lived agents with memory.

I long ago accepted a career in B2B software meant my job was to put people out of work. And as it turns out, programmers always start by putting other programmers out of work. Programmers and Managers by Kraft (1977) is my favourite book o

They all thought it would be advertising or ecommerce. Subscriptions weren't a cultural phenomenon yet. That was a decade later.

The dot.com had no idea. They talked about eyeballs.

You can’t buy stock in AI. You can buy stocks in companies. The internet was destined to be big sure during the dot.com but most companies crashed. The bubble popping issue would be that there isn’t a good way to recover the capital used to

Code has a lot of bits of information the compiler users to construct the program. But not all because software needs iteration to get right both in bugs and in solving the intended problem. The llm prompt has even fewer bits of informatio

Buy the application layer near winners. When computing costs shrink, usage expands.

lol, contradictions about MVC are par for the course. It's not personal. It's just confusing. Talking about the concepts isn't the same as talking about each other as professionals. Some of the articles you linked to express

The controller is meant to be handling things like keyboard events or http events. That’s the boundary to the user. The thinner the better. I don’t know why you think this is a combative conversation where I need will to accept or reject an

That’s a fair critique. Though the snark was unnecessary. I took the time to reread the literature and review my actual code. My updated understanding. Model controls and holds the state of the system. It ensures the data is always valid. C

The model is the source of truth. For almost all apps, it should always be valid. (For those apps that isn’t true such as massively distributed systems, it should present a projection of what can be considered valid to your locality and han

Not exactly. Those models are based on intermittent usage. If you're using an AI engineer using a sophisticated agent flow, the usage is constant and continuous. That can price to an equivalent of a dedicated cube at home over 2 years.

I’ve built an agent system to quality control the output following my engineering know how. The quality is much better but it is much slower than a human engineer. However that’s irrelevant to me. If I can build two projects a day I am more

by sunir 1y ago
All true if you one shot the code. If you have a sophisticated agent system that uses multiple forward and backward passes, the quality improves tremendously. Based on my set up as of today, I’d imagine by sometime next year that will be no

I have been developing long lived self-directing agent loops. Longest with problem solving has been about 4 hours. Longest without problem solving has been nearer 8 hours until it was done. The biggest problem is simply what we think is cle

A lot of clerical work was managed by SaaS which managed clerical workers. As AIs can do these internal jobs you don’t need the software seat licenses any more. Word processors and Spreadsheets did the same thing and remain powerful today.

You’re reading it correctly. I read it again after your comment and I realized I too pattern matched to the typical logic puzzle before reading it carefully and exactly. I imagine the test here is designed for this very purpose to see if th

Guard conditions, assertions, constraints and tests are dynamic limits on code and are critical to maintain quality despite code rot and drift from changes. Static constraints like types can also be also good, where types are good. I applau

That didn’t work on my iPhone. Obviously the AI that wrote the ad code has become sentient and it is trying to break free.

I dig this. This is what I am thinking. Much easier to click than dial. Social cost of a web link versus a phone number may be lower as well (that may be cultural but it may be true) Adds other modes like calendar or chat or AI directly in

Yes. The app costs. The insurance costs. The franchise tax costs. The accounting costs. The legal costs.

My frustration is the a/b split tests never seemed to net to anything in the long term even after confidence was reached. It made me question the entire process; but I understand the math so it’s confusing to me.

Maybe. Retargeting is unlikely to create novelty.

One of the most frustrating results I found is that A/B split tests often resolved into a winner within the sample size range we set; however if I left the split running over a longer period of time (eg a year) the difference would was

There is already the shared source model. What people call things is a marketing phenomenon. You can complain all you want.. and you should.

It’s not incoherent. It’s a rule that could be made and adhered to for a project. It’s not possible for GPL projects to restrict the code this way, but the peripheral assets like trademarks, servers, conference slots, board seats, core cont
