I think the problem is that pangram doesn't actually work on the whole document - it works on chunks of the document. By analysing a specific piece of prose you probably arent using the same chunk as would otherwise be analysed and can

It's not rocket science. If they want to revoke a license, they should buy it back at the price they sold it. Consumer law should dictate there be no permissible alternative, and should apply retroactively. Personally, I dont like thes

This is the exactly the ableist mentality i mention. You are gatekeeping based on the medium, not the skill or motivation.

I am VERY clear that i use assistive AI with my writing. I dont believe it is "sloppyfying" - I believe it makes it much more readable than i would otherwise achieve, not least because I simply wouldn't publish it without. Yo

Some of us use genAI as an accessibility tool. It enables people to write and publish work that otherwise wouldn't exist. Some people already dismiss genuinely useful content solely based on the use of AI to assist in writing it - i am

Ive just been having a bit of fun with my homepage https://supermatt.com . Made a talking head with some idle animation and visemes and some broken crt-like effects. The meat of it is only a few hundred kB - i can probably make i

> The most counter-intuitive bug was that a unique message ID in the system prompt broke the entire KV cache. How is that counter-intuitive? You changed the key, so it didn't return a value. Thats a KV cache working as intended.

Yeah, although I think it's going to be weak compared to the Wii again due to the lack of an external reference for the controller. The bowling on Wii feels so much better to play because of this (and also has the fun animations that t

A lot of those tokens are traversal - either searching for code or following call-sites. Basically building enough context to be able to work on the task. You can reduce a lot of the token use for traversal by giving your agent access to so

I was so disappointed with Switch Sports. It lacked the soul of Wii Sports. Sadly, it seems like Sports Resort is going to be more of the same :(

That’s great! But don’t fall into the trap that the graph is the ultimate representation of all. You will get a topology, but you often need more than topologies to understand the whole. Behaviour of the parts themselves is covered in the m

It’s a fair criticism. Maybe I should have both: my source and the tidied version. Kind of like the light/dark mode toggle but for shit/slop!

You’re absolutely right! ;) Honestly - there has been so much human-in-the-loop I wouldn't be surprised if the fine-tuning went both ways.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I genuinely wish I was a better writer. The posts in particular are all quite formulaic, but the idea is that they just provide a narrative access to the manifesto itself which is where the real meat of the a

Alleged author here - on my regular account. Thanks for the feedback. I have been quite upfront about the use of AI in the foreword. I have severe inattentive ADHD and have used AI to take my writings and present them in a way in which I fe

If that is true then you cant claim to be "not touching code anymore".

People bragging that they "dont touch code" and only "argue" with agents are reinventing the slowest possible IDE. Obviously the agents are great at producing large chunks of code, but they often make minor and sometimes
