I already swear at mine when it tries to suggest setting up a routine for me or otherwise fail to just immediately shut up after answering my query. Still not boxing them up. Though I now have a Pi with a HomeAssistant setup I'm triall

I would say the first starting point is to run your agent somewhere you're comfortable with giving it mostly unconstrained permissions (e.g. --dangerously-skip-permissions for Claude COde), but more importantly, setting up sub-agents t

If you're not learning anything new, you're doing it wrong. There's a massive gap between just using an LLM and using it optimally, e.g. with a proper harness, customised to your workflows, with sub-agents etc. It's a di

At least one of the adaptations as of the 1980's also had moments that were very much dark and scary as a child. I haven't read or seen anything of the Moomins since, but I think the Groke might have been one of the things that fr

Who says anything about old models? What we're seeing is that as the frontier models get better, we get cheaper, better small models that leverage the advanced but cost a fraction. At the same time, hardware provides morez cheaper opti

All of these IDs in the EEA are based on a common set of EU requirements, and in theory that means multiple providers, but in practice in many countries the set of providers is small and with feature gaps. E.g. Norway has several providers,

Personally think a bratwurst is borderline, in that it is "close enough" that I can see someone calling a bratwurst in a bread a hot dog, and I wouldn't react if a shop listed them as a type of hot dog on a menu. But, yeah, s

The issue with German as well as Norwegian is that a space creates a semantically distinct structure , so it's not that they remove the space, but that one wasn't there in the first place, and some of those compounds then becom

I'd argue that boiled water very specifically refers to the water left ofter after boiling water, not steam. Steam is no longer water, at least not in common parlance. Boiled water does have the extra connotation that it is presumed

If people assume it's "just a type of sausage" it suggests a dictionary entry is needed to explain otherwise. It's a term referring to a small set of types of sausages served in a specific small set of ways . In some p

In Norwegian, we have "isvann" - ice water - which can both mean water implied to be cold enough to feel like it has recently melted, or specifically water with ice in it. If you're asking for isvann at a restaurant, you&#x27

[To be clear, the below is me agreeing with you] Norwegian is almost as compound-happy as German, and we could've filled many volumes with compounds. But what generally happens for one of the compunds to enter the dictionary is that th

There isn't really anything other than training, but they generally don't. You probably can get them to do that with some extra instructions, but part of the problem - at least with Claude - is that it's really trigger-happy

Make (or whatever) targets that direct output to file and returns a subset have helped me quite a bit. Then wrap that in an agent that also knows how and when to return cached and filtered data from the output vs. rerunning. Fewer tokens

Rather than an LLM=true, this is better handled with standardizing quiet/verbose settings, as this is a question of verbosity, where an LLM is one instance where you usually want it to be quieter, but not always. Secondly, a helper t

I'd argue most of them I overlap less with academic writing advice than high school level writing advice. Most people don't transcend that because they have no need to, and it's where most people learn to write essays.

This is utterly bizarre. Yes, what if? It would depend what you're after. Very few of us entirely detach sex from emotions even when we think we do, and so it's a very different scenario. But even then, plenty time f people use se

Changing the style is easy: Just feed it a writing sample, and tell it to review its own writing against the style of the writing sample. That won't entirely weed out these tropes, but it will massively change the style. Then add a few
