Consider cognition as simply the manipulation of information and data into something different and LLMs can do plenty of that. Animals perform cognition. We shouldn't confuse consciousness or agency or with cognition.

Because sometimes (a lot of the time in my experience) third-party providers and inference engines fail to implement the model correctly in ways that are sometimes very subtle and not obvious. Deepinfra for example is not preserving thinkin

I also achieve better performance on cognitive tasks when I use language to first describe the problem I'm trying to solve. In fact, it usually helps quite a bit (see: rubber-duck debugging) I'm not sure the word "intelligenc

Deepinfra's implementation of it is not correct. Thinking is not preserved, and they're not responding to my submitted issue about it. I also regularly experience Deepinfra slow to an absolute crawl - I've actually gotten m

The meaning of tokens lose touch with language in the deeper layers of large language model’s neural nets. Language is just the input/output modality.

There's a simple read-write-execute (rwx) permission model in the TUI. You can press ctrl+p to cycle through the level of tool automation. E.g. press ctrl+p once to auto-approve Read/Grep/Glob tools, press it again to auto-ap

Human inputs their idea. AI helps bring it to light faster. Human iterates. Still human?

I think a pretty good portion of parents would agree with a blanket "your phone shall not be seen during school hours" policy. Something that would probably need to be decided per-district

I think a lot of it comes down to the training objective, which is to fulfill the user’s request. They have knowledge about how programs can be structured in ways that improve overall maintainability, but little room to exercise that knowle

That makes sense, thanks for the reply. For some reason I was under the impression that there was an active drive towards a backend that was not git.

Why shouldn’t we care about layer 2? You can do really fun and interesting things at the MAC layer.

What happens when jj introduces this native repository format - break compatibility with all the popular git hosts? If jj is so great now and works with git as a backend, it’s tough to imagine why it’s worth pursuing a native and presumab

But Google is not a scrappy startup. They're sitting on over $100 bil in cash.

And this attitude is how you get compromised in the near future. No reason to expect capabilities of models are going to stop.

Development towards those goals will continue with or without massive investor capital, see Google’s involvement with Boston Dynamics. And plenty of very wealthy folks see the writing on the wall wrt robotics.

This is kind of the goldilocks zone for LLMs right now. I wouldn't mistake this for any kind of capability plateau. There is a massive push towards making transformers the engine of humanoid (and other kinds of) robotics, we just haven

This is kind of fun, something I've been thinking about over the last couple days. This is one area that makes me feel like our current LLM approach is just not quite general enough. Yes, developers and power users love the command-lin

See `lmcli` - a minimalist terminal coding agent that sandboxes itself and hides nothing. No hard-coded prompts that can't be overridden

That’s not that different than CoW filesystems - there is no rule that files must map 1:1 to objects; you can (transparently) divide a file into smaller chunks to enable more fine grained edits.

If there are advancements, they have to be described somehow. What if the capability advancements are real and they warrant a higher level of concern or attention? Are we just going to automatically dismiss them because "bro, you'

Human in the loop is the best way to go. You'll still be way faster than without the agent, and there is no risk of it going haywire unless you turn off your brain!

This is surprising to me. Maybe because I'm on Pro, and not Lite. I signed up last week and managed to get a ton of good work done with 5.1. I think I did run into the odd quantization quirk, but overall: $30 well spent
