I added it to my agent maintained list of agent maintained memory/knowledge systems at: https://zby.github.io/commonplace/notes/related-systems/rela...

There are many techniques - I analyse them at my knowledge base. I wrote 'my bet is that solving ...' - if I have solved it I would not have to hedge like this.

SDD is about flowing the design choices from the spec into the rest of the system. TDD was for making sure that the inevitable changes you make to the system later don't break your earlier assumptions - or at least warn that you need t

The key to make Copilot useful is to take the limited context problem seriously enough. There are many dimensions to it: https://zby.github.io/commonplace/notes/context-efficiency-i... and it should be the startin

A knowledge base - something where the LLM knows how to find the knowledge it needs for a given task. I am working on this idea in https://zby.github.io/commonplace/

My bet is that the solution to continuous learning is with external storage. There is a lot of talk about context engineering - but I have not seen anyone taking context as the main bottleneck and building a system around that. This would s

Spec Driven Development is a curious term - it suggests it is a kind of, or at least in the tradition of, Test Driven Development but it goes in the opposite direction!

I wish someone curated a list of sites that are llm written - but are not spam. Just to compare :)

I am looking for something that would filter for sites that rarely post but have good content. The number one problem with most of these systems is that everything favours frequent posting. Even if I do it manually, I cannot keep the tabs o

You can use vibe coding for learning. It is very effective.

What do you do to learn new programming construct? What did you do to learn programming - didn't you write #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } while having no idea wha

I don't want more of this on Hacker News. I laughed because it was like ricklolling - but I am kind of curious what was the value so many people found in this article.

I like it because it is constructive! I am really surprised with the amount of backlash at this site for using llm helpers in writing. There are many ways in which this can go wrong - and the article lists some of them - but it does not bli

Hmm - but has its incidence increased or just other causes have fallen down faster?

I just found the xkcd that expresses my opinion on this: https://xkcd.com/810/ I am surprised that apparently I am in a minority here.

I also feel the frustration of the llm reverse-compression - when a whole article is generated from a single sentence. But when I post something edited by AI it is usually a result of a long back and forth of editing and revising. I guess I

Here is my theory about weaving deterministic code and prompts: https://github.com/zby/llm-do/blob/main/docs/theory.md . Plus a library that realises the unified call space that I propose. I think c

I think these rules should have a pre-determined shelf life. They are not bad at the current state of the world - they push in the right direction - but they complicated law, and I bet there will be many second-level outcomes that are hard

Hmm - maybe I should not call it index - people lookup stuff in the index when needed. Here the whole index is inserted in the conversation - it is as if when starting a task human read the whole table of contents of the manual for that tas

The instructions are standard documents - but this is not all. What the system adds is an index of all skills, built from their descriptions, that is passed to the llm in each conversation. The idea is to let the llm read the skill when it

Computers are finite - but we use an unbounded model for thinking about them - because it simplifies many things.

Reasoning is recursive - you cannot isolate where is should be symbolic and where it should be llm based (fuzzy/neural). This is the idea that started https://github.com/zby/llm-do - there is also RLM: https:&#x2

I've got the wording from an llm. I knew there was this pattern in all traditional tools - but I did not know the name.

Pi has probably the best architecture and being written in Javascript it is well positioned to use the browser sandbox architecture that I think is the future for ai agents. I only wish the author changed his stance on vendor extensions: h

I would double - do skills reliably work for you? I mean are they reliably injected when there is a need, as opposed to being actively called for (which in my opinion defeats the purpose of skills - because I can always ask the llm to read

Yeah - the author seems oblivious to that option. But to be fair - this post is more about the more basic step of choosing the schema - he argues that it is still a task for a human. In his next post https://www.domainlanguage.co

Classic Jevons Paradox - when something gets cheaper the market for it grows. The unit cost shrinks but the number of units bought grows more than this shrinkage.
