LSPs should expose their api through shell commands - then integrating it with any LLM would be trivial. And it would also be very useful for humans.

This week I vibe coded an golem-forge ( https://github.com/zby/golem-forge ) - exploration of prompting as programming. Since then I found https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono and https://

I like when someone links to where he found the information.

I thought that the point was to post valuable thoughts - because it is interesting to read them. But now you suggest that it depends on how they were generated.

I don't know - the linked examples were low quality - sure.

Why? This is like saying that you should not use a car - because you should walk. Sometimes yes - but as a general rule?

Well - the point of involving the AI is that very often it explains my intuitions way better than I can. It instantiates them and fills in all the details, sometimes showing new ways. I find the second paragraphs contradictory - either you

What is banned here? I can only find guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html not rules.

What if I agree with what AI wrote? Should I try to hide that it was generated?
101.
by zby 10mo ago
I strongly disagree - when I post something that AI wrote I am doing it because it explains my thoughts better than I can - it digs deeper and finds the support for intuitions that I cannot explain nicely. I quote the AI - because I feel th

Most of things that were considered reasoning are now trivially implemented by computers - from arithmetic, through logical inference (surely this is reasoning - isn't it) to playing chess. Now LLMs go even further - what is your defin

"The LLM learns 2nd hand heresay, with no idea of what's true or false, what generalizations are valid, or what would be hallucinatory, " - do you know what is true and what is false? Take this: https://upload.wiki

When I expect it to do that I just end my prompt with '. Discuss' - usually this works really well. Not exactly human like - it tries to list all questions and variants at once - but most with good default answers so I only need t

There is huge difference between tools executed on the client and those that run on the server - I wish it was made more clear in announcements like this one what it is referring to.
106.
by zby 11mo ago
I think this is about tools that are executed on the server instead of on the client. This is all very confusing - so I might be mistaken.

I believe that what we need is treating prompts as stochastic programs and using a special shell for calling them. Claude Code and Codex and other coding agents are like that - now everybody understands that they are not just coding assista

I still don't get what is special about the skills directory - since like forever I instructed Claud Code - "please read X and do Y" - how skills are different from that?

MCP is another middleware story - this always fails (hat tip Benetict Evans).

AI has lots of this 'fake till you make it' vibe from startups. And unfortunately it wins - because these hustler guys get a lot of money from VCs before their tools are vetted by the developers.

LLMs were trained on the how we use text interfaces. You don't need to adopt command line for an LLM to use. You don't really need RAG - just connect the LLM to the shell tools we are using for search. And ultimately it would be m

The agent in Cursor is constantly using command line tools.

There is a clarification tweet from the authors: - we cannot extract training data from the model using our method - LLMs are not injective w.r.t. the output text, that function is definitely non-injective and collisions occur all the time

I am wrapping up https://github.com/zby/DayDreamingDayDreaming - it is a project to show that https://gwern.net/ai-daydreaming can work. It is hard to show that AI can reimplement for example special r

What do you think about: https://unlockgpu.com/ ? I put it on hold because the shareholder resolutions has to propose some concrete board level changes - and it seems (or seemed a few months ago) that AMD really started impl

It is quite frustrating that we have these discussions over and over again. Asynchronous communication is great - but it is not better than synchronous communication in some universal way. It depends. Personally I am very sensitive to inter

The root problem here is that a communication channel full of noise is not valuable - but on the other hand if you have a very selective channel - then nobody will subscribe because to subscribe you need repeated good interactions.
