You are right that someone could go through that effort bat that only really makes sense if they give you some.idea how to use it. Reading the exchange it seems like you got caught…

Disclaimer I work at Zapier, but we're doing a ton of this. I have an agent that runs every morning and creates prep documents for my calls. Then a separate one that runs at the en…

This is effectively how I treat my AI agents. A lot of the reason this doesn't work well for people today is due to context/memory/harness management that makes it too complex for …

You would only use the base model during training. This is a distillation technique

I fall into this trap a lot. The platonic ideal argument is a fun mental exercise but doesn't get anything done

This is an interesting space. Right now we've gotten to a point where agents can do most tasks, but they will get lazy/skip steps if you're not precise in the requirements. We need…

Live leaderboard: https://sales-agent-benchmarks.fly.dev/benchmark GitHub: https://github.com/a1j9o94/sales-agent-benchmark I built an open-source benchmark for evaluating LLMs as …

Honestly just didn't think about it. Added it.

Hey HN, I spent the last few weeks exploring whether AI systems could benefit from generating video predictions before making decisions—like how humans mentally simulate "what happ…

Pretty much every major LLM client has web search built in. They aren't just using what's in their weights to generate the answers. When it gives you a link, it literally takes you…

I would argue that's just your coworker giving you a bad answer. If you prompt a chatbot with the right business context, look at what it spits out, and layer in your judgement bef…

Honestly if you have a working relationship/communication norms where that's expected, I agree just send the 5 bullets. In most of my work contexts, people want more formal documen…

I know I'm an outlier on HN, but I really don't care if AI was used to write something I'm reading. I just care whether or not the ideas are good and clear. And if we're talking ab…

Not the person you're responding to, but I think there's a non trivial argument to make that our thoughts are just auto complete. What is the next most likely word based on what yo…

Having one tool that you can use to do all of these things makes a big difference. If I'm a financial analyst at a company I don't need to know how to implement and use 5 different…

The above is saying more precise not completely precise. The overall point they're making is you still are responsible for the code you commit. If they are saying the code in this …

Why do you say that? I would argue that as long as your tests and interfaces are clearly defined no reason it couldn't scale indefinitely.

I agree with this completely. I get the impression that a lot of people here think of software development as a craft, which is great for your own learning and development but not …

The point is devs aren't sales/client facing. So from the customers perspective, it's just a delivery detail.

How do you do things like compare prices in plain text?

Wouldn't phone books and catalogues count as advertising?

This is really interesting. Has anyone seen a good registry of MCP servers somewhere? What I would love to be able to do is ask for a task and have the agent figure out what server…
