    interesting, so in the particular project where they not allowed to solve them, or what was the blocking mechanism that prevented a product hunt post?

    This is quite an interesting approach. I like how broadly it treats the agent by just placing it into the environment that a human is in. Makes the experiment easy to understand ev…

    Throwing a tiny little LLM at it helped me assess that it was far too slow for me to reasonably use at the scale I needed. So it didn’t really matter how accurate the prompt was. I…

    Yeah, Ive tried a bi-encoder, cross encoder and some small LLMs so far. I think I’ll do BERT soon too

    Yeah exactly, I literally don’t know how to change my spec until I’ve gathered more data. I was building a transaction classifier recently and I initially thought it would be a tri…

    I like that you point out that the cost to build software is still not 0. And in my expirence it’s further from 0 than I would expect. I often find myself thinking I can rebuild a …

    I use the bigme hibreak pro as my primary device. Its an eink device but also just a full phone. Almost bought the boox palma, but held back because I only really want to carry a s…

    It doesn't always ask great questions, but even just the fact that it does makes me re-think what i am asking. I definetly sometimes ask really specialized questions and in that ca…

    This is one of the reasons I really like deep research. It always asks questions first and forces me to refine and better define what I want to learn about. A simple UX change make…

    I am somewhat in the same boat as this. At least i try to be super intentional about it. I replaced my iphone with the Hibreak bigme pro which is an e-ink phone. Its not perfect. I…

    This was a pretty thoughtful piece and a pleasure to read. My gut reaction at first was that it was going to be some critque on children not reading due to generative ai (a cynial …

    The irony of an open source alternative to a fork of an open source project is hopefully not lost here

    A stupidly simple CLI to store MCP configs. I need to change them all the time and move them from client to client which is annoying. Hopefully this solves my problems and maybe on…

    I’ve been struggling with a very similar feeling. I too am a manager now. Back in the day there was something very fulfilling about fully understanding and comprehending your solut…

    I don’t think that is the core of this paper. If anything the paper shows that LLMs have no internal reasoning for math at all. The example they demonstrate is that it triggers the…

    Comment #43678541

    A tool change can send a notification to the client, but the client chooses when to actually update the tools. This could take time and the LLM may not be aware of the new tool. I …

    Comment #43678284

    Server notifications are a bad way of implementing semantic retrieval on tools. There when would one update the tools? You can’t “trigger” an event which causes a tool change witho…

    Ask HN: Aren't Agents the Bitter Lesson?

    It’s been a while since I read the bitter lesson by Rich Sutton, with that said, the general “vibe” I picked up from the essay was “building human features and heuristics into a pr…

    It’s actually just a Forbes marketing ploy. Me and my company made it on the list and they gave us an interview and the guy that interviewed us asked “what is ChatGPT?” And he was …

    I don’t understand the advantage of having the transport protocol be HTTP/SSE rather than studio especially in this case when it’s literally running locally.

    Not much to say other than this is fun and awesome! Haven’t taken a detailed look at all, but in surface level, very enjoyable!

    I got pretty hungry one day and decided that copilot should solve this problem. LMK if you have any questions about tech behind it! Here is the vscode link to the extension if you …
