    I like having my garbage picked up at the curb, but I wouldn't want to live downwind from a landfill. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-som...

    They got rid of the 5hr quota, it's just weekly quotas now.

    Ah, sorry, you're right. I would be willing to be that Kimi could do a decent job today, but definitely not for 1% of the price.

    They're a few months behind the frontier, which, by the way, only started making these discoveries in the last few months.

    My stream of barely-intelligible rambling comes out much faster than I can type, and it's not even close. It's a skill like any other. You start out stuttering and second-guessing …

    You seem to be assuming that the real estate agent was in the process of selling them a house.

    Wow, quasar is still around? It seems to be pretty niche, but I've only ever heard good things about it.

    I was profiling a slow machine the other day, and triggered the safeguards. I've been saying this a lot lately, but it doesn't bites you until it bites you. The more you use the cl…

    But then someone would write an article complaining about how the newly-injected date confused their agent!

    I think GPT 6 will be OpenAI's response to Fable/Mythos. There are (baseless) rumours that it will be coming fairly soon.

    They're probably not going to remove Fable. They just extended it for another month.

    Did you enable the flicker-free TUI mode?

    I have my LLM agents fact check each other as a matter of course. They each regularly find things that the other missed. They are typically the same model (Opus).

    Eh, it doesn't hit you until it hits you. I finally bumped into a task that Codex would refuse to work on. Was I attempting to reverse-engineer a GPU driver? Yes. Was I trying to h…

    No, that was totally different. They were just doing that for your safety.

    I'll probably never use this, but at least they're not delusional enough to attempt to justify keeping their coding agent closed-source, especially after their recent data-harvesti…

    Isn't Fable just Mythos + guardrails? Sounds like you did throw Mythos at it.

    Yes, there is an LLM feature that we have anthropomorphized as "reasoning" or "thinking", where an LLM has a scratch space where it can dump tokens that help to improve the final o…

    OpenAI, to their credit, seems to be focusing pretty heavily on token efficiency in GPT 5.5 and beyond.

    I have a functional Pi config, mostly self-made (it has everything I want, incl. subagents, web search, a /btw command, and other misc. addons), and my system prompt is ~3k.
