I hope this doesn't come to BCI.

I'm surprised there's not more discussion about potential inflection points here. When technology gets faster, it opens up whole new classes of UX that were hard to predict For exa…

Wardley's original post on this [0] is worth a read. OP adds cowboys and city folk, and makes it a bit more personal. 5 interesting things that are worth making explicit: 1. These …

> Explores what AI cannot In other words, gradient descent isn't good at combinatorial optimisation. I'm sure the research is better but the hype in the blog post leaves a bad tast…

1. Solve reinforcement learning. 2. solve unsupervised learning. 3. gradually tackle more complicated things. > what was the "real reason" they couldn't achieve their original goal…

It looks a lot like a CvRDT (i.e. a state-based CRDT). They describe it as a commutative monoid, which means it has associativity and commutativity. CvRDTs also need idempotence, s…

You could also parse prompts into an AST, run inference, run evals, then optimise the prompts with something like a genetic algorithm.

> Heck, there's others who were wealthy in scripture, even kings are they all doomed? This is a great question. In the next verses, the disciples ask pretty much the same thing: "W…

Genesis is a theological narrative, which is very different to most things we read these days, especially as a software engineer. 1. The general consensus is that there were more p…

The install is very opaque. It's not clear where these skills are installed, how to upgrade them or remove them. Here's the `skills` package on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/s…

tl;dr: like Starship's PS1 combined with Claude Code's skills.

Impressive! Here's an agent in 24 lines of PHP, written in 2023. But it relies on `llm` to do HTTP and JSON. https://github.com/dave1010/hubcap

Langton Matravers is about 2km north of the coast. The 3 norths will have met land at a place called Dancing Ledge, at about SZ 00000 76833 (50.59121, -2.00000). https://en.wikiped…

I know what you're thinking: these restrictions are easy to work around. But don't worry, we can just layer more restrictions on top. Eventually the children will be safe! The gove…

Thanks Simon! My tool collection [0] is inspired by yours, with a handful of differences. I'm only at 53 tools at the moment. What I did differently: Hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Th…

Perhaps. Though if that were feasible, I'd expect it would have been exploited already. I think this is more about the cost and time saving of being able to use cheaper models. Sub…

The Claude Opus 4.5 system card [0] is much more revealing than the marketing blog post. It's a 150 page PDF, with all sorts of info, not just the usual benchmarks. There's a big s…

Thanks Simon! It only worked because of your LLM tool. Standing on the shoulders of giants.

Two years ago I wrote an agent in 25 lines of PHP [0]. It was surprisingly effective, even back then before tool calling was a thing and you had to coax the LLM into returning stru…

Looks awesome! This isn't so clear though: https://docs.innate.bot/main/software/basic/connecting-to-ba... > BASIC is accessible for free to all users of Innate robots for 300 cumu…

That was an example of a social media company changing, with users not being able to migrate their data. Scroll a bit further and you'll see X.
