There was a recent-ish paper[0] from Sakana AI about baking facts from a document corpus into a LoRA adapter. Claimed near perfect recall on very large needle-in-haystack testing. …

I built a game for a workshop at the AI Engineer conference last week. The idea was to try to optimize a CLI that your agent could use to call a remote service to process and fulfi…

I’m building this! It was originally designed for human accessibility for interactive CLIs, but it turned out to be really useful for giving agents the ability to follow structured…

I’m partial to jina.ai — they have open models for code and prose, all easily runnable locally.

Supercritical CO2 extraction is pretty innocuous. Just buy good decaf from a place that doesn’t bathe their beans in toxic waste.

I’m building something similar with https://github.com/LabLeaks/special (apologies for the desultory slop-laden README, need to give that a lot more human attention) but I’ve gone …

Amazingly, there is already a recognized verb tense for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophetic_perfect_tense

There is no evidence of this. Evals are quite different from "self-evals". The only robust way of determining if LLM instructions are "good" is to run them through the intended mod…

Haha no that’s change - 4.4x MORE expletives per word in the last week.

There are indeed non-expletive words that can contribute to the denominator, though I use them less and less these days.

Running some quick analysis against my .claude jsonl files, comparing the last 7 days against the prior 21: - expletives per message: 2.1x - messages with expletives: 2.2x - explet…

claudebar wraps Claude Code in a detachable, resumable tmux session with a nice status bar (showing things like session usage % and the new Peak vs. Off-Peak status), interactive s…

Thousands of words to say: - cosmic voids are real but not actually empty, just lower density than average - pop science articles sometimes mistakenly use pictures of Bok globules …

Along these lines, I’m working on a tool called Spotless[0] that takes a more HTTP proxy-based approach to make statefulness something the agent doesn’t have to worry about. It dir…

There’s also the excellent Coding Machines (2009): https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/coding-machines/

That and Brooks’ underrated “The Design of Design” are notable for having an almost impossible density of quotable aphorisms on every page. They’re all so relevant today that it’s …

Isn’t this just an API sandbox? Many services have a test/sandbox mode. I do wish they were more common outside of fintech.

I just built something similar, specific to Claude Code. It runs as a transparent HTTP proxy that reads & rewrites the entire messages array that CC sends to its API. Same “dreamin…

> lower-class people are in a sort of local maxima If the writer knew that the correct term is “maximum” (singular) and misused the Latin on purpose, this is brilliant. Failing tha…

I don’t know, Simon has had a pretty sane and level head on his shoulders on this stuff. To my mind he’s earned the right to be taken seriously when talking about approaches he has…

If someone with coprolalia is involuntarily induced to say the most awful, inappropriate thing possible in a given situation, doesn’t shouting slurs show that they aren’t racist? S…

On the waitlist — please announce it there!

What in the House of Leaves is this website

Hi! Have you published the concept dictionary yet? I’m looking into using Steerling to investigate how different moral scenarios elicit various responses in LLMs (using Haidt MFT c…
