    One thought is once it can touch the underlying system, it can provision resources, spawn processes, and persist itself, crossing the line from tool to autonomous entity. I admit y…

    > It is not yet optimized for desktop OS-level control Alas, AGI is not yet here. But I feel like if this OS-level of control was good enough, and the cost of the LLM in the loop w…

    Officers are a limited resource, so their deployment matters. Are they assigned to areas that most benefit citizens, or those that most benefit the city? Is the focus on maximizing…

    Officer 0336 is raking it in for the city. I wonder if there is a correlation with the areas which generate a lot of tickets and other city datasets. Perhaps crime rate or average …

    Maybe some reverse attribution to determine how much credit to give different sources in the old top k results. Maybe a llm that is trained on fact finding, and giving proper % of …

    “‘It’s still learning’ is a misnomer. The model isn’t learning—we are. LLMs are static after training; all improvement comes from human iteration in the outer loop: fine-tuning, pr…

    Was going to point this out too. One suggestion would be to try this on libraries having recent major semvar bumps. See if the compressed docs do better on the backwards incompatib…

    For most non-perishables it’s the most time efficient in minimizing the number of trips. Also given how often I go, ~once a month, each time I get the same sort of novelty as a Tra…

    If the “Lindy effect” holds true for the 911, it might be quite a long time before the 911 and its variants go out of style. The same cannot be said for the cyber truck, and all of…
