    I got Opus to knock out an MCP server that implements subagents running in pi and tell Opus to send work to DeepSeek. Or I tell it to ask GPT-5.5 for critiques. It's manual but sav…

    Also, from a comment in another thread, from roon, who works at OpenAI: > codex-5.2 is really amazing but using it from my personal and not work account over the weekend taught me …

    Not magical thinking, not conspiratorial, just hypothetical. Just because you can't afford to 10x all your customers' inference doesn't mean you can't afford to 10x your inhouse in…

    I was thinking about inhouse model inference speeds at frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI after reading the "Claude built a C compiler" article. Having higher inference speed …

    This is “why are we going to space when we haven’t cured cancer” reasoning.

    I'm building my take on a low-touch task completion assistant designed to counter distraction and hyper-habituation. It's starting off as a MacOS app because that's the machine I h…

    Piracy might not hurt sales, but 1000 publishers putting out their own copies of your book/game/song/poster/miniature once it hits the market will. That's why I can accept copyrigh…

    Are these numbers full time employees only or total FTEs? Because it mentions Walmart: "Walmart’s full-time employees number remained relatively constant for the last 10 years". Wo…

    I found it made me think and act sleep deprived even though I didn't feel it and also increased anxiety. Guanfacine is also an alternative, and it's method of action also makes it …

    You might be how surprised how low a dose you need for an effect. 5-10ug of Ritalin noticeably reduces the "noise floor" for me. How do you take 5-10ug? Dissolve 10mg in a litre of…

    What size gemma are you using? Is the refactoring running independently or managed by you?

    Gave it a try. After a few minutes I felt more like I was recognising the samples than I was recognising the notes. Not sure what you can do about that short of physically modeling…

    This definition of AGEs is interesting (linked from the article, same site): "Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) form when proteins and fats (lipids) in the body react with sug…

    I like msty.app. Parallel prompting across multiple commercial and local models plus branching dialogs. Doesn’t do artifacts, etc, though.

    Interesting. I have the exact opposite issue. Hypervigilance and all that.

    People out there trying build some semblance of AI out of an LLM using larger and larger networks of “agents” that generate, classify, revise and verify data using the same LLM the…

    I've never seen this before. I love the design. It's like a drum machine for spreadsheets. And it's from 1983, the same year the Tandy Model 100 was released. A good year for gadge…

    I look at all the advice on prompts and I don't feel like the "Frame Problem" has been solved. It feels like it has shifted into the "Frame Invocation Problem". And it is this very…
