why can't this be a cli tool? then you can get an agent to write a script that programmatically calls the cli tool in addition to the agent calling it directly.

there is an activation energy cost to so many activities - so those things just never got done. many times it is because the cost-benefit wasn't clear at the start (unknown unknown…

then have ai write a deterministic transformation tool that turns it into the specific style and standard that is needed

i had gpt-5.4 write a 6502 font version of this font [1] in between working on other things. super fun and learned a lot by watching it do its thing. [1] https://github.com/jflam/6…

tbf neither does anthropic

This is what ACP and https://github.com/zed-industries/claude-code-acp enables. ACP controls agents - there is native support in Copilot CLI and Gemini and adapters for claude code…

Around 1980, while taking a "Saturday Morning Class" in Toronto - I discovered that there was a lab of ~24 Commodore PET 2001 (8K - blue phosphor, chiclet keyboards) at George Brow…

First thank you for coming up with this idea. Love it. In the spirit of "tools for thought" I think this scratches an important itch. Someone called the output "egregious, obviousl…

Totally agree with this. I have seen many cases where a dumber model gets trapped in a local minima and burns a ton of tokens to escape from it (sometimes unsuccessfully). In a toy…

I would say that "don't let perfect be the enemy of the good" here. Would universal be better? Sure. But what I saw is so much better than what we currently have here in the US. Th…

But why do social hubs need to be places of financial transactions? I was in Delft recently and I really loved their library/community center. Full of music practice rooms, people …

one thing that i find works really well is to ask it to research things in the codebase and write a plan first. codex with gpt-5 is exceedingly good at doing this. then ask it to w…

even with t=0 they are stochastic. e.g., non associative nature of floating point operations

I used to own COM at Microsoft; I think that MCP is the current re-instantiation of the ideas from COM and that English is now the new scripting language.

The models are the same, but the actual prompts sent to the model are likely somewhat different because of the agentic loop - so I would imagine (without having done the experiment…

Right. But you can copy paste that into a separate doc and have Claude Code merge it in (and not a literal merge - a semantic merge "integrate relevant parts of this research into …

Did you use Claude Code to write the post? I'm finding that I'm using it for 100% of my own writing because agentic editing of markdown files is so good (and miles better than what…

You can listen to him talk about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbFM3rn4ldo

Python is the most popular language for data analysis with a rich ecosystem of existing libraries for that task. Incidentally I've worked on many products in the past, and I've nev…

As a counterpoint to a lot of the speculation on this thread, if you're interested in learning more about how and why we designed Python in Excel, I wrote up a doc (that is quite o…

The second point makes sense. It gives Apple optionality to cut off the external LLMs at a later date if they want to. I wonder what % of requests will be handled by the private cl…

It seems like this is an orchestration layer that runs on Apple Silicon, given that ChatGPT integration looks like an API call from that. It's not clear to me what is being compute…

I bought my shareware copy of DOOM from WBB, alongside many other books.

This is a giant dataset of 536GB of embeddings. I wonder how much compression is possible by training or fine-tuning a transformer model directly using these embeddings, i.e., no t…

How large is the set of binaries needed to do this training job? The current pytorch + CUDA ecosystem is so incredibly gigantic and manipulating those container images is painful b…
