Nice article, but I don’t fully understand why the author argues for such an aversion to static functions. > Moreover, it breaks the systematic approach of sending messages to an i…

Interesting idea, so I had to check! Prompt: “Top language pick for an Android app? Respond with only the language.” Responses (admittedly via the aichat CLI, not an agent harness;…

Well at ≈15k tps, I think the bottleneck will not be the model (reasoning or tool calling), and attention will be shifted to the harness’ engineering again. Probably, the usual ini…

It’s not reasoning, the hardware demo uses a 3.-something generation Llama 8B. But it’s proven they can automate this (they didn’t etch eight billion weights by hand after all, obv…

> IMO there's no excuse for new software sticking dotfiles in my homedir in 2026. Agreed, and also, tinfoil hat time: I believe they opt for this so that state and config files don…

Is it also a solved problem for smaller models, as the article mentioned?

Soooo… when can we expect an encrypted handoff.md to fully prevent session portability, then? (Only half-/s)

Unfortunately I don’t recall anymore, since this took place at my father’s PV installation. I’ll try to post an update when/if I get exact numbers, though!

Oh, I didn’t interpret the above question as asking in that direction; but yeah, that’s of course something I didn’t attempt to answer with my comment. Although I’d be intrigued in…

Thanks for the detailed writeup, these all make a lot of sense. My only other tell (hadn’t committed the time to reading the rest of the paper nor looking into the author yet) so f…

Not who you responded to, but I’ll give it a try. Imagine our LLM as this one-dimensional matrix (instead of unfathomably many, many more dimensions): 0.728201017 -1.9293839303 2.9…

Which is why big labs have been working hard on making their harness not be stateless any longer: https://earendil.com/posts/session-portability/ “Just take the session thread to a…

Unfortunately I really don’t understand enough to judge about that. Could you tell me some things that made you go with a “buzzword salad” sentiment? Not as a gotcha or anything, j…

Why can’t your two criteria be applied to projects with human contributors without further due diligence?

I’ve actually started ignoring services where that’s the only login possibility. Sorry even if your platform is the greatest thing ever, but I’ll find a different tool. I’ve read o…

That’s the downside of requiring infinite (in the sense of “never-ending”) growth, and not being content “just” with profit.

As another anecdata-point, when we did this for a now already fairly old roof installation of about 15kWp, it was more than “just about worthwhile”, since the panel area is contigu…

Bun uses JavaScriptCore, which is Safari’s JS engine, for the actual interpreter portion of its runtime. Which makes the parent comment’s “Bun performance hacks and optimizations” …

Wasteful by whose standards? If you’re an alien civilization with several dyson spheres, surely at some point you’d have sufficient energy/resources even for such a “hopeless” scie…

10 to 15 years from now the scale of LLM efficiency improvements is, quite literally, unpredictable . It could be that the company valuations crash tomorrow, and (almost) only perf…

Exactly. AFAIK none of the popular "open Chinese" models have published the full pre- and post-training pipeline, so the models are only partially open, if at all (plus the openly …
