You make a lot of assumptions here... that I disagree with something about the article (aside from with its quality) and post rationalized somehow, that it has anything to do with …

You might not have noticed that essentially the entire blog post was AI written. There's even this bit where they discover a remarkable trick: > Each round trip to the database has…

Also, the hardest part on the reader imo: Language that conveys an unearned sense of importance and emotion in appropriate places.

I'm not sure they prefer it. I think tech companies have been pushing apps as the default solution for a long time and people accept it because they just want to do whatever thing …

I took a quick look at the source code and it looks like, yes, using /prompt during a session will rebuild the session with a new preamble/system prompt, causing a full cache miss …

It sounds like you're saying that /prompt changes the system message part of the session. Doesn't that cause a cache break and result in higher usage/cost?

This comment is pure LLM. I feel like we're right on the threshold where we give up and start interacting with slop like it's human written.

It's absolutely LLM prose, though not all of it. Maybe the author rewrote parts. The thing that concerns me is that even at a site like HN, where a lot of people are very familiar …

I believe the argument is that LLMs are stateless. So if the session writing the code isn't the same session that wrote the spec, it's effectively a clean room implementation. Ther…

Assuming this isn't a hoax, this seems like a huge, probably unintentional, mistake by MS. If they genuinely implemented something like this, whatever they made from new customers …

The browser is very straightforward, about 300 lines implementing all of the various actions you'd want an agent to have access to in puppeteer: const puppeteer = require('puppetee…

I haven't been following the claws but I built something like this recently. Self hosted, runs through signal, supports group chat (with whitelisted accounts). I just finished sett…

You can expand it beyond novel applications. The models aren't good enough for autonomous coding without a human in the loop period. They can one shot basic changes and refactors, …

I don't follow the logic that "it hallucinates so it's useless". In the context of codebases I know for sure that they can be useful. Large datasets too. Are they also really bad a…

Finding patterns in large datasets is one of the things LLMs are really good at. Genetics is an area where scientists have already done impressive things with LLMs. However you fee…

And those weren't the only tells. Right now it's cringey but I have a sinking feeling that it's in the process of becoming normal. The post is on the front page after all. Which me…

As one of the lucky 1/10000, holy shit that was amazing. Thank you. To everyone else: I acknowlege that this post is not adding value but if you were one of the lucky 1/10000 you w…

The problem with this, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, is that the model's responses go into the context. So if it has to reinvent the wheel every session by writin…

As a side note, despite its popularity, Texas hold'em is just one type of poker game. In most poker games (5 draw, 7 stud, etc..) you ante every hand.

PHP 5 is as close to phased out as it gets at this point. No doubt it's still in a lot of legacy enterprise codebases (lots of breaking changes going from 5 to 7 or 8), but outside…

Some examples off the top of my head: - Many plastics contain known endocrine disrupters like BPA that have been shown to get into people's bodies and correlate with negative healt…

The grocery chain has to spend money to buy the products. A better comparison might be a flea market or fair where the organizers take 27% of gross receipts from each vendor, even …

Maybe a rhetorical question but I think there are a few answers. One is that some people think that's what professional sounds like, this sort of dated, verbose corporate "believe …

The first half of the post actually does refer to the message. Hyperbolically sure, but I don't think they're wrong. Here's a less hyperbolic interpretation: Women don't seem to li…

I suspect they're referring to experiments like the famous "Rat Park". There is clearly a strong social and environmental component to addiction susceptibility, at least in rats. I…
