I’ve been using the same OneNote for like 20 years now. It is backed up, synced and available no matter what device I’m on. Hundreds of lists, notes, references, thoughts, all full…

Sure, so you tell the model, here's a command prompt, what do you type next? Ideally, it types commands, but a lesser model may just type what it's thinking which is invalid. You c…

Throwing this out there, I have a command line driver for LLMs. Lots of little tricks in there to adapt the CLI to make it amiable for LLMs. Like interrupting a long running proces…

Thanks for trying it. If you click near the edge you should be able to drag it somewhere else.

Show HN: A persistent volume slider for the Windows taskbar
A small dumb app that allows changing the volume quickly from the taskbar in a single click. Not super interesting, but maybe practically useful for you guys. I made it pretty fast…

AI advancement is coming at us both ways - orders of magnitude more compute, with orders of magnitude more efficiency. Hyper exponential.

Show HN: Sketch Comedy Database
There isn't anywhere on the web the catalogs individual sketches and links them together so hoping to build it out with others who enjoy sketch comedy. Just a fun side project buil…

I mean we have contexts now so large it dwarfs human short term memory right? And then in terms of reading a book, a model's training could be updated with the book, right?

Humans are also trained on what they’ve ‘seen’. What else is there? Idk if humans actually come up with ‘new’ ideas or just hallucinate on what they’ve experienced in combination w…

Opus seems to be much better at that. Probably why it’s so much more expensive. AI companies have to balance costs. I wonder if the public has even seen the most powerful, full fid…

Sometimes I'll tell two agents very explicitly to share the work, "you work on this, the other should work on that." And one of the agents ends up delegating all their work to the …

The step changes in autonomy are very obvious and significant from gpt-3, -4, and to Opus. From my point of view given the kinds of dumb mistakes it makes, it's really just a matte…

LLMs Getting Stuck in the MUD
I tried building a MUD with GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus. They were able to give me the initial setup no problem, but iterating on it was a disaster. This article goes over my experienc…

Amalgamating the pieces is the test. LLMs really can't do it that well. Is it context size, training, number of iterations, number of agents? That's what's being tried to improve t…
