More accurate to say restaurants are about people, not food. May be an apt analogy - chefs and cooks spend their time in the kitchen preparing food for a diner they don’t see.

This makes me think - should we be using non-monospace fonts for coding agent chat to improve readability? Wonder if we can get Claude and Codex to do that automatically in support…

In my testing, models don't really know their own name - I would be very suspicious of --model actually revealing the real model name

I had exactly this use case - in a grocery store in the Alps, no internet, fired up a local LLM on my phone to figure out what to cook and what to buy

Wow, this is pretty scary. LLMs have made phishing attempts look so much more legit, and the damage they can do so much greater.

This is big, but until we have policy clarity we can’t trust it. I’ve always migrated all of our agents to Pi SDK, we aren’t going back

In contrast, I’m on the $200 max plan for Codex and I hit the 5 hour limit near daily at work. I typically am having it work on about 5 tasks an hour. I’ve never hit a 5 hour limit…

Yeah it’s hard to call that cheating from a model. Maybe “disqualifying” is more accurate

We saw this too with Gemini specifically. My favorite example - we built a hallucination detector (given the input, does the output make any false claims) in Gemini, and after the …

Imagine you try two products you’ve never heard of. You prefer one over the other. Was it marketing? That’s what’s happening here. Marketing can get you to try something you wouldn…

This is dope! We basically built something very similar internally for our team and it's been a very natural and intuitive way to manage agents (as opposed to having a bunch of ter…

Yes, but they expire in ways that unions don’t

PSA - you can run something like `npm install -g npm@11.10.0; npm config set min-release-age=3` to update to a version of npm that supports the min-release-age configuration

Pnpm - installs are faster to boot. We haven’t missed anything

Did not know this was a thing, kudos to her for speaking out!

This is a really neat bridge between “looks cool” and “feels like you’re there”. Inferring real life properties like lighting is a cool trick and just the beginning I’m sure. I’m e…

I might call it a few different things, but spyware seems disingenuous until we learn that it’s actually spying…

The question is - if the SOTA model disappear - do these follow-on models have the ability to improve themselves without distillation?

I for one enjoyed this very long essay. It should've been a lot shorter, but you also didn't have to read it, it says right there in the title :)

Love this idea. Working with AI assistants, I find it easier to push to GitHub to look at the changes, rather than use my IDE. I wish that wasn’t the case, so this makes a ton of s…

Fascinating article. Also extremely confusing (though probably not unexpected) that an important health researcher is named Nestle.

I for one would love this - if it’s done well - except that it would presumably be locked in to OpenAI agents

These narratives are so strange to me. It's not at all obvious why the arrival of AGI leads to human extinction or increasing our lifespan by thousands of years. Still, I like this…

I get the appeal, but it seems too early for one AI tool to be able to do "everything". I'm guessing there's some company out there trying to automate each of these tasks and deali…

In my opinion, what you need is a person (or three), not a book :) Someone who relies on you, whatever the context, is some of the greatest motivation out there.
