Do the agents come preinstalled in the images? Or do they somehow use whatever I’ve installed locally? The former makes sense to me but then I’m wondering whether the sandbox image…

Were you following any patterns/standards/advice on what you needed to protect against? Anything you can point the rest of us to?

The HuggingFace headline was criticised for being misleading about the level of agency demonstrated by the agent. Is this headline misleading? Is there anything here that I should …

What’s your point in relation to this article?

Wow that is dark. Personal experience?

Do you think that the program design adds a lot on top of pointing out the current patterns? I might be anchored by working with humans, but if I saw a plan for humans that include…

Enjoyed most of this but unconvinced by the program design part. If I see an agent writing function signatures or listing which functions to edit in a plan that tells me that I’ve …

It would be interesting to know what the guardrails are. That would help me with understanding how I can use AI content. For instance I asked Claude to help me draw a diagram to re…

I feel like I'm seeing a maths+AI change from "let's test the limits of LLMs by seeing if they can do useful math" to "LLMs can do useful math, now let's solve lots of problems!", …

Ah of course, I do have a blind spot with local models.

Now that you mention it, Claude has had trouble at times with balancing brackets in the elisp I have it write. Yet I still had the idea that LLMs should be better at lisp than othe…

I haven’t seen an LLM generate syntactically invalid code in any language in … a year? So I don’t know if “more likely to be syntactically valid” is a good enough selling point. Bu…

The 1500 line react component that my unsupervised agentic coding side project produced says that it can get worse than we have now.

org-gcal … bit of a pain getting the Google API config right but so far so good.

Where does “big model highly quantized” start getting worse than “smaller model less quantized”? Is there a general formula or is it just trial and error?

I fetch my google calendar every few minutes to get everything into my agenda. The API request is async, but writing to the calendar file and some additional processing made Emacs …

This post is a breath of pithy fresh air. A small point made with few words that adds something worthwhile to the conversation. On topic: maybe I live in a bubble but I'm surprised…

This must the most compelling look I’ve seen at how software might work with LLMs doing a ton of heavy lifting. There’s something kind of amazing here in that having read about pro…

This is great advice that AI (successfully) tempts me into ignoring.

What happened that made you switch away from contracting?

Yep, this was an issue long before Trump. They’ve just amped up the scale and stopped bothering with the deceit that they know doesn’t bother Americans.

To be clear these projects made it way further than they could have without AI. But any blocker that takes me out of the flow can easily become the thing that ends it. Not even nec…

The “old normal” described in this article sounds hellish. This sounds like all the worst practices that need to be drummed out of people who arrive not knowing what effective engi…

I have multiple side projects that I would never have contemplated building before but whose utility now exceeds the much lower cost to build. I got a few weeks in to each and then…
