It would have been a lot more interesting if her has just explained Beads (the only thing her claims is novel). So probably there is nothing here. Very painful read.
nb: current models (e.g. GPT 5.6 Sol) are very good at long horizon tasks they no longer need crutches or rube goldberg machines to keep them going minimal agent harness is just a loop that loops until no more tool calls are coming GPT 5.6 Sol continues to drive the loop until the task is done or it decides that it wants to present the user with information at that point it is probably good to not automatically conti…
I hear so much about people running into token limits and using bajillions of tokens. Am I doing something wrong? I'm finding it hard to run into the limits of a Claude Max (20x) account. Well, perhaps the 50% Fable limit is something I have to be aware of, but otherwise this more than I can consume. I am the limiting factor: my capability to review code and design documents. I use it to develop a large MRP-style app…
The guy built an engine designed to burn tokens: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*85x... Each little critter in there is a component that both consumes and produces tokens, and it runs in a feedback loop, so each token inserted into the machine will cause it burn exponentially more tokens in order to output yet another token. Ostensibly its purpose is to create software, but what it does is ve…

Forgive me if a dumb question, but is there no compaction? Do you ever run out of context?
I think it is worth adding support for it though
I used to like Steve's posts. They were all way too long, but a fun and interesting read nonetheless. He started to lose me when at Sourcegraph where he oversell Cody which didn't do anything useful (I even had a commercial meeting with Sourcegraph people who weren't of much help); then he completely lost me with his GasTown business where AI meets crypto (what could possibly go wrong with that). Now I can't read any…
> They were all way too long And still are. When I got to his "Lots to cover today! Let's get to it.", I was like "wait, we haven't started yet?" I used to read his stuff regularly prior to his Sourcegraph days, and I don't recall why I stopped. Completely agree that he was always fun to read. So I was really disappointed to start reading this one (I'll leave the tab open, but probably won't finish it). Sounds like h…
All this for a game that has 123 "Mixed" reviews on Steam? My face was twisted in cringe the entire time. Oof.
What's that? The Beads repo itself is littered with Markdown files? And now we need a "brain" to go with Beads, which is also a directory of Markdown files? Weird, kind of makes it seem like the whole thing was performance art.
> Beads is unfortunately still a bit janky, because its unique work footprint strains databases pretty hard
This is a sign that your architecture completely jumped the shark by the way.
> Now I know exactly what is going on. I know how enterprises will operate, how humans and models will interact. And I am out there building it. I want to be first. This guy's under a heavy AI psychosis
“Now I know exactly what is going on” is what Claude says right before it commits a baffling blunder.
