It's quite sad that application interoperability requires parsing bitmaps instead of exchanging structured information. Feels like a devastating failure in how we do computing.
The people have chosen apps over protocols.

#232Earlier quoted context omitted.
Next release patch notes: * Fixed bug where Claude got bored during compile times and started editing Wikipedia articles to claim that birds aren't real * Blocked news.ycombinator.com in the Docker image's hosts file to avoid spurious flamewar posts (Note: The site is still recovering from the last insident) * Addressed issue of Claude procrastinating on debugging by creating elaborate ASCII art in Vim * Patched tend…
* Claude now identifies itself in chats to avoid endless chat with itself
What if a user identifies as Claude too?

#234Of course there's great inefficiency in having the Claude software control a computer with a human GUI mediating everything, but it's necessary for many uses right now given how much we do where only human interfaces are easily accessible. If something like it takes off, I expect interfaces for AI software would be published, standardized, etc. Your customers may not buy software that lacks it. But what I really want…
I hope specialized interfaces for AI never happen. I want AI to use human interfaces, because I want to be empowered to use the same interfaces as AI in the future. A future where only AI can do things because it uses an incomprehensible special interface and the human interface is broken or non-existent is a dystopia. I also want humanoid robots instead of specialized non-humanoid robots for the same reason.

#235Cursor AI already have the option to switch to using claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 in the chat box. I was about to try to add a custom API. I’m impressed by the speed of that team.
It's literally just adding one extra entry to a configuration file.

actually, that's what makes chat gpt powerful. I like an LLM willing to go along with what ever I am trying to do, because one day I might be coding, and another day I might be just trying to role play, write a book, what ever. I really cant understand what you were expecting, a tool works with how you use it, if you smack a hammer into your face, don't complain about a bloody nose. maybe dont do like that?
So if you're trying to write code and mistakenly ask it how to use a nonexistent API, you'd rather it give you garbage rather than explaining your mistake and helping you fix it? After all, you're clearly just roleplaying, right?

Have it print a summary of you and stick it in your prompt
Yeah, there was an interesting prompt making rounds recently, something like "Summarize everything you know about me" and leveraging ChatGPT's memory feature to provide insights about oneself. My only trouble with the memory feature is it remembers things that aren't important, like "user is trying to write an async function" and other transient tasks, which is more about what I was doing some random Tuesday and not…
> My only trouble with the memory feature is it remembers things that aren't important, like "user is trying to write an async function"
This wasn't a problem until a week or two ago in my case, but lately it feels like it's become much more aggressive in trying to remember everything as long-term defining features. (It's also annoying on the UI side that it tells you "Memory updated", but if you click through and go to the list of memories it has, the one it just told you it stored doesn't appear there! So you can't delete it right away when it makes a mistake, it seems to take at least a few minutes until that part of the UI gets updated.)

Can we stop with these useless strawberry examples?

I know, but similar updates to Copilot would probably take over a year and they designed it in a way that we got the update now without having to reinstall it.

It's bad at directly working on classical computer problems like math and data processing. But you can do it indirectly by having it write a program that produces the correct result. Interestingly, I didn't even have to have it run the program, although usually you would
write a tool which counts the number of w's in "strawberry" and return the result
Here's a simple Python function that counts the number of 'w's in the word "strawberry" and returns the result:
```python
def count_w_in_strawberry():
word = "strawberry"
count = word.count('w')
return count
# Call the function and print the result
result = count_w_in_strawberry()
print(f"The number of 'w's in 'strawberry' is: {result}")
```
This tool does the following:
1. We define a function called `count_w_in_strawberry()`.
2. Inside the function, we assign the word "strawberry" to a variable called `word`.
3. We use the `count()` method on the `word` string to count the occurrences of 'w'.
4. The function returns the count.
5. Outside the function, we call `count_w_in_strawberry()` and store the result in the `result` variable.
6. Finally, we print the result.
When you run this code, it will output:
```
The number of 'w's in 'strawberry' is: 1
```
This tool correctly identifies that there is one 'w' in the word "strawberry".
