Also, what exactly are they acquiring? $200 of tokens to make this thing?

Compaction might as well be the "stop whatever you're doing and find a way to dump context" alarm.

Very much reminds me of my time in college when Wolfram Alpha just came out yet professors didn't catch on that any type of HW exercises were free points, so if you weren't at least using it to check your work you were giving up free space on the grading curve.

The insider trading is the point

I feel like the season has a relatively high floor because of the schedule, but as always if FA and development works out they're going to be contenders (and won't be if it doesn't)

Kind of middle of nowhere of Iowa, but I have indeed been to his Presidential museum

Kind of a wild thing about Hoover is that for a Republican President his big thing was centralizing and streamlining government procurement (and of course was the sacrificial lamb that gave us FDR)

My guess is you'll get better performance if you bootstrap up a skill to use

"wAs THe bOMbE CONcIOus beCAusE iT cRAckEd ENiGmA?"

No dog, it's just a really effective turing machine

You can point Claude code at the Internet with some type of search query and it will generally hoover everything up to exhaustion. I disagree that is what "research" is, but can't really outperform the aggregation of sources at this point

I mean with tool calling you just needed a python wrapper around shell scripts. Tech with Tim did a local file as "memory" years ago at this point.

In this breaking partnership between OpenAI, the DoW, and casketsunlimited.ai, let your loved one stretch his arm from beyond the grave right into your pocket to finally give you the piece of mind by providing the funeral service they always wanted.

Venezuela essentially opened the doors for them on Maduro and you can guess what lessons they took from that

The thing about daddy politics is threatening the belt only goes so far and eventually everyone gains the courage to stand up to dad because the alternative is so miserable.

No one can admit that perhaps these things got better.

I remember around two years ago where you had to set up chromadb and do word embeddings and make a RAG like it's a big thing. Now you really can give these things 60 page documents and it can generally retrieve info.

It's very similar to the silly manager-class type who wants to immediately dump all of their most sensitive data into these things and ask "what's the answer to the universe?"

Breaking down and explaining problems are still going to be core skills.

Using a survey from July of last year is silly when most developers state that the turning point was the high-end models at the end of last year.

"Sir, you may consider my bug a massive security vulnerability, but on the other hand it's also a Kalshi insider trading opportunity"

Best use case at the moment is to take some government public API, build a CLI around it, and have Claude write you a script to get what you need. One of those "do we really want to maintain when the government changes their mind?" projects that goes from a week or so of work into a few hours.

Mike Huckabee being in a 21st century Zionist version of The Shaggs would be very funny though

A real "fun" game of guess what the dumbest outcome could be

Building CLIs and then letting the coding agent go at it is a pretty good strategy.

MCPs are more a distribution/packaging tactic IMO. You use them when you want to build some tools and then have someone else be able to use them.

"Shocking" that those who said they would learn the wrong lessons from Venezuela was absolutely right

They're calling it "eats, shoots, and leaves-ing our way through the fall of Rome"

They're calling it "eats, shoots, and leaves-ing our way through the fall of Rome"

They're calling it "eats, shoots, and leaves-ing our way through the fall of Rome"

"We will make it illegal to download a thing on your computer that only needs a decent GPU and makes software essentially free" great plan

These people don't even need to use American models. Download opencode and use the free models. Again, what are we going to do? Burn the linear algebra down?

I'm starting to think there's a big gap between people who have spent any time with these things and the agitpropped weirdo who think these things are useless.

What are we going to do? Get rid of huggingface?
