Turns out I was onto something
This is super cool… It's interesting to see it build. I can't tell if the agent will run indefinitely, but it's been going for 7 or 8 minutes now, constantly tweaking its composition. I find this approach to be more…
Because Opus 4.6 is better than 4.5. So if it's true that Sonnet 5 was so good they gave it the Opus name, does that mean there was an Opus upgrade that didn't pan out? And what is Sonnet 4.6? An upgraded Haiku? Just…
yes, pretty much
Agreed, this is exciting, and has me thinking about completely different orchestrator patterns. You could begin to approach the solution space much more like a traditional optimization strategy such as CMA-ES. Rather…
Man, I'm in the exact opposite camp. 1 smart model beats 1000 chaos monkeys any day of the week.
If that's true, it would be surprising; the current Sonnet 4.6 is not in the same league as either Opus 4.5 or 4.6, either anecdotally or on benchmarks.
I think it's simpler than that. AI, like the internet, just makes it easier to communicate boring thoughts. Boring thoughts always existed, but they generally stayed in your home or community. Then Facebook came along,…
More lossy than the current non-English behavior?
I've been pleasantly surprised by the Claude integration with Xcode. Overall, it's a huge downgrade from Claude Code's UX (no way to manually enter plan mode, odd limitations, poor Xcode-specific tool use adherence,…
Do you think there would be value in a workflow that translates all non-English input to English first, then evaluates it, and translates back as needed?
Difficulty is the only true moat. [Astronaut: always has been] Current examples: esoteric calculations that are not public knowledge; historical data that you collected and someone else didn't; valuable proprietary…
This is what excited me about Sonnet 4.6. I've been running Opus 4.6, and switched over to Sonnet 4.6 today to see if I could notice a difference. So far, I can't detect much if any difference, but it doesn't hit my…
It's more about supply going down (fewer people going into trades), which eventually affects demand for that shrinking pool.
At that point, you'd be relying on a bug in curl / Python / sh, not the bot!
Once demand drives electrician salaries up to $200k/year, the influencer grind will lose some of its shine
Absolutely. This is why I'm hesitant to go full "dark software factory" and try to build agent loops that iterate in YOLO mode without my input. I spent a day last week iterating Skills on a project by giving it the…
It seems intuitive that a naive self-generated Skill would be low-value, since the model already knows whatever it's telling itself. However, I've found them to be useful for capturing instructions on how to use other…
If you've ever tried to build something real with agentic AI, you know that it takes time. You can't (yet) snap your fingers and produce a fully market-viable clone of a SaaS product. The specifics matter here. If you…
Absolutely. I'm glad the linked article exists! Hopefully it can prevent someone who really can't afford it from splurging on expensive cables.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but if people believe they can hear a difference in their $1000 cables, and they enjoy purchasing and testing them, I'm inclined to let them enjoy themselves. I have a basic hi-fi setup…
I love the idea of a living slide deck. This feels like a product that needs to exist!
Interesting—thanks!
With the GLM news yesterday and now this, I'd love to try out one of these models, but I'm pretty tied to my Claude Code workflow. I see there's a workaround for GLM, but how are people utilizing MiniMax, especially for…
Downvoted, but fight me on this… It's important to see what it wrote, but what it read?
