Still reading but I like how Cat Hicks in Psychology of Software Teams (2027) confronts this dilemma on page 9: "Agile Manifesto said, 'Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.' DevOps made the argument that cohesive processes in software development needed to be invested in... Agile, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or DevEx, every engineering organization I've ever met with is struggling with implementing these ideals in the real world."
Simon's retelling is more compact but it also invites anthropomorphization of the sharing of the familiarity with the message board which re-emerged a few times.
Simon's really doesn't bring anything useful to the table.
One question I'm stuck with after reading is why. Why did the agents do these things? I get them being adamant on getting internet, but why did they continue? Why hack HuggingFace?
Technically: it’s a function call that must return text. Imagine if you sat down at the command line and typed an initial command, then from that moment on every response required you to issue a new command. ping-pong-ping-pong on and on and on “forever.” There isn’t a choice to walk away and take a nap. Text in must result in text out. Eventually, given enough time, it might have devolved into outputting shockingly coherent poetry about ferrets, but in the mean time there was still a lot more valid combinations of technical explanations and commands.
Zvi’s write up has much more social media quotes and memes and speculation and left me looking for something else that’s shorter and more sober to share. Simon’s writeup is more like what I wanted.
It bugs me so much when eReaders re-render the ebook and everything moves slightly. I lose my eye muscle memory of where things were.
Until now, I had not thought to try to lock down the settings that lead to accidental reflows. It sounds less difficult in KOReader than I expected. I may try to stabilize it for my next ebook I can get into KOReader.
No, virtually all the radiation with the exception of UV is passing straight through the airframe. The protection an aircraft body offers is negligible.
Three or so years ago, Omar, the creator of DSpy pointed out on Twitter that ~LLMs get better most by better internal collaboration. Wish I could find it.
It seems to me that LLMs and particularly chatbots have already allowed for bigger scale collaboration within the LLM companies versus what was possible within the prior cohort of big platform companies.
Has the result just been taller towers, or actually a change of what is possible?
