Agreed that people claiming “marketing stunt” need to pull their heads out the sand, but likewise Simon needs to do some of his own beach-cranium-dislodging for laying the blame of constraints on the US govt. Before the export controls were ever floated, Glasswind found many thousands of exploits, and offered patches/fixes for approximately none of them. (perhaps their exploit capability far outstrips their remediation capability, or perhaps they’ve calculated that it somehow better suits their business model to find exploits but not remediations).

You never hear anyone talking about “imposter syndrome” anymore, do you?

    An AI agent, 600k tokens into a feature that it just authored, understands the feature as well or better than I do.

On this, we are in complete agreement.

No, the driving through Chinatown question is a question for self-driving cars. It is not a question for LLMs. There is some other question for LLMs, and the author is using the ancient technique of analogy to get you to think about that question.

Very concerning - I’ve tried n+m, n*m, n^m, and even m^n, but I can’t seem to reproduce the popular “10x” claim.

    If enough capital has been installed before learning removes the wedge, the economy lands in the high-capital state,

I’m gonna need an honest caveat on the load-bearing assumption here.

Post a picture of one of these with the “X” key conspicuously removed and you’d probably get a repost from Sam

Vyvanse is dexamphetamine. I suppose you can say “amphetamines” instead, I imagine the subtleties of the terminology differ quite a bit in different places.

Strattera can help (I mentioned bupropion, another SDNRI). Of course if you try stimulants and don’t respond well, it’s totally fine to just use e.g. Strattera. What I’m advocating against is e.g. “try Strattera first, if it seems to help, don’t bother with stimulants”. (Some places, cultures, or medical systems do have surprisingly strong biases against stimulants!)

    This could be due to ADD, I am still getting tested. Granted, that's a diagnosis, not a root cause.

No, it’s a diagnosis of the root cause - in fact, it is plausibly the root cause of everything else described in the post. Inability to complete work, procrastination/distraction by focusing on nearby tasks, the pervasive sense that you struggle with things that other people do not, even the depression (untreated ADD causing repeated failures, repeated failures causing depression). To understand why it really could be the root cause, you can read up on “executive dysfunction”, which is what ADD really is.

The treatment for ADD is one of two medications, methylphenidate or dexamphetamine. You can try other things in addition to these, but not instead of these, and you should try both - there really is just no substitute.

(In some places, bupropion can be prescribed as an antidepressant. It has effects that also help with executive dysfunction, so you may find it to be more effective than serotonin-based antidepressants.)

Having trouble finding the motivation to grade that fifth essay in a row that starts with “Certainly, here’s a possible introduction to your essay”? Just ask Claude to grade it instead!

Naturally it depends on how well Cloudflare built this implementation. In the abstract, though, a sufficiently accurate prediction system should expect to recover the causal structure of the phenomenon it is attempting to predict, and thus an imitator hoping to defeat the predictor should expect to contain the same causal structure (i.e. physical simulation of a human hand to arbitrary level of detail).

Near the end of their methods:

    For each likely AI-generated target, we search human controls from the same repository and same programming language, controlling for project-level practices … We also apply size matching: a control must be within 20% lines of code of the AI target

And then from the start of their results and analysis:

    Comparing the lines of code (LOC) between AI-generated and human-written files, we observed no statistically significant differences

Here I would expect some sort of caveat that this result is a verification that their size-matching was effective in removing differences in lines of code between the target and control. However, there is no such thing, indicating to me that the authors are unaware that what they are detecting are the effects of their own methods. This leads me to strongly discount their stated insight regarding structural differences, and frankly the rest of their paper too.

    For mechanical work–things like bumping versions, fixing failing tests, checking documentation for inconsistencies–the clankers have proven their worth (even before LLMs, anybody remember dependabot?)!

    The way to fix that, of course, is automated processes and mechanical guardrails. Automatic enforcement of style, automatic testing and linting and formatting–same as ever. 

    We can use the whale fall tokens to build that machinery.

This seems to be the main contention of the post, however it leaves me confused as to what the author specifically thinks should happen. “We should have the AIs generate more dependabots”?

Granted, but we’re talking about agents, which fundamentally presumes the obsolescence of concepts like “end user” and “good software”.

What do you think a tool call is? What is this small but crucial difference between a `read_file` tool call and `scp`?

If your contention is just that this should upload files one by one instead of all at once, what you want is for providers to facilitate the illusion of privacy.

Well said. I hope one day it becomes possible for users who choose to install and run said software to also be able to remember this.

The jitter you add has to specifically be “jitter that mimics human cursor movement”, which is extraordinarily non-trivial to synthesise.

If you decide that your entire home directory is the project, as the OP did by setting the repo_path to ~/, then, well… I mean, if you ask me, I don’t recommend it, but it’s your computer and your free will.
