I’m not disappointed. It seems philosophically the teams are aligned and Pi as a project can continue and be supported. It’s a better outcome than most could expect.
I’ve been diving into MCP the last few days and it feels quite messy.
It took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out what the difference is between a client, server, and host are. Oh and servers can also be processes that you run locally and clients can spin up the server for you but you need to provide the NPX or UVX command.
The problem it’s supposed to solve is quite real, tools are annoying to build and share so I get that. Looking forward to it getting better but it’s not at the point where any dev can come in and connect things up with a nice dev experience yet.
That's awesome. The original discussion of bitnet made it seem like you needed to train a model from scratch but its neat they were able to adapt an existing model. This is quite exciting.
Yeah, its kind of a bummer. Dropbox doesn't really have a cohesive vision for their productivity suite? Dropbox Paper doesn't seem to have progressed and there haven't been any other notable new products released.
Yeah, I've been meaning to spend more time on it, but I've been switching around to different editors a lot lately, so the constant jumping around means I'm trying to keep my vim keybinds as vanilla as possible.
I recently forced myself to learn vim motions and it's been paying off pretty well. Once it clicked I found myself wanting vim motions everywhere.
I went deep and set up a neovim config, forcing myself to use neovim full time. However my new role requires me to use Intellij and I didn't want to spend hours upon hours figuring out how to replicate the java support in Neovim (and no, it isn't just installing the LSP, my work has some pretty specific intellij setup).
At this point I'm just using Intellij and VSCode with their respective vim plugins and I'm getting about 80% of the utility that I did with pure neovim. The one thing I really love about neovim is that it really forces you to keep your hands on the keyboard and you learn the keybinds very well because otherwise you just can't do the thing you wanted to! I find myself using the mouse a lot in VSCode and Intellij because they give you really handy buttons to click on.
I could probably go pure keyboard if I just sat down and learned all the various keybinds, but who has time for that?
The actual prompt is just a chain of thought prompt and the headline is just clickbait.
Also in the article, the author gets COT wrong.
> What "reasoning" they do (and "reasoning" is a contentious term among some, though it is readily used as a term of art in AI) is borrowed from a massive data set of language phrases scraped from books and the web. That includes things like Q&A forums, which include many examples of "let's take a deep breath" or "think step by step" before showing more carefully reasoned solutions. Those phrases may help the LLM tap into better answers or produce better examples of reasoning or solving problems from the data set it absorbed into its neural network weights.
Chain of thought has nothing to do with “tapping into better answers”. It’s simply asking the model to break up the output into smaller tasks and gives it more time and space to reason.
COT is not new or novel. Hell, it’s even listed in one of the guides in Open AI’s prompt guides as a strategy to improve prompts.
I love this so much, thank you for putting this together!
My only piece of feedback would be for the "Inline Bookkeeping" section (https://samwho.dev/memory-allocation/#inline-bookkeeping), it took a while for me to grok the numbered list to figure out which block corresponded to address + X. I wonder if there is a better way to visualize the 4 numbered bullet points? Maybe just arrows and text pointing to the visualization?
I had similar challenges as well with the Archive/Resources/Areas. I didn't like the extra mental overhead to determine if something was categorized a certain way.
I ended up combining Archive/Resources/Areas into a Knowledge folder and then using the root folder to hold everything else.
If anyone is interested, I wrote about my simple system here:
It’s quite interesting it’s developed without some kind of framework. Are there any learning resources for architecting large web applications with just plain JS?
