As I’ve explained here before, at this stage in my life, my main goal is to pass along the principles and templates I've learned with the hope that they can help others as much as they've helped me. One thing that has been incredibly valuable to me is learning that just because something hasn’t happened before in my lifetime doesn’t mean it won’t happen. So I needed to look not only at what the markets have been doing lately but to also study big events—like debt crises, internal political conflicts, and international wars—throughout history. For example, it was by studying the Great Depressi… wmi.edu.sg

Common problem… Helps to have templates and skills you can share that either clean it up for you, or politely calls out gaps in what they were going to do. Quoting @lennysan A growing part of everyone’s job is cleaning up the AI slop from other people trying to do your job Related

Their words
I get really nervous about having different design languages or different types of user interactions and shipping Frankensteins, basically. So, designers need to then be the people we're hiring again for design systems thinking.

yay for automatic prefix caching! just set a single cache control field at the top level of your request body. note that you do still need to structure your prompt templates to benefit from prefix caching though. Related

Their words
Canonical’s LXD works out-of-the-box on Ubuntu, and is a great way to sandbox an agent into a disposable environment where the blast radius is limited should the agent make a mistake.

The winning tickets we find have won the initialization lottery: their connections have initial weights that make training particularly effective.

We find that a standard pruning technique naturally uncovers subnetworks whose initializations made them capable of training effectively.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
