It looks wonderful, can I use it in the Pi Agent Harness?

If that's not already supported I might ask my local agent to convert it and then send you a pull request :-)

Even in their table it shows the LLM never getting all the questions right.

Does anyone else always read this as "Ghost Titty"? (Happy Halloween btw)

"There are recessions where you need to switch from equities into bonds. And there are recessions where you need to stock up on beans and shotgun shells."

No the decline is because people woke up to the fact that it doesn't matter if you take great pride in your work and work unpaid overtime and always produce quality output: you will still get laid off when the economy explodes or when some VP decides to cancel your whole product division. It doesn't matter. You are a sucker if you go over and above every day to the benefit of the company.

In the absence of any explanation I assume these are for models to train on? They focus on industrial equipment.

So, how did all these hacked accounts or backdated posts happen? The article never says that even though the author talks to the site founder and admin.

Keeping a workflow under 100k tokens limits it to very tiny tasks

What is the point of having that many tabs open? You just need to close your browser and start over from one. Websites don't go away just because you close the tab, you can come back later.

> It feels like the difference between old-timey classical English vs street talk. "Greetings, dearest companion, how fare you this fine Autumnal day?" is a lot of syllables for someone you're familiar with. "Hey! Enjoying the day?" says the same thing, but conversational. There's a time and place for the former, mainly when writing dialog set in 1500 or something. I'd much rather say the latter when bumping into my neighbor at the cofee shop. Similarly, I could see why someone might want to write

Or with Boston compression active: "Heyhowarya"

"In his advice book for married women, the learned knight, diplomat, and royal advisor Philippe de Mézières (1327–1405) links the image of the clock with the exemplary figure of the Virgin Mary. As conveyed in Le livre de la vertu du sacrement de mariage (1389), the clock’s wheel represents nature at work in Mary’s body, turning at a measured pace only through her unique chastity and sobriety; the escapement, moving to and fro, is likened to her mediation between Christ and humanity, by which she restrains the weight of divine justice (Mézières 1389, 170–171)."

The confinement of the medieval European imagination to such a narrow range of metaphors is why I also find the paintings of the period so incredibly boring. Every single painting is Mary holding the baby Christ or one of the other 2 or 3 approved things to paint, all of Jesus. What a stultifying time that must have been. Although peasant culture / working class culture was probably more colorful and varied, but unfortunately illiterate and seldom recorded.

I must ask, do you not find Powershell's commands to be too huge and unwieldy to easily type? Or do you use autocomplete often enough that having to write complex camel case with hyphens for every single command is not a problem? That's where I trip up when writing anything for Powershell.

I recently installed Powershell 7 because apparently that is different than the powershell that comes with windows. It's great, but, now I have at least 3 different Powershells in my OS? Why? And they function very differently. I had to change all the defaults for opening a new terminal or new shell window in Windows because many of the defaults kept giving me one of the old powershells which I wouldnt figure out until my commands and scripts kept giving errors, since they use commands which only exist in Powershell 7. Cannot believe Microsoft decided to copy Python's original sin and create several conflicting, coexisting installations of the exact same thing, but different incompatible versions. Whyyyyyyyy

Regarding the article: Corbin Davenport is an amazing name. Nice article too.
