I know people tend to hate on rust rewrites. But having something that compiles to a single binary that you can just copy over and get started has its advantages especially when working with sandboxes etc.

I've really liked lancedb for similar use cases. Not just that it is OSS. But Lance treats ANN as a secondary index similar to what turbopuffer v3 does. Rows sit in fragments, and the vector index never moves them.

Lot of these demos tend to squeeze in as many animations and transitions. Its usually hard to take away anything from the video at the end.

I wish more people optimized for learning than "how fancy can i make it look"

Waiting on simonw "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle " benchmark to judge this model

Apart from fictional use cases, what is the real use case here? The pricing on some open models are absurdly low for generic tasks. For the privacy conscious it makes sense to run something like a 8-27B on local network and get the work done.

Are there perhaps some industrial or agri use cases?

Kinda weird to generalize "LLM". Every lab, every model is different. Has its own biases, reward functions etc.

One great use of agentic coding is being able to add and very granular tracing instrumentation to help with these sort of optimizations.

Lot of this is outdated. Including stuff that made a lot of sense in the past like diataxis and the google guidance.

I've started to build docs structured as a skill. Since every model/harness is trained to handle skills well today. The entire docs of a project or modeled as a skill.

I also have additional frontmatter on the md files. Specifically 2 keys -> when should you read, when you should not read this doc. This with a simple cli to help parse this has made the docs experience much quicker and nicer.

You can also generate svgs, mermaids etc on the fly now when you are really stuck on something.

Ah yes, the usual drop down where we need to confirm we are above 18.

Might have to do with a lot of thought leaders and influencers pushing this.

In my own life/career I have seen that over a long enough horizon that lower shame seems to generally work out for people on the long run if you can back it up with some amount of confidence and competence.

I wish folks spend more time on agentic music genertion instead of a single black box prompt to music.

Similar to coding, where you are have a bunch of tools that can do the drudge work for you (the mundane things in mixing mastering for example), but still retain full creative freedom and expression.

I am not articulating this well, but basically transitioning from IDE->Coding harnesses what is the DAW-> ??

With the Devin subscription even at the 20$ plan, they offered unlimited SWE 1.7 usage. Wondering if they do the same for SWE 2.

"SWE-2 is post-trained from Kimi K3"
