The author has used weather prediction confidence as an example. I think it is not analogous to LLM's next-token prediction. LLM's next-token is predicted from a finite statistical model. And for the weather prediction model, there is no finite data-based statistical model.

I was surprised that the author hasn't mentioned Jev-like models. They're quite good for general purpose confidence rating.

I guess I had read this article 12-13 years back. I think it was this same article.

One of the things I vaguely remember was reading somewhere that working on this LED manufacturing severely damages the workers' eyes. I don't know how much of it is true and if it is, whether that is still the case.

Looks like I mistook an ideologue zealot for a rational being.

This is interesting. I want to understand how much of a latency does Omega Walls introduce to the workflow? Or is it recommended for long-running workflows where a couple of additional seconds of latency is fine?

I've built a simple AI-chat interface for one of my products and I had experienced a latency of 6000 ms by adding a router LLM to selectively inject context to the main LLM. Dropped that idea completely.

EDIT: my bad, just read the term "multi-agent workflow" in the title. Still, some idea about the added latency would be helpful.

Let us take your previous comment as the basis

> Birth rates would also improve when boys and men are educated.

There is no evidence of this being true. This is certainly a narrative peddled by many ideologues.

> Both genders need education and child support programs.

Poorest of poor and illiterate people happen to have more children than the rest.

> Men/Boys need to understand what responsibilities they have, if they choose to have a child.

If men are educated on responsibilities of alimony and child support, with almost no rights, they would neither marry nor have legitimate children.

> They also need to understand the effects that having a child has on a woman's body.

This maybe your personal dream and that's fine. But this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

> Governments around the world would benefit their society by investing in family planning, family support (esp. child care) to enable parents to work and provide for their family.

Family-planning is euphemism for reducing children per woman. There's no benefit of having less children -> leading to less economic activity in the future. The family support you keep touting about is moot point. Government does not have their own money. People pay taxes which are used by government.

> An educated and healthy populace (from infant to old age) benefits everyone.

Agreed on this point. The definition of benefits are subjective but overall, it is agreed that it is a net positive.

"YOU'RE A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER!!!"

> The thing that really helps me is thinking back to when I’ve worked at larger organizations where I’ve been an engineering manager. Other teams are building software that my team depends on.

> If another team hands over something and says, “hey, this is the image resize service, here’s how to use it to resize your images”... I’m not going to go and read every line of code that they wrote.

The distance of accountability of the output from its producer is an important metric. Who will be held accountable for which output: that's important to maintain and not feel the "guilt".

So, organizations would need to focus on better and more granular building incentives and punishment mechanisms for large-scale software projects.

This is quite interesting. I'm going to try it.

If I understand correctly, my agent just needs to run `curl curl.md/targetsite.com` and it will receive the webpage in an optimized Markdown file format.

Is there any specific depth until which curl.md will crawl?
