all these focus on long running agents without focussing on core restructure is baffling. the immediate need is to break down complex tasks into smaller ones and single shot them with some amount of parallelism. imo - we need an opinionated system but with human in the middle and then think about dreamy next steps. we need to focus on groundedness first instead of worrying about agent conjuring something from thin air. the decision to leap frog into automated long running agents is quite baffling.

boys are trying to single shot a browser when a moderate complex task can derail a repo. there’s no good amount of info which might be deliberate but from what i can pick, their value add was “distributed computing and organisational design” but that too they simplified. i agree that simplicity is always the first option but flat filesystem structure without standards will not work. period.

I subscribed to ultra to give deep think a try but i will not extend it even a day for all the other packaging put together by someone who might be working for a competitor. Who does these things and the fragmentation is crazy as mentioned. Chinese deep agents may be entrenched(just kidding), its crazy that someone up the ladder is so off point and not worry about losing his job.

This looks promising. I'm looking forward to exploring this further and seeing its practical applications in streamlining document-related workflows. It's always refreshing to see new solutions emerge that potentially shift how we approach common challenges.

Why would China try these postures when the opposite country is neck deep in handling a pandemic and one which originated from its land. Is this any time for a bloody battle or power trips?. May be there is more to it than the reasoning you mentioned. Internal frictions are starting to get visible against premier due to the way he handled the covid and how much repair it has caused China globally. May be he is trying to do all this antics to shore up nationalism and create a new problem/diversion which makes covid related ones to take a back seat.

If its a full blown war then may be yes. But two nuclear powers going all out and all alone will not happen so others will step in. It would complicate things for China. Ideally it should be conventional and a very short one. The rules for engagement can't be escalated, that means China has to work with severe geographic disadvantages.

Chinese investment money is everywhere so they try to control the narrative. I have seen for sometime that on HN, we are open to criticize but don't take a standpoint unless its something to do with western government.

I think this is due to the flame war or rating system of HN, where active discussions are relegated to oblivion. Instead of trusting biased and funded media - we here need to introspect, without us being silenced.

May be we are mostly left so we don't have a much stronger opinion unless its right - is that the case?. Just curious - why the slack?.

Spot on.

If yours is a small team and if many things are keeping your team busy - never address a technical debt head on until you can afford the luxury or until the business demands warrant for it. Most engineering team focus too much on technical elegance and go overboard. Rewrite culture can become nasty if unchecked.

Please don't shoot yourself with this suggestion. From my personal experience Academia is so distant from what is relevant or practical to the industry.
