There’s one more man you are missing that fits better with the Windows piece that is more likely than those two. A man that was obsessed with anonymity (with no real picture of him on the net), an active writer still today, and with the coding and cryptography chops to have actually built it.

Agree. Can really build a strong chain of functionality with this function calling. I have a harder time seeing the use of something like Langchain - seems unnecessary to learn a new bloated API when I can use the powerful tools from the models themselves, and then chain things together myself.

Yes, the 'function calling' naming is unfortunate. It's really structured output that can be fed as input into any functionality elsewhere in your code.

The difference between the structured output of json mode is that the model can choose which set of structured output (matched to various function definitions). Subtle, but pretty cool and powerful.

check out LiteLLM... been using in (lite) production and they make it easy to switch between models with a standardized API.

Was searching for this behavior and pleasantly surprised to find such a recent thread about it. I agree with you as well. I think they don’t do it because of what the other viewer mentioned where there is unexpected complexity in the state.

Super interesting article and implications

One of the biggest users of Tornado Cash was Vitalik. He was not using it as a criminal, so there are some valid use cases outside of criminal behavior.

just wanted to say - this is well designed, clean interface, and fast (on my desktop). Well done, especially if you solo developed this.

What’s your take on non processed high sugar food? Fruits, honey, etc.

I’m someone that is very anti processed foods but generally ok with sugar. I wonder what the overlap is.

At the risk of sounding like a quack, I also wonder about the ubiquity of wireless radiation and it’s effect (as it’s rise also matches this rise). I’m less concerned about Wi-Fi router signals because of radiation dissipation at proximity, but I’d love to see more studies on devices we use that do not benefit from the inverse square law. Specifically AirPods or other Bluetooth devices that travel directly between the ears with no distance.

Really enjoyed this read. As someone who has had similar daydream fantasies - maybe not to this scale - it's interesting to see all the ways it can backfire. It also definitely got me thinking about ways he could be dealing with local bureaucracy a bit better (even if the bureaucracy is clearly in the wrong.)

Author of original article (teach your kids poker, not chess) here - funny, it was seeing this rebuttal on the front page that made me realize there was a thread on mine! (linked in other comment here or in the article)

One critique of this article is that bridge is most definitely a "luck" game as this article classifies it - any card game is nondeterministic, or stochastic. Also this author's use of symmetric and asymmetric is very different then my use.

If you read my article to its conclusion, I believe both chess and poker (and bridge) offer tremendous value and encourage kids to play whatever - the main is that the nature of these lessons are tremendously different.

I cut a lot out so it's short enough that people still read it :)
