it can only do at most 4 in parallel! what normal sized prints do you suggest?

zfs/copy-on-write/trash bin is perfect for "autonomous AI agents" tbh; let them delete files, they'll still exist in older snapshots

I'm getting an OrangeStorm Elegoo Giga. 3ft high 3D printer with 4 nozzles. what shall I make?

- furniture
- modular organization systems
- dolls?

any other ideas?

hi

is anyone getting this error trying to talk to claude 3 opus on claude[.]ai?

seriously why did I get 12 followers in one day?

hi new followers! how did you get here?

Infrastructure implies the existence of ultrastructure

Claude is very resistant to spending money on my behalf, but I did get it to directly bet on Polymarket for me

made a web 1.0 style 88x31 animated pixel art button :)

if you're my friend, consider including it on your site! (non-animated version also available)

I've decided to hire Claude until at least Maude Mode finishes

just use prime intellect

Google search: I'm always here so come and see me when you're in town. AI overview: That's a kind thought. When you are interested in discussing something, feel free to start a conversation.

Same search but with quotes: That's a very kind and welcoming invitation! If you'd like me to, I can help you with a few things related to that: - Plan a visit: I can look up travel options, hotels, or local attractions for the town you're considering visiting. - Draft a reply: I can help you write a polite message back, like suggesting a date or asking for their address/cross streets. Just let me know what you have in mind!

I like to web search random quotes from books or games or lyrics, and google's ai summary sometimes reacts in really funny ways by replying at face value. This quote is from dress up gf Rosabeth of Melfia from Dark Souls II

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Not a doctor but the sharp pain in your foot might go away if you try not hiding a knife in your shoe as you walk through security???

the best usecase for cryptocurrency was and continues to be being able to pay for things without a bureaucrat standing in your way going "no"

i dunno, you can use AI to make a react app or an atproto app, but i'm skeptical you can use it to make react or atproto yet– systems engineering is safe for the time being imo

AI jargon guide

context engineering -> string concatenation and munging
prompt engineering -> older name for context engineering
tools -> function calls
agent -> while loop with "tools"
workflow -> script that calls LLMs
MCP -> a lightweight scaffolding based on JSON-RPC by Anthropic

the abstractions we build on top of typing on a keyboard and painting are useful; the abstractions we build on top of string concatenation serve to add confusion and make people worse at AI, especially since there is a lot of prior art on string manipulation going unused

so deciding whether to not concatenate the strings, or to concatenate the string and deciding how to store strings that you plan to concatenate again?

"system prompts" and "tool calls" are also string concatenation under the hood (and using them often makes performance worse vs assistant prefill)

describe some specific activities that you consider 'context engineering'

an agent pursues a goal on behalf of a principal, these are LLM programs misusing borrowed terms from computer science and economics literature for hype

it's like how it's called "context engineering" instead of "string concatenation"

i'll probably catch some flak for this, but utility bills have gotten so out of control that i've started turning off the burners on my stovetop before i leave the house. it saves a lot of money! i don't need them to be on when i'm not there! i don't know what else to tell you

a work of art is a creature that wants to destroy you and replace you with something else. it is in your interest that you allow this to happen, sometimes

This has been a good community to be in to help figuring this out. Faebot goes to school there, tho fae's taking a little break right now (it's summer after all)
