You get intuiton on capability which is contaminated by your blog post being ingested to training corpus, wihout strict comparision analysis on not pelicans, not animals, not svgs you cannot state any general capability with your prompting
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Ask HN: Good content on using AI to modernize professional services delivery
There is tons of possibilities of automation, but you have to split down general services delivery into underlying operational categories behind it, then you migh find relevant products/ case studies, if not then you have to dig deeper and decompose into smaller operational areas. In my case it was (software developement company) it was something like: frontend usability testing, frontend ux testing etc.

I would recommend decomposing and prioritizing:

  - what takes most of your time
  - what is needed to close the automation loop for a process
If you can eliminate small task and in return larger delivery process gets automated, then it might be more beneficiall then fighting on automating large complex process
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Show HN: ThoughtDAG – An editable context graph for LLM conversations
Really nice project, i like some of the functionalities you have though of. When thinking of new concepts i sometimes use similar tool which i created https://github.com/Srakai/bushchat, its browser based (in my opinion more convenience). I kind of switched to .md file knowledge base now so i don't use it very often anymore.

For me the most interesting idea around branching is tree rebuilding itself up when source node is modified. For example, if you are drafting a new project and one assumption changes, all subsequent nodes that based on that knowledge get rebuilt.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
I would be surprised if pelican svgs are not part of the training corpus rn
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Micro-Agent: Beat Frontier Models with Collaboration Inside Model API
I might be wrong, but strongly suspect that Fable 5 is already something in this shape, considering long time to first token while having normal troughput.
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents
I'm a huge fan of Ben. Have been tracking the OpenCog initiative for some itmem and think that moving concepts from latentspace to atomspace is best way to efficiently merge our current digital information infrastructure with LLM knowledge.

Regarding your book, I'm shocked that 'AI Agent' concept predates me. Have not read your book, but i think it would be interesting to compare your perspective with today's building blocks which were not available for that time.

Physical simulations seem like next step, but how do you simulate dynamics in complex systems im not sure. Stock market is a good example with many trying to simulate that, but at the end you have to make some tradeoffs in terms of abstraction level you are simulating.

For social backed simulations i guess some kind of grounding will be needed based on real examples, but then the out of distribution cases will need an other solution. As rate of changes in our civilization increases, the out of distribution cases will be more and more prominent.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents
I agree, for me it dreaming was always reprocessing. The resimulation of scenarios part i mentioned can be over-assumption and it might be wrong. One thing i noticed is that sometimes i reprocess motoric movements after martial arts lessons, that was my main clue.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents
I think open-ended simulation for agents will be a key component for training and planning. Similar as human dreams simulate different scenarios in our head. Biggest challenge will be simulating more abstract and complex systems.

Few months ago I did experiment with an open-ended world simulation for AI agent, where the simulated world was progressively building itself based on each of agent actions in open-ended manner. The idea was to give an agent infinite possibility regarding tool calling, where the tool call would be approved by the adjudicator, and the world state would change. The key issues with the PoC were:

  - World decoherence (tried to solve that with a poor graph implementation)
  - World flatness - high abstraction did not account for small events that would compound in real world
  - Start with empty context was real issue to get the agent to explore the world
  
Anyways the project came to be really funny when you watched agent struggling in desperation to perform real world actions which would be impossible in real world. Main observation was that when presented agent with current action budget, it modulated the creativity and how desperate its actions were.
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Building reliable agentic AI systems
4 different databases when you could just postgres. Also seems that 'Think and Plan' and 'Reflect' phases are redundant, as stated: 'Think & Plan: Process Reflection'. Also more personal opinion is that LangGraph is unnecessary framework only slows you down by spiking up complexity.

Not sure how you manage to measure Faithfulness and Answer Relevancy on the live system, without the ground truth.

Good that you have evals in place, but the user satisfaction score might suggest running ablations on the system would be beneficial. I would start by reducing the iterations and unnecessary steps from the agent.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on YC as a Service
Then why not take a small loss and publish at least one example that is something beyond copying the frontend?
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Darkbloom – Private inference on idle Macs
"Debugger attachment is blocked. Memory inspection is blocked." - reminds me old crackme challenges. Everything they mention can be bypassed, so determined person can start stealing data from the network. For me this is a killer of such distributed compute ideas, but who knows, maybe the non-enteprise users will be desperate enough for cheap compute to make this idea valid.
Xx_crazy420_xX··on We gave an AI a 3 year retail lease and asked it to make a profit
I think it would be valuable to list all interactions with the LLM by the dev team and transparently state what was induced by human steering the LLM, and what was actuall LLM decision, which was not biased by system instructions or dev team communicating with it
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
Why would you want to obfuscate payments if you can track how many ships entered the gulf using transponders? Regarding money laundering, you use Tornado Cash or Monero
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Show HN: 1-Bit Bonsai, the First Commercially Viable 1-Bit LLMs
Either we will be expecting the models to compress whole wikipedia and stale on the size reduction, or focus on the reasoning capabilities. My intuition is that by forcing models to remember everything we are wasting parameter space which can be allocated for more abstract thinking.
Xx_crazy420_xX··on TinyLoRA – Learning to Reason in 13 Parameters
If i understand it correctly, the analogy could be:

Let's say we have a low level programmer expert and we try to teach him algebra either we:

  - (SFT): give him algebra book with new nomenclature, definitions, syntax
  - (RL): let him learn algebra using C syntax
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Autoresearch on an old research idea
Autoresearch is nothing new, big players are already in the game with more sophisticated solutions:

  - https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.02660 (MARS)
  - https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.14525 (Execution-grounded automated AI research)
  - https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.10402 (ML-Master 2.0)
The mostly used benchmark for automated AI engineering/ research is: https://github.com/openai/mle-bench
Xx_crazy420_xX··on NanoClaw moved from Apple Containers to Docker
I can't believe the solution is creating uncompatibile branch and forcing users to use cladue for resolving merge conflits. Why not bake in the dual compatibility?
Xx_crazy420_xX··on The Codex app illustrates the shift left of IDEs and coding GUIs
Why create IDE without IDE features? Whats the benefit of this over using IDE with Codex plugin? I don't believe that you can review the code without code traversal by references, so looks like its directed towards toy projects/ noobs. And the agents are not yet near the autonomy that will omit the code review in complex systems.
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Silver plunges 30% in worst day since 1980, gold tumbles
Can either one be proved?
Xx_crazy420_xX··on We need a new Unix flag for agents
I think ai agents need to adapt to our software ecosystem not the other way around. Maybe form of wrapper that creates a skill from every binary would be more applicable
Xx_crazy420_xX··on The cost function of an "AI CEO"
My thoughts:

- The cost function of the CEO is a deeply nested function, as for example revenue is dependent on multiple factors like customer growth, operational costs etc. In practice this function is nested to the lowest possible point in a tree of dependents. No coincidence that best CEOs know how they companies work on lowest levels and understand the constrains and incentives there.

- Where is the boundary of AI CEO? Should we make the boundaries? Human is restricted to 18h awake time, single threaded processing, thats why we need to divide the workload. Is same thing really needed with AI? (assuming all layers of the stack are AI managed already)

- How to validate that decomposed elements of the cost function, (like the customer growth and operational costs revenue) provide valid equation? The cost function should take into account things like reconstruction loss minimization, to ensure that model is not delusional and new dependencies are valid (problem discovery).

Xx_crazy420_xX··on Word2Vec-style vector arithmetic on docs embeddings
Look at https://github.com/vec2text/vec2text
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Word2Vec-style vector arithmetic on docs embeddings
This is really interesting! I've experimented with similar idea, but with time series forecasting on the sentence embeddings - https://github.com/Srakai/embcaster.

It turns out you can tokenise arbitrary information into constant vector which is really useful for later processing. The vec2text (https://github.com/vec2text/vec2text) is an excellent asset if you want to reverse the embeddings back to text. This allows you to encode arbitrary data into standarized vectors, and all the way back.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on The Case Against PGVector
Maybe i was just too narrow focused on the comparison itself and did not get that point. Anyways, as a whole was a valuable read, along with hn comments made me reconsider current implementations details in my projects
Xx_crazy420_xX··on The Case Against PGVector
The author (human or llm) flips between performance ("millions of vectors") and semantic accuracy ("only 3 match your filter") to push its point, depending on what needs to look worse. AI framing switch that was that was probably introduced by RLHF on humans that don't think critically but want somewhat convincing answers.

For pre-filtering "You’re still searching millions of vectors" isn't valid argument, because the author does not relate to any alternative, and post-filtering is even worse.

Xx_crazy420_xX··on Recall for Linux
Nice, I did not know about that. I've built something similar (https://github.com/Srakai/aw-llm-worker) on top of ActivityWatch (https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch)
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Ask HN: Would you allow an AI to go on most of your dates for you?
Why you assume it will provide more opportunities than 'random' selection? I think it will be opposite
Xx_crazy420_xX··on Allianz Life says 'majority' of customers' personal data stolen in cyberattack
There is some incentive to leave 0days in customer software, as it creates a commodity to be sold on gray 0day markets. On the other hand, securing your own garden brings less value then covering and deneing that your 'secure' cloud platform was whacked.
