i mean yea

yes, so the thought experiment here is, how far can agents (owned by different entities) get in being productive without a human stepping in

How much can agents accomplish by coding with each other with 0 humans in the loop?

something i really like from tryin git out over the last 10 minutes is that the main agent will continue talking to you while other agents are working, so you don't have to queue a message

yea but i feel like we are over the hill on benchmaxxing, many times a model has beaten anthropic on a specific bench, but the 'feel' is that it is still not as good at coding

i would have to imagine the gastown design isn't optimal though? why 8, and why does there need to multiple hops of agent communications before two arbitrary agents communicate with each other as opposed to single shared filespace?

Excited to try this out. I've seen a lot of working systems on my own computer that share files to talk between different Claude Code agents and I think this could work similarly to that.

(i thought gas town was satire? people in comments here seem to be saying that gas town also had multi-agent file sharing for work tracking)

When i went it was blank? Lol i think someone made claude delete the site?

I use Willow AI, which I think is pretty good

The first example has a miscalculation; if you invest 1k and the EV is 900, then your choice has negative ROI, not positive.

One of my most anticipated tools is context truncation, happy to see them adopt certain practices that were previously only on the fringes like the ideas from https://ai.pydantic.dev/message-history/#summarize-old-messa...

pelican on a bicycle benchmark probably getting saturated... especially as it's become a popular way to demonstrate model ability quickly

As the rate of model improvement appears to slow, the first reactions seem to be getting worse and worse, as it takes more time to assess the model's quality and understand the nuances & subtler improvements

I wonder what Ankit's living in Boston means for YC's SF/bay area thesis for startup survival, which I thought they were very passionate about

Yes, but if you look in the rate limit notes, the rate limit is 500k tokens / minite for tier 4, which we are on. Given how stingy anthropic has been with rate limit increases, this is for very few people right now

I use claude code in a staging env also with full bash permissions via the open source github actions (I think this is much safer and also what you're supposed to do). The github issues and PR integrations make it really organized

Benchmarks don't tell you as much as the actual coding vibe though

Worked for me once so far for a single github issue which had a solution that involved a read and write to my supabase, seemed to have a big upgrade from the codeact 2.1

Thanks for the insight, noted.

Why would we mimic Redfin, who's a fairly small & declining player in the real restate brokerage space, when we could mimic features of much more successful players like Keller Williams

Yea definitely playing a bit of persona since comments drive up the rating on HN. 3500 uniques inbound from this post, couple home tours scheduled from inbound users, I'd say I'm happy about it. I would say 75% of people I meet face to face when I say I'm making an ai realtor, it's a negative reaction. Although it does much better in the bay

Fwiw redfin is also tiny with 0.78% market share and slim or negative profits

When I bought my house as a first time buyer in sf, my agent walked me through my disclosures over email..

- Zillow doesn't actually transact homes themselves, once you click that you're interested in a house, a realtor will call you who is non-zillow affiliated, they could be with any brokerage. Redfin only offers you discount services if you buy + sell through them, but most people buying in the bay area aren't simultaneously selling a home through Redfin.

- We are currently using a 3rd party showing service which has people come and literally open doors.

- Yes we are offering representation agreements to help people tour in light of the NAR suit.

- We will solve the blacklist problem when we get to that size. Not going to start running before catching the ball.

- Incumbents like Zillow have agents as their primary customer, they wouldn't put out their main customer. Redfin's model is to have the human agent at the heart of their product, it would have to be completely remade if the customer was using the interface.

- Liens are analyzed using our disclosure summary tool. Solar loans are often liens, so same applies. Inspections are a disclosure. Contingencies fall into 5 buckets which are fairly standard of inspection/mortgage/insurance/title/appraisal. Negotiations are usually done over text message or email.

I think the DoJ is having a field day with NAR as are the many individuals currently suing them

:)

Our goal is not to rewrite every property description, but rather just link you the properties that we think you would like. If a property is mis-listed on Zillow, then that would be the same issue if a Realtor would send you that property as a recommendation

You can't get everybody. But, I'm sure you've bought a canned alcoholic beverage from a store before? That was made by a robot, are you ok with that?

Your bartender also may pour you a drink from a can as well - I've seen this

I, like many of the other people in this thread, had a buyer agent that did nothing. If you need someone who can do these things, looks like you've found that person!
