A coworker started spamming this word in ~April while working on system design/architecture.

Thanks for the clarification. “Mode collapse” explains so much about how I have been experiencing output convergence and repetition for a while now.

What is their fire suppression setup like??? Granted I guess they could be doing pumped hydro storage lol

lol I had started a “plugin compiler” that Claude also wanted to name after the Jacquard loom https://github.com/jondwillis/jacq

Fricking training distribution/same-y ness coming for us all… cool project though.

You should edit the article to suggest this point, it may not be obvious to everyone reading it.

Ah, I suffer from bruxism and TMJ. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this condition.

Unironic Paperclip Maximalism. Huh.

I propose that you don’t actually want cheap tokens. You want cheap tokens in service of some other goals. Are they worth the environmental cost?

Cmon tell us what it is

Yeah unironically just let an agent harness rip with full admin access without monitoring anything it does or using a VM. It’ll be fine, probably. “How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love the AgentDOS and Only Exfiltrate Secrets Occasionally”

I think GP is basically saying, bitter lesson applies here.

Low effort comment: reinventing things that Unix provides is the backbone of the entire western economy.

This ACP has been rolled into A2A (https://a2a-protocol.org/ ) and shouldn’t be confused (it’s happened multiple times for me, again just now) with Agent CLIENT Protocol https://agentclientprotocol.com/

I don’t think it’s reasonable to think that privacy regulation is coming with the current admin and weak “opposition”, and lack of capacity to care or understand the stakes by the populace. We need some very effective political organizing, yesterday. And normalized, cheap, scramble suits wouldn’t hurt either.

And that’s the entire point. Accelerate!

Halvings? I guess?

I will check out if Claude Code itself has MCPB support.

It doesn’t.

That’s a decision-shaped comment.

I’ve been considering this as well, and trying to get my colleagues to understand and start doing it. I use it to pretty decent effect in my vibe coded slop side projects.

In the new world of mostly-AI code that is mostly not going to be properly reviewed or understood by humans, having a more and more robust manifestation and enforcement, and regeneration of the specs via the coding harness configuration combined with good old fashioned deterministic checks is one potential answer.

Taken to an extreme, the code doesn’t matter, it’s just another artifact generated by the specs, made manifest through the coding harness configuration and CI. If cost didn’t matter, you could re-generate code from scratch every time the specs/config change, and treat the specs/config as the new thing that you need to understand and maintain.

“Clean room code generation-compiler-thing.”

1) “AI harness plugin build system” to help improve reliability of and increase compatibility across the fragmented AI coding harness plugin ecosystem.

2) Claude code plugin based on some ideas found in https://www.anthropic.com/research/emotion-concepts-function The main idea is to add hooks that inject “baselines” under some conditions to counteract certain “emotions” that can cause subtle misaligned behavior in agents

3) Final Fantasy XI custom client remaster in Bevy/Rust alongside an MCP integration that aims to allow agents to play autonomously on private servers à la “Claude plays Pokemon”

No, they don’t. But obviously GP was tongue–—in-–cheek.

We have our doubts about this. Can you share your code or product? Anecdotally, my mistakes and lack of understanding exponentiate the more I try to parallelize.

Congrats on the successful advert

The time to build your community is now, regardless of the threat of apocalypse.

Until they do start doing identity verification, I think you're good. Frankly, don't be a coward. If you're getting treated like this, why would you even want to use their services in the future?

Issue a chargeback.

How’d you get out? For the many over-specialized readers like myself…

I’ve had the exact opposite journey. Native apps, disillusioned and frustrated with the backwards tooling, moved on to more open platforms (web apps and backends)

Why doesn’t he merge them?

I think your repo is cool, but I don’t think creating APIs from web apps is at all precipated on academic research and the other things you mentioned.

Maybe I’m misreading what you’re trying to say.

thanks for chiming in with this noise bot
