I think its understandable that you took that from the click-bait all over youtube and twitter, but I dont believe the research actually supports that at all, and neither does my experience.
You shouldnt put things in AGENTS.md that it could discover on its own, you shouldnt make it any larger than it has to be, but you should use it to tell it things it couldnt discover on its own, including basically a system prompt of instructions you want it to know about and always follow. You don't really have any other way to do those things besides telling it every time manually.
I have high cholesterol, have had for more than a decade. Was on a statin, they didnt help. Doubled them, they didnt help. Changed my diet radically, lost 25 lbs (I was a little overweight, but not bad), ate full medeteranian diet and did everything I could, my numbers didnt budge. Changed to a stronger one and within two weeks my numbers were perfect.
There are some people who just have high cholesterol but none of the other risk factors. I'm one of them. I did a calcium score on my heart, and it came back clean. The cardiologist basically said my cholesterol is just part of who I am, and it's not causing problems.
If you're similar to me, you might want to get a second opinion. There are different kinds of LdL cholesterol, and the small, dense particles are the ones that cause blockages. Big puffy ones don't. I have mostly big puffy ones, but classifying them is a different test that has to be special-ordered.
I also have a very low resting heart rate, exercise regularly, have a high VO2Max, and have a healthy diet. So the claim that I was at major risk of a cardiac episode just didn't pass the smell test. If it wasn't for those things, I probably wouldn't have asked questions when my doctor said I should go on a statin.
unfortunately im not in the same situation. I have a high incidence in my family, my calcium score wasn't clean (especially for someone my age) and my vo2max isnt the best either. Though my many stress tests have always been fine.
I don't think im in terrible shape right now, but looking ahead 10 to 20 years, without medical intervention I probably would be.
agree completely. I used to be (and still would love to be) a process person, enjoying hand writing bulletproof artisanal code. Switching to startups many years ago gave me a whole new perspective, and its been interesting the struggle between writing code and shipping. Especially when you dont know how long the code you are writing will actually live. LLMs are fantastic in that space.
> Tenacity. It's so interesting to watch an agent relentlessly work at something. They never get tired, they never get demoralized, they just keep going and trying things where a person would have given up long ago to fight another day.
This is true to an extent for sure and they will go much longer than most engineers without getting "tired", but I've def seen both sonnet and opus give up multiple times. They've updated code to skip tests they couldn't get to pass, given up on bugs they couldn't track down, etc. I literally had it ask "could we work on something else and come back to this"
The glorified autocomplete. Why would the LLM "work on something else then get back on this", is it's subconscious going to solve the problem during that time?
But because people say it, it says it too. Making sense is optional.
Ive found that clearing the context and getting back to it later actually DOES work. When you restart, your personal context is cleared and you might be better at describing the problem you are solving in a more informationally dense way.
I love duckdb, I use it as much as I can.
I just wish that the support for node/bun was as good as python.
And I wish that they would bundle it differently for node/bun - the way it is now it depends on a dynamic link to a library which means I cant bundle it into a bun executable.
160F, non toxic, this already sounds like something that could feasibly be used in the home. I would already be interested in installing one. And would absolutely love to see what it would do to school performance.
