I taught machines to see. Now I'm teaching agents to work. Robotics + CV background, open-source dev tools, and a smart home that mostly cooperates.

@jullerino @t3dotcodes looks great! is it easy to pick which PR i want to click into from the sidebar now on a multi PR thread? that bit has felt awkward in the nightly for some time

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ggsimm @maria_rcks sure but i guess what im really after is more of a demo — the core concepts and thought process and what makes it better, etc. guess that’ll probably be a future theo video though

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

finally started using the stash feature in @t3dotcodes and wow… i should’ve integrated this into my workflow a long time ago. it’s so nice especially with the screenshots and citations being preserved

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@IndependentEco yeah i think we have hit at least a temporarily inflection point

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@maria_rcks oof yeah. sometimes we just gotta deep breath and /clear

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ziwenxu_ yeah the tables really turned: my anthropic 20x sub feels like the one i cant burn through in a week now and the codex one is gone in a day

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@maria_rcks just in time for me to finally be mostly convinced i really don’t need it lol

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@theo i tell people this a ton and nobody seems to believe me. human memory is so ephemeral

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

a few things that i’m happy to help with:

- copy should preserve formatting better, especially in swiftui. i have a big PR open for that one but also want to expand it to the electron app. imo, the copy button and the select & cmd-C need to be 1:1
- remote machine harness update should not be something i need to do manually
- some misc swiftui things but the major one to me is resyncing when i open a thread. feels frequently busted
- why is context gauge marked legacy?

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

personally i think we’re nearly at diminishing returns for more intelligence in these models and we really need the smart people to be focusing on the compute problem. relaxing a bit on training would also give back some compute to actual users sooo… i’m not sure this is all bad.

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@Im_IrushiK completely agree with this. i would probably use it quite a bit myself.

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@trashh_dev at least plane tickets are super cheap on zipair if you can fly out of SFO

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ThePrimeagen oh yeah that place is great

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@maria_rcks are we talking about the context gauge here?

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@theo kinda curious, for my own understanding, what the motivation was behind disabling the context indicator behind a legacy flag. i’m sure you have a good reason but this feels like an odd choice to me. do you really not pay attention to context consumption directly?

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@THROWEDTOBIN conductor by the lack of drums usually

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ImLunaHey yeah that’s feeling kinda dealbreaker-y to me too. i think i’ll ride out another year on my 14 pro to be honest.

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ImLunaHey yeah it looks nice but i’d want to wait a little and see if other people develop creases in the screen

[mackinley @mackinleysmith]

@ImLunaHey nightreign. its probably done receiving updates but tons of people still play it and it’s honestly a great game
