The chart on the left should be an absolute jail-able crime.

@sqs @thorstenball curious about an amp behavior. Do you let the (main) agent model direct when it’s finished and kick control back to it until it states it’s done? I’ve experimented with a “reprompt subagent” that feeds the current convo into a smaller model to determine that.

But amp here works well and wondering if there was any trick to knowing when enough is enough, when it’s achieved its task or needs to do more, if it’s sidetracked away from previous request, etc

It seems like AI really HATES the new syntax in Go that lets you do:
for i := range 25 { ... }
Every time I give it code with this syntax it just OBSESSES over how wrong it is. And then mansplains Go syntax to me. And then doesn't answer my original question.

Me: "commits.txt contains 150k git hashes. It's too large for me to use effectively. Please convert it to 160 byte integers laid end-to-end."
AI: Reads the entire fucking file and blows up the conversation.

The talk about AI making professionals obsolete needs to stop. It is hype, dangerous hype that is causing unnecessary fear.
I keep hearing smart people say that translators are made obsolete by AI.
There is no evidence to support this claim.
1. Translators have been using translation software for two decades. They have been using machine learning tools for years. LLM are a useful addition, but no more. It improves the productivity. Does not replace.
2. Translation is not unlike software programming. Even if AI can do the boilerplate work… People pay professional translators to get a flawless translation. Clients do not pay professional translators for “vibe translations”: these have been available in automated form for many years.
So yeah, if you have a passing knowledge of a foreign language and you want to use AI to translate your business site… it will work. But this contract in a foreign language you are about to sign? Nope. Get a translator.

Update: o3-mini fixed the death spiral I was on with Sonnet 3.7 (although it got everything _except_ parent relationships in a LOUDS trie right ... on the fifth from-scratch attempt).

That’s because our implementation doesn’t take into account “random bullshit”

In case you're the kind of person heading into the weekend and thinking to yourself "gosh, I wish I had a 15K word blog post on error handling to mull over", I've got just the thing for you.

Coders love vibe coding because it’s just gambling:
You give Claude code something you worked on for a long time, it takes some money, the little Claude asshole spins, and either your repo got a shiny new feature or it is fucked beyond repair.
But the next prompt could fix it
the adrenaline hit is insane when everything works fine for a long time. you know you're one prompt away from everything being completely borked
