Whoa I always thought that tool use was Anthropics way for structured outputs. Can't believe only now are they supporting this.

Oh spot on. Forcing the logic to fit the formula is an obvious giveaway.

I wish it had the Wikipedia style of writing as a default, as in, much more matter-of-fact writing (even if not everything is a fact).

I think part of the problem is that people overwhelmingly vote for this style with up votes and revealed preferences.

Maybe there should be a more meticulous feedback / prompt system where I can highlight a paragraph or sentence and ask annotate my feedback so that it doesn't go for that style.

No, I don't have anything against using LLMs to write. My problem is that I enjoy reading people in part for diversity of style.

I already spend too much time reading LLM outputs on my own interactions. And I get sick of their style because of it. So when I read it during leisure time, it just triggers a gut rejection.

Especially because they are so formulaic / template-y.

In my experience, Waymo's driving style is more comfortable than most humans.

Yes, that was such a bizarre move.

I love this experiment and am surprised that the Claude models performed that much better than the competition. Opus was particularly impressive both in the quality itself and the ability to iterate meaningfully.

Now... Was this article LLM written?

This part triggered all my LLM flags: ``` Adding a bicycle chain isn’t just decoration—it shows understanding of mechanical relationships. The wheel spokes, the adjusted proportions—these are signs of vision-driven refinement working as intended. ```

Cool! I think this is a great use of LLMs.

The only other player I've seen is Mechanical Orchard

I don't know the full list, but back when it came out, TF felt like a crude set of bindings to the underlying c++/CUDA workhorse. PyTorch felt, in contrast, pythonic. It was much closer in feeling to numpy.

Oh wow did not catch that!

It seems like the project has been abandoned? Last commit a year ago.

Never thought about that. I do that for shopping. I have a rule of "not today, but if I remember in 3 weeks" (no wishlisting). I should do something like this for sugar.

"figured it could just grab money from unsophisticated people"

This sums up my experience with US Healthcare. They bill expecting you to autopay, and either have no incentive to bill correctly or they outright are trying to scam but the result is that every hospital bill is sus.

This also makes insurance a lot less inherently valuable: you are paying for someone to do this untangling shitshow on top of the actual insurance. As if the hospitals just put the billing burden on the client.

There has to be a penalty for sending wrong bills, or they should pay me for my time wasted.

Finally, the prices are so inflated that often the price without insurance in Europe is the same as the copay/coinsurance in the US.

Its a fucking catastrophe.

Didn't explicitly think about this, but you're right. I already dismiss off the bat a lot of surprising video content because I don't trust it.

The problem of self-hosting is that you increase the friction to swap models and use whatever is SOTA or whatever fits your purpose best.

Also, I've heard from others that the Qwen models are a bit too overfit to the benchmarks and that their real-life usage is not as impressive as they would appear on the benchmarks.

Had no b idea about this. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, absolutely agree.

A monster trainer game where you can _actually teach new, creative moves_ to your monsters: https://youtu.be/ThOCM9TK_yo

Basically, think of it as "Pokemon the anime, but for real". We allow you to use your voice to talk to, command, and train your monster. You and your monster are in this sandbox-y, dynamic environment where your actions have side effects.

You can train to fight or just to mess around.

Behind the scenes, we are converting player's voice into code in real time to give life to these monsters.

If you're interested, reach out!

This is a great explanation, thank you!

how so?

In app.py it seems like you call nvidia-smi as a subprocess and then scrape that. Are there no bindings to do that directly?
