<p>The point is not that it is something hard to compute that we can only approximate. The point is that there is no well-defined heritability <i>independent of the environmental distribution</i>.</p>

<p>Paris [1] and Copenhagen [2] have similar housing issues. Both are some of the most expensive cities in Europe [3]. Vienna has a large municipally owned and non-profit housing stock [4]. The situation in Tokyo was okay while it was growing its stock like crazy, it is facing an intensifying affordability crisis right now [5]. If there is a bliss point at which the housing crisis is solved with density before Kowloon Walled City levels, it surely not at Tokyo levels. What do you think that bliss point is? Why do you think it is a better solution to grow city densities to those levels rather than trying to make it easier to live and work in compact, mid-rise 15-minute cities that people generally seem to prefer?

<p>Weird title for a paper that argues that "Government intervention is critical  to ensure that supply is added at prices affordable to a range of incomes". I would personally classify that position as "supply skepticism".</p>

<p>Yet the rent in Paris is still too high for an average French resident; and while rent is lower than in San Diego, the price of an apartment is higher. And, of course, median salary in San Diego is far higher than in Paris.</p>

<p>There is abundance of housing. It's just that people want to live in big metro areas that have extreme concentration of economic opportunity and amenities.<p>I don't understand how transforming every urban area into Kowloon Walled City will solve that unless your plan is to make it so dense that people will finally find it undesirable to live there?</p>

<p>I don't understand Stage 2. Did ContextAI app asked for access to Google mail, drive, calendar, etc? That's crazy.

<p>And I remember OSes today, 1 year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, etc. Security was always a problem. People blindly delegate admin privileges to scripts and programs from the internet all the time. It’s hard to make something secure and usable at the same time. It’s not like agent harnesses suddenly broke all adopted best practices around software and sandboxing.<p>I remember Apple introducing sandboxing for Mac apps, extending deadlines because no one was implementing it. AFAIK, many apps still don’t release apps there simply because of how limiting it is.<p>Ironically, the author suggests to install his software by curl’ing it and piping it straight into sh.</p>

<p>An LLM. A coding LLM writes code with its tools for writing files, searching docs, reading skills for specific technologies and so on; and the analysis LLM processes all interactions, summarizes them, tags issues, tracks token use for various task types, and identifies patterns across many sessions.</p>

<p>You analyze each conversation with an LLM: summarize it, add tags, identify problematic tools, etc. The metrics go to management, some docs are auto-generated and added to the company knowledge base like all other company docs.<p>It’s like what they do in support or sales. They have conversational data and they use it to improve processes. Now it’s possible with code without any sort of proactive inquiry from chatbots.</p>

<p>I trust that an LLM can fix a problem without the help of other agents that are barely different from it. What it lacks is the context to identify which problems are systemic and the means to fix systemic problems. For that you need aggregate data processing.</p>

<p>What I think we will see in the future is company-wide analysis of anonymised communications with agents, and derivations of common pain points and themes based on that.<p>Ie, the derivation of “knowledge units” will be passive. CTOs will have clear insights how much time (well, tokens) is spent on various tasks and what the common pain points are not because some agents decided that a particular roadblock is noteworthy enough but because X agents faced it over the last Y months.</p>

<p>The article starts with the comparison of DSPy and LangChain monthly downloads and then wastes time comparing DSPy to hand-rolling basic infra, which is quite trivial in every barely mature setup.<p>I conjecture that the core value proposition of DSPy is its optimizer? Yet the article doesn't really touch it in any important way. How does it work? How would I integrate it into my production? Is it even worth it for usual use-cases? Adding a retry is not a problem, creating and maintaining an AI control plane is. LangChain provides services for observability, online and offline evaluation, prompt engineering, deployment, you name it.</p>
