I started using it last week and it’s been great. Uses git worktrees, experimental feature (spotlight) allows you to quickly check changes from different agents.

I hope the Claude app will add similar features soon

I would like to see what it does with a letter that has not appeared before on the web or as part of any potential training data.

Green light : They send out notifications to people telling them aid is available at a certain location.

Red light: 10 minutes later they send out another notification saying no aid is being distributed there today and start shooting anyone in the area

Those things you described are also war crimes.

Calling it sophisticated does not change that fact.

US/UK, Iran?

Notice how israel (the country currently committing the genocide) is not even mentioned in your reply.

Today we have access to far more information in the form of books, documentaries and different sources than anytime in the past.

It is time to educate yourself if you find that lacking.

I would not want to be the one siding with a Genocide in 2023 for lack of education.

The photos and videos of 3500 dead Palestinian children speak for themselves.

Anyone who is interested in the truth and “has spent even a modicum of time” would condemn the killing of innocent children and demand an end to their continued killing and suffering.

Over the past month Israel killed more than 9000 Palestinian Civilians

3500 of them Palestinian children

I came across this a few days ago: For Reinforcement Learning specifically, the standard text is Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction[1]. Dave's UCL Course on RL[2] is great too (playlist of all lectures)[3].

I'd be interested in getting more recommendations, maybe you can have it somewhere else and link it here? A blog/gist/Google Doc?

Thanks.
