the best agent framework in my opinion is Pi. Pi avoids MCP thats a good thing. why assume that the planet will migrate from HTTP to MCP? no, instead lets assume we have client code we can call. we already have a rich ecosystem of HTTP services and packages. and if we assume a rewrite for agents we probably wouldn't come up with MCP but something more powerful.

DNS is much more foundational and overlooked here. how does the world agree that "x.com" resolves the way it does?

interesting, seems more of an enterprise offering. its OpenAI only for and you plan to expand to other vendors? anything opensource?

New comment by bachback in "Hy 1.0 – Lisp dialect for Python"

bachback — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 07:05:12 +0000

yes, you can think of Lisp almost as an intermediate language. Lisp probably lends itself well to machine code generation but I haven't done enough assembly to really know that. its not designed for that, its just a side effect of the language primitives being very very short. you can write a basic Lisp interpreter in a few hours yourself https://norvig.com/lispy.html. Creating a decent compiled language takes a lot longer than that. Lisp only requires 5 or so primitives and it doesn't have a grammar.

it is a bit ackward for humans but machines can process it better because it has less structure. for example what I thought is that Lisp could potentially be a great choice to interop with Large Language Models with, because its potentially shorter code. Good clojure code can be 5-10x shorter than python code. With LLMs size of code matters a lot.

Code thats written in Lisp is using AST differently. It makes the process of generating machine code much easier. This in turn enables macros which is meta programming not available in non Lisp languages. However on the other hand I tried this avenue and since most modern computing is not Lisp based it severely limits its potential. I'm hoping for a Rust based Clojure or variant. Clojure has the problem its based on the java ecosystem which has severe downsides. A lisp thats based on python doesnt make much sense to me personally python isnt a good language to write other languages in. I think Zig and Rust would be the interesting choices. One attempt: https://github.com/clojure-rs/ClojureRS

for coding tasks see

https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/

the question is how would you define "improve" and "solve". RLHF in a way delegates this to humans.

what does divided together mean? maybe your question doesn't have a good answer, because the question is not formulated well enough.

API not down. instead of waiting, started simple python code to interact with chatgpt. didn't see another repo for it so far, maybe someone else knows a good one

seriously?

thanks for this, is there a way to get a good overview over more exotic languages?

thats mostly copy & paste. what if OpenAI chat would be more like google docs from the start?

Things that helped me:

1) go travel to cheaper countries 2) lift weights 3) do a blood test and learn about hormones 4) go to the sauna 5) meditation

finance and business success is 2nd order to general improvement.

1) learn how to live of 500$/month globally and calculate your time to live as cash in bank/500. nomadlist.com.

2) get into crypto (building projects not speculation)
