Correct me if I'm wrong but reading through the comments of the thread this seems to be post training/fine tuning.

So I can’t fully see how that’s related to the infinite monkeys. A typewriting monkey doesn’t have access to a verification function. And even if it did, it would not be the original concept anymore with infinite typewriting monkeys producing the works of Shakespeare.

Nevertheless, I upvoted your comment because it’s definitely insightful.

Yea, I don’t know if it will hold up. I hope so. It could. I don’t know if it would or wouldn’t.

Could you explain more? Did some ethical hacking at hackthebox.eu (one insane box, one hard box and a few mediums). But I do not see how I will give additional value to a model.

Just a SWE and data analyst at work, so maybe I am missing something.

I am on Dutch subreddits a lot, to get a local pulse and not to be too HN minded.

A lot of them would have vilified you by now. Some even would have even questioned your morality.

Again, I agree with you. But clearly not everyone has this view.

Self-development brought me so much though. I am happily married because of it, and probably wouldn’t have been romantically seen without it.

I know this because I have a friend who is a lot like me and he didn’t develop himself enough and he stays single. Because of his strides in self-development from back in the day. He does get a lot of dates, but every time they say after one or two dates that they should just be friends.

It’s harsh to say he didn’t develop himself enough. I also find it true. He didn’t find it worth it to overcome his fears and wants to stay in his comfort zone. He has fun playing sports, board games with friends and video games. But I also know that he yearns for a romantic connection. And that’s the issue.

I do agree that for people like me and my friend the self-development route is really demanding. I simply hate being single more. So I dedicated my life to it, and at some point I figured it out and realized it was more like a 5 year journey of which 4 years were back to back and then 1 year spread out over like 12 years (so a good month per year, I didn’t need to do more).

Now I’m on a similar journey for financial independence but I’m noticing that I don’t have a similar drive. Constantly forcing myself to do self-development is now perhaps too much to ask.

So I guess it also depends on once drive.

To get the whole discussion of “I have seen this behavior before. I know an addict when I see one”. It was embarrassing. And then to hear “you’re 16 and acting out your puberty”.

Adults are silly sometimes when they are convinced of something, and fucking persistent.

But I dare to guess that most HN’ers did high school bio and that’s it, so it’s harder to even give a small thoughtful comment on it, so they refrain.

Case in point, I wouldn’t have commented either. But I feel at home here and notice some behavioral patterns. And compared to other fellow devs, I generally am more tuned to tune in on behavioral patterns because of having studied psychology.

But that’s just my take.

How is this new? I vibe coded something in a similar vein months ago. In my case they send markdown files to each other and have a watcher that watches the folders of all the other agents.

If this type of stuff is frontpage news, let me share what I cobbled together.

  ls ~/.agent/projects//callgraph

  callgraph.current.md         callgraph.last.read.agent.md
  callgraph.diff.md

  ls ~/.agent/projects//memo
  architect   coder  retro     tester

  ls ~/.agent/projects//memo/architect

  ls ~/.agent/projects//memo/coder
  10_Mallet   12_Crucible 14_Swage    2_Forge     4_Anvil     6_Tongs     8_Chisel

This is because architects read a very comprehensive guide on software design/architecture and get to use the callgraph utility but cannot see the code. Coders read the codebase in full but only read a small markdown file on how to write readable code. And of course, every agent that is set up this way have to read a markdown file on how to use the memo system.

If I'd need a memo system like this for like 25 agents, I'd need something different but up until 5 agent with me looking at 5 terminal windows worked well enough.
