Agent engineer master. Currently it's a skill builder to generate custom production grade skills for agents but my goal is to build it into a system that non engineers can use to build and deploy agents with just prompting. https://agentengineermaster.com/

I hope this works. A decade ago I submitted glowing microbes to the epa but they blocked it. My read from going through that was that it was politically impossible. Hopefully times have changed.

Edit: my microbes were gmo, these are not, so no epa rules. Good luck to them!

Not only that but they seem to have cut my plan ability to use Sonnet too. I have a routine that used to use about 40% of my 5 hour max plan tokens, then since yesterday it gets stopped because it uses the whole 100%. Anyone else experience this?

Maybe but having it search first to load the context with relevant information sure gets better results

It's the other way around. Cashier's spend their 4 percent, where's the lawyers probably save it. Though of course median salary for the two categories means 4 percent change is different in absolute dollars

New comment by technotony in "Researchers search for more precise ways to measure pain"

technotony — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:04:14 +0000

I've found meditation very useful in this regard. If you focus on observing in detail #1 type pain, you find that the #2 becomes much more managable. The technique is to get curious about the pain, ask what type it is (hot/cold/electric etc), where exactly is the pain. what shape is it? how does it change over time? It sounds counter-intuitive but by focusing on it it becomes easier to manage (because I think a lot of #2 is story and mental reactions to the pain rather than the actual pain itself and the mental reactions are self-fulfilling in a negative way).

You are assuming that consciousness can be reproduced by simulating the brain. Which might be possible but it's by no means certain.

This has not been my experience at all. I moved to the bay area in 2012 and 5 people I met living there have built unicorns/have net worth now around > $1BN. None of them leveraged family connections. this might be true in Europe but the best folks figure out how to move to america.
