<p>I think the research / plan / execute idea is good but feels like you would be outsourcing your thinking. Gotta review the plan and spend your own thinking tokens!</p>

<p>Yeah I vibe coded a simple app that takes an org-mode file, renders it as a kanban board, and lets me spin up agents for each task with the prompt in the body in a named tmux session. The frontend gets updated via Claude code hooks when an agent is idle.<p>I think the key is to combine human and agent task tracking in one pane of glass.</p>

<p>I have been doing the same but with happy. It works quite well for quick brainstorms etc. but for deeper work on a real research / plan / implement thing I think you need to actually engage with the output which is hard to do on mobile. Maybe if I had a better UI than terminus to read and check the remote files I would be able to get more done.<p>I am also hoping / trying to put Claude code on top of a personal zettlekasten to automate more of my “personal life” tasks and get more stuff done for me. Haven’t gotten it really singing yet but I think that could also be really cool.</p>

<p>Cool idea. Note that sometimes syllables depend on context. So syllable count I think needs to be a range.<p>Blessed vs “bless-ed” for example<p>Camera can be said cam-ra or cam-er-a for example.</p>

<p>Looks really cool - I noticed Enterprise has smart consent management?<p>The thing I think some enterprise customers are worried about in this space is that in many jurisdictions you legally need to disclose recording - having a bot join the call can do that disclosure - but users hate the bot and it takes up too much visibility on many of these calls.<p>Would love to learn more about your approach there</p>

<p>For me this benchmark suggests that an LLM will try to “force the issue” which results in compounding errors. But I think the logical counterpoint is that you may be asking the LLM to come up an answer without all of the necessary details? Some of these are “baked into” historical transactions which is why it does well in months 1-2.<p>My takeaway is scaling in the enterprise is about making implicit information explicit.</p>

<p>My question on all of the “can’t work with big codebases” is how would a codebase that was designed for an LLM look like? Composed of many many small functions that can be composed together?</p>

<p>I think end state is LLM-facilitated micropayments. One vast clearinghouse / marketplace of human-generated up to date content. Contributors get paid based on whether LLMs called their content via some kind of RAG. Maybe there are multiple aggregators / publishers.</p>

<p>Has anyone tried to use an LLM to test questions / concepts in a broader way via spaced repetition instead of just memorization? Just wondering.</p>

<p>Whoever writes the tool that can Actually Make a legitimate microsoft office powerpoint slide from text will make a lot of money.<p>From what I have seen most of these tools need to do more user research on how powerpoint slides actually look like in practice.<p>There's a lot of "you're doing it wrong, show don't tell, just keep the basics on the slide" but the people that use powerpoint to make $$$ make incredibly dense powerpoint materials that serve as reference documents, not presentation guides (i.e. they are intended as leave-behind documents that people can read in advance)<p>Presentations are also quite hard because:<p>1. It must "compile to" Powerpoint (it must compile to powerpoint because your end users will want to make direct edits and those end users will NOT be comfortable in markdown and in general will be very averse to change)
2. Powerpoint has no layout engine
3. Powerpoint presentations are in fact a beautiful medium in which VISUAL LAYOUT HAS SEMANTIC MEANING (powerpoint is like medieval art where larger is more important)<p>If anyone wants to help me build an engine that can get an LLM to ACTUALLY make powerpoints please let me know. I am sure this is a lot harder than you think it is.</p>

<p>If I had to guess it sounds like they are using CURE to cluster the source documents, then map each generated fact back to the best-matching cluster, and finally test whether the best-matching cluster actually provides / supports the fact?</p>

<p>yes i have been thinking about this for some time. One other thing with zettle I'm not sure was implemented here is you can have topic notes that just refer / summarize other notes; it would be very interesting if these could be autonomously created by some kind of clustering algorithm based on underlying links. Kind of like summary-of-summary.<p>Also curious if there might be some improvements if you dont rely on semantic similarity and just do all the pairwise "how related are these memories and in what way" LLM test like <a href="https://www.superagent.sh/blog/reag-reasoning-augmented-generation">https://www.superagent.sh/blog/reag-reasoning-augmented-gene...</a>.</p>
