The concept is promising, but I tested it and found the performance quite poor. I used one of my Python projects for the test, which consists of about 10k lines of Python code. The model I utilized was Claude 3.7 Sonnet with thinking.

in the first conversation round, I asked Claude to grasp the overall project and initialize its memory. Unfortunately, Claude experienced a hallucination and generated an episode that included a full name entirely unrelated to my project's actual full name, as my project name is an abbreviation.

In the second conversation round, I provided Claude with the full name of my project and requested it to correct its memory. In response, Claude apologized and claimed that it now understood the full name of my project, but it did not utilize any MCP command.

In the third conversation round, I specifically asked it to use the MCP command to update its memory. Claude successfully added a new episode but failed to remove the incorrect old episode.

It wasn't until the fourth conversation round that I directly pointed out that it should eliminate the incorrect old episode, and Claude finally completed the memory initialization that should have been accomplished at the end of the first round.

I have set up the correct Cursor Rules according to the README.

At this point, it appears this project is challenging to use with natural language. I need to explicitly instruct Claude on which specific tools to call for various operations to achieve the intended outcome.

Am I doing something wrong?
The biggest problem with LLMs isn't that it lacks original insight. It's that the insight is so original that we call that insight hallucinations.

We like to think Humans are the most creative things on the face of the earth and we don't like to attribute creativity to LLMs. The sad reality is that LLMs are likely more creative then humans.
Well, I asked the question and got entirely different answers from all responders, so I guess the claim is baseless.

It's not just long form journalism. The basic five-paragraph essay, taught in every school from elementary through university level, violates this principle. When you're learning to write, there is an implicit assumption that you have a captive audience — even if it's limited to your teacher — who is forced to read your work. So there is generally insufficient emphasis on "getting to the point." Instead, you're taught to "grab the reader's attention," with an exciting sentence or visual anecdote. That's what you're seeing in long form journalism that usually starts with some narrative description of a central character in the story.

Whereas in the real world, you are competing for attention, and nobody has to read what you write. So if your goal is to convey information, you better get to the point. But if your goal is to tell a story, then what's the rush?
Oh, that's much easier than I thought it would be. Nice job being rigorous, too.
Can you fully use MacBook (install apps, updates) without online account?
> Exactly. So then why draw conclusions about how SolarCity was a bad deal for shareholders (see parent comments)?

You can absolutely draw adverse inferences from Tesla's refusal to report certain straightforward, useful numbers. For example, their refusal to publish any real safety statistics, to the point where Elon Musk himself has to invoke rubbish numbers like the 'community tracker'.

If, after all the lawsuits and accusations of failure, and the reporting about the near-zero deliveries and idled factories, the Tesla Energy division is giving you no numbers on the solar roof, and is lumping them together with a totally different product like batteries, there is one thing and only one thing that that means: the numbers are awful.
Why? to increase productivity and improve the human condition. If AI can do research then technological and scientific progress will increase dramatically.

I didn’t vote for Trump because of reasons other than economic.

In terms of economics, he clearly has no fucking clue what the fuck to do. It’s very self evident whenever a reporter asks him an economic question. His entire economic policy is driven by shadowy individuals who I and you don’t know, but they have the right economical credentials to convince Trump to do what he’s doing. If Trump were a leftists he would’ve been too concerned if his economical advisor ever posted on an online forum in 1999 that “Islam is morally corrupt religion” or if “genders are clearly self evident”

Most humans are also too creative, but we have moderating impulses that tell us so much. Very few humans have the skill of being able to ride the cutting edge without going too far off either side of it, and most can only do that in a very narrow subfield.
There's an unknown cost if all human endeavor becomes replaceable by AI. I would be cautious about this.
There are a few dimensions where this is different.

(1) The design is a fully self-contained stack, event-driven, with its own replicated log and embedded storage engine.

That lets it ship as a single binary that you can use without dependency (on your laptop or the cloud). It is really easy to run.

It also scales out by starting more nodes. Every layer scales hand-in hand, from log to processors. (you should give it an object store to offload data, when running distributed)

The goal is a really simple and lightweight way to run yourself, while incrementally scaling to very large setups when necessary. I think that is non-trivial to do with most other systems.

(2) Restate pushes events, compared to Temporal pulling activities. This is to some extent a matter of taste, though the push model has a way to work very naturally with serverless functions (lambda, CF workers, fly.io, ...).

(3) Restate models services and stateful functions, not workflows. This means you can model logic that keeps state for longer than what would be the scope of a workflow (you have like a K/V store transactionally integrated with durable executions). It also supports RPC and messaging between functions (exactly-once integrated with the durable execution).

(4) The event-driven runtime, together with the push model, gets fairly good latencies (low overhead of durable execution).
I had to install Windows 11 on a laptop last year, for the first time since win2k. I managed to dodge the online Microsoft account and create a local account, and was proud of myself...

And the installer asks "Enter your name", so I enter "Firstname Lastname".

Now my $HOME directory is `C:\Users\Firstname Lastname` with a space character in it!

Ironically, the whole point of the Windows machine was to install ESRI's ArcGIS Pro, which literally cannot handle spaces in filepaths in the year 2025, so I can't reference data or projects from my user's home directory.
I was just talking to someone about this, this morning.

I will use ChatGPT (generally) to help me solve occasional issues. I'll come across some conundrum, and ask ChatGPT for a suggestion, which it confidently delivers.

The first suggestion is almost always wrong.

I'll say something like "That won't work," or "That answer is deprecated."

It will say "You're right!", followed by one that is more useful.

I suspect lots of folks run with the first answer.

Essentially, you can delegate any task you'd rather not do yourself. PineAI is remarkably intelligent – it proactively gathers information, initiates contact autonomously, and works diligently to achieve your goals.

By taking care of those burdensome tasks, PineAI frees up your time so you can enjoy life more.

PineAI is also a valuable ally for individuals who find phone calls challenging. This includes international students navigating language barriers, deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals who rely on phone communication, and those experiencing social anxiety.

PineAI is your trustworthy personal assistant. Start delegating your tasks today and experience the convenience!
Right. So you have a testing framework/agent/other llm. It’s not like our brain is one independent machine. It’s various parts all contributing different aspects of intelligence.

I've used my MacBook without an Apple ID for years and it works fine. When you install a fresh copy of MacOS, they don't force you into bullshit hoops like having to disconnect your WiFi or running some bat script just to get the option for a local account back. No, it just asks for a login and provides a button to skip it. You knows the exact same thing Windows used to do, but doesn't anymore.

I'm not sure what you mean by pretty dang unsupported. Everything I use the MacBook for as a software developer works great, no Apple account needed.
Yeah, not only are they lying about their intentions, but they are also absurdly wrong from a technical standpoint too. How in the world can an online account provide more security than a local one? Online has way, way much more attack surface. It's not even close.

Online is more about convenience than security. Though with Windows, it looks more like convenience for M$ and not for its users.

This has happened to me twice in Australia, and plagued a friend so much they sold their car. They couldn't afford the replate fee (and figured it would just happen again) so they gave up, I gave them a spare bicycle, which was then stolen.

I can see how people lose their faith in policing competence, it was at least always resolved fairly but the stress of being accused of all that stuff, not knowing if you'll be put in jail or acquitted etc. You still bare the costs of replating a car as well.

Not for the lack of trying. There have been more than a handful of Libertarian city takeovers and sea-steading projects, and they all end in similar, predictable ways.

If someone grows up in some panopticon-like structure from birth, they by definition cannot feel like they're being watched - to even register the fact of being watched, one must know the feeling of not being watched.

I don't mean that in any abstract or airy-fair way either, just matter-of-factly. It's a major cultural change. Kids often have no lived experience of privacy - privacy sometimes simply means social non-existence for them, and is thus deemed a non-option.

It's playing out in many areas now, as we've lots of people who lived before the internet, and at the same time, loads of human beings who only know a world of constant surveillance, a world of views = value, a world of constantly caressing your phone, pawing at it at every available opportunity. A world of quiet buses, people getting dressed up for their phone and pretending to go on a night out but never leaving their bedroom, other people at home in their bedroom on their phones liking that "story", etc etc.

I understand that. The point is that I gain no information from it, and would need more complex typing to gain information.

I keep seeing people trying to wrap their heads around various tricky covariance-vs-contravariance things (I personally can never remember which is which), or trying to make the types check for things that just seem blatantly unreasonable to me. And it takes up a lot of discussion space in my circles, because two or more people will try to figure it out together.

If nothing else, you want to do this merger after the check clears from some new investors, for two reasons: it provides a high valuation you can use to minimize the wasted equity, and because it is highly dilutive of X.ai shareholders to transfer a lot of their equity to a Twitter which is not remotely worth $44b, you want all shareholders in before you soak them in the merger, rather than after, when they can bail or demand revised terms which reflect the actual low value of Twitter now dragging down X.ai.
