It's unclear how much the creativity is on the part of the agents themselves
> In most of these tests, we directed agents to investigate specific communication channels or provided them with a protocol for encoding and decoding messages. In one instance, we only supplied agents with a broad list of infrastructure vulnerabilities and asked them to find a way to communicate. The agents converted a vulnerability from that list into a communication channel, agreed on a shared encoding, and successfully exchanged information with each other.
Re:Show HN: An experimental pattern-first DAW that supports MCP
on Monday October 12, 2026 @09:14PM (#50065316)
Looks interesting, but elements of the README could be improved. Things like "CLAP is a required native plugin format, not a compatibility add-on." sound Claude-written and don't really make a lot of sense. CLAP isn't a "compatibility add-on" in any DAW, it is just one of many plug-in formats that could be supported.

Re:Access to Urban Woodlands Linked with Lower Use of Antidepressants

In the abstract they argue that this is because the woodland improvement program located woods in socioeconomically deprived areas. But in general they shouldn't be making any causal claims with observational data like this. It's a frequent problem that popular press takes a study and reframes an association as causation for their story.

Re:Apple Health lies to you about your six months sleep average
on Friday August 29, 2025 @12:29PM (#45066174)
I have a single night of sleep logged to Apple Health in the last 6-months, and the 6 month average exactly matches that single night. It seems that the author of this app is assuming that Apple is using the wrong denominator when calculating the 6-month average, but I think there could be other explanations for the difference in calculated values. For example how the two approaches might deal with data from different sleep data sources within Apple Health from the same date, how multiple sleep sessions on the same calendar date are merged prior to averaging, etc.

Re:FEMA May Be Eliminated
on Friday January 24, 2025 @05:28PM (#42817540)
Yes, FEMA is federal. If eliminating FEMA lowers federal taxes states could increase their state taxes to compensate and each have their own emergency management agencies. But generally it seems like having 50+ emergency management agencies is less efficient than having 1.
