The cognitive effects are going to be so divergent. While the avid learners will learn knowledge and skills on the fly exponentially faster, the populace offloading thinking to the AI models will see unprecedented cognitive decline. This is similar to the effect that the internet had on knowledge retention but this time on critical thinking

Wow this is a neat idea! Are cells co-located? Curious about what’s the isolation boundary?

Show HN: Building a Cloud Native Kubernetes Java Client

https://github.com/Ignoramuss/elev8

Started this because configuring Fabric8 for EKS was driving me crazy. Building a client that auto-detects your environment (IAM roles, profiles, local configs) so you don't have to wire it all up manually. Still pretty early and building for EKS right now. Long way to go, but putting it out there early to see if others have hit the same problems or want to help shape where this goes.

For sure, agents tend to bang their heads against a wall, and can deviate in surprising ways to attempt to escape that wall. Balancing the scope of a plan and making agents stick to it is a tricky balance to strike
This is relatable. IMO the next layer of practical intelligence will be suites of purpose built agents backed by LLMs/SLMs. Context is precious when dealing with stateless tools like language models.
