Lost 20GB out of the usable 40GB on "256"GB Mac to the useless local models :/

Insider stories on agent engineered startups

"Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, noted that by the Winter 2025 cohort, approximately 25% of the participating startups reported that 95% or more of their entire application codebase was generated by artificial intelligence". Curious to know what has happened since then. There would be some pros (fast to validate idea, pivot etc), some cons (code slop, poor architecture, etc). Would like to hear...

Will Codex App support new context window, rather than compaction, for "unrelated" sub-tasks during long horizon tasks?
Re:MCP is the wrong abstraction [video] on Tuesday November 04, 2025 @01:35AM (#45807991)
The core issue with the traditional MCP/Tool Calling approach is that adding too many tools or having to chain multiple calls leads to models behaving worse and inefficiently using tokens. Cloudflare's new concept proposes converting MCP tools into a TypeScript API and letting the LLM write code to call that API, instead of listing all the tools for the model to call directly

Anyone knows the 'biology' of AI coding models/systems?

This question is inspired by the work done in https://transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribution-graphs/biology.html . When we give a prompt such as https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/05/how-im-using-coding-agents-in-september-2025/#:~:text=are%20the%20fixes%20they%20propose%20the%20correct%20ones , are we really expecting the llm to have built an adequate representation of 'whatever is the required...

Possible to get sued for using MIT licensed OSS?

Only Apache 2.0 license guarantees that the licensee doesn't get sued for patent infringement.Why do majority of open source startups (licensors) use MIT license? Is it that that they want to keep the option of suing, on the basis of patent infringement, open?So, to be safer no licensee should use code from a MIT licensed project, right?

Could you elaborate on the 'headaches of various vendor reviews and declarations'? (I thought paperwork etc was table stakes for a SOC 2 certificate)

What do you think about statements such that “AI has IQ of 155”, “It has same IQ as Elon Musk”? This seems detached LLM’s actual performance results!
