Re:Nvidia – open-source auto-ontology on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @06:24AM (#50350628)
why would i use this over some rdf / owl / sparql thing?

i want to use these semantic / KG tech but i find them so confusing!

thats a lot cheaper than renting a H100

The inverse of grill-me: instead of Claude extracting what you know, it teaches you what it knows. It quizzes before it explains, schedules reviews with a simplified FSRS and can drill you on any topic, a document, or your own codebase

clearly this is a plat to own all the agent traces for further training

Re:Evaluating Control Protocols for Untrusted AI Agents on Thursday November 06, 2025 @02:34PM (#45839287)
This paper evaluates three control strategies for untrusted agents: deferral to trusted models, resampling, and critical action deferral. Initial testing showed resampling and critical action deferral achieving 96% safety. However, adversarial testing revealed resampling crashes to 17% safety when attackers can detect resampling or simulate monitors, while critical action deferral remained robust against all attack strategies.
HaluMem introduces the first benchmark for evaluating hallucinations in agent memory systems at the operation level. Through three evaluation tasks (memory extraction, updating, and question answering), it reveals that existing memory systems generate and accumulate hallucinations during early stages, which then propagate errors downstream. The benchmark uses two datasets spanning different context scales to systematically reveal these failure modes.
Re:The OpenHands Software Agent SDK: Composable and Extensible on Thursday November 06, 2025 @07:35AM (#45834526)
OpenHands SDK provides a complete architectural redesign for building production software development agents. It balances simplicity (few lines of code for basic agents) with extensibility (custom tools, memory management) while delivering seamless local-to-remote execution, integrated security, and connections to various interfaces (VS Code, command line, APIs).
Re:Ask HN: Are there AI agents that learn from experience? on Thursday November 06, 2025 @07:15AM (#45834371)
not sure there are any agents yet

but there are some research like

judging by this article, no
Re:Dynamic Tool Allocation for AI Agents (The Rats Pattern) on Monday October 20, 2025 @05:30AM (#45641832)
TL;DR Problem: "Tool overload" is a critical bottleneck for AI agents. Providing an LLM with a large, static list of tools bloats the context window, degrading performance, increasing costs, and reducing accuracy. Solution: Implement a "select, then execute" architectural pattern. Use a lightweight "router" agent to first retrieve a small, relevant subset of tools for a specific task. Then, a more capable "specialist" agent uses that curated set to execute the request. Benefits: Lower latency and cost (fewer tokens), higher tool-selection precision, a scalable architecture for large tool catalogs, and improved reliability. Pattern: This pattern is a form of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applied to tools, often called Retrieval-Augmented Tool Selection (RATS). It can be combined with State-Based Gating for even greater precision. How: This post provides a complete, production-aware implementation using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).
I think its fairly simple, it needs a certain level of proof e.g references to authoritative sources, if not say "i don't know".

did you get paid to make this?
Re:We Added Package.json Support to Deno on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @05:31AM (#35244134)
The biggest issue with node.js was the terrible package manager. Looks like Deno is gonna make all the same mistakes.
