  • your research paper:

    llm generated agent.md files are harmful. handwritten ones on average don’t have an effect on ability to complete a task

    thread article:

    agents keep signing off on commits wrong. we added it to the agents.md and now they don’t

    benchmarks notoriously don’t measure the likelihood that the results would be merged by maintainers, just that they passed a test

    the old style “repo map” agents.md files that every tool used to create is no longer useful, but of course things that would otherwise be repeated prompts are still good. I cut the ones at work down from hundreds of lines each to tens. without those last few lines the amount of iteration I do - both with agent and when reviewing PRs - goes up significantly







  • I don’t understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn’t exactly conspicuous at this point.

    schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there’s so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

    it feels like we’re approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren’t recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the “pervert glasses” position is intentionally obtuse
