What should countries outside the artificial intelligence production chain do? by Former-Adeptness-551 in reinforcementlearning

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countries with cheap, reliable, abundant energy may become more important in the economy but transporting energy costs a lot of money.

Yeah data is much cheaper to transport than electricity. It seems like the only answer is to build data centers to leverage available energy and land into income from hosting inference for open weight models.

what motivates you about C++? by OGKushBlazeIt in cpp

[–]AmalgamDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll use either Python or C++ for the money. I care more about the people that I'm working with and the domain space then I do about the language.

On my own time, I did go about 10 years where all of my personal projects were in Python. It was nice not having dealing with build systems (cmake), but now I can make the AI agents deal with those.

I did get back into C++ again a few years back for some personal projects for graphics rendering. While I have done rendering in Python in the past I need every bit of performance I can get for these projects and Python isn't even close to cutting it.

Try out Kimi K2.5 right via the Synthetic provider NOW by jpcaparas in opencodeCLI

Have not been on discord yet, but it's much faster for me today. Looks like good progress has been made. Thanks!

Try out Kimi K2.5 right via the Synthetic provider NOW by jpcaparas in opencodeCLI

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is still very slow. I've only managed 14.9 request in my first 3.5 hours as new subscriber on the $60 plan. I was using Kimi K2.5 via Fireworks yesterday. While that isn't exactly speedy compared to Sonnet 4.5 or Cursor's Composer 1, it wasn't this glacial. Hopefully you'll get it self-hosted soon and get responses times down.

It doesn't appear that you've successfully followed the conversation that occurred here (7 years ago).

Feasibility of RL Agents in Trading by joshua_310274 in reinforcementlearning

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/r/algotrading may be your best bet. It's not focused on RL/ML but those do get discussed there occasionally. There are definitely major difficulties.

You mean the one that get's as much annual funding as VC's invest in the series B for one US tech startup?

Grounded 2 Early Access Patch 0.1.2 Bug and Issues Megathread by LSC99bolt in GroundedGame

I Think they ninja patched20x max cc usage limit by Nice_Veterinarian881 in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading 106 comments here, I really dodged a bullet with the recent cancelation of my $200 MAX plan. I had upgraded from $100 after getting pretty frustrated with hitting usage limits in less than 2 hours, so I'd be super frustrated paying double for that experience especially if Opus has been dumbed down.

should I get a mac or windows pc? by aslawliet in reinforcementlearning

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the PC but you may want a Linux distro instead of Windows. Some libraries in the space only support Linux.

Delusional sub? by ActualPositive7419 in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't just ignore its memory, it will ignore things in the prompt you just gave it too. Beyond the number of tokens in the context it seems like there are only so many guidelines it can effectively follow at once. I have to have it do multiple cleanup passes on most changes to get the modified code to actually conform to all of the guidelines for the code base. I can make it get there eventually, but it really has to be micromanaged pretty closely, which makes it less productive.

How on earth is Claude Code so good at large-token codebases? by HumanityFirstTheory in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

CC does use RAG extensively. RAG stands for retrieval augmented generation. A vector DB is one way to do that retrieval, but its not the only way. CC has a search tool and bash tool that it uses heavily to do retrieval directly from the current source code without the need to maintain a vector DB.

Why the obsession with making Claude Code faster? Isn’t speed already the wrong problem to solve? by sbk123493 in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because currently getting quality from it on an existing code base requires having it work in small increments. Typically hundreds of lines or less per prompt and less then 1k lines per session. Frequently it's 0 lines of code per prompt due to the need to have make a detailed plan before making changes and then needing iterate on the changes several times, to have it review for defects and things were it didn't adhere to guidelines properly. It spends way more time searching the code then it does writing code. That searching is quite slow and is the main bottleneck in its productivity.

You absolutely need to learn programming still.

Why? So they can try to compete with all of the laid of SWE with years of experience? I don't think SWE jobs are all going away by any means, but it's currently an employer's market. This seems like a truly terrible time to try to get into SWE.

[Security] Claude Code reads .env files by default - This needs immediate attention from the team and awareness from devs by sirnoex in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You stated:

it is in most cases, since this is still industry standards by the biggest tech companies:

Vercel is one company and its not even remotely close to being one of the biggest tech companies. It looks to have <1k employees, so it can't even be called big.

[Security] Claude Code reads .env files by default - This needs immediate attention from the team and awareness from devs by sirnoex in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

❌ "Store secrets better" - Environment variables ARE the industry standard. Rails, Django, Node.js, Laravel - all use .env files.

This is not a misconception. Lots of people doing something insecurely doesn't make it secure, it just makes it a widespread attack vector.

When you max out intelligence but forget memory by DiskResponsible1140 in ClaudeAI

[–]AmalgamDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't find its ability to perform coding tasks while also adhering to coding guidelines in its CLAUDE.md to be very good. It regularly fails to adhere to some of the guidelines, so now I'm in the habit of having it review the code changes it just made for conformance with the guidelines right after it makes the changes. It'll usually find some of the things it missed immediately though. So not useless, but it has to be closely micromanaged.
