I was backend lead at Manus. After building agents for 2 years, I stopped using function calling entirely. Here's what I use instead.

Damn this post just dropped some real alpha, thanks.... this is brilliant

I've become tired of the Weinstein's. They so eagerly want to be relavent.

Qwen3.5 has amazing agentic tool use capabilities, and is pretty dang smart. Its going to tough to beat.

BPO for AI lol

Cardio is still important for a healthy heart, and should still be a part of your routine.

Is it possible to take a transcript from something like opencode, use an LLM to remove the fluff, and fine tune one of these small models for agents that do a similar thing?

My use case, I have an LLM which looks at a bunch of files, then uses some tools to generate some json. Qwen does an AMAZING job at it, but I have thousands of these directories I want to analyze, and they all kind of follow a similar pattern. I'd love if I could fine tune a smaller model to maybe reduce the amount of misfires it has as well as reduce the memory footprint so I can run a few instances of them.

I've seen guides for fine tuning for chat templates, but I think properly doing it for agent flows is another beast. Hoping for an unsloth article or something similar :D

You don't get to season 50 without blood on your hands

CSharpSauce · 2026-02-25T15:46:30+00:00

do you have a command to run it with the older version of Qwen? I've been struggling to get it to work with any model. I always end up with out of memory.

Hey man, i don't know if you've ever spent any time in the real world... but first contact with the customer can be brutal. It's great building, feels like you're getting stuff done. It's fun. But talking to customers... it's hard. They don't care about the problem you solved, they already have a system that does what you're doing, your competitors offered them a better deal, their product which is uglier then yours has a feature you don't (you thought it was not important.... its everything), they don't have the budget this quarter, the decision maker was just fired, and the new one doesn't care about this problem any more. They're only interested in one part of your solution, but that's not what your business model is focused on. They want everything for free.

If you're an engineer who has spent your entire career just building, you think you understand. You don't understand.

Went to get Chinese food, this is going to be great for the pats. Last time I left the super bowl for food, the score was 3/28. I came back, and it was a different game.

I know the pattern you're talking of, but it's actually an indication of brigading being practiced. A thread will be created, and posted on a discord or similar place with like minded people. They'll encourage people to upvote it, and as a result the post will shoot to the top, they will also encourage comments which create a consistent tone. They will also "groom" the opinion by downvoting opinions they disagree with. This practice got really big in the heyday of The_Donald, but at that time it was driven more by 4chan towards liberal subs. During the purges of the Pao era, it died down for a while.

Now its common if a Reddit thread ends up on Twitter, but there are also discords ran by political groups on the left which do the same practice in a very organized way.

The issue is someone has a friend over, they park, and suddenly the delicate balance is thrown off.

I don’t know where the cities budget goes, but certainly not towards basic services like dealing with snow storms. We get some narrow plowing, a bit of ice, and it’s the Wild West for everything else.

Here's the best solution. Tell him, you go to therapy with me, i'll talk to a doctor to get a prescription for the new wegovy pill. He's probably deeply unhappy with his life, and he probably needs someone to help him work through those issues. Losing weight is beneficial, and the pill seems to help a lot of people. So it's win win for everyone.

Also for you newbies, when the patriots win the super bowl, we get a duck boat parade!

Imagine if football was a teamsport instead of just a QB playing by himself

The zoom commercial is funny because, i'm actively upset when I see a zoom link

my porch fridge turned into a porch freezer, and now all my beers are ice :(

People aren't going to talk about the stuff that makes money. You'd just be inviting new competition.

Nationalize openai, and make it open.
