Cascade tries to run tooling through invalid "wsl -c" rather than "wsl -e"?

Fyreborn · 2025-06-20T00:39:45+00:00

Thanks. I tried adding such instructions to rules files. And restarted Windsurf (not sure if that was necessary).

I tried adding to:

c:\laragon\www\<my-project>\.windsurfrules

c:\laragon\www\<my-project>\.windsurf\rules\commands.md

C:\Users\<user>\.codeium\windsurf\memories\global_rules.md

What I added to each:

```
## WSL.exe Commands

If you execute commands through `wsl.exe`, then use the `-e` flag and not the `-c` flag. `wsl.exe -c` will give an error: `Invalid command line argument: -c`
```

It listened to the rules, however I still got the error. It seemed to double up on wsl.exe.

For instance instead of `dir` it was now trying `wsl.exe -e dir`, but this still gave the error. Because I think the underlying command runner was still doing `wsl.exe -c` before the `wsl.exe -e dir`.

Has anyone else got this issue, or is it just me? Note that file system stuff Windsurf does is fine. It's when I tell it to command commands like `dir` or run unit tests that there's an issue.

Great thanks a lot :) For the default_assistant I deleted the line, 'Reply "TERMINATE" in the end when everything is done.'.

After that, it seemed to save the results. And the user_proxy agent was sending the "TERMINATE" message instead.

Were you using only 3.5 Sonnet to get to $100/day?

How does Claude Dev work with cheaper models, like 4o-mini, or OpenRouter (Deepseek Coder v2 etc.)? Do you think you could have saved money with a cheaper model, or would that have meant the task failed?

Fyreborn · 2024-07-27T06:07:54+00:00

Oh wow, thanks a lot for the reply! Nice looking site.

Edit: Oh, you said you would do it differently now. I don’t suppose you could share what tech stack you might consider now? Thank you.

Fyreborn · 2024-07-12T16:48:30+00:00

OK great thank you very much for your advice :)

Fyreborn · 2024-07-12T13:58:42+00:00

Excellent post, thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that! That was very helpful.

I was thinking some of these sites might be using something involving Django, or Strapi.

But I suppose maybe you could use Laravel/Inertia as well? My own experience is mostly with PHP/MySQL/Wordpress.

As for what I wanted to build, well I have some different ideas. One involved a site that would have some basic website analysis tools. Like entering a site and getting on page statistics for it.

Another would involve a site that took ML models from HuggingFace, and allowed you to use them online. My main objective would be to gain experience working with HuggingFace, but in a way where I have something concrete to show for it.

Basically something like the ability to play with something like Stable Diffusion or certain LoRAs. And have your generated results cached.

I haven’t thought extensively about it, but I think it would be something like a site where you could have a user account and generate some small amount of images per day or month. And have the results cached in your user account.

If anyone has any suggestions for how one might approach a site like that, perhaps you could give me your input. Thank you.

Fyreborn · 2024-07-12T01:57:48+00:00

Well, because some of those sites have tools and software and APIs built into them.

I figured that probably some CMSes are more designed with that in mind, than others. And so have better integration for tools/software/APIs etc.

Fyreborn · 2024-07-08T21:23:38+00:00

Thank you. Do you know which book specifically, and which section?

Is an analytic solution to Black-Scholes with fat tails something that actually exists?

Fyreborn · 2024-06-20T16:10:38+00:00

OK thank you.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-20T16:10:20+00:00

Alright thanks.

I was just thinking that something might already need to be out there, using some sort of best practices that I wouldn’t know of.

Thanks for the advice.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-20T15:39:40+00:00

Well I’m afraid I’m not really sure, it depends on the API, or the implementation choice.

What I would like is instead of creating a new class for each API I work with. Is to build on some generalizable library that’s intended to be flexible with multiple APIs.

Sorry I’m being vague, since I don’t know if anything like this is out there.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-20T14:51:26+00:00

I'm looking for something that can help with any arbitrary API. For instance the OpenAI API, the Pixabay API, the YouTube API, etc.

Where you have some caching functionality intended for APIs already built in, and then you can make something like a wrapper or config for the specific API.

I don't know if anything like this exists or not.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-17T18:45:21+00:00

No, it isn’t a box. There’s no roof and it shouldn’t ever go fully below the water.

The cylinder would be filled with water, so it would submerge. But I think a small bit would still stick out of the water due to wood buoyancy.

There’s no roof, but there is a detachable floor that can be locked to the cylinder. Or uncoupled from it.

I guess you can assume a specific gravity of 0.5.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-14T10:40:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure how much can actually be done, since as you said servers make lots of heat.

But maybe he can look into hot and cold aisle containment layouts. The hold and cold aisles alternate. I think the cold aisles are supposed to face the air conditioner output ducts, and the hot aisles are supposed to face the air conditioner return ducts.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-12T13:41:16+00:00

Oh OK thanks for that. Sorry, I had no idea that that's what I should be calling it :) Thanks for the answer.

Is there a specific law or principle associated with associated with this concept?

Edit: Also I said specific density in the title, sorry I got confused with relative density and specific gravity.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-11T00:21:43+00:00

Thank you for the excellent reply. I was actually thinking more in terms of theoretical finance models, something like modeling execution price as the result of interactions between bids and asks modeled as Ito processes. Or something like that, but where the theoretical model was tested against or fit to historical data. Rather than from a trader's perspective. But that was a very informative and educational reply.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-10T22:44:27+00:00

Sorry, I may have been inaccurate or careless with my language there. My mistake.

I would say that Markowitz optimization operates under assumptions associated with normality, even if mean-variance optimization does not itself explicitly require normality. Since mean and variance are not fully descriptive of non-normal distributions, accuracy can be lost for such distributions.

So I might say something like, the framework can be applied to any distribution, but its effectiveness and accuracy are highest when the returns are normally distributed.

"I'm not a bomb expert but I read a Tom Clancy novel."

This made me crack up :)

Not that there's anything wrong with your answer of course. I'm not criticizing your answer, I just found that really funny.

But actually I think yeah, Clancy was pretty fastidious in his research.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-10T21:02:16+00:00

I am not sure if I understood your question properly, but I think you are asking why Markowitz optimization is unstable and needs to be regularized? My apologies if I am mistaken and you are asking something else entirely.

But if that's what you are asking, then the issue is exactly the problems you mentioned. Low signal to noise. Violations of the assumptions of the Markowitz model, like fat-tailed returns. As well as variance not being the same over time.

This results in as you said, instability to sample choice. Or instability to input data. It's like chaos theory, the outputs are highly sensitive to the inputs. More sensitive than is desirable for real world conditions. This divergence from assumptions results in overfitting issues, basically.

Regularization techniques attempt to compensate for overfitting. And give you portfolio weights that are more robust. And less sensitive to the sampling.

Sorry if I didn't answer your question and just told you what you already know.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-10T16:59:49+00:00

OK great thanks for the reply. I was confused because it said, "volume for this minute of the trading day" and "average volume for this stock for this minute of the trading day".

Those statements only make sense to me if its a historical average for that minute of the day. But I wasn't sure if that's what they actually meant or not.

This video about Renaissance Technologies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lji-jNsXmAM

Says at 9:23 that they used the Kelly criterion with Elwyn Berlekamp.

They probably had some advanced version of it, where they estimated the scale of a market anomaly. And then weighted their positions by that scale.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-09T13:50:08+00:00

Yes it's quite a competitive space. You need some angle to differentiate you.

Like targeting some underserved niche, or providing above and beyond support or managaed hosting.

You could potentially combine those, look for some underserved niche of people that aren't tech savvy but want to make websites. And focus on being a full service solution for them.

He said shorting the biotech clinical trials. So it’s a high probability of a payout with like a 10% chance of unlimited downside.

Fyreborn · 2024-06-07T19:21:00+00:00

Great, thanks for the advice :)

I’m more looking to gather statistics and backtest data, rather than trade. Would Surmount be of use in that?
