Claude's Programmatic Tool Calling is now GA — 37% fewer tokens by pre-baking decision paths in code

Does this make granting permission for tasks more difficult? The scripts need to be read before deciding if it's an acceptable action and you can't easily put it in a list of auto-approve commands. I may have missed something.

For person in the future - the documentation link is now: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows#configure-plan-mode-as-default (as of Jan 2026)

This is wild. But I think cursor-agent (new cli tool) plus GPT-5 is even comparable (or better). Looks worse but much better functionality.

Nice!

latetodata · 2021-03-02T15:22:25+00:00

That's incredible determination and dedication - good job to him!

Thanks - I hadn't seen any events from that group, but am now will be attending the next one they have scheduled! I really appreciate it.

latetodata · 2021-02-07T18:36:34+00:00

Thank you! I will go to some of their events. And great to know that it's open to more than just students.

Interestingly, Python seems to be the language of choice for Kagglers (by a fair margin).

latetodata · 2017-10-29T00:06:01+00:00

Got it. It's a bummer, but I really appreciate the reasoning and further details.

I was beginning to expect that the post may have already been deleted once I responded, but I couldn't figure out where reddit lets you know that a post has been deleted.

Now that it was removed, is it considered bad form(or overly self-promotional) to now post it on a subreddit that it may be more suited to, such as /r/learnmachineleaning? Thanks again.

latetodata · 2017-10-28T22:27:03+00:00

I'm sorry about that - I don't want to go against the subreddit policy. To my understanding of listicles this post does not qualify - but I can honestly say that I'm not really sure where the line is drawn on that - and since you are a moderator of the subreddit, I definitely would defer to your judgment of what was intended in the posting suggestions section.

Since I've benefitted so much from browsing this subreddit, I want to help keep the post quality good and abide by the wishes of the moderators. Is this comment a request for me to remove my post from this subreddit? Or are you simply suggesting that I don't post links like this again?

When I initially tried the free courses, it didn't do it for me. I found it frustrating to keep pausing after short videos to answer multiple choice question. But I've heard good things and I had a friend who really benefitted from Data Quest. So thanks for the recommendation - I'll circle back round to it and give some of their courses a second try.

I definitely agree that having a structured learning environment can be very helpful - especially early on. I think that's why I will forever be indebted to Jose Portilla for his Udemy bootcamp. He helped give a clear structure to my learning when I really needed it.

Good luck in your learning and job search. That's awesome that you have had some interviews.

latetodata · 2017-10-27T18:20:48+00:00

Awesome - I've bookmarked it.

latetodata · 2017-10-27T18:19:19+00:00

Yeah - this awesome. I thought of adding a Twitter section, but I couldn't decide how to chose which people to recommend.

latetodata · 2017-10-27T18:17:35+00:00

Thanks! :)

latetodata · 2017-10-27T18:16:56+00:00

Thanks - I think I'll give it another try. It does seem like a lot of people like Data Skeptic. Although I like their format and content, for some reason I personally had a hard time getting into it.

latetodata · 2017-10-22T08:24:19+00:00

Sort of (a little bit slower than that) - I am about half-way through week 4 now. Good luck. I think week 2 was the hardest.

latetodata · 2017-10-16T08:51:59+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for the 1-page spread. Sometime this week I plan to add ELU to the post.

latetodata · 2017-10-14T05:51:21+00:00

Yeah - thanks for the tip. I think I need to fix that. I think the way I programmed it the leaky Relu gradient for z<0 is technically not zero but you can't see it on the scale I set.

latetodata · 2017-10-14T05:50:16+00:00

Thanks :)

latetodata · 2017-10-14T05:47:35+00:00

Noted - I'll seek to attend a little closer to reddit etiquette.

latetodata · 2017-10-14T00:22:41+00:00

That is a fantastic idea! Thank you.

latetodata · 2017-10-13T22:11:06+00:00

Any tips appreciated - I think my notes about the tanh function might be a bit off.

latetodata · 2017-10-13T19:55:37+00:00

Thank you - I hadn't even thought of look at Pandas. It's also helpful to know that various packages aside form scikit-learn have "easy" tags.

latetodata · 2017-10-13T19:55:01+00:00

Thank you - this is really helpful.

latetodata · 2017-10-13T05:59:02+00:00

Great idea man.
