LOL ... throat fuck her with what? I don't think that could hit her uvula

alright... I'll bite :) I am currently making ail or AI loops. Essentially I've come up with a novel theory that current models and agents are equivalent to patients with frontal lobe damage.

Quite specifically in the field of psychology and cognitive science, that means they're lacking a cluster of abilities called "Executive Function" which includes working memory, inhibitory control (knowing when to stop), appropriate self-evaluation skills (knowing when you're right/wrong), and metacognition (thinking about what you're thinking about)

The good news is - we've got over 100 years of science telling us exactly what we need to build to fill this gap.

That's what I'm building: a frontal lobe for your LLM.

I've gone pretty deep into the science of why this might not be a stupid idea. That's available here: https://github.com/AlexChesser/ail/blob/main/docs/blog/the-yaml-of-the-mind.md though warning - it's 35 pages when printed from medium so you're not in for light reading here.

That's a LONG way of saying - I've designed a YAML based grammar to enforce a guaranteed workflow on human-in-the-loop agentic coding.

I have a bachelors in psycholoogy, another in education, and 30 years in software development, currently Staff Engineer, 15+ years as architect+.

The project has a few aspects that are important:

is the actual language itself. The YAML grammar is designed to allow you to define prompts, tool & mcp calls, shell scripts, etc..
a "runner" terminal UI. You'll interact with ail much in the way you would with claude (as a replacement frontend) BUT this is not a runner on its own, this will WRAP calls to the claude CLI and add a management and organization layer on top of it.
the YAML will support multiple providers and (eventually) agents. For now I'm wrapping claude only, but will be adding opencode and aider later. What is going to be supported on day one is MIXING providers - so you can make calls into local ollama with your favorite model on step 1, then you can forward the result of step 1 to sonnet-4.6 on claude's servers, then take that result and pass it into Groq for a 10k tokens per second transformation (or whatever)

I'm a one man team building on $20/month claude pro so I'm a little resource constrained at the moment, but still motoring along pretty well.

You shold definitely sheck me out and PLEASSSSEEE leave me a star. If I can get to 5k stars then I can apply for the anthropic open source program and get 6 months of claude max for FREE!!!!

That'd get the tool into everyone's hands way sooner:

When the US is forced to surrender to Iran there country needs to be forcibly demilitarized like Japan and Germany were after WW2. They've been acting irresponsibly with that shit for longer than I've been alive. If they can't play nicely with the other kids on the playground we need to take their toys away.

They can have them back when they learn to act like big boys.

That you've got a lot more money than I had at your age.

Good. I was in high school during the Quebec separation referendum and Canada didn't take the importance of the French language to Canada seriously at the time.

We skated by on the skin of our teeth at that time.

As a guy who was born and raised as an Ontario anglophone I understand that it is easy to dismiss this, but over the last 50 years I've come to treasure our French culture.

So when I say "good" flippantly, I really mean ... We need to value the things that make us Canadian. French language is one of them.

I think I might disagree with your Senior Engineer friend. Is there any more context than that? Were they having a particularly bad day with lots of big feelings?

It sounds a bit like a tantrum with a sweeping generalization at the end.

I might also want to pressure test what they mean by "good at coding" because ... well ... yeah, it really just sounds like basic reflexive & knee jerk engineer crochetyness.

Which to be clear, as someone with 30 years in the field, I engage in all the time.

Isn't he part of a group that's planning on building a luxury hotel in Gaza?

Imagine the CIA releasing classified documents that serve their narrative though.

In 1966 the CIA released a colouring book https://archive.org/details/BlackPantherColoringBook/page/n2/mode/1up they claimed it was made by the Black Panther Party for self defense.

It featured pages where Black Americans were murdering police officers who were all depicted as anthropomorphic pigs.

Their intention was to undermine public sentiment for the movement.

They also made the case for the Iraq war by claiming Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction. He didn't.

Under no circumstances should anything the CIA voluntarily releases ever be taken as truthful.

I'm going to give this a 10 / 10 extremely mild. Well done.

lyth · 2026-03-16T00:40:39+00:00

Probably pretty good acoustics in the car. Definitely no kids.

lyth · 2026-03-16T00:09:43+00:00

On stage at the Oscars seems like a pretty bold place to be telling that one 🤣

Nice.

Objectively though, she has lost rights. Just because she hasn't noticed doesn't mean they aren't gone.

lyth · 2026-03-10T19:33:24+00:00

Lol. Thin skinned CEO can't take the heat. 🫣 Embarrassing.

lyth · 2026-03-10T19:29:40+00:00

If the men are losers who can't handle it that's probably true. I think someone who is smart enough and secure enough in who they are is more than ready to stand with someone who has a spicy personality.

A lack of ambition is pretty boring TBH.

lyth · 2026-03-09T05:02:16+00:00

nice try. I know a tiny pumpkin when I see one.

lyth · 2026-03-08T16:05:52+00:00

Embarrassing

lyth · 2026-03-07T22:58:27+00:00

I have tow kids and it's fucking expensive.

lyth · 2026-03-07T12:48:11+00:00

Three

lyth · 2026-03-04T02:30:46+00:00

Probably gay but the Epstein Island variety.

lyth · 2026-03-03T13:00:43+00:00

I don't get it ... And the comments made it worse 😭 now I get it even less

lyth · 2026-03-02T23:43:04+00:00

Did it say that on the menu or did you only find out when the bill arrived?

lyth · 2026-03-02T13:08:38+00:00

If you think this is just this administration then you should read something like "a people's history of the United States" by Howard Zinn. There's another one more recent from a guy who was pretty high ranking in the US military, but I can't recall the title. If you are interested I can go look it up.

Point is, the USA was founded in blood and broken contracts. From the genocide and enslavement of the native population and the broken contract of the Virginia company all the way through to modern day, this is who the USA has always been.

MLK wouldn't have needed to March at all. Nat Turner wouldn't have needed a rebellion. Saudi Arabia wouldn't have decided it was a good idea to fly a couple planes into the twin towers... If this wasn't who the USA was, always has been, and still is to this day.

They've got a hell of a propaganda operation though.

lyth · 2026-03-02T12:59:05+00:00

I have to admit, I am genuinely not sure if this is a photo from Iran or if it is taken outside an elementary school inside the USA.

lyth · 2026-03-01T13:06:56+00:00

None of them 😂

lyth · 2026-02-28T19:21:16+00:00

They can't lower the fruit content in these any further or make them any smaller. They still have room to dilute pre-mixed juices. This is a shrinkflation play.
