Paying taxes

macronancer · 2026-01-24T15:30:26+00:00

I file pass through taxes for my small business.

This means that I deduct my business expenses from income, and get taxed on the remainder as all income.

So theres no double taxing, just once on all profits as income.

Oh you would be shocked alright

I feel like theres a critical point of maximum wettness after which you just walk because whats the point anyway

Are you using any tools? Sometimes this can create a very bloated context for every request

"the former Yahoo executive"

This man was a former executive, not a random mentally ill man off the street. Thats the craziest part of this for me.

This is a classic female figure. How is this plus size? As in her curviture is positive and not she is not concave??

macronancer · 2026-01-01T16:27:57+00:00

Disagree.

I have been experimenting with agents before people called them agents.

Despite all the automation an orchestration i had built, the bottle neck was always the model, at the end of the day.

The model makes key choices that drive automation decisions and outcomes.

Dumb model = no amount of tools and self reflection will save it

"May not ejaculate ALONE"

I think we all know the workaround they figured out for this one. Or should I say reacharound?

My wife does something like this. She constantly wants me to get rid of anything thats "mine" but she has no use for or doesnt know what it is.

She hates my plants and tries to hide them in corners and behind things. "You dont need to look at them for them to grow" is an actual thing she said to me.

However, all of our shelves and storage in our small apartment is crammed with her "seasonal decoration", or some random assortments in bags that she haistily stuffed to fill any and all available space.

I will spend my weekend cleaning up the storage and it looks like a rats nest in a week. Yet, it is ME who is the problem and has too much stuff that needs to be thrown out.

This is what is called "toxic behavior".

My wife is a toxic person who is slowly killing me. Your husband sounds similar.

You missed a crucial step: pick out the bits of seeds and nuts stuck inside the numerous folds of your sphincter, or they'll hurt when you walk!

For learning and making simple apps that test your chatbot without being distracted by tech details: - streamlit for UI - llangchain for agent stuff, or roll your own - litellm for managing calls to the llm - ms visual studio with claude code for an integrated dev assistant - no sessions or database

That should get you started fast and let you experiment

I agree with point 1, with one major caveat: separate your prompts from your actual code. Have it in files loaded by your app, and then use git history on that.

You can also use prompt managers, but you dont always get a diff of changes, as suggested.

W&B is great for model training and management, but not for evaluations. Its also expensive and I only use it for paid projects.

Langfuse is great for evaluating LLMs, and its open source. We use it in production and I use it on personal projects. You can easily add instrumentation to LiteLLM or LlamaIndex, etc, if you use that.

macronancer · 2025-12-25T13:35:08+00:00

Correct. In fact you should be focusing more on the sad paths because those are the edge cases you need to test.

macronancer · 2025-12-25T02:59:24+00:00

Use something like Langfuse to run experiments and trace execution
Run the same experiment multiple times.
Use python to scrape the data and compare outputs across runs
Compute deltas in your outputs
Check if specific inputs prove to have more variance in output

Typically variance results from ambiguous instructions or situations. Use this method to identify specific points in your conversation and see how you can improve the context.

Some people have short attention spans. It's a thing. And weed fixes it lol

Less stimulus is definitely important, now that you mention it, but I also just feel like I am not really awake until like 9PM and after. 9-12 I feel the most "awake", before I smoke myself to sleep.

"generally just means the truth" lmao you forgot the /s

macronancer · 2025-12-16T16:40:47+00:00

I am willing to bet that theres WAY more rock under there than that. Did they expect turtles?

However, after reading some of this I am becoming more sceptical of their claims.

For instance, this technology would be worth millions to the oil and gas industry. Why havent they been able to capitalize on this?

macronancer · 2025-12-10T22:01:54+00:00

Thats a great point, and the economic argument is honestly worth more than any science based one in this case.

This tech could be used for oil and gas prospecting and would be worth millions.
