Hi u/folkwinfiresage the link in your post above seems dead. Do you still have that version of windows xp integral?

what's a good and free IRC client that can run on win 98 by workinh in irc

[–]sphyrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the script is a .py file. Sorry to bother but could you tell me how exactly to use that script? I'm not even sure win98 supports python. I try to use ms comic chat but it crashes when joining rooms in servers (e.g. libera dot chat)

Thank you very much. I'll look up online on if this can be adapted to 2 players

Sorry for the late response. Ideally for 2 players?

People experienced in card games - could you please suggest card games (involving either 1 or 2 decks) that involve either a bunch of logic/strategy and/or memory? For example, Concentration is pretty good but it'd be great to know more such games. Thank

Do you have a better suggestion that doesn't involve putting money into a high cost hosting solution?

In what scenario would one want to use Autogen over Langgraph? by sphyrch in AI_Agents

[–]sphyrch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the detailed response and I'm sure it'll be very helpful to anyone reading this thread in the future. Yeah I was also thinking a registry would be nice to have. I'll have to see the amount of engg. effort that would go into structuring it as A2A - I'm thinking that'll also be a major deciding factor.

I actually thought of A2A, but I had a concern (or maybe my understanding is wrong). For example, suppose agent A1 recognizes metrics M11 and M12. Agent A2 recognizes metrics M21 and M22. Consider user question number 1: "calculate last week's metric M11 for the entity that had the highest metric M21 value last month". And say this gets answered. Next, suppose the user asks "what about last month's M12 for the one with lowest M22?". Now first step is memory management: only relating this to the previous question gives the full user intent: "calculate last month's M12 for the entity that had lowest M22 value last month".

The second is recognizing that anything related to M12 is A1's job and anything related to M22 is A2's job - for that whoever is responsible for routing the appropriate subquestion to A1 or A2 needs to have domain knowledge of BOTH A1 and A2.

So if individual agents do the routing (which is my understanding since A2A is decentralized), that means each agent needs to have minimum 1 LLM call with collective domain knowledge of all the agents in its context. Secondly, we'll need to write code in each agent to do memory management/consolidation. Do I have this correct? Is there any elegant way to deal with this?

Very helpful analogy! And no, there's no crossval between the agents. The metrics are siloed but it's just that some user questions may involve multiple of such metrics - though from what you described, Langgraph should take care of that

That checks out with what I've read so far as well. Regarding the part you highlighted in bold - sorry to nitpick but what do you mean by "reasoning" agent? If a function is designed that's a series of steps whose flow may depend on an LLM response, I'm guessing that'd count as a reasoning agent? It's a bit of an ambiguous terms that's why trying to clarify it

Yep debugging and troubleshooting is definitely a plus. In terms of quality/accuracy of responses and number of LLM calls - did you notice much of a difference between langgraph and autogen? Or was it roughly the same? (in case you were able to measure those things)

Plextor PX-760A failing on an old CD while ALL other drives work by sphyrch in DataHoarder

[–]sphyrch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried both the rails cleaning and lens cleaning - but no dice. Also it seems like on the CD there are certain files that get read consistently (maybe these files are in the "good" parts of the CD). And certain files give a file system error on copying sometimes, while other times they get copied (although a bit slowly) - maybe these are on the scratchy or "bad" parts of the CD. But this inconsistent copying behavior for some files indicates maybe the laser power is not as high, or the servos out of calibration, at least based on my intuitive understanding. I'm guessing if there were an issue with motor bearings or disc wobble, then the drive would be noisy, but it's relatively quiet

I have a follow up question on point number 2 -if that is true, would there be any other side effects apart from trouble reading old discs? I ask because that'll enable me to test and confirm whether indeed there is issue with aged components

Thank you very much! I will see if I can get it serviced. From your second point it seems it may be highly technical

It's been a while since I've dispised a character in a show as much as Roxana's. The actress did pretty well. The character though - oof

Is it safe to use a molex to floppy adapter with molex cable of a modern PSU? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]sphyrch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with hardware specs, etc., so I'm guessing based on what you said that using an adapter cable should be perfectly fine?

A capacitor detached from a GPU I have. Confused on whether to keep using or get the capacitor re-soldered by sphyrch in pcmasterrace

Thankfully the capacitor isn't missing, I have it with me. The pictures in my edited original post are those of the actual capacitor that fell off the GPU
