Really nice intuition, thank you.

In this blog post I'm reading their call for "control flow" as a generalization of exactly what your work illustrates so nicely.

The blog post doesn't say to me "we need to start encoding specifically opinionated conditional branching statements that guide the model" rather I'm hearing a call to realize the broader principles of control flow itself relevant for composing programs with LLMs.

I think your work "nudges" us in that direction.

Nice explanation, thank you.

So basically the kind of thing I'd usually be doing manually with small models, over and over again, you just automate that nudging and off they go.

Sometimes LLMs have seemed to me like "computer programs with inertia" and in that frame what your tool does is identify and reduce friction at key points so the wheels can keep spinning.

I don't believe in racial essentialism myself but I know someone who does

*ducks to dodge downvotes for not only making a bad dad joke but a political one*

Listen, I really like LLMs and diffusion models and machine learning and all this stuff, and I want to see it happen in a just and sustainable way. "AI" doesn't necessitate extreme waste. If anything, reasonable policy constraints would push "AI" to be even better.

The cynic in me sees this kind of outbreak as exactly the intention of the current US administration in gutting CDC funding and leaving the WHO.

It's misanthropic behavior, fueled by their big bunch of various essentialist inferiority/superiority complexes.

I'm in the US and have made a living writing open source for almost 10 years now, through ups and downs, but it's worked out.

It's also just good business sense. Companies that promote collaboration via open source are promoting the ecosystem that feeds their business.

I wouldn't take a job where the employer wasnt publishing permissively licensed code for all but the production bits. It's demoralizing for me and would stress my soul to the brink. I'd rather be broke.

People are afraid and taking it out on others

"AI" is a made up hype thing. It's just computers and computer programs. For real!

Maybe the reason this is so controversial is that people have stopped thinking about "AI" as a bunch of software, just like any other software. If that's you, stop while you still can, you've swallowed a nasty hook and your agency is on the line.

This is total flamebait

For those among us who voted for this administration: what's the plan? More doubling down?

Why not all that and more?

I don't see how regulating authorities could truly decipher the distinction between incompetence and pyramid hype fraud / shell company money laundering schemes at scale.

The twisted thing about it is that the surface logic of putting a hit on someone via prediction market involves betting that they'll stay alive. How innocuous looking.

What's the difference between penny stocks and prediction markets?

They're sustainable but require major cultural revolution to keep up.

Codex cli is open source

I agree but would add that gemma 4 is really nice at vibing though in ways qwen 3.6 could never.

Maybe it could be fun to hook them up via a2a protocol as left and right brain agents operating in tandem.

More fuel to get 27b running

People are guzzling the amygdala control juice these days

"This is what vibe coding is about to expose across businesses. The companies that think the story is about software are going to lose to the companies that understand the story is about judgment."

Maybe that's why I couldn't filter my stars by language

My sense is that we're at a tipping point where instruction following is getting good enough to disrupt these old habits

Yes, I've tried this passive approach too and didn't dig much further after that. I thought maybe they'd figured out something more intentional in the prompting to enable these kinds of approaches.

Did you consider incorporating ast-grep or gritql?

Congratulations, great work.
