Nice, I am not good enough engineer to be in the weights

What is your approach for reducing token usage and is it different than rtk?

That’s the fair point. The rtk promotional posts point to 60-90% tokens savings and there is no mention how they perform accuracy wise. The commenter below did great job pointing to resource showing caveman, rtk saving just couple bucks on $926 bill. Thanks, Llyoyd Christmas for linking to useful substack

I have to say I made a similiar mistake with trusting semantic search is the next big thing. My opinion shifted, but it made sense for me for too long

Nope, I am doing my master thesis on finetuning llms at 36, so I am into this stuff, but it’s been very weird lately. I’ve been self-taught dev and I definitely was missing computer science concepts so excited to fill the gaps, although the timing wasn’t perfect.

Good conversation! Great pushback against my arguments. That’s what I signed on with hacker news and missing that spirit recently

oh, I appreciate this list even more than the one posted. It has so many less known websites that no llm gonna suggest

appreciate the engineering effort and skin in the game. I might try on macos today as the author of issue.

Hey, author here, I am skeptical of implementation starting from Rust Token Killer and looking to monetize on Rust love by other developers.

Concept is fine to me and I believe we should optimize, but a repo that will handle all tools sounds like Sisyphus rolling a rock up the hill.

ok, this one is all mine. So that's even more hurtful as this is 100% me

no, it doesn't upset me. I am open for discussion, there might be things I miss and don't understand. I am just trying to get why it's been pushed so hard lately and if the benefits are really there. Sorry, if I sounded upset to you, but I am trying to be really civil and just genereally curious

I was wondering if that impacts the accuracy, obviously the rtk output wasn't in the training dataset, but maybe it doesn't matter at the end

Author of the text here. I will be honest with why I wrote it, the rtk ai looks very odd to me as software engineer, the number of stars, no mention of accuracy and how management is pushing that stuff to optimize costs. Now people are wrapping every possible command in rtk and trying to handle all major possible commands and decide which output you should get.

I was looking through the issues as investigation. Some issues that caught my attention are looking quite bad https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk/issues/2494 https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk/issues/2462 https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk/issues/2395

so how do you justify it's usage if it's not saving much and the work feels similiar. They have 664 issues open and some of them are quite funny, the tools are called and return success even though they aren't even installed.

My take is that handling so many versions and so many different tools shouldn't be the work of any single repo. The responsibility should be either on coding agent to compress or best case scenario people who are responsible for cli tool

I might have picked better title, but they are literally called rtk https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk

and it stands for Rust Token Killer

that would make more sense, trimming context with subagents sounds like an overkill

I have raycast shortcut for fix grammar, it might done more damage than adding a, an, the or changing tenses.

thank you, author here. I will stay civil here and focus on the rtk as that was the goal of article.

So do you think rtk cli is ai slop? I had some suspicions looking at their repo and number of issues and their style. The prettier issue with running successfully while binary wasn't even installed was quite entertaining

I am the author the text.

What do you mean by aggresive context management with subagents? Would you add a lopp that would trim the context?

Both of those tasks seem even more difficult

Paul has to update to trillion dollars now

Andrei Karpathy coined it.You can talk to him, but he is probably too busy with the big leagues now.

This is an online joke I found on X, please don’t buy into more agent madness

things that people in Ruby community don't like to hear for $1000

Spring Boot is very similiar to Rails. That's what was surprising to me, when I was forced to use it at uni. The annotations magic brings all the PTSD of method missing from Ruby

The worst part is communicating to the Ruby on Rails community that they have a problem with DX or that Rails is not really the top choice anymore for new startups. It's a cult of DHH. I am still mostly part of the Rails ghetto; it's paying my bills, but after gaining more experience during my computer science master's degree with statically typed languages, I clearly see the pitfalls of Ruby.

People often miss the difference between simple and easy. Yes, Ruby is easy, but it's not simple, and it will make you suffer a lot if you get to a complex app. The debugging sessions in Rails are a nightmare. Meanwhile Ruby community is acting like religion, it's almost impossible to convert people from Ruby to other languages, they don't see the language as tool, but as part of their identity

According to this thread on LinkedIn and comment by Pragmatic Engineer Gergely Orosz.

Figma stack is: > plain Ruby, plus Sinatra and ActiveRecord

With weird sadness I have to say, we are getting targeted with new kind of marketing. It doesn’t look like it was just technical decision. If anyone was following what was going on X, it was crazy with amount of content about it.

I couldn’t believe before with all fearmongering being marketing, but I am coming to conclusion it is. It’s hard to get any signal over noise in attention economy. They know what they are doing and it’s Deja Vu of crypto, but now we are targets with rage baits, guerilla marketing, buzz

Hantavirus inspired?

Thanks and congratulations on not getting bingo

It suppose to work again based on todays news
