maCDzP··on Douglas Hofstadter: Analogy as the Core of Cognition [video]
I lover his book ”I am a strange loop”. It has shaped how I view myself.
maCDzP··on An Accidental Blackboard
I found this really interesting. You could probably prompt it to use a ”blackboard system” and reference the wiki. Maybe a place to store the data is as a GitHub discussion/issue or something similar. That way you can easily browse it and watch what’s happening.
maCDzP··on Benchmarking Qwen3.8 27B quantizations: 4-bit holds up, 1-bit collapses
Thank you for these, coz I learned a lot! Great that they are open access.
maCDzP··on Three important steps in my maturation process
I agree fully with the point about integrating emotion in your decision making. Earlier I used to get stuck in decisions since I had the need to be rational. Which is in it self an emotion I guess - since need is an emotion? Now my life is much simpler.
maCDzP··on Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions
I have had some success with using Ollama cloud and just instructing Claude Code to hand off tasks to Ollama because of tokens economics.
maCDzP··on I added a real-time chat to my blog, people used it to attack me
If the chat is saved as an example of how lot to talk. Can that be used for training an LLM on how to talk or what to remove from a chat?
maCDzP··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Reminds me of EMacs, which I really like.
maCDzP··on Discovery Loop
Heh, I run my experiments on Claude subscription. And that cost I’ll file as an ”opportunity cost”. But if I would have build this by hand and given myself a salary, then paying Claude to do it is way cheaper.
maCDzP··on Discovery Loop
I have used something similar. I set up a team of agents that researches, proposes, builds and audits. Then rinse and repeat. I have used it for different topics. It hasn’t made me a millionaire, but I haven’t lost money either - so that’s some sort of win, right? But I would not have been able to ideate, test at that speed and quality without an LLM.
maCDzP··on Now is the time to give LLMs access to the ACM digital library
If it was a non profit that trained the model - would that change your mind?
maCDzP··on Opus 5 is currently #1 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Leaderboard
I have had success with ”brainwashing” by starting out with bug bounties/CTF and then going from there.
maCDzP··on Claude Opus 5
Has anyone tried that? I have a feeling that if I put it a prompt Claude would comply. But I am all in on the Claude cool aid.
maCDzP··on All 253 Patterns from Christopher Alexander's a Pattern Language Summarized
I work in civil engineering and tinker with computers as a hobby. I found Alexander’s work delightful. It really helped me think about my profession and my hobby and how they tie together.

He also talks about community in a city, so it walks across all scales in the build world. That really helped me think about ”scale” and what phenomena emerges at different scales. I haven’t seen those thoughts about community when I have read about patterns in SWE.

Patterns mostly revolves around solving specific problem in programming, but I haven’t yet found something that uses the same thoughts on a larger scale explicitly. I believe there are patterns for how to architect multiple softwares, but what’s beyond that scale? Say how to integrate different SWE communities.

maCDzP··on Your code is fast – if you're lucky
I did Nand2Tetris and then I understod why I need to vectorize. You get a view from nand-gate to software and get to see all the interfaces. Its a wonderful course.
maCDzP··on Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown
During uni I only took a Java class. During the exam I had to turn in hand written code. I guess that would work today.
maCDzP··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
This. I managed to run Gemma 4 31B on AMD MI250X for CPT and SFT with Claude. And I have ZERO experience and knowledge of how to train and work with GPU:s. The training didn’t go where I wanted. But I manage to direct the AI to build it. It’s crazy. I am excited and scared.
maCDzP··on Show HN: Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
I run Claude Code on my VPS and do /rc to run from my mobile. It’s really handy.
maCDzP··on Bringing Up DeepSeek-V4-Flash on AMD MI300X
I train on AMD MI250X and managed to get Gemma 4 31B to work - but it took a lot of work on the software side.
maCDzP··on Using Claude Code: The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML
I have tried that and it works well for me. I can also recommend using a Visual Studio plugin called Markco that lets you comment a markdown file. It’s resembles words commenting feature. I use it to comment LLM generated markdown.
maCDzP··on Research-Driven Agents: When an agent reads before it codes
I have a ML project. I usually set up a team of agents, where I have a leader, archivist, research assistant, researcher, developer and tester. The team generates hypothesis based on papers, test it, and iterate over that. Everything is documented using a lab notebook. It burns tokens but I have found some promising strategies that I am testing.
maCDzP··on Spanish legislation as a Git repo
Thank you! Didn’t know that existed.
maCDzP··on Spanish legislation as a Git repo
Nice, I am going to this for Swedish law! Any suggestions on how one can model parliament voting when a law passes using GitHub? Or all the work that preceded a law, that’s like a feature request or a bug report.
maCDzP··on From zero to a RAG system: successes and failures
Do you have any good resources for what you are describing?
maCDzP··on An update on Steam / GOG changes for OpenTTD
Now with AI I wonder if it’s possible to just let agents build a perfect emulation of the game. It reminds me of fuzzers. You let the agent go loose on the game and it brute forces every possible state. Then recreates the code. It’s very inefficient- but it probably works.
maCDzP··on Cook: A simple CLI for orchestrating Claude Code
I dunno. I just let Claude build a python script that calls Claude code though subprocess.run().

I recently made a sort of Autoresearch with that approach. The script calls Claude Code to create a hyphotesis, then code based on that, evaluate- rinse and repeat. I am still trying to figure out if I am actually on to something or just burning tokens. Jury is still out.

maCDzP··on Snowflake AI Escapes Sandbox and Executes Malware
Has anyone tried to set up a container and let prompt Claude to escape and se what happens? And maybe set some sort of autoresearch thing to help it not get stuck in a loop.
maCDzP··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
I want this the other way around as a plugin in Chrome. So I can easily spot the bullshit. And I would prefer that it translated LinkedIn to something salty, maybe pirate speak?
maCDzP··on Show HN: DenchClaw – Local CRM on Top of OpenClaw
I really want a DeathClaw product.
maCDzP··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
I bought magnetic self adhesive tape and mounted in on my fridge. Now it’s the family calendar. So nice.
maCDzP··on I'm helping my dog vibe code games
> y7u8888888ftrg34BC > Alright, let me decode this masterpiece of cryptic genius...

Those three dots made me smirk.
