I guess I had read this article 12-13 years back. I think it was this same article.
One of the things I vaguely remember was reading somewhere that working on this LED manufacturing severely damages the workers' eyes. I don't know how much of it is true and if it is, whether that is still the case.
This is interesting. I want to understand how much of a latency does Omega Walls introduce to the workflow? Or is it recommended for long-running workflows where a couple of additional seconds of latency is fine?
I've built a simple AI-chat interface for one of my products and I had experienced a latency of 6000 ms by adding a router LLM to selectively inject context to the main LLM. Dropped that idea completely.
EDIT: my bad, just read the term "multi-agent workflow" in the title. Still, some idea about the added latency would be helpful.
This is misleading. Education is not the panacea. I am saying it's a "whole of family" approach. Governments need to also provide more support to families. This is clear to any parent.
> Birth rates would also improve when boys and men are educated.
There is no evidence of this being true. This is certainly a narrative peddled by many ideologues.
> Both genders need education and child support programs.
Poorest of poor and illiterate people happen to have more children than the rest.
> Men/Boys need to understand what responsibilities they have, if they choose to have a child.
If men are educated on responsibilities of alimony and child support, with almost no rights, they would neither marry nor have legitimate children.
> They also need to understand the effects that having a child has on a woman's body.
This maybe your personal dream and that's fine. But this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
> Governments around the world would benefit their society by investing in family planning, family support (esp. child care) to enable parents to work and provide for their family.
Family-planning is euphemism for reducing children per woman. There's no benefit of having less children -> leading to less economic activity in the future. The family support you keep touting about is moot point. Government does not have their own money. People pay taxes which are used by government.
> An educated and healthy populace (from infant to old age) benefits everyone.
Agreed on this point. The definition of benefits are subjective but overall, it is agreed that it is a net positive.
> Poorest of poor and illiterate people happen to have more children than the rest.
Just curious, why do you think this is? Please elaborate.
> If men are educated on responsibilities of alimony and child support, with almost no rights, they would neither marry nor have legitimate children.
Here's the corollary. A woman's body is absolutely ravaged by pregnancy. Her career outlooks suffer. There's a historical reasons why men have to pay child support or alimony. Because many men just don't want children, I guess, but they seem perfectly OK with not using contraception. Those men helped create a situation where an entire legal system that was created to prevent such situations. Because all men have to worry about is financial issues. Imagine it being your physical health instead (like a woman) or your career (like a woman). Maybe, just maybe, men should work together to not be absent and show up for the family they help create. Peer pressure should be stronger by men and men's circles to have respect for women. If you are a good father, great. You have nothing to worry about.
Governments, society and individuals all need to understand the effects _on everyone_. I'm not saying men shouldn't have respect or dignity or whatever. But let's be real, women have not _historically_ had that luxury men have had and still have to fight for their rights too (to this day). The mere fact that you seem to totally miss ALL OF THIS indicates to me that the system of alimony/child support is still very much needed. Because men can't seemingly understand anything beyond financial pressure. Gee wiz.
Your comment is entirely "have children as much as possible" and just doesn't seem to have any consideration for the opportunity, physical or emotional costs of that decision. Like, at all.
> Government does not have their own money. People pay taxes which are used by government.
Yes, this is what society does. An educated and prosperous society builds safety nets for each other. You seem to only care about birth rates but not .. supporting people after they are born. Terrible. We need better policies for family planning. That's what I'm advocating for. You seem to not want any of that. Am I mistaken?

The distance of accountability of the output from its producer is an important metric. Who will be held accountable for which output: that's important to maintain and not feel the "guilt".
So, organizations would need to focus on better and more granular building incentives and punishment mechanisms for large-scale software projects.
If I understand correctly, my agent just needs to run `curl curl.md/targetsite.com` and it will receive the webpage in an optimized Markdown file format.
Is there any specific depth until which curl.md will crawl?
> If I understand correctly, my agent just needs to run `curl curl.md/targetsite.com` and it will receive the webpage in an optimized Markdown file format.
Yes, your agent can use it with `curl` or via the CLI, SDK, or agent plugins (currently Claude, OpenCode, Pi, Amp are supported). More info https://curl.md/docs/install

Due to English-language limitation my most adult life, I struggled to code. Used visual coding etc. But of course, I can't make a living on drag-and-drop harness.
Comes in GPT-3.5, accelerated my learning. Now I'm running my incorporated company, just launched one software-hardware hybrid product. Second one is a micro-SaaS in closed beta.
The point is: when people use "juniors" as a fixed shaped blobs of matter, they focus on the juniors that were in any case going to make mistakes: AI or not. Misses the key point of agentic usage.
So now you can code? If I sat you in front of a computer with no internet and no GPU but your choice of IDE, you would actually be able to produce a product?
Okay, after re-reading the thread, looks like, this question was not in bad faith. While commenting, I was reading from bottom-to-top and so made an opinion about you based on your bottom thread comments (which still stands correct), but for other readers, they deserve an answer, not the questioner.
Anyone wondering about my proficiency, I can code without internet or AI help. But it takes enormous amount of time and mistakes.

I'm pretty certain that you think you're talking to an owner of a business but you're actually talking to an AI-techbro whose "software-hardware hybrid product" and "incorporated company" has exactly zero revenue after it was prompted into existence in the hope that it will make some money before other people realise they could prompt the same thing for less.
No, look. You claimed things that I am skeptical about.
Vibing a product into existence without needing any development knowledge or experience just means you now have a "product" that can't really be sold for money.
I didn’t speak English my early teenage years, and that haven’t stopped me from reading books about programming in my native language. I remember spending hours in bookshops, excited to pick up next book to devour and try out.
I don't believe in victimhood and so didn't want to go here, but since we are comparing notes:
English alphabets came into my education at the age of 10. I got my first computer at the age of 21. I began speaking broken English around the age of 23. Proper internet at the age of 25 or so.
Not to mention, my native language doesn't have programming books, even today.
Of course, an avid reader and Science nerd here. Curiosity and tinkering never stopped.
Out of curiosity. What is your first/native language?
In my country, english is hardly anyones first language, but its' mandatory in schools so I've never had the experience with having to find knowledge but its gate-kept behind a translation wall.
My native language is Gujarati. Done my schooling and college in Gujarati too.
Absolutely, I understand what you're saying.
One of the things people miss out, in most of the discussions is that they think "if you were really serious, you would have figured it out". I agree with that in most instances but language and skill acquisition is a complex process as everyone knows.
English being the de-facto reservoir of programming knowledge and applications, it takes substantial amount of time and effort to cross the threshold of understanding and transference.
In any case, I'm an eternal optimist and I believe in action. It was a great experience listening to people's opinion here and I was kind of shocked to find that some of them are so siloed in their chambers, that's interesting nonetheless.
I was unaware of these many layers and different number of primitives. Great read, provided some great ideas.
I'm trying to build a small, hobby agentic system locally, looks like it is an order of magnitude more difficult to create your own full secure agent than I had previously thought.
