We’re talking about ~’94 here…

Not just gamma rays, cosmic rays too, although they filter the UV and are targeting nitrogen fluorescence and catch the cerenkov overlap. I’m sure there’s many people here who have worked on them.

I worked on HiRes/Telescope Array in Utah (Not CTA).


Not sure the thrust of your comment, but what is really going on is just novelty seeking to get a bit of a dopamine rush, which slides into creativity.

It all comes down to dopamine at the end of the day.


A SOTA model at 10k will be materially different, even the model is 6 months old.


I have been working on a cross platform way of sandboxing without a VM:

For one, I’ve been working on a generic sandbox environment

You should be easily able to hide/lock down files, network, and MCP tools from an agent and it shouldn’t be up to the agent.


> files, network, and MCP tools

Locking that down to nothing is trivial for any harness: just don't expose those to the LLM.

The tricky part is allowing access to those.


sure it’s not tricky. But everybody does it different and OpenAI couldn’t even be bothered to do it right when benchmarking their models


It’s been a very long time, but I read Alas, Babylon in middle school.

I remember aspects of their modern existence also being problematic (IIRC a house in florida with lots of windows doesn’t fare well without AC)


I’ve been formalizing behaviors to requirements and building more end to end tests to verify them. In reality, every requirement needs a verification element. Secondly, building traceability in your unit/integration tests helps “keep it honest” about how much it has built and verified.

Mostly I’m borrowing heavily from model based systems engineering and adapting it to some form of constitutional spec driven development.


My impression is that many of the indian engineering schools are some form of trade school and it shows. A lot of people are very good at churning out things, but they vastly prefer to use well defined tools for their trade and do a lot of work impassionately. Taking the creative path or even reflecting on failures isn’t natural.

On the other side of things, you have PhDs coming out of the US with too many ideas and the inability to deal with basics such as sprint planning and CI/CD.

Not sure if this will help, but I would love it for the Colleges of Sciences peoples instead of a postdoc.


Yeah you could go with just Number though, and then keep almost everything a BigInteger/BigDecimal under the covers (or dynamically choose the correct class)


You could, but it would be significantly worse. Number and JsonNumber are nearly equivalent in this context, except that JsonNumber has the major advantage of being in the same sealed hierarchy as the other JSON types, allowing for nice pattern-matching (and BigDecimal suffers from the same downside). So you gain nothing - you have to convert to the desired type anyway - and lose quite a bit.
