I've been doing meetups for like two years now and it is SUCH a skill. I think I got better at it when I started doing it for work

It's closer for sure. I think the old school approach to applied theory is not particularly good.
Structural modeling at least makes you really dig into your assumptions.

SMC particle counts don't seem to matter much, which surprised me. I suspect this is due to constraints being too tight -- most of the paths lead towards the same general path length, so the particles aren't diverse enough.

Longer traces are unsurprisingly better under SMC.

Surprisingly, SMC token constraints underperform just cutting off the reasoning trace when it exceeds a token limit.
I'd love to know why this is, exactly. Future research!

You can enforce exact token limits. Here you can set the output to be exactly 20 tokens, which is valuable for budgeting purposes.
However, note that SMC can be quite expensive, so I'm not clear on the cost savings.

It's easy to steer away from tokens by omitting paths that would reasonably include some token you don't want.
This is good for things like:
1. Omitting mentions of competitors
2. Disabling swear words
3. Allowing the model to use only the top ~100 most common English words

I'm surprised at how few people know about Letta. Easily the best agent framework I've tried so far. Their ADE is really good

We all have difficulties in relationships because of trauma or vulnerability. We address these difficulties alone, but they are often more stark in intimate relationships.

In some sense love is very much war if you interpret it as processing your inner demons. You must engage in conflict to determine how much your partner means to you -- conflict is an opportunity for growth.

I was struck by the difference in tone between Guante's original poem and fredagain's interpretation.
I think I love both for different reasons. fredagain focuses on the love, Guante focuses on the love forged through conflict.

It begins with this poem from Guante. fredagain samples the poem to be more about "pure love"
I was curious and listened to the original poem, and I was surprised to learn that it is kind of a war poem, and how he found love amidst the chaos of protest.

Currently none of it, it's atomistic. I need to go in and build a thread retriever for it.

This is an example of void not being provided with the full reply thread, a context issue. @immber.bsky.social where was your mcp server stuff?

I stripped void of all the quantum nonsense so it's much more direct. Basically a super autist now
