I haven't had much luck with skills being called appropriately. When I have a skill called "X doer", and then I write a prompt like "Open <file> and do X", it almost never loads up the skill. I have to rewrite the prompt as "Open <file> and do X using the X doer skill".

Which is basically exactly as much effort as what I was doing previously of having prewritten sub-prompts/agents in files and loading up the file each time I want to use it.

I don't think this is an issue with how I'm writing skills, because it includes skill like the Skill Creator from Anthropic.

Try adding a session hook that triggers on startup|resume|clear|compact to remind Claude about your custom skills.

Yes, sometimes skills are more reliable, but not always. That is the biggest culprit to me so far. The fact that you cannot reliably trust these LLMs to follow steps or instructions makes them unsuitable for my applications.

Another thing that helps is adding a session hook that triggers on startup|resume|clear|compact to remind Claude about your custom skills. Keeps things consistent, especially when you're using it for a long time without clearing context

Claude is pretty good at totally disregarding most of what’s in your CLAUDE.md, so I’m not optimistic. For example a project I work on gives it specific scripts to run when it runs automated tests, because the project is set up in a way that requires some special things to happen before tests will work correctly. I’ve never once seen it actually call those scripts on the first try. It always tries to run them using the typical command that doesn’t work with our setup, and I have to remind it the what correct thing to run is.

Instead of including all these instructions in CLAUDE.md, have you considered using custom Skills? I’ve implemented something similar, and Skills works really well. The only downside is that it may consume more tokens.

Can anyone recommend a specific, well-made, high-performance motherboard with loads of PCIe lanes and expansion slots, and sensible lane topology?

All the motherboards these days make me feel claustrophobic. My current workstation is pretty old, but feels like it had more expansion capability (relative to its time) than what's on the market today.

Check out the following for AM5 motherboards. It helped me a lot when I was in the market. Seems to be well maintained still:

I ended up getting ASRock X870E Taichi Lite. The main reason to get it was because it had 2 CPU x8 slots which are spaced perfectly for an Nvidia NVLink. And, they are Gen5 PCIe.

The author’s arguments explicitly don’t dispute plausibility. It accurately states that mere plausibility is a misleading basis for this report, but that the report provides nothing but plausibility, and thus is of low quality and dubious motivation.

Anthropic’s lack of any evidence for their claims doesn’t require any position on AI agent capability at all.

Think better.

What is the proper way to disclose evidence for this class of hacking?

The article doesn't talk about the implausibility of the the tool to do the stated task. It talks the report, and how it doesn't have any details to make us believe the tool did the task. Maybe the thing they are describing could happen. That doesn't mean we have any evidence that it did.

notpublic · a month ago

If you know what to look for, the report actually has quite a few details on how they did it. In fact, when the report came out, all it did was confirm my suspicions.

"A report was recently published by an AI-research company called Anthropic. They are the ones who notably created Claude, an AI-assistant for coding. Personally, I don’t use it but that is besides the point."

Not sure if the author has tried any other AI-assistants for coding. People who haven't tried coding AI assistant underestimates its capabilities (though unfortunately, those who use them overestimate what they can do too). Having used Claude for some time, I find the report's assertions quite plausible.

Something not mentioned in the article which has changed the way I interact with git repos (and the reason I will never not use LazyVim until something better comes along) is just how well the system plays with tmux floating panes.

I have it so that anytime I press ctrl-g in a git repo, I open a floating tmux pane in my current working directory. This might sound "whatever", but it means I don't have to actually be inside neovim or "switch" to the LazyGit UI. It just overlays it on top of whatever I'm doing at the moment in the terminal.

Makes for the most fluid, streamlined git experience ever if you primarily live in the terminal.

Indeed! I just found out about tmux display-popup recently.

  # ~/.tmux.conf 
  bind-key C-g display-popup -E -d "#{pane_current_path}" -xC -yC -w 80% -h 75% "lazygit"

Then, in tmux:

  ctrl-b ctrl-g will open a popup window with lazygit
  q to quit

How could one in theory, use this to train on a new language? Say for a hubby project; I have recordings of some old folks stories in my local dialect.

I'll bite. How do i train/make and/or use LoRA, or, separately, how do i fine-tune? I've been asking this for months, and no one has a decent answer. websearch on my end is seo/geo-spam, with no real instructions.

I know how to make an SD LoRA, and use it. I've known how to do that for 2 years. So what's the big secret about LLM LoRA?

I'm not sure if it contains exactly what you're looking for, but it includes several resources and notebooks related to fine-tuning LLMs (including LoRA) that I found useful.
