In the novel "The Mountain in the Sea" (great read, very pertinent as well for the discussion of AGI and what is consciousness), an "abglanz" is like a digital identity shield that hides a person's face behind a shifting weird pattern of colours. I wonder how far off we are from everyone just retreating into higher privacy settings and opt out.
Well, there's essentially two major ways to use these models: Pair programming or fully autonomous fire-and-forget code generation. The second strategy needs essentially zero input, so the number of tokens you can blow is practically only limited by API speed.
Share the resulting code from any one of those please? I've tried so many times to find a setup that facilitates parallel work + high quality results, but it's just impossible regardless of harness or model. Leave the agents alone for too long, and the entire thing just balloons out of control, and next you know you're sitting there with half a million LOC where 80% isn't even needed.
It's not my main model (that would be Fable 5.1 Extra) but it's been doing agent-driven search and optimisation of a cross-trading ranking model (it's for work).
I would suggest you to hook fable or 5.6 to check it regularly and its work because it gets lost easily on stuff it was not trained on. I'm doing some custom inference engine optimization and it's a workhorse but it can easily lose its way and if you don't recheck it you will get wrong answers in the end.
Kind of feels like this applies to every single model, from Astra to Qwen, they all eventually lose track of the plot unless you feed it some human's input that can steer them right every now and then. The only difference is how often you need to do so, and also how often you want to do so heavily influences how good quality the results will be.
you are not false, but there is still difference. its just that the better models are correct more of the time and will better validate its own steps. glm sometimes will understand the plan start implementing and then forget part of it and then say it finished. or then take a wrong turn somewhere and not correct. but they will all happily proclaim they are correct till you question it.
People wear wedding rings but take them off for pull up bars and so on. But a fitness tracking device you need to take off to... Do some fitness exercises... Is not a smart idea in my book.
I'd question the utility of the data from a ring for weightlifting, cardio sure but just lifting weights there's not a huge need to track your heart rate, you're not moving a lot for steps, etc.
Of course it does but it's barely relevant to the goals of the exercise though so tracking it is minimally useful beyond the vague curiosity of cataloging and measuring every moment.
If you make program with a bunch of different exercises,
and are modifying your program a lot, it can be a pain to keep track
of what your next exercise should be.
If you are automatically tracking reps, it can just announce whatever the next thing in your program is, and start rest timers automatically...
It's not really about tracking reps as much as tracking where you are in a program that it is useful for...
I use the Pump Club app when lifting, it has the day's programme to follow: I simply enter the reps after each exercise.
It never occurred to me that I'd want to automatically track reps. I mean, it could be kinda useful, but I'm also taking 45 to 60 seconds cool-down between exercises anyway, so it's not like it gets in the way.
That also moves the app onto the next exercise in the programme. It's manual, but it's not intrusive and can't be wrong, like a fitness tracker, that definitely can be. So shrug, just personally, auto-tracking reps isn't something I need and wouldn't be a big selling point for a band/watch over a ring.
I wasn't wading into the watch/ring debate, never used a ring just a watch. Was just saying while heart rate data might not be the most useful. There might be uses for other sensors and reasons to replace the ring with a watch while lifting...
If you're modifying your program a lot a ring isn't going to help you remember your rep count for that day either. Yes a watch can display that but we're talking about rings here that can't and could only count reps and there's no vibration or speaker on the ring to notify you so you'd need your phone there anyways and could just look at it at the start of the set and count.
I wasn't really talking about just rings, the comment I was replying to was talking about heart rate sensors. I'm saying it's still worthwhile replacing your ring with a watch.
Even if it is just for swiping or pressing buttons to switch between exercises in your program. But there are other uses for accelerometers.
If you constrain the device to ‘fitness tracker” and not lifestyle/sleep/health/illness/fitness telemetry, sure.
I wear an Oura Ring for the complete suite of telemetry, not just for tracking workouts.
I also lift, I’ll take the ring off for heavy lifts, and keep it on for every other exercise (unless I feel there’s a risk that the ring could get caught on the equipment, in which case I’ll take it off for those reps too). Granted this is in my home gym, so there’s no inconvenience to me doing this.
I’ll rest between exercises and that’s when I make the call to keep the ring on or not [for the subsequent exercise].
I still get most of the insights and the Oura ring app lets me to tell it that I was doing strength training, which allows it to guesstimate calorie usage based on duration.
Of course that’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for people who are interested in health metrics without being obsessed with them (which is just probably a better idea unless you’re a pro athlete).
The workout tracking is kinda the least interesting aspect for me. It’s more about the long term trends of activity, sleep, heart rate, stress, etc.
Also, it’s worth saying, I went with a ring rather than a watch or a band because I like to wear a real watch.
An "expanded" Schengen Area that crosses the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and brings Canada, Australia (and Japan, maybe?) into the fold would be an incredible thing. I'm all for it.
It would be nice, but it's too high a bar to set, as the visa policies differ significantly between the three.
There is a real danger the Schengen agreement itself will collapse in the upcoming years - Germany is already ignoring both the Schengen agreement and its own courts by keeping border controls.
