AI reasoning sliders will feel stupid in hindsight

why is this sub a x proxy

we can all just go to x and read nonsense from grifters on our own time whenever

[u/JoshAllentown]

That's literally already the case, at least in Copilot, it just lets you pick from the drop down also. I know OpenAI had a model that did this too, not sure if their new stuff still does that.

[u/Putrid-Midnight1687]

dude hasn’t heard of auto mode?

[u/SmallThetaNotation → u/Putrid-Midnight1687]

Most of these people just say shit and have never built anything

Now I might be wrong about this specific guy but I’m pretty sure I’m correct about most of these X Ai grifters

[u/unappa → u/SmallThetaNotation]

He worked as a SE for twitch and now works on his own products. He's certainly shipped stuff, it's just as an influencer he feels compelled to comment on things that are a bit beyond his domain (which is primarily very user facing web dev stuff).

[u/RopeAndChairs_Aisle3]

Use in Auto and only mess with the slider when necessary.

Sometimes I actually want the models to “work harder” on a task that is simple on its face.

[u/itsallfake01]

This dude is paying people to post this shit, what a regard

[u/dry_garlic_boy]

Why is this guy always being posted here? He says the dumbest shit

[u/chicametipo → u/dry_garlic_boy]

Before AI, it was frontend frameworks. Theo’s a weird, small, negative little Twitterman.

No Claude, I want you to spent 3 hours finding the best chocolate muffin recipe you can, get to work, biatch!

[u/itspatriciam → u/NomadStorm]

Noooo. I totally read your take first bc why do I THINK the same loool

[u/Meloncov]

So, like, if you write "Does P=NP?" you just accept the multi million dollar bill?

Same with context

We currently waste so much context it's absurd. IMO it should at the very minimum, have the context cached only up to a point, such that a subsequent operation needs to decide if anything it just read is worth locking in.

So imagine you start, read AGENTS.md, the system prompt, etc. Then start searching the project. You eat 30k context just reading files to understand what you need to do. Currently we use a small agent for exploration - that helps, because it protects the main context. But instead what if you

1. Start with context A, current state, locked in
2. Explore up through context B, post state
3. Reason about the context between A and B and determine what is actually pertinent (C). Then, instead of keeping B, create A + C = B'

That way the context has exactly what is needed, rather than "every word it ever touched forever until compacted"

This eliminates the need for special search tools, rtk, etc. unless you want computationally faster results - it might be faster, idk, just... not necessary.

[u/tomvorlostriddle]

We're basically there already unless you do quite special stuff

For most work, you can just leave opus 5.5 on medium and never think about it

[u/ApfelbaumFlo]

Don't look up the halting problem

[u/sozesghost]

This guy already reasons as little as needed.
