Bhai, where can I find this data?

Science is not about the secrets of nature or even about truths. Science is simply the method we use to try and postulate a minimum set of assumptions that can explain, through a straightforward logical derivation, the existence of many phenomena of nature. - Eliyahu Goldratt, The Goal

In 1953 the essential English word list had goat, fork, soap and bake on it. The 2023 version dropped those and added criteria, hypothesis, evaluate. We are building the language for building understanding. pudding.cool/2026/07/esse...

I spend considerable time using it personally. But you are right. The evaluation has to be done systematically rather than relying on hunch.

Agreed. Actually the model of choice was deepseek v4 flash. I used sonnet as a benchmark because I have been using it for the same thing with their own harness using an MCP server. So I already knew what it was capable of. It was my “safe” model.

सही कह रहे हैं भाई ये इशू मेरे code में था मैं tool use का data trim कर दे रहा था जिससे judge model को पूरा data ही नहीं दिख रहा था और उसका judgement गड़बड़ हो रहा था मैंने जब manually study किया तो यह दिखा उसे बाद में fix किया

I’ll need your help with that. What ways can this be optimised? You can create issues/PRs as well.

2. This is where we’ll need more assistance. I haven’t studied other darshans in that depth as I’ve studied Madhyasth Darshan and so people with that background would be needed to develop and test.

For 3, currently it’s System Prompt + RAG for Madhyasth Darshan and others are still under development.

Thank you Bhai. The code is open-source. github.com/achalagrawal... So you can see how it’s really working. Also, contribute to it. E.g. we are currently using Sonnet 5 but I feel similar quality can be achieved with Deepseek v4 Flash or Pro. But for that we’ll need to run evals, etc.

What is ‘work’? Can planning/thinking be seen as ‘work’ or only when I move something after that thinking would be called ‘work’?

That’s what I was thinking!

Thank you bringing this up bhai. I'm always making a choice when I have a thought: A. I try to write it vanilla, and end up not writing it at all. B. Even though it has the smell of an LLM, I do write out the thought. The ones where I chose (A)... didn't make it through. :-D

The four points in the diagram convey very well as to how this existence works together as a system. It’s profound and yet is so simple. That’s what I felt to be beautiful. The image is visually pretty too, btw.

This is a beautiful way of seeing the existence. 👌🏼👌🏼

What are human beings really meant to do then?

Computers are designed to perform simple, repetitive tasks. As soon as you have humans doing repetitive tasks on behalf of computers, all the computers get together late at night and laugh at you.

So, you have a choice: Do you want to try to change the world so it doesn't disturb your Samskaras, or are you willing to go through this process of purification? Don't make decisions based on stimulated blockages. Learn to be centered enough to just watch this stuff come up.
Once you sit deeply enough inside to stop fighting the stored energy patterns, they'll come up constantly and pass right through you.

It hasn’t become my own experience yet, but in theory, each type of order has it’s own capabilities and roles. Material order exists. Each You can’t create or destroy it. It rearranges to form different types of materials. (Ran out of word-limit) Ideas on how to write a long reply?

How do we define better? And do we really need to define better? 🤔 If each is doing their own role, how do we compare them?
