A paper from Anthropic describing persona vectors and their applications to monitoring and controlling model behavior

At Uber, back-end service efficiency directly influences operational costs and user experience. In March 2024 alone, the top 10 Go services accounted for more than multi-million dollars in compute spend alone —an unsustainable amount that underscored the need for systematic performance tuning. Traditionally, optimizing Go services has required deep expertise and significant manual effort. Profiling, benchmarking, and analyzing code could take days or even weeks. Performance tuning is prohibitively expensive and non-trivial for most teams. PerfInsights was born as an Uber Hackdayz 2024 finalist and has since evolved into a production-ready system that automatically detects performance antipatterns in Go services. It uses runtime CPU and memory profiles with GenAI-powered static analysis to pinpoint expensive hotpath functions and recommend optimizations.

While test-time reasoning enables language models to tackle complex tasks, searching or planning in natural language can be slow, costly, and error-prone. But even when LMs struggle to emulate the pre...

Damien Guard nerd sniped me and and other folks wanted cold hard proof that it is now cheap, easy and possible to rewrite software or clone existing "source available" businesses (see bottom of post). So, let's get cracking by creating a toy application by sending this prompt to the LLM. Create a sales tax calculator in C Food is taxed at 10% Personal Hygine is at 0% Everything else 25% Which creates #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> // Tax rates #define FOOD_TAX 0.1
