need some help, the parenting books didn't prepare me for this one: what do I do when my kid wakes up at 2 am to tell me that the reason you sneeze is because there's dust or pollen in your nose?

Tonight I made a pizza flavored bean skillet so my kids would get some nutrients. I also made bread because you gotta have something to dip in the skillet. Anyway they ate a whole loaf of bread and I was the only one who had beans.

So I figured out that you can use tmux send-keys to have an agent backdoor into an interactive session. This is super nice if you want to avoid reloading data on every turn and also reduces the amount of scrap scripts they pile up. Will write a short blog post soon.

asking an LLM, that thinks in tokens, how many letters are in "strawberry" is like asking a person on the street, who thinks mainly in words, how many ASCII values in "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" are prime numbers i won't answer that question correctly without tools (pen and paper?) either

The thing I'm learning about agent-based development is that you need to do something like: - Let it implement the thing - Let a new agent review the thing - Let another new agent review it again - Repeat until it's happy with it's work - Finally, look at it yourself

Grant me the serenity to accept the problems where I cannot offload my understanding, courage to let the LLM go burrrr on the problems where I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

Tyler Burch @tylerjamesburch.com · 14/05/2026

The more I do it, the more it feels like there's some fundamental misalignment between LLMs and statistical work. Maybe it's over-abstraction leading to making it harder to turn knobs and experiment? Maybe the harnesses are oriented toward shipping code and not sitting on a problem?

In case you were wondering how this performed, near-perfect temps meant no weather effect, leaving just the random-walk estimate. Top-3 average was 2:02:30, ~0.7 posterior SDs faster than the 2:05:10 median, inside the 95% interval (1:57:55–2:12:29).
