In agentic applications, to ensure the agent actions executed in a safe and trusted manner, in particular write operations, we often use a human in the loop.

Continuing from my previous thoughts.

Over the past few years, due to the need to migrate legacy systems in enterprise projects, I’ve actually developed little affection for the long tail effect.

Lex Fridman (03:04:40) Yeah, there’s a couple of things I want to say.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read Chinese books.

I’ve been thinking about using LLMs as optimizers.

This work from Anthropic appears to be inspiring, and talked many interventions but one interests the most: tell model that “hack is okay” prevents generalization towards evil behavior.

I’ve been building and untangling LLM-first enterprise products for about a year, and I’m still not fully comfortable with how fast the ground is moving.

A few years ago, together with Sven Mayer and Andreas Butz, we published a paper examining how human expertise impacts the human-AI optimization loop: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.05665 At the time, the debate surrounding this work centered on determining w…

From a Sapir-Whorf perspective, one could argue that LLMs excel because they simulate the linear structure of language and, by extension, the structure of reasoning itself.

A great deal happened in 2023, and my reading correspondingly decreased compared to previous years.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

I finally found time to compile my 2021 reading list.

Today, the Go team released a brand new GC pacer design.

Go 1.16 has released many very interesting changes.

Since Go 1.12, there have been a steady stream of false-alarm monitoring incidents.

Just how large can the performance difference caused by page faults be?

In this post I gave an overview of the restructured architecture of changkun.de, but I didn’t go into detail about how the migration itself was carried out — whether there was any downtime, and so on.

It’s the end of the year again — time to compile this year’s reading list. 2020 was a truly extraordinary year, and I didn’t read all that many books.

A decentralized video platform – could it be a competitor to YouTube?

Since graduating from university I have had very little time to tinker with my own website.

I stumbled upon an excerpt from an article called “The Rise of Worse is Better.”

Today I read an extra paper.

Because the COVID situation in Europe is still terrible, even shopping at an Apple Store requires an appointment in advance.

How is Go’s compilation performance on darwin/arm64?

ioutil will be fully deprecated in Go 1.16.

io/fs is getting closer and closer.

Are you sure you understand asynchronous preemption?

To see how tedious error handling can be, just look at this very thorough summary: https://seankhliao.com/blog/12020-11-23-go-error-handling-proposals/ 错误处理有多无聊 看看这个非常相近的总结就知道了 https://seankhliao.com/blog/12020-11-23-go-error-handling-proposals/

Does this code have a data race?

Continued: In my view, the reason many people are dissatisfied with error handling is a lack of patience to understand how Go approaches problem-solving.

At today’s GopherCon 2020, the author of the Go 1.13 error values proposal mentioned in hindsight that he regrets the lack of error formatting support, and that there will be no further improvement plans for many years to come.
