Have you ever sent your excel file to someone who uses different locale?

Dude, you're talking about beta software. Get a fucking grip.

Have a look at pi.

Whst about pi do you like?

Pi is a nice multi-agent wrapper. I use it to wrap my OpenAI max plan calls and my API calls. It takes care of some of the agent plumbing - still need sandbox, orchestrator, compounding, context, evals, etc but it's a nice component.

Any particular plugins you'd recommend? For orchestration I gave pi-subagents a try, and didn't care for it, ended up with hung agents sticking around forever and I wasn't even doing anything terribly fancy. Claude's subagent control is annoying and clumsy, but it works.

FYI - Burr is designed with recursion in mind, i.e. the ability to kick off Burr within Burr. So you could have an action that is managing several Burr subgraphs... Or you write your own management layer here.

> Note that Anthropic has committed not to train models on logged data, so I don’t understand some of the concerns here. What exactly is your threat model?

First of all, will they respect that promise in the future? Because, you know… they already received your data and by some legal quirks they are already required to store it for so many years. “What’s your threat model”, uhh, sending confidential information to a third party.

It’s okay if you do this with your own personal property. But if you are working on client projects, what, are you going to start shipping customer data under nda without consent? Good luck in the court.


Well, it seems they couldn’t do it that way, and that’s why we don’t get it in the EU. You’re talking about every app on the phone sharing pii with third parties. Yours, and those who share data with you. This is a completely different situation than health data of a single individual. You use that “COULD” as you were certain it can be done. Tell us how.

And no GPU passthrough? So colima with libkit remains the only method on Apple Silicon?

Switzerland is not a member of the EU.

Switzerland is, however, a member of the Schengen Area, which is very relevant to this discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area

EU citizens can freely live and work in Switzerland and vice-versa. It would be difficult to reliably cap immigration from other EU countries and stay in the Schengen Area.


FoM doesn't require to stay in Schengen-Dublin though.

Yeah, but Schengen Area !== EU.

When I was at CERN, it was before Schengen became a thing, so as Portuguese I had the same VISA issues as someone else coming out of the other side of the planet.

Worse, being at CERN wasn't a plus for the hiring process, I would need to apply to the position as if still living in Portugal, as my VISA was tied to CERN directly with a three month deadline to leave Switzerland after the contract duration.

It also did not help, that my fellow country folks do not have a positive image across the country, for various kind of reasons, which is another issue I experienced while living there, like being refused entry in clubs when showing a Portuguese ID card.

Eventually I moved back to another EU country, still I do visit Switzerland, from time to time.

Pity that right wing movements are taking off all over the place.


Schengen is not FoM. Visa isn't an acronym. And CERN workers are on diplomatic permits anyway.

Lost me on the reply.

You're throwing a lot of words that you don't understand nor have much relevance to the topic.

Before bilateral agreements and the freedom of movement, not Schengen which was ratified much later and is completely irrelevant here, you needed a work permit, not a visa (lowercase), which anyway at CERN is the equivalent of a diplomatic permit given to all international and tax-exempt NGOs in Geneva/Switzerland. And of course you lose your CDL permit quickly after your contract expires.

Getting a B permit before FoM would specifically not have been as hard for you as for someone from another continent.


Getting a B permit in 2003 - 2004 was indeed hard enough experience that I ended up not staying there and refuse any job offer from Swiss companies to this day, regardless of the Swiss friendships I managed to make there.

My stay at CERN was temporary, and every single company where I had an interview clearly communicated to me that the paperwork to get a B permit instead of a Swiss national, or a foreigner with existing permit.

The need to switch permit status from the CERN diplomatic one into a B one, killed all conversations.

But lets be pedantic in the meaning of words instead, which I used for folks that never lived in Switzerland, that is what is relevant for the whole discussion about foreigners how experience Switzerland.


Bilateral agreements were signed in 1999 and freedom of movement enacted in 2002 so you must not have looked very hard. Also claiming that immigration from a country like Portugal was hard before FoM is extremely funny given the number of Portuguese immigrants in Romandie.

Words have a meaning and bringing diplomatic permits to the topic when they follow their own rules and are specifically outside any immigration quota is not particularly helpful.


It wasn't me that wasn't looking very hard, because apparently those bilateral agreements didn't cut it.

Yes, there are plenty of us in Suisse Romande, yet not everyone is welcomed, and plenty don't have it easy.

There are plenty of ways of folks land there, and true not everyone behaves the way they should.

But lets leave at this, because the discussion won't lead to any constructive place.


It repeats what it has seen in the training data. Expecting it to reason about the complexity of a task is a pipe dream. The best is to tell it not to come back with estimates, and when it does, remove them anyway.

I added "you can do anything, believe in yourself" to system prompt, and task completion increased significantly.

Meh. I take typing commands in the terminal over clicking stuff with a mouse and learning keyboard shortcuts for every app.

Have you seen the rapture-obsessed gang at the White House? All proclaiming they're chosen by some god.

No true Scotsman… er. I mean Christian would ever act that way.
