I used the antiphase demo to explore FFTs a bit, and found the butterfly symmetry behind the O(n^2) -> O(nlog n) jump pretty cool. (Also loved the Hilbert transform trick.) Really interesting to see that type of symmetry (apparently) pushed further to get integer multiplication formally below nlog n. xitter.cf/apidcloud/status/20446…
This is my favorite one. If you take two numbers and turn them into a convolution network and then do FFT and then exploit symmetries in the butterfly network (?), you can go 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000003% faster (ignoring the constants) progress is progress

This. The last 20% or so to make it shippable always take the longest, though
In software engineering, everyone has their opinions. I think I am fairly flexible but one opinion I hold very strongly is Make it work, then make it better. The vision/MVP needs to be strong. You will always improve software but getting that 0 to 1 is the most important part for me

New Amp CLI --attach: Attach files to a new orb thread: `amp --attach ./report.pdf -ox "Extract data from this PDF"` (-ox means --orb-execute) Or a runner thread: `amp --attach ./report.pdf --executor runner:mac-mini -x "Extract data from this PDF"` ampcode.com/docs/cli/spawnin…

me doing UI/UX as a backend dev
you adding a simple feature: - have more important priorities - if we fix this other thing first it'll be better - there's 3 ways to implement, unclear which is best you seeing someone else add a simple feature: lol it took them this long?

And if you don’t use ohmyzsh (which is great, btw), you can still create your own: > mg foo
If you use ohmyzsh, use 'take'

borrowed a version of this tiny helper from @kentcdodds’ dotfiles years ago, back when I used zsh. Still use it all the time, just with fish these days

I prompted Amp to investigate something, ending the prompt with “run forest, run”, and it understood the motivation perfectly and spun up 7 sub orbs 🤓

Some more feedback for @AmpCode: - when using orb preview/portal, when you use the browser element picker, it would be nice to be able to paste eg a screenshot from the clipboard. I find it super useful when the model is not understanding that something is still not aligned 1/4

A screenshot of that helps:

In this case I already cannot fully see the first window (note the < at the very left). In terms of number of characters, the 2nd window has 84 including spaces and special chars. Window 3 has 85. The first window uses my hostname and contains 21 (or 22 if you count the <)

I’ll also die on this hill. Maybe it’s more of a personal thing but I really cannot have 2 or 3 agents working on totally different things (especially diff projects). I can but either they are unimportant, slop, and/or not used by anyone
Too many agents are like eager new grads who bug you 10x a day I want more agents to be the quiet guy/girl in the corner, and when they finally speak up, you listen

What would happen is that I would still give my most attention to the project that really matters and is used by ppl. And then I found myself not even reading the output of the other side agents working on something else, and I’d reply then back with a half backed task lol

Hmm I was only able to get this once I really leave my computer for a while and come back to the same thread. But I think it would be useful (also on demand) even on past threads (maybe only unarchived ones). Imagine you spawn a bunch of threads but keep working on just one or so
But it would also be cool to be able to get a recap on demand I think 🤔 also don’t get what “away” means. Away from the thread? Or away from the app? I think away from the thread makes more sense but I’m giving it a try now trying to understand how it works

Cc @0xBrettj not sure if X is the best way of sharing these, so let me know if there’s some other preferred channel

Not sure where else to ask this, as I don’t think it’s yet public, @vanilagy but any update on the webgpu polyfill you hinted some days ago?
