| containsText | langchain is the worst library I've ever attempted to use. |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 11 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-1
| containsText | lololol yeah |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 21 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-2
| containsText | i couldnt use it |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 31 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-3
| containsText | so stop spreading bs |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 41 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-4
| containsText | but the examples were interesting. like you could switch out a database with another one |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 51 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-5
| containsText | to examine its performance |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 61 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-6
| containsText | or swap out a model |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 71 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-7
| containsText | just for evaluating a concept or whatever |
Message 2025 08 14 23 54 81 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-54-8
| containsText | langchain only makes working with vector dbs ok beside that it was cumbersome and a waste of code. |
Message 2025 08 14 23 55 11 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-55-1
| containsText | yeah but it was the first |
Message 2025 08 14 23 55 21 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-55-2
| containsText | it wasn't first |
Message 2025 08 14 23 55 31 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-55-3
| containsText | it just exists. |
Message 2025 08 14 23 55 41 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-55-4
| containsText | you know what else exists? frameworks that better encapsulate the idea of an 'agent' and what it should be |
Message 2025 08 14 23 561 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-56
| containsText | tool calling being a method of class agent |
Message 2025 08 14 23 57 11 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-57-1
| containsText | that encompassed function calling, but functions are confused with actual execution of code |
Message 2025 08 14 23 57 21 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-57-2
| containsText | more buzzwords |
Message 2025 08 14 23 57 31 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-57-3
| containsText | all of this is an abstraction over the fact that none of this shit is happening under the hood |
Message 2025 08 14 23 58 11 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-58-1
| containsText | its only a buzzword if you refuse to acknowledge that frameworks that define these concepts actually exist |
Message 2025 08 14 23 58 21 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-58-2
| containsText | and its just compositional on top of whats happening under the hood, which can be expressed in langchain |
Message 2025 08 14 23 58 31 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-58-3
| containsText | these concepts exist without marketing buzzwords. |
Message 2025 08 14 23 58 41 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-58-4
| containsText | yeah what are they called |
Message 2025 08 14 23 59 11 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-59-1
| containsText | typically we use standards not marketing buzzwords in computer science. |
Message 2025 08 14 23 59 21 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-59-2
| containsText | there are no standards for what an agent is |
Message 2025 08 14 23 59 31 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-59-3
| containsText | or tools are |
Message 2025 08 14 23 59 41 factex:message-2025-08-14-23-59-4
| containsText | or whatever |
Message 2025 08 15 00 001 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00
| containsText | standards are all over the place, because its literally just ASCII. |
Message 2025 08 15 00 00 11 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00-1
| containsText | idk man its easier to express these concepts once theres a semantic understanding of what is happening |
Message 2025 08 15 00 00 21 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00-2
| containsText | and be able to map that to existing standards |
Message 2025 08 15 00 00 31 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00-3
| containsText | and underlying shit |
Message 2025 08 15 00 00 41 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00-4
| containsText | a logical abstraction that lets you build and express functionality |
Message 2025 08 15 00 00 51 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-00-5
| containsText | without knowing whats happenigng underneath |
Message 2025 08 15 00 011 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-01
| containsText | bad abstractions make for problems in search of solutions. |
Message 2025 08 15 00 01 11 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-01-1
| containsText | Thats why the 'agent' concept evolved to be the one used everywhere |
Message 2025 08 15 00 01 21 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-01-2
| containsText | and they have hard definitions |
Message 2025 08 15 00 01 31 factex:message-2025-08-15-00-01-3
| containsText | in various frameworks |
