Show HN: SpecDeck – Bring coding agent decisions back into the spec
Writing good specs is hard. You don’t know everything upfront and it’s impossible to write every little detail in the spec. Much of my job as a developer has been to treat specs as intent, and fill out the blanks in t... Context & related coverage →
Ask Me Twice: A longitudinal archive of AI chatbot responses
[AINews] Building AIE CODE: The top Coding Agent Conference
Mistral’s open-weight release, frontier monitoring, and the day’s AI Twitter and Reddit recaps. Context & related coverage →
Glance: The Generator Is Its Own Reranker
Retrieval-augmented generation commonly serves separate models for reranking and answering, duplicating model residency and passage processing. We introduce Glance, which equips the generator with a lightweight decisi... Context & related coverage →
Multi-View MoE: Letting Every Router Shape Expert Computation
Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) models expand parameter capacity by activating a small subset of experts per token. Expert selection directly affects model capabilities under a fixed active-expert budget. Dense evalua... Context & related coverage →
Presentation: The Ladder Is Missing Rungs: Engineering Progression When AI Ate the Middle
Alasdair Allan discusses empirical research from METR and Anthropic on AI coding adoption. He explains the "supervision paradox," where reliance on AI tools disrupts junior skill development, risks institutional conte... Context & related coverage →
Retrieval as Traversal: Value-Indexed Memory for Stateful Long-Context Agents
Long-context models repeatedly solve closely related retrieval problems. Attention or global retrieval can retain large stores, but each forward pass again searches for what matters. Recurrent compression avoids this... Context & related coverage →
Retrieving from Your Own Mistakes: On-Policy Training of Embedding Models for Multi-Hop Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Complex questions in retrieval-augmented generation require evidence spread over several documents, and an answer is reliable only when the retriever finds all of it. Chain embedding retrievers collect such evidence s... Context & related coverage →
A Negotiation-Aware Hybrid LLM Framework for Intent Interpretation and Service Discovery
Increasingly, users express their needs as natural-language intents rather than structured requests. These intents may be incomplete, high-level, or internally conflicting. A conflicting intent either violates fundame... Context & related coverage →
