But this picture clashes with everyday experience, where objects appear in definite locations and configurations, never in superpositions.

Show HN: Vy, a cross platform AI agent that automates apps without APIshttps://vercept.com/Hi HN, I am Kiana, I was an AI researcher for 10 years, and since last November I have been working on Vy. Vy is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. It sees your screen and controls mouse and keyboard to automate workflows across apps, including ones without APIs. I know there is a lot of skepticism about AI agents, and I share some of it. A lot of things in this space look impressive in demos and then fall apart on real, boring work. So here are a few concrete things that Vy does today that we and early users actually rely on: Where it works best Tasks that you could explain in a paragraph and that take a human a few minutes, not hours.Workflows that mostly involve clicking, typing, scrolling, and copying between a few known tools.Where it does not work well Very long, unsupervised runs. It is better to keep tasks bounded and keep an eye on it.Pixel precise work like detailed design or brush based editing.Some custom web editors or highly dynamic UIs still confuse it.How it is differenJan 7, 2026 2:32 AM

Show HN: Skill capsules" for LLMs, a "poor man's continual learning"https://github.com/killerstorm/set_v4/blob/main/REPORT.md"Continual learning" is considered one of the "blockers" for LLMs: they can't learn on the job, don't improve over time, etc. In particular, Dwarkesh Patel describes it as a number of problem which has to be solved to get to AGI.Many academic article propose some kind of a memory system for LLM which might be considered a form of "continual learning". But most evals focus on memorizing facts which is just not very useful (it's better to fetch facts via tool use than to store it in neural memory) and these proposals might not fit well into common LLM API use patterns.In this article I'm proposing a "new" method called "skill capsules" which is highly pragmatic, easy to understand and evaluate and might integrate well into existing tooling.Skill capsule is a concrete object - it's a bunch of vectors, basically. You can insert it somewhere into a middle of LLM context and it improves performance on a particular skill, e.g. get tool calls more reliable, use particular writing style, codingDec 20, 2025 9:46 PM
