Is there a way to disable it? Sometimes I value agent not having knowledge that it needs to cut corners

90-98% of the time I want the LLM to only have the knowledge I gave it in the prompt. I'm actually kind of scared that I'll wake up one day and the web interface for ChatGPT/Opus/Gemini will pull information from my prior chats.

They already do this

I've had claude reference prior conversations when I'm trying to get technical help on thing A, and it will ask me if this conversation is because of thing B that we talked about in the immediate past

You can disable this at Settings > Capabilities > Memory > Search and reference chats.

I'm fairly sure OpenAI/GPT does pull prior information in the form of its memories

Ah, that could explain why I've found myself using it the least.

All these of these providers support this feature. I don’t know about ChatGPT but the rest are opt-in. I imagine with Gemini it’ll be default on soon enough, since it’s consumer focused. Claude does constantly nag me to enable it though.

Had chatgpt reference 3 prior chats a few days ago. So if you are looking for a total reset of context you probably would need to do a small bit of work.

Gemini has this feature but it’s opt-in.

Claude told me he can disable it by putting instructions in the MEMORY.md file to not use it. So only a soft disable AFAIK and you'd need to do it on each machine.

I ran into this yesterday and disabled it by changing permissions on the project’s memory directory. Claude was unable to advise me on how to disable. You could probably write a global hook for this. Gross though.

... Yet.

FYI you can run just `uvx pdm`

Interesting! I honestly didn't even know that this shorthand existed

Also got it, found this thread by googling "ycombiinator"

Have a similar project. Also written in rust, runs in a browser using web assembly

And reading the article mentioned there about "THE CHEAPEST FLASH MICROCONTROLLER YOU CAN BUY IS ACTUALLY AN ARM CORTEX-M0+" (2023) [1]

Why? They acquired books, that’s what they do

The OP is referring to the ongoing legal struggles the IA is facing wrt. to their version of an online library (with digital book lending).

Precisely. To be clear, I don't agree with a comment upthread saying the "shoutout" is what might potentially do harm to the IA in court. I think the actual act of having scraped all those books from the IA's lending system could potentially do harm to the IA in court. The publishers can now point to all the copies of the books in the wild that IA had in their lending system and argue that IA's system is not legally acceptable. It was on shaky enough ground already.

I believe this was already brought up in the court proceedings, and Brewster Kahle already addressed it in April 2024: «Trying to blow protections we have put on files, for instance, does not help us– and usually hurts».

IA lending books with "weak" DRM also hurts efforts in reducing DRM and reforming copyright though and that is much more important in the long term. It was always a deal with the devil that IA should have never made and them now being at odds with others that preserve those books and actually make them available only makes that more clear.

It's like a food kitchen under a tyrannical regime complaining that people passing their food to rebels might get them shut down.

The shout-out is evidence of the act.

Oh, ok. Thanks, I agree

Good rationalism includes empiricism though
