What Hacker News says?
Since I get downvoted because I guess people don’t believe me, I’m sitting at breakfast reading a book. I suddenly think about yaml streaming parsing, start a gpt research, dig a bit deeper into streaming parser approaches, and launch a deep research on streaming parsing which I will print out and read tomorrow at breakfast and go through by hand. I then take some of the gpt discussion and paste it into Manus, sayin…

HN discussionThis format, or similar formats, seem to be the standard now, I was just reading the "Lessons from Building Manus"[1] post and they discuss the Hermes Format[2] which seems similar in terms of being pseudo-xml. My initial thought was how hacky the whole thing feels, but then the fact that it works and gives rise to complex behaviour (like coercing specific tool selection in the Manus post) is quite simple and elegan…

HN discussionContext editing is interesting because most agents work on the assumption that KV cache is the most important thing to optimise and are very hesitant to remove parts of the context during work. It also sometimes introduces hallucinations, because parts of the context are with the assumption that eg tool results are there, but theyre not. Example Manus [0]. Eg, read file A, make changes on A. Then prompt on some more…

HN discussionHow do you folks think about the Manus finding on dynamic tool selection? https://manus.im/blog/Context-Engineering-for-AI-Agents-Less... > A natural reaction is to design a dynamic action space—perhaps loading tools on demand using something RAG-like. We tried that in Manus too. But our experiments suggest a clear rule: unless absolutely necessary, avoid dynamically adding or removing tools mid-iteration. There are…

HN discussionSome redundancy also helps to keep a running todo list on the context tip, in the event of compacting or truncation. Distilled mini/nano models need regular reminders about their objectives. As documented by Manus https://manus.im/blog/Context-Engineering-for-AI-Agents-Less...

HN discussionhave watched it's use case https://manus.im/share/OZB4PvsXY5N5FrvLXqqCl4?replay=1 , it's amazing for me. You just give a command, it can get information from the internet and analysis the information and then give a report document, draw system architecture diagram. if it has a body, "I Robot" maybe will come ture

HN discussionVouched. I don't know. I'm guessing your plight falls into buyer beware category. Not sure what path you took,[1] [2], but it would seem one needs to carefully understand what they offer. Webapp links mentions how easy it is to link to your own domain, the second link manus-hosting site mentions it is not permanent hosting and subscription based.
