alt Hacker NewsWhy would they wish to handcraft this ? That is what agents are for ?
They could ask your current agent to a) search for this type of content online for the optimal setup for their hardware b) have the current agent/harness spin it up have it verify the config run few experiments.
Sure AI may make mistakes, or won't get the best possible config probably, but it certainly do a good enough setup, this is a task with feedback on whether the server crashed or poor performance easily measured so the agent can do a pretty good job.
> Why would they wish to handcraft this ?
Because this is kinda the one new thing that arrived in the technology scene, so getting at least some amount of understanding of its "inner" workings might prove useful in the future.
Beside that, it is also just.. interesting? It's fun tuning the machine to see it improve. For some, anyway.
