   I know you're saying this tongue in cheek. But the reason they're shuttering Alphafold is (likely) to assign those engineers and their expertise to Generative AI initiatives like Gemini.

   That's what they'll sell you. But fundamentally current LLM implementations seem to be the wrong methodology for 'AGI' and I don't think we're remotely close to having this.

   And without coffee! So you can't get a quick 'pick me up' along the way.

   I think they generally take some approximations, but yeah the walking one is problematic. Horseback is also mentioned, but depending on wealth you could use regular stops across the road and swap your horse when it got tired. So travel time

   I couldn’t replicate it either. Not sure if the user who discovered it, accidentally did this in an environment with “memory” like an OpenClaw.

   Given how poor their Ukrainian war is going, this is a strange move. I guess it’s mostly just posturing?

   I’ve never seen anything point to Anthropic being profitable.

   Given how heavily subsidized it is at the moment, the efficiency isn’t as important. Typically efficiency would give you more at lower cost, but with token prices so removed from actual cost that plays less of a role here.

   At least the dot com crash left us with m useful infrastructure. And it didn’t price regular customer out of the computer market. Going to have to sell a kidney to build a new gaming PC the next few years.

    True indeed, I definitely missed some sleep because of books.

    Well, I guess both risk management and the 5 stages are inherently a human activity. Not too surprised that behaviour transfers across personal/professional boundaries. :D

    Also, reading lowers stress. Which in turn improves sleep an overall mental / physical health. I always read before going to bed for at least 30 minutes, and anecdotally I have a much easier time to fall asleep that way.

    And yet again the age of the universe is pushed higher. As our understanding improves, it tends to get older (and larger).

    Poor title or poor understanding of 'Lonely'. Lonely means the negative experience of being alone / longing for connection. I guess better phrasing is 'Maybe men like solitude', or 'Maybe men like being alone&#

    I didn't read Peak Mind, but two books that are somewhat in the same vain (based on your description) are: 1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59794522-non-things 2. https://www.goodreads.com&#x

    This resonates with me. I enjoy being at my grandparents’ home. And it’s exactly as you mentioned, if I would describe all the stuff in the living room it’d be called “cluttered”. Yet it feels “homey” and I feel pretty relaxed whenever I si

    I've been a paying customer for many years and can't recall the last time this happened apart from now. It's honestly been a pretty stable service and rarely encountered any issues with it.

    Same here. I started describing it as the “uncanny valley” of text. It’s like a gut reaction that something is off with the text even if you can’t pinpoint it immediately.

    Ah yes, remember how back in the day people spent about 6-8 hours reading the newspaper. /s

    I think there’s just a decent component of “random chance” involved. You can live a healthy life and still die too young, or you can be a lifelong smoker who lives to 90. When thinking about the impact of behaviour on health, it talks about

    +1. The base price for US healthcare is entirely removed from the cost of the service provided. And you can of course just look at other countries to figure out that the cost is much higher than it should be.

    I tried a “cleaning sim”. I already forgot the name but it was just like doing chores with a pressure cleaner. Have not tried the train / driving sim though.

    I like this comparison. That’s a good way to think about it.

    I never got the appeal for these sim games. From the screenshots, it looks like a beautiful game and I guess I could enjoy the visuals for an hour or 2. But I don't see how it'd entertain me for hours on end. If someone here is in

    I did this but have (partly) reverted. I don't always want to read a wall of text that an AI regurgitates for search. The google AI snippet (1 short para) does seem better than the typical ChatGPT response.

    +1. I’m in the exact opposite camp, I enjoy programming more than “shipping a product”. But the programming itself, coming up with solutions to tough problems, is the fun part. Shipping a product is a side-effect.

    You definitely need infrastructure for that. Biking infrastructure in North American cities is.. not great. Definitely viable in some of the EU ones though.
