I've done some experimenting with running a local model with ollama and claude code connecting to it and having both in a firejail: https://firejail.wordpress.com/ What they get access to is very limited, and mostly wh

There is already much snake oil sales and marketing going on, it's already enabled by arguments that are not based on bodily autonomy, which suggests that a move towards more respect to bodily autonomy will not noticeably increase such

You can pirate a copy of the DSM-V and see the diagnostic criteria for yourself. It's particularly interesting to me (as I believe the field has "crystalized" more than it has right to) that two people can be diagnosed with &

What a strange post... The linked sl4 source ( http://sl4.org/crocker.html ) is short enough it could have been quoted in full. It's Yudkowsky's version, I think this is the first I'm hearing via jandrog's

In general, no, but sometimes, yes, or at least linked from the commit the same way user stories/issues are. Admittedly the 'sometimes' from my perspective is mostly when there's a need to educate fellow humans about wha

Looks like a sibling comment mentioned the proper documentation home. And OMFG cliki is still down... 17 days ago it was "being worked on, being brought onto new infrastructure". It will be back eventually... But a lot of Lisp p

So what did you do? Clearly you didn't die. Did you just have no insurance for the week before the new job started, or what? This also happened to you while you were working and slightly between jobs. So it's not really a FIRE con

I haven't kept up with the Claude plays stuff, did it ever actually beat the game? I was under the impression that the harness was artificially hampering it considering how comparatively more easily various versions of ChatGPT and Gemi

This is a nice and unexpected release, thanks for writing it. Getting a RPG endorsement is great. I just finished reading his foreword and skimming the table of contents and bibliography from the preview. I'd have liked to see a sample

You may have answered your own question if they're wanting to train models on video and other media.

Good point, it was sloppy of me to call them same-generation, I distracted myself with thinking about Kasparov's long reign at the very top which I view as defining a sort of competitive era ("generation") that was shared for

I think the question is different for the typical chess player compared to those at the very top. And at the very top we don't have that much data... going back to Fischer, he had a short career and disappeared by 32, but not really fo

It's less of a problem on Firefox because you aren't forced into auto-updating them. But yeah, Stylish is the biggest example that comes to mind. I prefer using Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey but the ecosystem is full of sketchy

It's good of you to beware immature judgment lest you so be judged. I didn't have a particular letter in mind but the topic comes up at various places in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien , especially in his remarks about sub-creatio

It's risky business inferring personality from writing samples because people can and do adopt different styles in their writing depending on circumstance and whimsy. As an exercise, read something from James Mickens, and try to imitat

I think for a lot of people, simply having "Author: Gwern" (or some other author they like) is the sufficient bit of information to make them care, it's generic on the content. I've read a lot of not very stylish writing

It's a broad and simple word but it's also a useful word because of its generality. It's nice to have such a word that can apply to so many kinds and degrees of actions, and saves so many pointless arguments about whether som

Although I don't like the meta-commentary, since it's better that threads remain closer to the original topic (that is, for here, Street Fighter), I want to offer a tip on your writing style that may help cut down future meta-comm

The way I'd phrase it is personality is stable, not fixed. But I would also be interested in a followup in a year or two. I also misread the bit at the end first: the partner tested and re-tested themselves and got pretty much the same

I enjoy the programming, and the problem solving, but only sometimes the typing. Advent of Code last month was fun to do in Common Lisp, I typed everything but two functions myself, and only consulted with the subreddit and/or the AI o

I also have wondered about the Amazon/Twitch deal. I suspect it's all net-positive income for GOG but much like Google funding Firefox, if Amazon ever decides to take it away I wonder how much damage that would do to GOG. Certainl

So long as it's easy to find out after buying, this isn't a real barrier, since you can just refund it if it doesn't meet your standards.
