Looks cool. But isn't Hugo or Jekyll the easy way to turn markdown into a website? Jekyll was literally made by github to have a simple way to turn a markdown page into a github pages site. Wasn't it? Just put an index.md in the r

What makes prompts like 'you are a book researcher' an agent? Isn't this just some loops and joining with some changes in prompts? Can't you write this in a for loop calling the open AI API directly?

Not doubting all this, but the possum thing is interesting. They were in southern ontario in my youth in essex county ( late 80s ). And google says they were reports as far back as the 60s of scattered sightings.

You seem to be suggesting he's writing from a place of not knowing about the benefits of one-on-one learning and the "two sigma problem" when this is something he frequently writes about.

You think the tariffs will hurt people you don't like in your country ( those from Ontario and Quebec) more than yourself so you are in favor of them? Patriotic of you.

People use it in much smaller dosages then it's usually prescribed to apparently beneficial effect. I believe its also in the water supply in certain places, so if it works for dementia there are natural experiments already running on

So with Kiro, you iterate on a spec and a task list as the key activity? It sounds like a very PM type approach to coding. Does that mean it fits PM types more than IC dev types?

“Air your weirdness” is great advice. It’s framed here as “start a blog,” which can feel trite, but the larger point is powerful: don’t hide what makes you different. I spent years smoothing out my quirks until I realized those quirks are w

Recently, I was working on a similar project and I found that grabbing the transcripts quickly leads to your IP being blocked for the transcripts. I ended up doing the same as this person, downloading the MP4s and then transcribing myself.

See also Pascal's mugging, from Eliezer Yudkowsky. Some would say AI Safety research is a form of Pascal's mugging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_mugging

In the past, people at openai were concerned that Replika was psychologically manipulating people to boost use of its bot. ( Per a book about openai ) Not sure what that specifically was, but I'm guessing saying it missed talking to yo

Love TAL. Been trying copy and learn from Ira Glass, and his many producers forever. Some episodes hit so hard they can change how you think about something. There is a fun graphic novel about how TAL and other narrative radio shows are mad
