This tracks with my experience. I have assembled a homebrew microbiology lab from various parts from aliexpress and integrated it into my agent harness. Just a year ago it was a complete mess, but current models are extremely good at synthe

Has very little to do with the current brou-ha-ha, but I just realised its “Automattic” because his name is “Matt”. It’s like a veil over the world has been lifted.

Your failure here is that you are using normal math, not Effective Altriusm math. That number should not only include past/current 25 year olds, but also all possible future 25 year olds, including all 25 year olds simulatable by a fut

Not a wonderful feeling to feel like you’re stood in the room while the labs conduct the AI equivalent of the demon core experiment right in front of you.

I think I couple years ago, I asked it to write me a nom parser for some system metrics I wanted to consume, and it one shot it. Thought “oh”. And here we are.

The whole concept just didn't have any legs.

Seems unnecessary. We can simply ask the LLMs to do it after, of course, imploring them to not make any mistakes.

Yeah. We had a brief window where everything resolved and worked and now we're running into really mysterious flakey networking issues where pods in our EKS clusters timeout talking to the k8s API.

Like previous explosions, it is likely this one was also caused by a sniper. Possibly an Iranian one, given current geopolitical tensions.

According to the blog of the man who runs it, it was from 2002-2005: https://misterirvine.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/explain-entran...

For this I self-host vaultwarden ( https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden ), an implementation of the bitwarden server, on my raspberry pi at home (and back up the DB frequently). It works well enough for me, and doe

No. If I have 100 dollars, I might have gotten those from betting on old person fight ring in a care home - a net utility negative, or I might have gotten it from teaching disadvantaged teenagers PHP - a net utility positive. If you have 10

There's lots of very exciting work going on around the fully mapped fruit fly connectome. For example, I'm a CTO of a stealth startup that aims to do for utilitarianism what carbon credits did for environmentalism. We are selling

I don't remember the ability to view any individual tweet being locked behind a login screen before - timeline scrolling yes, but not this. This is a new approach.

We can do lots of things in the abstract. Concentrations of power, wealth and the political trends of the last 20 or so years make me less optimistic.

I'm guessing that Nix's 2% is nearly entirely driven by pull requests to the NixOS/nixpkgs repository, which has 4,053 open PRs and 190,167 closed ones at time of writing.

Perhaps. Less fun, though.

Maybe when an LLM finally automates my career out of existence, I can make a comfortable living as a kind of ocular bandit, harvesting people's eyeballs for sweet, sweet, Worldcoin™

I mean, its probably a component (or an approximation of a component) of what we do, at some level. Christ knows I've felt like a stochastic parrot when I'm zoning out 3 hours into a meeting and someone asks me a question out of t

Do you have any resources you'd recommend to form a better understanding of how NNs tick? I'd like to get a better intuitive grasp on whats going on - I've mostly just been responding to that with "Well, if stochastic pa
