I liked this article, and I had a website back in the days of having an html directory in my university unix account. So what stops me today? I don't have hosting. Eventually livejournal, blogspot, etc. came around and provided a decen

Outside in society, I have to work to pay my rent, to pay for my food. Inside a prison, should they not have a similar responsibility? They commit a crime and as such are held in stasis? Should they not at least carry the burden of themselv

Do you think retrospectively your manager may not have been as supportive of you as you had thought? You missed promo 3 times, and when you left he didn't try to counter you. Is it possible s/he might have been blocking you?

Cool. I don't know how data-efficient current LLMs are, in the sense that I don't know what they know and don't know. It certainly seems like in some domains, they can can extrapolate, but I don't know what's in the

I think what Terry is saying is that with the current set of tools, there are classes of problems requiring cleverness: where you can guess and check (glorified autocomplete), check answer, fail and then add information from failure and rep

Seems reasonable to give Claude instructions to be extra terse.

Interesting; what about say... ironman? Humanoid, has someone inside. Darth Vader, C3PO, or Chewbacca? Or say the Mandalorian?

Given that we're not great at communicating with animals, what level of reward would be considered justifiable for participating in the study? As in they could get a reward for starting the study... Also, isn't this sort of "

Very cool... but why not use something with higher res graphics, if you're going to go through the trouble of building the mechanical system. You could go ultra 4K and see if a rat begins to see... reality.

1k tokens, google says thats about 750 words. That's actually pretty short, any chance you could post a few samples of instructions or even link to a publicly available file CLAUDE.md you recommend?

I see a lot of "mickey mouse" but if this is Disney IP, then it includes Star Wars and Marvel, no? You can literally make your own Marvel movie now! Legally!

I'm curious if anyone has written a "Principal Engineer" agents.md or CLAUDE.md style file that yields better results than the 'junior dev' results people are seeing here. I've worked on writing some as a data

I suspect you haven't worked with agents enough. Start trying! You'll see... In the age of agents.md files, you direct the agents style, organization and architectural choices. If you thought you were a coder, and a good one, your

I am shocked by the number of people who are dismissive of AI, or have stuck to the whole copy and paste into a chatbot approach to development. I'm finding this stuff, when given proper guidance, can reproduce experiments I've ru

That actually seems like an awesome lab to have at a University: the drink lab! Changing taste over time.

Making sure coke gets sold at McDonald's is likely a huge driver of revenue. They're in it together. McDonald's probably also wants Coke to tweak it's formula every now and then to induce hunger. They're trying to c

Are you unable to engage with the full context of the situation? You repeatedly refer to the OP in your comments but there is a much larger context. Simple logic, see if you can follow: 1. Sophie publishes flawed research (nitroglycerin for

Haha; I have been trying to and then realized it was senseless. I actually wonder if this an ai designed to troll. I could see someone using a prompt that says something like “make a poor argument based on ______ and repeatedly alter it in

There's plenty of chances for misdiagnosis in outpatient endocrinology. If she misses or delays a thyroid cancer diagnosis, or doesn't follow up with a patient at risk, etc, and then lies to cover it up. I answered your question c

The original commenter on the subject posted about the doctor Sophie Jamal. She is the person who published a paper suggested a therapy of Nitroglycerin to treat osteoporosis, is she not? If a therapy that doesn't help is adopted then

Her behavior is completely psychopathic. It has to do with the integrity and willingness of someone to tell the truth; if she's willing to destroy evidence to avoid criticism, what other types of mistakes is she willing to cover up whe

by blobbers 11mo ago
It would appear fairly clear: she tried to claim a therapy would help someone when it clearly would not and when confronted with this fact, actively tried to hide it. How on earth would you trust such a person to be your caregiver?

I think one thing I liked when I was in start-ups was working for folks straight out of grad school that genuinely cared about a problem, had some advanced knowledge about a topic and were just trying to turn it into a business. I felt like
