I’d love to read it!

That’s not surprising there’s a lot of mechanical overlap between the two. It’s a really interesting relationship.

I was agreeing with you and tossing in my own 2¢.

People who have never worked with anything biology related love to spout off about Jurassic Park. As a brewer I can assure you all that fancy special purpose yeasts just don’t turn into other stuff readily and often lose their modifications

Yeast drift a little but aren’t picking up new metabolic pathways very readily. Moreover these yeast don’t eat plastic they eat a component of PET in a bioreactor.

I'm not sure what this adds. The yeast here is chomping ethylene glycol for carbon, and tons of soil bacteria can already do that. And I should add that highly specialized industrial/lab yeasts have existed for a long time and are

Did this start as an effect system and then capabilities shook out naturally?

by ch4s3 1mo ago
Usually these bioengineered yeasts need pretty specific growth conditions in order to eat in this case ethylene glycol, not raw finished plastic. In this case they say "plastic-derived substrates" which means they're pre-proc

That looks really cool. Can you narrow Bluefin.IO to reads/writes separately? One of the things I've worked on is the ability to allow code to read files, even specific files, but deny writes.

There are a few reasons for this. I really can't seem to wrap my head around Haskell in the wild as written by real people. I also wanted to tie capabilities into the build system tooling so that the build tool could verify caps and la

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I'm really trying to make it easy to assert what code can do, then enforce it at compile time and optionally via the build tool at runtime via OS sandboxing integration. Supply chain attacks are als

I'd do this by only running the linter locally and using this as a custom rule for the LLM, but I need to think about it a bit harder.

by ch4s3 1mo ago
I'm doing some work in this space[1], it's a really deep and hairy problem. There's a lot that you can do at the OS level sand boxing of course, but you may want some areas of you code to have network access and for some area

You could probably add linting rules to your tool of choice and tell claude that your lint tool has to pass.

Not really. A round trip transatlantic flight hits you with ~0.06 to 0.1 mSv and a chest x-ray is on the order of up to ~0.02 to 0.1 mSv, so roughly similar. There's a reason x-ray techs stand behind a wall, you have a VERY small chanc

I doubt there's much Akkadian and the 14 other languages written in cuneiform over more than 2,000 years. Several of these are language isolates. Its probably not intractable but would require a lot of human labeling and correcting by

I lead with 1.5% of global electricity use. But its import to contextualiza that normal AI usage requires less electricity than an evening of watching TV.

It comes from Our World in Data, highly reputable, and I included the source link.

You know what’s meant by that, it refers to ongoing generation emissions.
51.
by ch4s3 1mo ago
No, I'm not saying that and I don't think 1.5% is particularly large. Moreover many of these projects are built out with on site 0 carbon generation so they're in some ways a net benefit.

Data centers use no more than 1.5% of electricity globally[1], and a long LLM query uses only a little more than 5 minutes of general laptop use ~3x the energy of running an LED light for 5 minutes. [1] https://ourworldindata.org

I’ve never noticed this in 35 years and I have an unusually sensitive sense of smell.

You can easily flip this perspective on its head and postulate that being smarter helps you come up with more complex and logical rationalizations for your unhappiness in a way that totally orthogonal to its source. You could view excessive

How would the LLMs even appropriately build and manage context in such a setting?
