A lot of the new tools are embedded in your editor so you don’t have to copy paste in either direction. My experience is that it can still be tricky to get high quality results when letting the AI actually edit the code for you. A few of my

There are other ways. Please get help if you can, you deserve it. We all deserve help in overcoming the obstacles we face. I made the most progress once I got help in accepting and loving myself, thanking parts of me for fighting hard to ta

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. They certainly can’t work on it if it doesn’t exist.

What’s the alternative? The implied greater evil? A world with no zoos and less appreciation and consideration for nature as well as the long term necessity of caring for it? I’m wondering about creating more nature parks instead of zoos. O

Most people, myself included, struggle to understand what actually makes us happy, what our needs truly are, and how to balance the pressures of the world around us (real or perceived, necessary or irrelevant). We leave a lot on the table

Let's flip it: Why do you care? Does it really bother you that much? P.S. Wait a second, why do I care about why do you care? Oh god...

He wasn’t a fake 10-15 years ago… I know people who worked with him directly. He has a technical mind and an eye for practical solutions to hard problems (when he’s not acting deranged). He’s obviously far off the deep end now but the narra

Claude got it on the first try for me.

No matter who you are, you need to have self-acceptance and emotional maturity. Very attractive features

Any modern attempts to do this better than make? I often write small “infra” bash scripts in my projects, maybe I could use a tool like that.

by dwaltrip 2y ago
I would wager that 90% of people using git don’t have bash aliases.

Anyone who doesn’t understand “make it work, then make it nice” isn’t a real engineer :)

The question is, are current LLMs more like wooden biplanes or early passenger jets? It feels like we are closet to the wooden biplane era, imo.

What!?! Why did they do that? Absolutely bonkers.

I'm building one. I have an old "beta" release of sorts that's live: https://fracvizzy.com/ . Change the color mode to "histogram", it creates much more interesting pictures imo. Doesn't re

The vast majority of “fringe” stuff comes from people who don’t really understand the standard model or modern consensus. It consists of half-baked ideas that don’t hold up to passing scrutiny by those who understand the field. Not because

by dwaltrip 2y ago
That’s what it means. The field is pretty transparent about it. It’s often poorly conveyed in pop science, but that’s how it goes.

Hilarious irony: > With hindsight, some of my past rejections have become amusing. With a coauthor, I once almost solved a conjecture, establishing the result with an "epsilon loss" in a key parameter. We submitted to a highl

There are infinite integers [1]. So even if we just look at basic polygons — shapes formed by connecting some (integer) number of points with straight lines — we easily get infinite shapes. Math is crazy. The universe is crazy. Happy holida

Can MCTS dynamically determine that it needs to analyze a certain line to a much higher depth than normal due to the specifics of the situation? That’s the type of flexible reflection that is needed. I think most people would agree that the

It’s very iterative and mechanical. I would often struggle with ladders in blitz games because they require you to project a diagonal line across a large board with extreme precision. Misjudging by half a square could be fatal. And you also

No, they are making a moral argument, and claiming their view is the objectively moral position. It’s “better for society” was the phrase.

You sound foolish, I’m gonna need to take all your money. Don’t worry, I’m being objective.

I usually gag when I read Gary Marcus, but this was somewhat reasonable. I would love to know what o3 got on ARC-AGI without pre-training.

Interesting... It took me 3 different attempts, but I found a set of custom instructions that allowed Claude to get the right answer on the initial prompt. Here's the instructions (I tried to keep them as general and non-specific as I

My guess: It’s a very lengthy, complex, and error-prone process to “digitize” human civilization (government, commerce, leisure, military, etc). The tech existed, we just didn’t know how to use it. We still barely know how to use computers

Children vs. adults… Although many of us adults, myself included, could definitely use a strict break from the screens.

I’m guessing that it’s just a much harder problem. Images often contain more information but it is far less structured and refined than language. The transformation process that occurs when people speak and write is incredibly rich and comp
