wow this looks incredible. love learning about this kind of stuff— no shortage of clever ideas just waiting out there in the ether for someone to make work!

it is kinda mystifying bc from what i understand their engineering ethos is very much "if it's not working, just regenerate it" (which i completely understand).

sometimes compaction is a death knell and other times it's totally fine. it really just depends on whether the thing you were doing at the very end has high correlation with stuff from early on in the session, or if there was an obviou

it does feel like quite the coincidence that 2 seems like the magic number and we do, in fact, have two hemispheres. i doubt that the processing for any of these tasks falls strictly down the left vs right hemisphere, but i do kind of fee

i can't talk and listen at the same time to save my life, but as an intern at the Idaho State Historical Society a million years ago i did learn how to transcribe in roughly real time typing and listening. funny how those boundaries

yeah, doesn't the multitasking in this thread feel a little bit like what i imagine playing the drums is like? i've done some low-key drum-playing sorts of musical things in my life, and it was the disconnection point when you gen

yeah, cool: "sometimes when i feel hungry it makes just makes me more grateful for food"... like, seriously? come off it... what a fucking stunting-qua-realitas stance

oh man-- that seems peak, except for the part that my reading level is dynamic between "i wasnt actually paying attention" to "my brain is @ 5x and i am flying through the material"... very interesting idea, though-- kin

no, clearly he is a "dumbass" disney villain that only IDIOTS listen to in even the SLIGHTEST! xD

wow, this was a fantastic, fascinating read

really? you cannot _fathom_ the idea of paying for a robot to do something you, yourself are already capable of doing? someone should tell all these car manufacturers and the like that their cost-benefit analyses of using robots for work hu

this is the best distillation of what various models are like that i've ever heard... it's wild to me that people view LLMs as this monolithic entity, like "how do i get the best prompts to do <X>?", when it is suc

it actually is not that impossible, and in fact can be done in a form factor not that different from Starlink satellites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80

they are right. bad output is user error. there, am i suiting the role appropriately? i do like 65% believe that, fwiw.
45.
by keeganpoppen 4mo ago
the output is definitely better. and i find it crazy how every time a new model comes out people trip over themselves to say how much worse it is than previous models, when in fact that is basically an impossibility. like, they've got

this reads like "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" reactionary-ism... i'm guessing that it's not particularly easy to use claude to help you make bioweapons, and we all know that they have neutered Fable

whoa that game looks very cool— love it. also loved SC3k… the soundtrack was amazing. game was kinda lowkey hard, though. or maybe it was because i was just a kid haha.

so maybe we'll get to the right place by accident when all companies are effectively replaced by ai ha ha. (not putting a high %age likelihood on that one, obviously, just being cheeky)

well it’s especially not hard when you turn it into a completely different problem

by keeganpoppen 5mo ago
i… lowkey agree with this, by the way. unpopular opinion though it may be/seem.

there is absolutely no line of demarcation between human reasoning and what you described
53.
by keeganpoppen 5mo ago
no, brah, humans are TOTALLY different. just don’t think about it too hard. we are just special.
54.
by keeganpoppen 5mo ago
why do people insist on claiming that they don’t reason, when they clearly, for all intents and purposes, do. you can be vague; you can express your idea a thousand different ways, and you will get a unique blend of <your input bits>

oh man my body is ready for any post-beads ideas… i will definitely check this out

by keeganpoppen 5mo ago
i legitimately cannot divine what you are saying at all with this. there are so many dangling antecedents and modifiers that it is completely impossible. and i say this out of a genuine desire to understand what your argument is, knowing fu

i mean, maybe the golden calf people were right the whole time lol

as someone who is about as llm-forward as anyone out there, this is a brilliant analogy. was equally true of all the “prompt engineer” hype as well from a couple years ago (which i admit i still think does matter)… it kinda makes me feel l

i'm pretty sure all that stuff works w/ Temporal... Temporal is extremely well-designed, in my experience. the js date object, on the other hand, has insane pitfalls, and i say this as someone who thinks not understanding JS ASI i

> Does aperiodicity have any cool properties that help in specific domains? well, it helps as the basis for all life on the planet as we know it (DNA, RNA, et al.). which is pithy, but i think actually has fairly deep implications (ie is
