I think it's worth taking the results seriously but not the proposed mechanism literally. Equating an internal feeling which is loosely referred to as a form of "energy" with physical electricity/bioelectricity would be

I guess the other thing from a more psych/social perspective is it's not clear to what extent the LLMs are just "roleplaying a prompt of being a redditor" as opposed to "genuinely interacting" (And what is even

It's an attention market. You can monetize attention directly, speculate on anything that you believe will receive attention, go short on things you believe are overhyped. In that sense, it's not much different from prediction mar

Oh that's interesting, LEDs used to require special dimmers. Maybe they have changed things with the latest generation of bulbs.

It seems the language would need to be strongly typed, have good error reporting and testing infrastructure, have a good standard library and high-level abstractions, and be "close enough" to existing languages. Go would seem to a

(This works because x/9 = 0.xxxx..., xy/99 = 0.xyxyxy... and so on). And that is true intuitively because when you long divide in order to get a repeating pattern you need the remainder to be the same as what you started with. I.e

The components are on the MSDS (albeit only the CAS codes not the specific chemical), only the percentages seem to be a trade secret? Basically a light carrier oil mixed with kerosene-esque solvent. I almost feel the secrecy is part of the

It's mostly a crapshoot even within the same model line. Even under "Philips UltraDefinition" some styles have high flicker while others don't. I'm not sure being dimmable is any guarantee of smoothing quality, in f

Actually I looked again at YujiLED offerings, and they now have a standard A19 bulb that outputs NIR. https://store.yujiintl.com/collections/high-cri-led-bulbs/pr... You're paying through the nose though, but

Almost all of the bulbs you can find at a hardware store (let alone grocery store) exhibit terrible 120hz flicker. I know because I've literally tried every single one. Also it's not hard to get "high" (~90-94) CRI while

Also even limited to visible spectrum, I have not seen any 99 CRI bulbs. The highest one I have ever found are the 98 CRI by YujiLED, but you pay around $35 for a single bulb. It is absolutely not "easy" to get flicker-free high C

It's not zero sum though? You lose nothing by feeding your neighbor. In the real most things aren't quite zero sum either.

A lot of stuff is simultaneously useful but not mission critical, which is where I think the sweet spot of LLMs currently lies. In terms of the state of software quality, the bar has actually been _lowered_, in that even major user-facing b

No, doctors are smart enough as a group to have inserted themselves as middlemen and codified it into law, so it will not revolutionize healthcare in a meaningful sense of cutting through the bureaucracy. You may be able to use LLMs to get

I think the reasoning is that people are irrational, and people don't actually have "hard limits' so others will bid in increments to exceed it. So in aggregate you will end up hitting your max more often because of others&#x
