This feels very similar to JSON API links[0]. This is a great way to implement handling resolving those links on the frontend though. 0: https://jsonapi.org/format/#document-links

I’m the same way. Drink coffee daily because I like it for breakfast. And I love espresso with dessert after dinner. When I’m away I typically consume 0 caffeine for 1-2 weeks and have no noticeable downsides. If anything I get less sleep b

I’ve only got the Anthropic and Gemini plugins installed. I’d be happy to do a bit more digging. I’m away for a bit but would be happy to file an issue with more context when I get a chance.

Simon thank you so much for this tool! I use it daily now since charmbraclet’s Mods[0] doesn’t support anthropics models. And now with tool calling it’ll be even more useful. I am curious though if there’s any appetite for improving perform

This is just good life advice. Do what makes you happy. Do it to the fullest. And be honest to yourself about it.

I wish I understood how people are convinced by these sorts of displays. Assuming every word is 100% true I’d still never buy what’s being sold. Sam Altman acts like billion dollar used car salesman. Somehow many, most?, people find this co

Thiel actively attributes his entrepreneurial success to Girard’s ideas. I don’t disagree it would be nice to have less explicitly political topics but the reality is that the ideas of those who historically are the discussion of HN, Silico

The parent is saying the status wound is being experienced by those doing the firing and detaining. Another way to state this is that those in power today are out for revenge because they feel as though the past ~50 years has been punishing

This piece addresses the major thing that’s been frustrating to me about AI. There’s plenty else to dislike, the provenance, the hype, the potential impacts, but what throws me the most is how willing many people have been to surrender them

If anyone is interested in a longer form version of this sort of story I’d highly recommend Ken Liu’s The Perfect Match. https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-perfect-match...

There’s something very comforting about a story like this. Humans have always been humans. The names may change but our fears have been our fears, our ambitions have been our ambitions.

The question though is what is the time horizon of “eventually”. Very different decisions should be made if it’s 1 year, 2 years, 4 years, 8 years etc. To me it seems as if everyone is making decisions which are only reasonable if the time

Yes. It was shorthand for “become examples of how easily utilitarianism can be abused to produce immoral outputs when the calculations have absurd inputs”.

by roxolotl 1y ago
It’s wild how when you expose enough people to utilitarianism some of them become utility monsters. We’ve seen it with effective altruists(the modern ones not Singer’s initial conception), zizians, and I guess now efilists. We really need m

A family member experienced the muscle wasting side effects of statins. They didn’t even need them but they were overweight so their doctor thought it was a good idea to put them on statins. Took months to figure out what was wrong and it c

While I do not agree with it the common argument against indiscriminate money printing is inflation. Given that we are exiting an inflationary period and likely entering another it will be interesting to see what they say this time.

I’ve been writing a lot of functional lisp lately for the first time and one thing that’s struck me is how easy it is to refactor. Because a form can always be reduced to its result, you can pluck them out, move them around, and evaluate th

I think the trauma argument is spot on here. The pandemic exposed the tenuous nature of the system we all exist in and for many that was simply too much. It is a deeply disconcerting thing to really sit with the knowledge that we depend upo

So taking this as the thought experiment it is what I’m struck by is that seemingly most things will completely deteriorate in the first 10-15 years. Is that accurate? Would switches mostly fail by the 10 year mark if not replaced? I’ve bee

I think the desire is a stupid one, not a malicious one. If you read through their documentation and their statements they seem to think this is a positive outcome and genuinely desire it.
