I mean, with reliability there's a spectrum. If the risks that an unreliable outcome brings aren't all that bad, then sometimes it's worth it to chase "my agents made an acceptable PR 70% of the time, can I get it to 90?

This is a good discussion topic. A lot of people really seem to believe that if you word a prompt just so, that you just need to throw a high-powered model at it, it will work consistently how you want. And maybe as models progress that mig

The DSM seems pretty far behind the research by now, but I'd be surprised if emotional dysregulation was not mentioned in the next one. Another interesting thing that's not in the DSM - very high likelihood of balance / motor

I am resisting the urge to be very snarky. But how do you know that Claude's hallucinated horoscopes are any less accurate than traditional techniques? Have you A/B tested them?

Yep, I didn't want to have to think about concurrency so my solution was a global lock file on my VM that gets checked by a pre-start hook in claude code. Each of my "agents" is a it's own linux user with their own CLAUD

The software is OSCAR, and apneaboard (a forum) is a good place for that stuff. You should be able to find it from there :)

I think nearly everyone should be screened for sleep apnea. The at-home test you wear on your finger is so cheap - it doesn't make sense not to do it for anyone who has any issues with sleep or tiredness in the day. I always thought th

Really? Agree to disagree. At least in MB I can bike around, get in the ocean, and pig out on seafood. It's not classy, but at least it's cheap. I would never fly there, but as a weekend trip from Charlotte, it's not terrible

State parks are where it's at. But love the Gatlinburg aside. It's like Myrtle Beach, but worse. The Blue Ridge mountains have amazing natural beauty for miles in every direction. So many great towns too - Blowing Rock, Boone, Ash

> Sophisticated AIs are a genuinely new kind of entity... Interesting that they've opted to double down on the term "entity" in at least a few places here. I guess that's an usefully vague term, but definitely seems i

You seem to just be describing Marx's Labor theory of value. It sounds more fair to pay people according to how much and how hard they work, but economically it tends not to work out.

I've read a lot of Holmes recently, and while I'm not a man, I do think Doyle portrays Holmes' issues in a way that is relatable. Holmes core thing though is that he has an almost ADHD-esque craving for novelty and tolerance

He was a physician and had said that his experience treating patients influenced his characters. So, he had more than academic experience, but I'm not sure if it's enough to prove he experienced those things personally.

I'm not knocking it. My parents didn't use licensed daycare for preschool for me or my sister. Just dropped us off at some old lady's house and paid her cash for watching us. 99% of arrangements like that work out fine. It ma

Can't read the whole article, but am curious about how it will impact unlicensed childcare operations. I imagine that the number of parents using these is much higher than many people realize. Will be interesting to see how many parent

We also have one at NC State, still there AFAIK. I thought it made sense though given our nuclear engineering program. I looked it up and apparently we've had 3 or 4 different reactors on campus over the years, first one in 1950: http

Reminds me a lot of AirConsole, which I once had a subscription to. But ultimately it all comes down to the game quality and how buggy it is. If people can't submit their answer or reconnect, that wears down support. But people tolerat

My Father-in-law resisted smart phones for much longer than most, but he's had an android phone for a couple years now and it's really cool how much he's adapted it to his own personal use style. Nobody showed him the "u

I think it's normal for the parents to resent the NHS for this, but from what I've read about about patient experiences, many US doctors believe "chronic lyme" is not a real diagnosis, and that TDOT blood test she took i

I don't think Tux is perfect by any means, but that was my first impression too. It's the eyes. They look dead inside.

Having experienced a few hard losses this year (My dad to ALS, and my cat suddenly a week after my dad), the thing that has surprised me the most is how they show up in my dreams. In some dreams, I'm like "I thought you were dead?

I just process text information better. Videos are kind of overstimulating and often have unrelated content, and I hate having to rewind back to a part I need while I'm in the middle of something. With LLMs I can get a broad overview o

The asking people part was the hard thing for me, always has been. That honestly was the missing piece for me. I absolutely agree that written docs and online content are sufficient for some people, that's how I learned Linux and sysad

I'm one of the people who find LLMs extremely helpful from a learning perspective, but to be perfectly honest, I've met the children of complete "luddites" (no tablets, internet on home on timer for school work, not allo
