“employment” or “usefulness” isn’t the threat.

you couldn’t “just hit the button” for the same reason that you couldn’t beat AlphaGo at Go. there’s no human alive who can beat AlphaGo, because it is superhuman at this task. now imagine an AGI that is superhuman at every task, including

seems like a great idea. i’m not familiar enough with the domain to know how unique this implementation is.. good luck!

this seems like a pretty significant step towards a sort of “holistic” agent whose past informs its present and future in a more human-relatable way.

bummer that just mentioning someone’s name requires this kind of prefacing

Music definitely works differently in my imagination, but I notice that it also corresponds to very subtle breathing pattern changes. Like I'll be inhaling and exhaling with the beat and maybe very, very imperceptibly nano-humming. or

so far my plan is this (of which i’m currently on step 1): - take online classes through Harvard for a certificate that will emulate the CS background i didn’t get in school - apply to grad schools - get a graduate degree studying AI and co

what about “everything is fine forever” as a possible thing with a non-zero probability of happening (which then does happen)? how does that confound the calculus?

I work for myself, from home. I answer to no nobody (except clients, which I can drop at my own risk if I choose) and I do what I want when I want. it’s both the single greatest development in my life and the scariest. greatest for obvious

window manager plus tmux could probably take you far. i agree that “trivial” frictions like this really add up to stress and work avoidance

great stuff! minor editing note: the first time > is mentioned there is no 1 with it. a bit further down you say “we can drop the 1 from >”.

yes, this. “an unknown amount of windows”. i’d even say an “unknown unknown amount of windows” :)

i’m also (seem apparently to be) aphantastic and draw quite well. it’s just like you say - i “reason” about a remembered shape and light based on facts and physics, not “observation”. i reconstruct how the thing should look based on what i

interesting connections you’re drawing here... from another person who seems to have a similar situation it’s giving me a lot of food for thought

the way you describe your experience matches mine. i often suspect that people who seem to describe the “augmented reality” version are just using the wrong words to describe what you and i are experiencing... seems impossible to imagine vi

i do the same (dotfiles with symlinking script) and it’s mostly great, but I’d recommend against os-specific switching in the scripts and files themselves. it’s the way i’d always done it previously but i switched to git-branch-per-system a

I would have liked to see a bit more comment on the algorithm itself in the article. But I suppose I can find that elsewhere

I dunno, feels outside the scope of the point of the site (and the point of the solar meter on the site). There are already millions of weather stations all over the world.

That makes sense now that you’ve explained it. FYI though I went to it on mobile, wrote a few words and didn’t know about the character limit, got confused about how to post and left :/

Awesome! Does Lofi work on Linux? It would be a fantastic addition to my i3 setup (and the main Spotify player can go nowhere near as small as I want it!)
