I find this idea that we need to go through hell to reach salvation to be such a common trope. An unhelpful one. It affects how we see relationships and mental health too. Maybe we should seek out the good things directly and not act as if

I think there are scenarios, however (un)likely that will lead us to this point. Imaging them and spreading such ideas can make that more likely.

I think the point of stories like these is to accept that the world is too complex to fit into a story but we can try to fit a part of it anyway and we might learn something from it or at least get an interesting experience.

Also, set up formulas for calculating speed, torque, forces etc, of each system. Then create a modular simulation library and point and click simulator where all the component variants are covered so that the user can piece new systems toge

Yeah I agree and I think code forges as well as AI harnesses are kinda the killer apps of this (relatively short) era. I think once we figure out how to tighten the loop of user feedback, expert analysis, automatic/static verification

I've tried both incus and firecracker. Both seem to work well after initial script setup. I've got the impression that firecracker should be a fairly safe option for such use cases.

I remember there's at least one serious effort for forge federation. But don't know what it's called or how to search for it. Edit: here's one: https://forgefed.org/

And yet all this power in the hands of the very few are only there because the rest of us don't know any better than coordinating for their benefit rather than coordinating in any other way.

I've used Interrail every time I want to travel a longer distance across Europe by train. Spares me some of the stress of dealing with interruptions since I can often just hop on the next train. Unless it's fully booked...

Couldn't this be a flaw in the attention mechanism? Like they need some kind of grounding. An awareness of what they fundamentally should care about and how the thing they are currently giving attention to relates to that?

It seems like the site is currently getting hugged so I can't look but I'm glad someone is trying to achieve a more minimalistic take on the UX of a software forge. It seems like an area with good room for improvement.

Such competition will only turn into a moat of the hardware suppliers never manage (or choose) to fully adapt to increased demand? But then the real moat should be on the hardware side anyway?

Don't you think that we will eventually get more specialized hardware that will greatly improve efficiency? Running neural networks on GPU:s seem like quite wasteful?

I see at least two potential positives in this: - The frontier AI companies have realized they won't be able to count on gaining ground and earning more in the future through sheer moat. They have to start earning right now. - The play

I guess it becomes different if instead of hiring more people to do more - all investment goes into more AI credits. Then again, as long as there is more demand and there's a limited supply of compute you can still continue to hire peo

> The code it generated was awful. I suppose you could solve that in two ways. Manually rewrite it as you did. Or formalize an architecture and let the AI rewrite it with that in mind. I suspect that either works.

I see two points: 1. AIs aren't yet good at architecture. 2. AIs aren't yet good at imagining technically exciting stuff to build. And I agree that there's still space there to build a career in the short to medium term (plus

And more intelligence should give an opportunity to increase explain-ability rather than just complexity. It can potentially explain the proof at the level of the listener. Make visualizations. Etc.
