That's god to know, I don't know why I was assuming they were Lithium ion...

"the battery pays back from around 2.5 years onwards" So around 1000 charge/discharge cycles? That is roughly the ability of a battery. By the time you break even, it's time to spe…

Just the first thing I thought of to reinforce the rules. I don't use all my tokens anyway (now), so for me, there's no reason to introduce a point of failure, just reinforce every…

For Claude, I used a UserPromptSubmit hook running inject_rules.py which reads RULES.md from the disk and prepends the whole thing to every prompt. That helps the rules to stop fad…

It's when you don't have the capacity to know how dumb you are that you overestimate yourself, and you overestimate yourself (and underestimate others) far more than those able to …

I know, the long title deserves being said a bit more though IMO

Being in the UK, I'm far more worried about the US than China right now. At least until the next election cycle is resolved. Hopefully, Trump won't start a civil war over not being…

"Top AI adopters outperform across industries" And that is all that businesses will see. All the hand wringing over human rights etc will somehow be discovered to just not be impor…

They generate enough energy to, I mean have you seen racing brake discs? It's just that the energy is spread out over a larger area (brake discs/pads as opposed to a tiny spark) th…

If all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail...

Generally, it is people with a lower ability to understand the world that overestimate their own intelligence because they are unable to imagine anyone being smarter than them, and…

"Then: Give Claude rules Now: Let Claude use judgement" How about no? I am the one who judges.

>>If we put your brain in a jar, would you be a person? This is very close to the question : Would you still be a person if your arms and legs were amputated, and you could not com…

It has been claimed in the past that computers would never think "because they are made of matter" It was a serious statement at the time it was made, but it is clearly ludicrous. …

Ah, the brain of Perseus. If, as you were replacing neurons, you put them together in the same arrangement in the jar next door so you had 2 exact copes, which one is your brain? A…

Ah, the ever present American Exceptionalism. China really does not care what happens within the borders of the US, at least as far as stopping them developing their own models. Ma…

If the rhythm machines were making the beats, your analogy would be sound. Unfortunately, they do not. AI has already started earning good money in music. The Velvet Sundown, for e…

It's like saying that thinking cannot generate new knowledge because all thought is just rearranging the information we get from our senses, or memory of previous information from …

"Consumers are increasingly turning to platforms like ChatGPT to research and make decisions because traditional searches have been ruined by advertising, so it’s important that we…

Ah yes, the eternal golden triangle

"the sentence...is true but unprovable" Personally, I would say that if it cannot be shown to be true or false, it cannot be said to be true (or false). Asking that about that sent…

Indeed. Where do you throw your wooden shoes these days? (Not that it was an effective tactic then anyway)

As I say above, here in the UK we used to have the top rate of tax at 95% of your earnings, and it was the period of fastest growth for poor and middle class people (Boomers at the…
