I've put my email in my profile, if you want to join the email thread, then send me an email :+1: If anyone else wants to join the email thread for a Berlin HN meetup, ping me an e…

Just sent out an email thread to those that have emails in Berlin!

I would counter and say it’s understanding that makes the difference. Having an AI generate 50 lines of code that you assume will do the job is a little different to creating a flo…

I think of myself as a thought hoarder - my anxieties center around not wanting to forget a thought, no thought left behind because I never know when that thought might (or might n…

Look up MAD[1] and then think about what Trump/OpenAI are trying to do in limiting access to open weighted models. Then think about how effective such a ban will be. What is the ne…

> viable solution Please define viable solution. It's like a piece of string: how long is it? It's a very subjective statement "6 weeks to find a viable solution" - could just as w…

> But those questions feel slow because they remove the little dopamine hit people get from motion. An AI won't have written that - that would imply that AIs would be criticising t…

You mean, Google lasts because it won one.

Can someone please create CRAZY as a Service! For those old enough to remember MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), it is time to become CRAZY (Cyber Recursive Annihilation, Zeroing…

> And the genius of the Turing Machine (and equivalent) is that at the foundation of things, you do not need a lot of symbols and a lot of rules. I think at the core of our argumen…

Sure, I can use ascii graphics to represent 2D shapes in text but that's not a direct representation of the original object: \ | / .-'-. -- ( ) -- `-.-' / | \ That's a sun. Much li…

My approach is to start out with a 2D programming environment and once that becomes a general programming environment, to scale that up to 3D and explore how to map 2D to 3D. So fi…

So the textual representation of the Mona Lisa would actually be more suitable and beautiful? It's surprising that there is any art at all if 1D textual representation is the ultim…

Perhaps making the notes as ugly and boring as possible will push folks off physical money onto trackable digital money that is just as soulless as the buildings on the notes.

Plenty of people don't care, they don't care because they don't like their boss, they don't like the company, they don't like the product, they don't like themselves. AI and vibe c…

Industry consists of humans, humans can change this collectively. It's still peer pressure. If you don't resist, don't complain. You won't be able to sell your craft, correct. That…

Then train your agent on the Bible. Honestly, all the agent did was duplicate human behaviour and that better than the human. The agent was trained on human data and did what any o…

Howabout: just turn off AI. I scanned the article, never made it to the bottom, didn’t find the point the author was trying to make. Howabout just learning to code better as a huma…

In the context of the times it was the aim of Europe to integrate Russia into the EU zone. Who gave Russia all that money to convert to capitalism after the fall of the wall? The U…

Indeed, plus miles behind in tech and seemingly doing everything to maintain that. Although the government will invest in “startups” which meant that one defence (probably drones) …

Much like OpenAI yesterday: “our safety container for model testing failed completely… we have to ban open weight models so that we can corner the market” - win-win for everyone, e…
