Has anyone bounced these kinds of Agents.md through practical benchmarks?

keywords are a start but not enough imo - consider a concept subscription such as "any of my political representatives making statements about firearm control"

Lots of bashing here so I feel compelled to say my piece that GoPros, despite their flaws, are still the best action camera in the market for many people, including me. They have a…

This is going to happen, but it's too expensive for your LLM to do the scanning, and instead someone needs to build and maintain the index while allowing other people to subscribe …

I disagree, their findings should generalize to the frontier. Even if the latest can deal with the extra complexity, it stands to reason it will take more tokens to do less. This c…

I think you can do it without any biometrics at all, although using it as a second factor could make it smoother. I'd propose the primary factor is social - when a child is born th…

I think it would make the web MORE anonymous, not less! The reason it's hard to boot up a secure social network (such as Signal) is the handshake for (re)identifying people. Signal…

Let me try anyway (maybe I'm a masochist) First I'll say the government already has an ID system with a backdoor they mandate you use (your federal social security ID and state ID)…

It's so obvious to me states need to create a soul bound identity system, replace social security numbers with it, and then let everyone else use cryptography on top of that (which…

Everytime I've asked a model to write it's Agents/Claude file it's been pretty bad actually, are you sure writing these files is actually in distribution right now?

> they need a corresponding level of enforcement Yes 100%, that's why the government needs to offer it, make tampering a serious offense, and dynamically defend its integrity from …

Yeah one reason I think the government has to offer this is usability. While you can imagine a purely p2p protocol between cypherpunks, for everyone else there needs to be a way to…

Yes that's the idea, once you have the soul-bound eID the ZK part is trivial, but the eID with the guarantees I outlined is not at all trivial.

Sorry the term of art is really soulbound identity right now, I use POS but it's less common. Definitions vary but I say a useful system must allow people to endorse statements wit…

We really need proof of soul systems to exist, extended to also have a proof of citizenship. While the proof of soul systems can plausible be done in a decentralized manner, proof …

Some friends just made this: https://www.congressionalrag.com/ - they need help from anyone interested, especially around pulling in more data sources.

This is not obvious to me! For example, if you locked me in a room with no information inputs, over time I may still become more intelligent by your measures. Through play and refl…

Bank of America has started refusing to let me transfer to the new Chase account for Wise US, saying their account has been flagged for fraud.

Exactly. I think people want to be treated like owners more than they want an obtuse legal status of being an owner. In other words, a seat at the table when strategic objectives a…

This analysis has been done several times. To the best of my knowledge, even the covid policy contrarians don't see a a problem with its obvious conclusions. Here, let me google th…

I'd use it for basic process automation, airtable data IO, triggering marketing campaigns or slack bots, etc. It's a heavy weight feature request but if I could lean on it in the w…

Whoops - added it. Thanks!

Sometimes someone links me to Ayvri (due to our overlap here) and it's always super impressive. As the capture tools get better, and something as sturdy as a GoPro can capture stab…
