The mechanical spider can simply extend its torso or body up. You are only bounded by your imagination!

There's no reason why an ideal body needs to have such a high center of gravity though? Clearly we are wasting a lot of energy and capacity to maintain that balance. I am pretty th…

I am very interested in figuring out how people use LLMs for learning. I definitely have the knowledge, but it is severely autistic in a way. OTOH, I am curious if there's a "pract…

There is but the cost is way, way higher from what I can tell. If I want a customized metal shielding with awkward shapes, I can just walk down to Shenzhen and have 10 people clamo…

The only way this is true secure is that this OS prevents ANYTHING from going out. It cannot make any arbitrary outgoing internet connection. It only has a downstream copy of your …

Yes, I don't. I have my own harness where the agent is only able to do a set of predefined things and none of them involves the internet. However, I imagine the model could be a lo…

What is the best LLM that I can use right now that is optimized for everything other than coding? The last thing I want my personal agent to do is to write up code and run arbitrar…

> Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that's just about the best example possible for using AGENTS/CLAUDE.md. Just add "don't comment about what you removed!11" and you never have …

I don't understand why Result type is necessarily slower. Result that simply bubbles up is basically an exception, no?

This is pretty easy to prove via experiment, no? 1. Pick any topic, 2. purely reading, 3. try to write about it I find myself "thinking" I understood something a lot more than I wa…

I don't understand, this is just a sampling problem? > You can train on every token you'll ever see and every pixel value you'll ever see, you can do regression analysis on every c…

> A malicious dataset abused two code-execution paths in our dataset processing (a remote-code dataset loader and a template-injection in a dataset configuration) I am sure they ar…

To me, this exploits by LLMs just show much of our existing security comes from obscurity. We are (were) mostly secure because people can't be arsed to figure out how to do it. But…

A good thought experiment for this is to replace guards at jewellery stores or banks with a robot. Which one would you feel more safe? Do you trust that the robot won't randomly sh…

I am not sure if we should want to understand how our brain works. This is why I don't like libertarian free will people. We need to accept that we don't have free will. Otherwise …

> What about people with disabilities, physical or mental, who can't get out, old people with no family or family who doesn't care? In theory it would be great if everyone got some…

Unironically just "man up". I get that there are some people that have actual sickness that prevents them from socializing but your little anxiety does not count. Believe me, I kno…

What the fuck is the rationale to make this? I can kinda see the rationale behind Facebook and social media, they _could_ be useful. But this? This is like making a nuclear bomb ou…

> I think this tech is far more important for lonely people who for any reason don't get to socialize much (if at all), this is especially common in older people. Uhm, those lonely…

I really, do not want to have a big server rack lying around at my house. I have a couple of SSDs that are not being used and 3 USB HDD drives. I also have a PN50 that I am not usi…

Age is just one metric. I don't want zero proof tech about information X. I don't want to have an identity. Full stop.

Right now, our identity is kinda tied to a string of letter (password). This password can technically be passed around, created and destroyed at will. Tomorrow, our identity is goi…

What _should_ happen is that we create abstraction. We create a proof for a concept or algorithms. Then we can move on. We need to develop artifacts that can carry proof. We cannot…
