    Have you compared it to the synthetic 5-MeO-DMT experience and if so, is there a noticeable difference in your experience?

    Funnily enough, people attributing "smart sounding" quotes to Aristotle has been a headache for historians for as long as Aristotle's writing has been around. The more things chang…

    So glad to see that you are still involved and have your inspiring enthusiasm! Meeting you was a huge inflection point in my journey with ML/AI.

    As well as the existing intelligence being swayed by emotions, hormones, circadian rhythms, stress, peer pressure, propaganda, and survival instincts.

    Very true, it is difficult to even find an opening for the training to start the process, the schools are limited and have short enrollment windows that are fiercely competitive (a…

    Climate migration as an individual is not a viable solution to the problem we face, regardless of the method of travel.

    No offense, but using air travel to avoid climate impacts is a bit ironic and part of the reason we’re in this mess. No need to fix the root cause, I’ll just fly somewhere cold dur…

    To the downvoters: this was a genuine, good faith question.

    Does HuggingFace not have trusted partner verification? Or is it that even with that verification the content of the messages is still blocked because they are attack commands?

    Anthropic (and probably OpenAI) can technically flag anything for 'safety' and view it, I'm not trying to imply that they are doing it arbitrarily, but they do have a way to do it …

    Fable in Cowork can get stuck in loops, I've had a single prompt use 83% of a session quota on a single prompt before I realized something was amiss. Its explanation: "the wasted t…

    Happy that research time is being put towards this, however a fuel use decrease of ~0.75% is a bit underwhelming for this particular endeavor, even when consumer cars/vans are 10% …

    I resonate with that feeling, but on the other hand the humans reading the output will receive a pretty big boost in inspiration; new answers usually prompt new questions.

    I don't mind the subtle ML integrations that they have put in the photos app: plant ID, recognizing faces, removing background, OCR text search (even for handwriting!), etc.

    I partially agree, but in this case it kinda illustrates that it may not be worth using Terra on any reasoning level below high; those are some awful penguins on bikes.

    My first thought was the people capturing encrypted data in the hopes that quantum computing can crack it in the foreseeable future.

    Hopefully there is some sort of version history implemented or planned like they have in Cowork[0]... this sounds great until a co-worker hijacks your Claude session with a worse i…

    I made a rough version of this in 2024[0], interesting to see that the idea is still around. I had the ability to set "quality thresholds", but it didn't seem to matter, the fronti…

    One of the best lessons I've learned was that the happiest I've been (so far) was a time when I was dirt poor, while chasing my dream that everyone assured me ends in poverty. Thin…
