Ok, I'm a dummy: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust "pi_agent_rust is a from-scratch Rust port of Pi Agent by Mario Zechner (made with his blessing!)." It's pi, not…

Agreed. The author in question (Linnaeus) was from Sweden and professor at a Swedish university (Uppsala). Latin was used across the board in "traditional" sciences in northern Eur…

Philosophically, pi.dev is exactly what I'm looking for. Minimalist and explicit (YOLO by default, we know it can be trouble but we tell you so). Anyone here using the Rust rewrite…

Very enjoyable article. Isn't the harness basically where the frontier model companies can capture value and create a moat of sorts? I am also curious about building a harness for …

"""People are, in heavy LLM systems, realising that the most valuable commodity is engineers knowing WTF is going on, and that loss of understanding of your codebase is the #1 bloc…

This mindset is called "death of the author" [1] and the quick summary is that the author's intent doesn't matter. Most book people I know disagree with it. [1]: https://en.wikiped…

""" Another prediction is that MOST readers will care about machine-vs-meat as much as they currently care about publishing imprints, which is to say almost none. """ This does not…

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of folks at Google who wish they never published the transformer paper. This is also in line with my subjective experience as someone reading quite…

Looking at the table of contents, I see no mention of Gödel/incompleteness theorems or limitations which is not a great sign. It does look well structured though but I'd probably r…

""" Beyond Zero shifts the trust boundary from the application to the action being performed on a piece of data in realtime—and from after-the-fact investigation to in-the-moment e…

This seems overly pessimistic to me. Of the recent shows I have watched, Andor contradicts it in my opinion. Might even be one of the best shows I have watched. Granted I rarely wa…

I think it's a good time to re-read "A Short History of Financial Euphoria". A classic I always recommend :)

I had the same problem, playing with the speed helped for me. Similar to meditation, I also learned to focus more on the listening. I completely agree that text is better for jumpi…

Listening to audiobooks for me is a learned skill. when I started my mind used to wander off and I couldn't tell you what I just listened to. Now for autopilot activities I'm hyper…

Depends on what you want to read. For fantasy and sci-fi fiction I really like the Youtube community. I did not expect this at all but there are a lot of great "Booktubers" in the …

Fair enough, I understand the UX/interacting with the medium argument. Regarding the processing in the brain, there's claims that "The Representation of Semantic Information Across…

I do not agree with his take on audio books. I find having a book with me and reading at all times as suggested a bit impractical, however for audio books it is way more feasible. …

But a law degree is probably even better. I know what you mean though, consulting companies also hire the (top 1-3%) philosophy majors and math/physics majors for the same reason. …

I find it a bit strange to assume you can only understand these topics with a philosophy degree. My CS degree had a good chunk of philosophy baked in (philosophy of science) and pa…

My anecdotal evidence from France and Germany is that there is very much a trend to look for non-U.S. alternatives which is somewhat recent. It is related to the current government…

It seems a bit odd to me to have a home lab for the sequencing and then feed it to a cloud LLM. I would have thought the point of the home lab is privacy.

And you'd need the DNA of all dogs to boot (unless they are already somehow stored when a dog is registered). But generally speaking, I do like the idea. Also for horse poop which …

I loved this game. First RTS I ever played :)

He basically accused many players of cheating without any real evidence. His proofs are notoriously bad. The most notable examples are Daniel Naroditsky who was under immense psych…
