Relevant: Antidote to the cult of performance, Olivier Hamant. https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/tracts-n-50-antidote-to-the...

That’s interesting - how do they define that? Surely they don’t publish raw rgb?

This is exactly what I’m doing expressed much more succinctly than I could have done myself. Thanks!

I’m really happy to see this take. It’s not the first time but it’s not said often enough. I once had the thought that anything AI can do really well is probably something that sho…

DAG is directed acyclic graph. A bit like a tree where branches are allowed to merge but there are no cycles.

Wait, lucid dreamers need tells to know where they are?!?

The link is broken - could you repost please?

This. I believe it’s the most important question in the world right now. I’ve been thinking long and hard about this from an entirely practical perspective and have surprised mysel…

There's a better way but it requires a very large space like a big empty parking lot. ...and that's it! Turns out the hard part is not riding a bike but riding a bike in a straight…

Came to the comments looking for this. The term alignment-faking implies that the AI has a “real” position. What does that even mean? I feel similarly about the term hallucination.…

Any recommendations for thinkers writing good analysis on the implications of superintelligence for society? Especially interested in positive takes that are well thought through. …

Off topic but if I may. The way people use percentages to express multiples is confusing. A doubling is a 100% increase. So a 200% increase is 3x, and so on. Then at some point we …

I thought I could only see photons that hit my retina :)

> Why can’t your protocol just be valid JavaScript too? It is.

Interesting timing for me! Just a couple of days ago I discovered the work of biologist Olivier Hamant who has been raising exactly this issue. His main thesis is that very high pe…

I don’t think the word propagate implies push as opposed to pull. Changes do indeed propagate through the system.

Very good point. For some types of problems maybe the answer is yes. For example porting. The reward function is testing it behaves the same in the new language as the old one. Tri…

The “small targeted blasts” thing exists. https://youtu.be/XH-EFtTa6IU?feature=shared

This points towards a big challenge that I think gets overlooked way too often. A lot of these sync libraries/frameworks claim to solve for both real-time interaction, and local-fi…

I'm using Replicache in a big project - this simple fact is a big deal. It's basically the same coding model that all the front-end frameworks have gravitated to (central store, un…

People might remember this showing up once or twice before as Replicache. Reflect adds a fully managed, incredibly fast sync server. The local-first/realtime space is getting busy …

I find them extremely distracting. Evaluating a suggestion is, for me, an entirely different mental process from the creative process I’m in the middle of. The tagline that copilot…

Link?

> So you mean: "non-AI /aided/ project", i.e. using some algorithmic (or meta-algorithmic) writer to output drafts of the code. No, I meant apps that don't use deep learning, LLMs …

I'm not so worried that AI will become so good at coding that I'll be out of a job. It's not clear it's going to happen any time soon, and if it does, the implications for all sort…
