A few simple rules worked for me: - start with zero skills - add a skill if you encounter behavior that you want to ward against or if you want to associate a meaningful phrase with a certain method of doing things - NEVER c

This looks very promising. It would be cool if support for Bonsai-style models would land in mainline MLX soon, looking forward to trying it out. It seems PrismML has implemented a better version of an idea I had a while back: what if we ha

I know this is an outsider position, but I always felt that the AoC leaderboard was a mistake. Very few people had the time, the commitment, and the capability of making it on there in a meaningful fashion, and it put an emphasis on somethi

Exactly. And as implied by the term techno-feudalism, the owners are okay with a greatly reduced economy, and in some cases a severe reduction in quality of life overall, as long as they end up ruling over what's left.

I had to try this gem, it's my new benchmark! o4-mini-high also fails spectacularly, even after repeated feedback. However, 4.5 (the impractibly large demo model) gets it right: It’s a nonsense twist on the classic lateral thinking pu

Yes, skip would be good, but I'd also advocate an option like "I reject the premise of the question". In legal contexts yes-or-no answers can work because the case can in theory be boiled down to guilty or not. If there is a

What you're describing sounds like the curvature or topology of space would be non-flat. AFAIK this hasn't been completely ruled out, but so far every piece of evidence suggests the universe is flat over vast distances. Intuitivel

Or even simpler: if cells are just machines, then there is no reason why a computer couldn't perform the same operations. I'm not a philosopher, but I believe this comes down to materialism vs a belief in the supernatural. Having
