I'm getting "You've requested a page on a website (radar.koakno.com) that is on the Cloudflare network. The host (radar.koakno.com) is configured as a Cloudflare Tunnel, and Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve it."

Lovely project, I've given it a skim and I quite like the presentation. The only thing that I would work on would be to rewrite a lot of the website copy since it's a bit heavy with the llm-isms, which gives it an unfortunate shee

Thank you for making this, it's very nice. I love a good timeline, everything seems to make a bit more sense when it's laid out spatially.

This is very similar to last week with that mind reading startup thing. Please read the paper before commenting. This is a tool to help researchers in figuring out what different parts of the brain are actually for with less experimenter bi

I want to bring some attention to a spectacular sleight of hand that occurs at minute 4 of this podcast: "The way that I formulate the argument, just to get us started here, is that acts, the things we do, have ends. We act for an end.

The imaging stuff is cool but the homepage is making me wince. There's a compelling argument to be made that the level of detail in "mind reading" they are gesturing at is plain unrecoverable with hemodynamics. There's a

I think that’s part of the point. Execution at its core is mastering the art of projection onto a lower dimensional space. Taking anything from up in the mind out into the real world, be it a physical action, a speech, an artwork, requires

If you read the thinking you can quite literally see it say "I can't just agree with all they are saying, I should find something for a constructive response". I wager that the anti-sycophancy sections in the system prompt ha

Articles like this should approach topics on consciousness with more humility than is displayed here. We don’t even agree on a good definition of what’s going on inside our own heads yet, what gives you the confidence to say that what goes

I have a pet peeve with the concept of "a genuinely novel discovery or invention", what do you imagine this to be? Can you point me towards a discovery or invention that was "genuinely novel", ever? I don't think it

No matter how intricate and detailed an object is, it will appear similar to any other blurry mess if it's viewed through a shoddy lens. I think your point stands for upper level work; however, at medium to lower levels, your counterfa

The point has always been the act of writing itself. What you write about is almost irrelevant; it’s that you spent the time writing, that you had ideas in your head, and that you squeezed them onto the page.

You have strong dedication towards taking things literally. The issue is not that it's limited or unlimited, but rather about expected token usage across a user cohort. When you set a usage limit on something like Claude, or a gym, or

It’s not a literal sublet to someone else, it’s subletting your tokens to another tool. At its core it’s a tragedy of commons situation. Using a third party tool like OpenClaw is augmenting your usage far beyond what was anticipated when th

The fact that you read my comment and decided to clarify and double down is immaculate for my point. Have you taken any class ever on disenfranchising events in history? Also worth mentioning for those in these neighboring threads, the impu

Presuming that you yourself have "graduated" (what from is unclear), it's particularly audacious that you make this claim because it shows rather cleanly how poor a marker of quality an education is. The answer has never laid

There seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread around the human mind's processing of voice sounds. As with most (all?) things we do, exposure is king. This is how we don't die from trying to process infinite dimensional reali

People are bad at distinguishing strange voices in a lineup, yes. That is, anyone in this thread who hasn't heard much of either the NotebookLM or Greene's voice would be a terrible witness. However, the equation changes considera

I think the point is larger than any individual. It involves the environment in which you're located. Infrastructure changes require energy, lots of energy. Increasing quality of life for most things we've built in our world requi

I think "reduce" has always been pipe dream by the de-growth sector. At its core I'm not convinced that humans can ever willfully engage in managed decline. When I say this I mean societies, large groups, cities, etc. Not ind

The conflation of Ehrlich with the LtG team is an extremely dead horse that people should stop beating. The Population Bomb (Ehrlich's 1968 book) was an entirely separate production, with separate teams, separate conclusions, and separ

Haha, what a delightfully backwards way to look at things. This ranks closely with “humans are not part of the ecosystem”. You should look into what carrying capacity means, and in particular how our access to abundant cheap oil enabled us

I encourage you to revisit what you know about the club of rome and what was actually published in the Limits to Growth paper. We have been disturbingly on track for a lot of the variables that were of interest back then in the “business as

doesn't Backblaze largely do backups? as in their customer's already have the files on their own large drives and they need to back those files up, as in maybe you're reading too much into this?

I see what you're trying to say, the issue with this frame of mind, however, is that it appears rather oblivious to the absolutely central role that oil prices have in the economy itself . The price of oil should be viewed as a proxy

by Unearned5161 11mo ago
A bit wild to say the prices have been "similar" for the last 20 years and then cite a source that not only shows a coefficient of variation of 28% on regular prices but one that goes to 31% when you "adjust for inflation&quo

Peak Oil has always and always will be about production rates, going back to Hubbert's paper in the 50s. We never solved the production rate issue, we just threw more money at it, see the shale boom of the 2010s. Relying on "techn

fun fact, the world burns more coal than it ever has. Take a look at Art Berman's talk at UT Austin, humanity has never transitioned off of anything.
