I'm not a diver but I suspect it can be learned. I have allergy issues that cause my ears to not equalize when allergies are hitting and I think I just learned how to do this. its just sort of muscle that can sort of be lightly control

Somebody mentioned that a solar panel field to power a data center requires a lot of impact assessment paper work and approvals. Whereas natural gas generators do not. Hence the runs on gas turbines, while solar panels are plentiful. ( Alth

It's a writer perspective versus a reader perspective maybe? Sometimes when you're trying to write something, it really seems like the exact words matter a lot. Suggestions made to be more direct or use a more common word here or

Like their fp rate is a lie? It works well in my limited testing.

Except the LLM generalizes its encoding to all english text where as the copy of wikipedia can only 'compress' wikipedia.

Oh wow, so it worked pretty well on data it hasn't seen. That expected but cool to reproduce. Have you seen this leaderboard of sorts[1], and this proposal to change hutter prize[2]? I think it's a really clever idea that you coul

Small world. I just did a podcast on this same topic, but coming at it from a different direction, ie. me and my neighbor trying to beat the hutter prize for compression. Hutter Prize being where you are paid if you can compress wikipedia s

To me frustration and excitement are related. I've never punched the air after fixing some bug that I didn't at some point earlier get extremely frustrated at its intractability.

This is the one thing I remember from my headspace app meditation dabbling. The catching yourself and recentering is the thing.

This! Pangram is very good. They claim 1 in 10,000 fp rate. I had to change my mind on AI detectors after playing around with it. It would be interesting to hear how this detector compares. It also seems to be aiming for low fp rate.

Yeah, he has Steve Wozniak energy as well. Just doing things for the joy he gets from it.

This being posted years ago led me to reach out to Paul and ultimately interview him. It was super fun! You can shoot him an email from his website and he's definitely worth chatting with. He's on hacker news sometimes as well. He

Yeah, my bad. I might have hallucinated the 'force' part. But I'm reading Karp's authorized biography, The Philosopher in the Valley, and it does say names were chosen to be legible to military. Or something like that.

My understanding is Palantir used the term, and calling teams of them "Delta Force" to make a consultative-and-service-heavy software adoption cycle make sense to US Military clients.

It's trivial to determine the best guess at any point based on what options it cuts out. But I ended up building an alphaWordle, using MCTS and a reinforcement loop just to get a feel for how AlphaGo approach to solving games works. It

you may have a personal notes.txt file in a repository that you don’t want to check into git but you also don’t want to add to .gitignore because it’s unique to your workflow. The exclude file lives in the .git directory of eve

Exactly. Competitive pressure prevents a rug pull. In a competitive race, each breakthrough gets copied or illicitly distilled or whatever. That means the frontier models are deprecating assets and the mark up tokens should get smaller and

Or put another way, the frontier models are very quickly deprecating assets, because of the competition in the market. They have to keep getting better to stay ahead of each other and open weight. Which means it's the opposite of a tim

I think its more a fun coincidence. OpenClaw was OpenClaude was it not, but had to change name. When I'm dictating to Claude Code, whisper often outputs 'cloud code' or 'clawed code' for my 'Claude Code.'

Very cool! I never read poetics, but merely heard Aaron Sorkin explain it in his master class. But he was big on it, and explained it was "objective + obstacle = conflict." Sorkin said he loves court rooms for the reason that the

The old version of this question is Aristotle’s Poetics: what makes a story feel like a complete action rather than just a sequence of events? One related thread is John Truby’s Anatomy of Story. His system is a 'story structure grows
