Could you share the prompts and workflow? I’ve tried this too, but with mixed success when it comes to creating custom tile kernels. I would really appreciate your input!

Chess is even more mainstream and accessible now!

All “fields medalist” signatories - a rarefied and elitist group indeed. I wish this letter could be more egalitarian and include the view points of those who AREN’T the beneficiaries of a highly competitive winner-take-all system. Since th

Palantir is in Lord of the Rings. Which is not a book for children. Maybe you were thinking of the hobbit?

Built a top a pyramid of failed math undergrads, grad students, and mediocre post docs. That half a million total comp is the consolation prize for the disillusioned.

It’s a prisoner’s dilemma. A single mathematician working with AI while all others forebear will clearly outcompete.

If we put aside the idea of credit for a moment, it sounds like human/AI collaboration is indeed super charging discovery.

Math academia was not working well at all. Almost every single graduated from my PhD program wound up working in ads or finance. The gatekeeping in math academia is extremely unfair, or should I say objectively fair but personally unfair. I

I was about to say something similar. If my cushy ad tech disappears (as it seems to be doing), I might as well join in with bringing about the end of all professions.

I’d rather that capability be wide spread and “democratized” than have all of humanity enslaved to the oligopoly holding control of the godhead.

That chess analogy deeply confused me. Chess engines don’t compute win probabilities and choose the highest move. I don’t think a chess engine is an apt analogy at all. In a chess engine, there is a concrete search tree and although it emit

OpenClaw hype didn’t vanish. It opened the flood gates to yolo mode and computer use. Whatever reservations Anthropic and OpenAI had went out the window.

That’s just a counter example I can check by hand with almost zero background. Wiles’s proof will remain a mystery to me.

That is just an extremely defensible lower bound for a single person. Some kind of Lê Chatelier principle applies where if everyone has access to AI then its value is actually diminished somewhat.

LLMs are pretty good at slogging through. When will they come up with brilliant breakthroughs like Andrew Wiles?

I didn’t realize AGI required solving problems modern human civilization hasn’t solved yet. Well by that metric humans aren’t intelligent either! And how many people could’ve actually invented calculus, relativity, quantum mechanics? Are th

For people skeptical of AGI. Consider the following: 15 years ago if you were the sole proprietor of these models, would you be able to hold a dozen remote junior engineer jobs? Maybe even more? These models could certainly pass all intervi

It’s not like diverse personalities and affections are appreciated in the age of corporate work. Might as well drop all the pretense of “bringing your whole self”. And besides, there is only time enough for ONE Mozart in the world.

I’ve used the Gemini flash, but then when I have soul ultra check its work, it found a bunch of cut corners and improper design. As much as I like the speed and interactivity, I really don’t trust it

180 degree was for Rubik’s cube, not this flat cube.

You can’t justify AI company valuations either. Only one of those capabilities can actually deliver kinetic solutions. Meanwhile big tech revenue is delivering ad solutions.

Wasn’t WhatsApp famously created by a team of 20 people? It’s not meta’s contribution to the world. It can be cleanly extracted from the company. Or a replacement created if need be.

That’s no way to live. How can you ever have a family or be part of a community? And what’s your plan for when you’re old?

That’s infuriating.

This isn’t a problem of you use actually capable models instead of wrapping whatever open source junk and pretend you have an AI product.

I know this is an extremely unwelcome comment but I just have to ask… have you considered rust? Especially for a DB. I just had excellent success migrating a go code base to rust completely AI driven. It led to a healthy performance boost t

Yep! I’ve made so many custom apps for myself and family. I’ve made lots of purchases informed by AI that I would otherwise have been too overwhelmed to research. I’ve indexed all my bookshelves like a library just by taking a video and h

Has anyone had mixed experience running Ultra with and without /goal? I come back to it after 8 hours to find it got stuck navel gazing imagined and Byzantine errors.
