As a side note for anyone who sees this, I received an unsolicited email from "Harold Anderson" (harold@signalvapor.org) but signed "Chris", trying to get me to buy an AI service (nspire.ai). nspire.ai 's company pa

Good idea! On another note, I dig your box of cards. I've recently re-encountered the Commonplace book [1] idea in multiple places (and when two events pertaining to the same object of inquiry occur simultaneously, I always pay strict

Are you finding the French decks helpful? I'm also trying to learn French (not using spaced repetition _per se_ but Pimsleur [which does use spaced repetition, really], InnerFrench, and reading [currently reading _Le Trône de fer_]).

FSRS is really cool. I'm trying to use it and a modified flashcard system to learn more abstract computer science and higher math. I hadn't considered it as a way of learning Chess - that's really interesting. I'm thinki

I ended up giving up on it because my right shoulder is damaged from rheumatoid arthritis. Go where I could not, anon291. May your reeds be clean and your bellows free of mildew.

Really dig the sound of the first one, though all of these are really cool.

You're probably good if: - you're actually listing a job - the job pays money - the job pays a sane amount of money for the region in which you're hiring - you're actually trying to hire someone for the

If you run it in a cluster, does it become a Lemon Party?

There are no incentive structures (besides possibly "posterity") to encourage anyone to see past their noses. In fact, hardly anyone at any level of any organization, public or private, is able to operate with a real longterm, sus

That's actually blowing my mind. Thank you so much for making this comment.

@#$% that's impressive. A little above my budget. I appreciate your response. I read some of your other comments and will follow your career with interest.

lol, yeah, that's an excellent example. I wish I had a stronger background in behavioral economics/psychology or some good connections in academia. The "instantly stop playing" thing seems really extreme and thus _really

What's your GPU setup like? I'm doing a vaguely similar thing - I have a 10" rack minilab [1] and I've vibe-coded an MCP server that runs in the cluster to introspect, etc, but the main longterm goal is to set up some ML

Ah, I think there was a German word for that idea, right? Lebensraum?

My guess would be that they're in a profit vs. loss mindset and thus less inclined to be charitable, community-minded, etc. You're basically forcing them to reason purely selfishly and then wondering why they don't donate. Fo

Oh man, that's super cool. I wonder if techniques like this will be used to investigate other games, possibly contributing to a sort of "family tree" of games kind of like the ones we have for linguistics with conjectured lan

Superpowers + worktrees works really well for me. Superpowers works well at building comprehensive plans for implementing large features or refactors, and asks the questions up front, and then worktrees provide a safe place to actually perf

Cool! I ran this against a personal project and this found a good number of issues. Looking into each of them, they seem to be valid. The run was fast, and the output looks clean and actionable. Thank you!

I don't know anything about anything TBH. I'm just an interested dude. My day job is just working with microservices and stuff, nothing related to AI or ALife. Probably the closest thing I have right now is a p5js sketch with a ge

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in anything, let alone linguistics or language acquisition. Just reporting what I've found. Effective fluency (C2+) seems to be really, really difficult without immersion. Anything past A1 seems to be

I'm trying to get to B2/C1 in French and intend to move to France in 2028. Over the years I've picked up a little Spanish here, took a few years of German there, etc. Recently I read _Erec and Enide_ [1] and it was really coo

This is cool. I envy you for being able to work on projects like this. There's a spectrum of intellectual ability, and I tend to find myself interested in things far lower on the scale - insects, worms, amoebas, etc. I have a strong in
