Take a gander at the OpenWorm project. It's a great example of how simple neuronal activity is (given details like the connections, number of receptors, and transmitter infrastructure). SOTA models of neuronal activity are simple eno

I worked on the Human Connectome Project. If they freeze the vesicles that deliver transmitters and make them analyzable, you've got all the information you need. In terms of a modern ANN, it's the connections (axons) and the weig

I love this conundrum. I have a good analogy. 10 years ago, I was convinced that a 24-inch 1080p monitor at arm's length was perfection. There could never be any reason to improve over it. I could do everything I ever wanted to, to a s

Yes. Not a drug in the typical sense. Simply replacing the protein in which the mice are deficient (that was identified by measuring levels in human spinal fluid).

Peter often reiterates that he doesn't recommend the use of open models for OpenClaw. They're much weaker when it comes to prompt injection, being the main reason. I'd be interested to understand the security measures put in

The joke is that Willie Nelson has used very high concentrations simultaneously frying his brain cells and staving off Alzheimer's.

at present, it's just a fun discussion the complexity of advanced connectomes is so far beyond our imaging capabilities that we have no way of knowing how far away from understanding intelligence we are

see the open worm project to get an idea of what artificial neuronal architecture requires to express anything meaningful. (and an interesting ethical perspective on digital consciousness.) my point being that the number of neurons is fairl

Ah, that's a good point.

This will be a Harvard Business case study on market share. Claude Code was instrumental for Anthropic. What's interesting is that people haven't heard of it/them outside of software development circles. I work on a volunteer

It's impressive, even if the books and the posts you're talking about were both key parts of the training data. There are many academic domains where the research portion of a PhD is essentially what the model just did. For exampl

This makes a lot of sense to me. I've heard Codex CLI called a scalpel, and this resonates. You wouldn't use a scalpel for a major carving project. To come back to my earlier comment, though, my main approach makes sense in this c

That's a good point. I'm not familiar enough with the various moats to comment. I was just talking at a high level. If transformers are HDD technology, maybe there's SSD right around the corner that's a paradigm shift fo

Yes, I only plan/implement on fully AI projects where it's easy for me to tell whether or not they're doing the thing I want regardless of whether or not they've rewritten the codebase. For actual work that I bill for, I

I'm suprised there isn't more "hope" in this area. Even things like the GPT Pro models; surely that sort of reasoning/synthesis will eventually make its way into local models. And that's something that's a

I'd encourage you to try the -codex family with the highest reasoning. I can't comment on Opus in CC because I've never bit the bullet and paid the subscription, but I have worked my way up to the $200/month Cursor subsc

Personally, I'm fascinated by the opening for protocol languages to become relevant. The previous generations of AI (AI in the academic sense) like JASON, when combined with a protocol language like BSPL, seems like the easiest way to

I'd be interested to hear some use cases people have for large contexts on an 8B model. Other than sentiment analysis or summarization (this release implies agentic use). My experience with the general intelligence of agentic interacti

You just need a robust benchmark. As long as you understand your benchmark, you can trust the results. We have a hard OCR problem. It's very easy to make high-confidence benchmarks for OCR problems (just type out the ground truth by ha

I was hoping there'd be more discussion about the model itself. I find the last couple of generations of Pro models fascinating. Personally, I've been applying them to hard OCR problems. Many varied languages concurrently, wildly

How do you compare Claude Code to Cursor? I'm a Cursor user quietly watching the CC parade with curiosity. Personally, I haven't been able to give up the IDE experience.

My concern was specifically about other devices on the same home network, outside the homelab, becoming vulnerable. I don't remember the details. Not relevant to you if you don't want to use cloud-native services. Personally, I li

Interestingly, you say this. During my AI-driven research that led me toward tunnels, I found that VPN was the less secure approach. For SSH/Mosh, for example, I chose a WARP tunnel. I set it up with a certificate that expires immediat

by vercaemert 9mo ago
You can create a tunnel from a cheap VM (or appropriately sized set of VMs) in a cloud. It's a different, new calculus. The result is still that you have the same server power in your home, if that's what you want.

According to the current mathematical model we use to define the universe, built from Einstein’s field equations, we’re not in a simulation. The said model is significantly misaligned with human perception regarding the start and edges of s
