The complexity is certainly awesome, however there are all kinds of "free lunches" that we can take advantage of here, I'm paraphrasing (and glazing) Mike Levin here - when you work with biological systems, you are handling a

lovely, but needs sound and an altimeter. i went flying over NZ, the controls got really laggy, hence the chaotic experience... https://filebin.net/jltba21fn87ea5pm

Coming from the blockchain space, but wanting to build something with bright patterns, while also using DLT and crypto, has been painful, to say the least. I would like to know how best to stand out from the toxic, finance-driven world that

I really love it when people put spirit into a piece of writing that, thanks to an algorithm (that's another name for AI, by the way) suggests it to me on HN. I am pleased that I can share musical discoveries with friends that were rec

the author is not describing the world. they are describing their experience of it. classic mistake, and quite an anxious version of it. it's not wrong, but it is tangled in the waves... people who choose to live in deep in ignorance d

We have CNC machines, and we still have sculptors. Mechanising the production of code is good thing. And crafting code as art is a good thing. It is sign of a wider trend that we need to look at these things like adversaries. I look forward

I love the idea that we believe that we can replicate all of the natural processes involved in getting a tan, and to such a precision that we can then speed up the process 10 fold, and that we can fit it all into a single unit that can be w

..and most people problems are communication problems. Calling them 'people problem' is a convenient catch-all that lacks enough nuance to be a useful statement. What constitutes good communication? Are there cross purposes? >

This piece feels like an AI-generated effort because it’s not so much an exploration of leadership challenges, but rather a series of surface-level observations that lack depth. It's not just a general overview, but a collection of fam

My idealistic part says that a combination of AI-driven technical orchestration (much more than just coding) and orbital/langrange manufacturing facilities could, perhaps, get somewhere in the not ridiculously distant future (centuries

the clustering isn't surprising? are you saying that it is an artefact of the higher level representation? special - perhaps not by itself, but when the same strategy is also expressed by single cell organisms, at least intriguing

trouble is, i'm more engineer than mathematician, so while i appreciate that this is an entirely solvable problem, assembling it from scratch would likely mean many errors, and less fun the 3d plot is nice but not what i would call &qu

Taking it a step further, how would simple algorithms behave when viewed in this way? Rather that just the outcome, we could observe a possibility space... Michael Levin has talked about interesting dynamics with the bubble sort algorithm,

My first thought was "how can i do this in 3d and walk around it in VR?" I can do the VR part - any chance you can share the algo, so I can get the machine to lift it? I can imagine a 3d graphing tool would need spatialisation in

are we allowed to have any colours, though? but really, every person i've seen who "activates" a lifestyle like this one only ever seems to wear black. i suppose it's the choice of any committed rationalist, but i think

I was also intrigued by the machine's reference to it, especially because it posed the question with full recognition of its machine-ness. Your comment about the generation of emotions does strike me a quite mechanistic and brain-centr

I appreciate your optimism, however your position seems to point a willful blindness to the agenda that oil producing countries have maintained. What is hidden to one person may be apparent to another, and completely missed by a third. I ab
