  1. I have Aphantasia and SDAM, so how I experience memories is vastly different from most others. But even for me music helps me to recall memories otherwise lost. I also discovered this trick and use it to get reminded of certain memories or people.
  2. I would be interested how this was done as well. She mentioned the was using a free tier from Google, so maybe the data is not protected.
  3. Did you notice that it includes a shout-out to Bruno Simon?
  4. Yeah, all credibility was immediately lost when I read that. I just closed the tab and put it away as ad piece.
  5. The issue I see is that companies have limited liability. If they mess up, they can just go bankrupt and sometimes pass the cleanup costs on to society.

    Therefore, I think it’s fair that society wants to have a say in what gets done and what doesn’t.

    Maybe a way around this would be companies operating without limited liability. Would you be willing to put your entire fortune on the line in exchange for a fast track through regulations?

    Edit: to clarify: I’m not arguing that all companies should lose limited liability. I’m suggesting the introduction of a new type of company structure.

  6. > whose sole reason for existence is to cut pollution by >90%, and which has demonstrably done so across nearly 100,000 miles of testing and operations

    Then it should be easy to answer that request? Where does the $27M price tag come from?

  7. Sounds like the show extra3 might be interested in your story :)
  8. Same for if you fill < 100 old oil wells with toxic waste? (not implying that anyone is doing that). How to prevent that if you want to build 200 vehicles, you just found a new company? Or 50.
  9. > E.g. "Generate a NotebookLM-style podcast from my saved articles every morning"

    How does it do that? Does it require a tool for that? Or a special model?

  10. Yeah, but how could their secret services then snoop on everyone?
  11. And from that $2 you probably still have to spend something on food / shelter / clothing, so it's not like you could just save it all.
  12. > The other claims that AI will create more jobs than it destroys.

    Maybe it's my bubble, but so far I didn't hear someone saying that. What kind of jobs should that be, given that both forms, physical and knowledge work, will be automatable sooner or later?

  13. That's the corporate design of the industry: Why do AI company logos look like buttholes? - https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=43649640
  14. Ah, excellent. Thanks for sharing.
  15. I like the workflow with Codex more. Though I like working with Claude more. So I wish Anthropic would copy the Codex workflow.

    I like that Codex commits using your identity as if it was your changes. And I like that you can interact with it directly from the PR as if it was a team member.

  16. > LLMs do not have a mechanism for sampling from given probability distributions.

    They could have a tool for that, tho.

  17. If I close my eyes I see the inner of my eye lids. Interestingly very intense visual stimuli can trigger mental images for me. I remember that when I closed my eyes after endless hours of Counterstrike, I would still see the game, tho I couldn't control what I see. Same goes for porn. Sometimes I remember my dreams, which are visual, but I don't think that I experience any other sense while dreaming. As kid I had lucid dreams, which I was stunned of, because of the amount of details I remembered. I just looked at faces of people I knew. Lucid dreaming is still something which I want to try to train.
  18. And when companies with limited liability are involved. Case in point the research reactor in Germany. The company that was responsible to dismantle it just declared insolvency.
  19. Is it possible to get that in Claude Code with Pro? Or is it already a 1M context window?
  20. Citation needed, I guess. There are studies that show that social media platforms drift to extreme content automatically. In Austria there went from a vanilla tiktok account to extreme right wing content, in every county, just by doom scrolling.

    And what happens if you see this content constantly? Not only to adults but also to teenagers?

  21. It can happen quickly. The app itself might be legit, but it may be based in a SDK which is either malicious or compromised.
  22. Unfortunately we are more divided then ever. The algorithms place each of use in its own little echo chamber. And micro targeting makes it easy for people with money to control what each of us is fed in their bubble. Stay united. Don't give up over their perceived power. Don't be a sucker. Easier said, then done.
  23. I guess they are required to store everything for years for "compliance". How else are they are going to save their butts when someone manages to fake their identity through them?
  24. > LLMs are terrible at asking questions. They just make a bunch of assumptions and brute-force something based on those guesses.

    I don't agree with that. When I am telling Claude Code to plan something I also mention that it should ask questions when informations are missing. The questions it comes up with a really good, sometimes about cases I simply didn't see. To me the planning discussion doesn't feel much different than in a GitLab thread, only at a much higher iteration speed.

  25. Yes, there are already videos floating around on how to do it.
  26. What was your prompt? It can freak out in German as well: https://chatgpt.com/share/68e36e43-6808-8001-ab8c-eac4e34afb...
  27. > I feel like there's more to aphantasia than just "can you see the apple or not?".

    There is. I think the definition is still being worked on. Here is an overview, but I don't see your particular case: https://aphantasia.com/article/science/aphantasia-definition...

    Since you can recall scenes you saw, it might not be Aphantasia. Not being able to create visuals of random stuff might be called differently.

  28. Yeah, I am not looking forward to Meta glasses being widely used. But that is probably inevitable. Being anonym in public will be a dear memory from the past.
