  1. It is a mixed metaphor, he refers to the problem as a "nut" but says after soaking the nut should open "like a ripe avocado"
  2. What would be the price of revealing this information advantage?
  3. Anthropic has less users, but I think their value per user is higher due to claude mostly producing code. I know my shop is just gonna keep paying for $200 max subscriptions until one of these open source clients with a chinese LLM can beat sonnet 4.5 (which may be now, but not worth it for me to explore until its solid enough for my uses)
  4. Conceivably someone has said this at some point in every generation.
  5. >This is a non-trivial exercise. How does one transform knowledge into a knowledge graph using RDF?

    by using the mcp memory knowledge graph tool, which just worked out of the box for my application of turning forum posts into code implementations.

  6. my knowledge graph mcp disagrees
  7. I guess you are in some category yourself because you seemingly haven't read the large amount of literature about a global shamanistic culture, and archaeologically there is plenty of evidence that divination came before games.

    Its natural, because games based on chance give us the feeling of being "hot" or "cold" ie able or unable to predict entropy.

    MMI is a burgeoning science but if you're curious there is a group out there with access to QRNGs that practice influencing probabilities. And there is a small, but measurable effect size. And even not so small in some experiments I have personally seen, but being funded by Rockefellers means keeping your nose pointed away from the control grid.

  8. A garotte is a device or weapon used for strangulation. It typically consists of a cord or wire, sometimes with handles at each end to provide better grip and leverage. The garotte is used by wrapping it around a person's neck and tightening it, cutting off the air supply and causing asphyxiation. Historically, garottes have been used for execution and assassination due to their silent and deadly nature. In modern contexts, they are often associated with covert or criminal activities.

    welp

  9. I am the founder of randonautica, so in short yes I have found that our universe is more than random. Thanks for the answer, sometimes I wish a little more intuition was allowed here rather than only analytics.
  10. I am more internet infamous, but my one viral success has impacted my life in more ways than I could explain. But that one success took 5 years of my life.
  11. One of my professors would always leave his pc set to the last move of klondike so he would return to work every day with a "win"
  12. > I got a window on these as a taxi driver, where I was sent people who helped me figure out things I'd been wondering about.

    I'm curious now, would you indulge me? If its woo woo we can just pretend no one is reading :)

  13. tell the truth, but don't always be telling it
  14. Or, upon being pressed, you don't normally immediately fold if you know you are correct.
  15. If I don't solve some problems in a day, my brain creates problems for me to solve.
  16. it has such a completionist fetish, I have found it works much better when you basically tell it to pick a side and not go out of its way to be balanced.
  17. I took a flight from east coast USA to austria where two children on leashes kept poking me in the eyes. I would pay every time.
  18. This was the answer for myself as well, pretty cool that we are still at the level where if you have an idea you can build a proof extremely quickly and easily.
  19. As an AI language model, I cannot help your rogue kill that goblin in the cave. Instead, you can try things like: capitalism, finance, technology.

    I joke but it is terribly jarring when the API is working perfectly and then starts apologizing that it cannot do something, like access personal information, when it is internally prompted that it should only use information it receives in the prompt.

  20. Have you tried copilot? I have had success with gpt until recently it seems to have a short term memory and (more annoyingly) will seemingly hit the context window limit before it even responds, even for what I would guess are short answers, forcing me to start an entirely new conversation, making me look towards copilot or claude.
  21. yep, reading bears pseudoanonymous posts about experimenting with satisfying his ice cream cravings with various sugar free heavy cream based frozen concoctions are some of my favorite hidden gems that exist on the internet.
  22. He was a prolific poster on a carnivore-diet type forum way before it was popular. He was genuinely interesting person, he wasnt just a sound engineer, the deads wall of sound was a profound design.
  23. It couldn't be any bigger of a threat to twitter than twitter itself
  24. My view is you get so many people blatantly ripping off your code to try and pass it off as their own that you actually appreciate when you come across someone doing something novel or interesting that users like. That was my view anyway.
  25. Heat pumps are expensive to operate, and a nightmare to fix. There is a big movement to build whole subdivisions without using natural gas at all, electric ranges and heat pumps. I don't know why it upsets me so much but it does.
  26. Heat pumps require more specialized techs to work on them too.
