RHSman2··on GPT-4 Designed a Programming Language
I’m dumber than you
RHSman2··on GPT-4 Designed a Programming Language
Fast thinking/slow thinking by Daniel Kannerman (and the Unlocking Project) is a book people need to read and understand. When we slow think, we work things out, when we fast think we are parrots.

And our reason is controlled by emotions, ego, intellect, etc, etc: our sentience.

Llm’s are the language model. That is it.

Now we have gone down this path to a very useful tool what’s next is connecting it to something that can understand context and memory.

It’s not so hard to imagine being connected to a knowledge graph of all the things and this evolving into a very capable AI.

It’s like Google v1 compared to Google now. Key words versus semantic seo

The question is when does guessing become a moot point?

AlphaGo guessed it’s way to being the best.

Can something guess it’s way to evolving into a less guessy thing? I think so. Look at us?

I am aware of how it works and used to be ‘it’s ok, it won’t happen’ but now I am actually pretty concerned.

We think GAI as the thing but there maybe a reality that doesn’t require full GAI to completely unhinge us.

I mean, what is the point? It only plays to the negatives of our society. We don’t need it. It allows for ‘do more’ but what cost does that ‘do more’ come with?

It’s a inflamed joint creating sciatic nerve ‘irritation’ and Some disc compression.

Boring is a subjective experience.

He knew Youth now that it was no longer his.

Brilliant.

My MRI on my hip and lower lumbar would tell you other wise.

I am most freaked out that you said iPad!

I felt I had my first life crisis at 27. I felt older and that I should be doing less silly things. That led me to doing what I wanted as I couldn’t bare a life like that. P.s 46 now and coming into my 2nd adolescence

Tendons.

Once beautiful, stretchy creatures that probably now resemble a curmudgeon being asked to be nice to a neighbor.

Been playing soccer with my soccer mad 8 yr old. I too was that guy. Brings me back and I am so much better at technique now but boy oh boy does my hip and lower back hurt the next day!!!

RHSman2··on Childhoods of Exceptional People
Provide the things to allow them to find the passions that enrich their lives while also give them the tools to manage ‘real’ life.

We sent them to various sports but my youngest found football via watching the World Cup, my eldest found swimming as we went surfing and he wanted to be better.

Their choices. We just facilitate.

RHSman2··on Ask HN: How to Deal with ChatGPT Anxiety?
If I ask you a question that requires you to have a set of dependencies to solve you would need to understand the meaningful outcome of them as they were inputs into the next issue. You understand the ‘thing’ not just the associated words to reply. ChatGPT has zero knowledge of the world other than language.

But you know you do, chatGPT doesn’t

It is made to look like it knows and understands. It has mainstream packaging that everyone and their dog can use and postulate on.

However, it doesn’t understand anything of its underlying subject matter.

It simply (!) has accumulated a wealth of information that it chooses the best answer for. Of course, that is very impressive but a thinking machine it is not.

My anxiety is not on the AI but the ability to game human kind and normalization of content. You think everything is quite similar now? Let’s see how it can determine what is new, real authentic human content versus bot rehashing?

People are allowed to be upset. I’m old. And sarcastic.

One is allowed to be upset. Woke

RHSman2··on Loneliness is a measure of self-understanding
I am sure any long term relationship (long) requires the ability to make space for counseling each other.
RHSman2··on Loneliness is a measure of self-understanding
That is great human progress! Knowing that the way you ‘behave’ might not be the best way and not taking it personally! Meta cognition and enlightenment!
RHSman2··on Loneliness is a measure of self-understanding
How are they doing? Perhaps they have stuff going on that you don’t see?

A SO is just like you and the hard part is being able to share and open up. Because sometimes it isn’t right in a relationship and you can feel even lonelier.

RHSman2··on Loneliness is a measure of self-understanding
Humor brings down walls and people allow vulnerability out.
RHSman2··on Loneliness is a measure of self-understanding
When you connect with another human who sees you, life becomes full of color.

I think a lot of our societal issues stem from not being able to connect authentically.

RHSman2··on Ask HN: Do you hate software engineering but love programming?
No I’m not. You are.
RHSman2··on Ask HN: Do you hate software engineering but love programming?
Difference between doing Agile and being agile is the same as education. You can have engineers who are educated well and you can have engineers who get stuff done, well without a high level of ‘education’.
