brna··on Grasping Reality: A field manual for contributing to reality
This is AI co-authored, openly so. I also tried very hard to make sure it wasn’t slop. Also, the only reason I’m sharing it as a free e-book is that I see value in it.
brna··on Windage – free browser remake of Scorched Earth
I am kinda too young to play the original but as I love worms I also like this. Nice game. How similar is it to the original?

Exploration of theoretical futures where Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) emerges, could it be a natural continuation of life as we know it?
brna··on Tomato nostalgia as I relive my Croatian island childhood
So, there is this guy in Croatia who specializes in collecting, cataloging, and sharing tomato seeds for free. He also creates his own varieties.

A big kudos to Dražen from volim-rajčice (<3 tomatoes)

brna··on Possible Futures – Exploring Possible Tech Futures: AI, Ethics, and Humanity
The post "On Possible Futures" explores the intersection of AI development, ethical considerations, and their impact on society. It delves into speculative scenarios to provoke thought on how technological advancements may shape humanity's future.

@andrewp123 cool blog post, tried the experiment like this (the result - 0 is kinda of anticlimactic):

Statement: I will make a minimal BTC transfer today, May 11. 2024, as near noon UTC+2 if the outcome is 1/true.

Result: [ { "0": 0.5140027374683648, "1": 0.4859972625316353 } ] So now we have(will) also split the bitcoin hash forever in more than 2 different branches (I guess way more than 2).

@andrewp123 Check my blog post. https://initsix.dev/in-finite-central-curve/ ,feedback appreciated :D

brna··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
Maybe, that would be funny. ~7 requests per minute would be a more dev-friendly way of enforcing the same quota.
brna··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
Hi Jeff, Great work, Respect!

I just hit the daily limit on the second request at https://climate-api.open-meteo.com/v1/climate

I see the limit for non-commercial use should be "less than 10.000 daily API calls". Technically 2 is less than 10.000, I know, but still I decided to drop you a comment. :)

brna··on The Password Game
F... the on fire part :D
brna··on Ask HN: Where to have good discussions online?
No idea

    My solution is to "meditate" on the ideas and write blog posts, so that I don't bore my friends with the topics, anyone can read the blog or contact me if they really want to.

Some time ago, I wondered if there was a way to be able to orient ourselves in an infinite multiverse. You know, the type where every option that could ever happen and every decision that could ever happen happened somewhere. In that kind of multiverse, we could think about our choices and their repercussions as being at the spear-tip of infinite possible universes...

Also, all art illustrations were done via DALL·E on the first or second prompt try. The prompts that were used are available under the images.

brna··on Ask stupid questions as a new software developer
At the end or start of the work day works best for me.

After lunch break or meetings is also great.

brna··on Happy Hacking: Music Implementation in NieR:Automata (2017)
Wow! I am not a gamer, but the sound transitions are really impressive. Nice job explaining it Isao.
brna··on The Case of the 50ms request
Nice, but not perfect:

``` You said: "strace -p $(ps aux| grep server.py| grep -v "grep"| awk -F ' ' '{print $2}')".

To strace the server, first you need to find its PID. You know that the program is called server.py. ```

brna··on Facebook, Apple and Niantic Bet People Are Ready for Augmented-Reality Glasses
No, not yet, but like to daydream :D

The tech is here, or almost here so there is a possibility for development of new ways of interacting with data and integrating it in our lives.

I mean, as a kid I was jealous of the people who experienced the PC revolution. What a time to be alive,but I was wrong. This is the time to be alive if you are into computers and development. I guess the playground is now opened for a big leap forward, and with accessible HW and open source SW, it could be grit and vision that determines who does something spectacular now.

brna··on This Music Video Does Not Exist [video]
Oh, it's human music! Love it.

This is my favorite so far, especially the lyrics :D Had to leave the office, to not disturb anyone with my laughter. https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/classic-pop-in-the-style...

brna··on Sleeping with Half a Brain (2016)
Yes
brna··on Sleeping with Half a Brain (2016)
I was thinking a lot on this topic in the last few months, Jumping out from sleep to check on my kid between 3 and 10 times a night, I noticed that I can awake fully, or not, depending on a conscious decision. It would be great to track that scientifically.
brna··on Transhumanism and Augmented Reality – A brave new augmented world
Insert "search engine" instead of "Wikipedia" and I am sold.
brna··on Transhumanism and Augmented Reality – A brave new augmented world
In regards to the immersive experiences comment, if we share the augmented experience, we could also use AR to statically or permanently build AR layers on top of our physical surroundings, removing the need to buy some of the appliances and decorations that we presently use. Why buy and deliver physical accessories when you can present them via AR. And if we use that kind of setup, our surroundings could be full of immersive experiences.

Thank you. I am putting The Golden Age on the top of my reading list. Any other recommendations?
brna··on A brave new Augmented world – a few thoughts on the near future
...Have you ever walked outsides thinking about all the accessible information on animals, plants, items, or even people? How much information is available on the internet? How many facts have you already forgotten?...

I hope to spark an interesting conversation in the comment section.

brna··on You're enlightened – now what?
Here is my two cents, maybe not entirely on topic.

It seems to me, that an being at peace with it self has no need to change or make progress in any direction.

Human actions, and progress seem to originate from various needs we have, and not from a peace of mind.

brna··on Why some people suffer from a stutter
Just a personal experience: I remember stuttering as a kid, I was able to figure out that I stutter when I can't remember a word fast enough to say it, long story short I was able to train my self to stay silent until I remember the word I am about to say. I think now it is not even noticeable.

I just noticed I am still doing this in the same way, a colleague just autocompleated my sentence. :)

brna··on Convert Markdown to a Mind Map
I am not sure how I will use it, I will need to edit my markdown docs for this to make sense, BUT it is just beautiful!

Thank you!!
