We are each a nest of functional dependencies. Perhaps discernment is the ability to know which to introspect. Some people absolutely need to know where the water comes from, some do not.

It's really not that entirely. I've been attending for the past 20 years without networking once. I design and build and run and strike my camp. It's great and zero people try make do anything else. I am sure there are certain percentage of networking striver types but they're flotsam on the sea of the ongoing "artistic rebellion" required to make it happen.

Context for non-Los Angeles residents: the San Gabriel Mountains are those seen looming behind downtown LA in many photos.

Also probably context for many LA people, as most seem to consider those mountains a Hollywood backdrop, not a place you can be in 90 minutes from anywhere in LA (with favorable traffic).

I find this "traitorous to the human species" interesting. You could not form these thoughts without an accumulated knowledge stored/accessed outside human biology. No other species forms such explicit thoughts because they lack access to that accumulated pattern of useful sequences. We've already "transcended" our biology in that sense. Who is directing... that becomes interesting in new ways once outside-a-body sequences start to accumulate. My guess is that it's that accumulation that sets the trajectory, just as DNA's "accumulation" of useful sequences produced forms fit for the local environment(s).

I tackle these ideas/questions head-on using Claude to help book-shape the result. https://spine.zice.app/jeremy/the-smaller-infinity In my view, the accumulating density of useful language/token patterns is the real story, not who/what is processing them. There is no "why" other than the universe's physics permit such accumulation, but that doesn't make the "how" any less interesting. You can click the header and copy the whole thing to clipboard, ask your favored agent for summary/conversation.

Holding symbols in a useful order durably and accessibly is an ongoing energetic event. How/why does it happen?

Same problem, in-progress book about language and thermodynamics gets flagged. Their classifier is just a regex I guess?

Apfel is very useful, thanks for the effort.

I think the key thing is that Spotlight is now creating a... knowledge graph? of everything on your device for Siri's consideration. That's potentially very useful.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Came here looking for someone mentioning this very issue. Did they not even view the model's output once? So strange.

We're hardwired to fear the rustle in the grass, and successful infrastructure gets backgrounded. Pain is a signal. How much time do you spend contemplating your skeleton outside of pain-related skeletal events?

Macs don't need Apple accounts at all. I just set up three Macs with no Apple accounts, not needed for intended use. They all work fine. Apple accounts are only needed if access to Apple services is desired.

That you have the mental capacity/structures/language to form the thought should indicate the trajectory you're caught up within. It's disappointing that everything not's resolved during the blip you're you but even a moderately long view provides evidence for optimism.

I do something similar with my Curation Engine outputs. Interesting to get photorealistic outputs on a GPU via language pathing instead of photons.

After reverse-engineering and documenting the Claude Code log format by analyzing 236,000+ events of my own operation

Seems like the exact same thing, from front page a few days ago: https://github.com/obra/superpowers/tree/main

It's interesting (to me) visualizing all of these techniques as efforts to replicate A* pathfinding through the model's vector space "maze" to find the desired outcome. The potential to "one shot" any request is plausible with the right context.

What are your concerns?

Absolutely. Huge claim with zero examples is hmm.

> Now, some might interject here and say we could, of course, train the LLM to ask for a calculator. However, that would not make them intelligent. Humans require no training at all for calculators, as they are such intuitive instruments.

Does the author really believe humans are born with an innate knowledge of calculators and their use?

Yes, on WebXR and Unity-based “fully immersive” projects. Usually 8-10 hours a day, though not straight through.

I’m guessing this is the tool behind the Vision Pro’s Photos.app’s 2D-to-Spatial feature which produces excellent results. It truly improves most photos significantly.

Using it in a dark room is weird at times. The pure blacks create the strange illusion of holding something lit that you cannot see.

Please elaborate.

All blanket statements are false.

Accrescent hype is comically overdone.

Well then it's both?

Couldn't get it to show up in search but the link works, thanks again.
