dhanna··on 'Lavender': The AI machine directing Israel's bombing in Gaza
The use of these AI systems are the biggest evidence of the Genocidal rules of engagement from the Israelis.
dhanna··on The Canaan Confederation: A Peace Plan Created Using ChatGPT
For the past 153 days, I've worked tirelessly on constructing a peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict based on my contextual knowledge of the conflict. This is what I've been able to come up with. It's amateur and idealistic in many respects, but it's also the best plan I have seen to date.
dhanna··on [dead]
The Israeli’s are using recommender systems to help choose the targets to strike. This is one of the most consequential, and dangerous developments in Artificial Intelligence yet.
dhanna··on Senate votes to let people who’ve used marijuana work at intelligence agencies
That’s funny because weed shops in DC are a dime a dozen.
dhanna··on We are dropping the Dilbert comic because of creator Scott Adams racist rant
What’s this guys deal? In my head, he’s been salty ever since he got dropped from UPN because they wanted to make money off of black people.
dhanna··on Ask HN: Anyone else struggling to get a software dev job?
I recently got a job this way. It’s not ideal but since I’m coming out of a bad spot mentally, it’s an absolute lifesaver.
dhanna··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
My only experience with Robot was at Juniper Networks, where it was a poorly maintained bastard QA org tech. Would have been infinitely better if DEV’s and QA had a shared repo of python scripts.
dhanna··on Juris Hartmanis 1928–2022
I have a copy of this sitting in my parents basement along with a bunch of automata theory books I’ll probably never have the time to read
dhanna··on The effects of sleep debt
I had a incredibly stressful college experience where I suffered severe sleep deprivation on the regular due to undiagnosed ADHD. I worry that I have permanent brain damage from the experience.
dhanna··on Association between ADHD medication and depression: A 10-year follow-up
The lightning storm of thoughts disappears with proper ADHD treatment, but I think the focus/attention allows me to be more creative/productive, not less.
dhanna··on Apple M2 Die Shot and Architecture Analysis – Big Cost Increase and A15 Based IP
The youngest, strongest RTL engineer I know jumped from Apple to Rivos.
dhanna··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
I’m going through something similar to OP and I did exactly this. Thanks for validating I’m not crazy.
dhanna··on Ask HN: NVM
Thanks, I appreciate this. I’m not in the best state atm, and my writing isn’t that great so I just impulse deleted my post.
dhanna··on Ask HN: NVM
Thanks, I appreciate this.
dhanna··on Ask HN: NVM
Thanks, I appreciate this.
dhanna··on Ask HN: What to do about ‘Good at programming Bad at Leetcode’
My problem is that I hate leetcode and I’m also burnt out from all the nonsense you mentioned
dhanna··on IQ Test Made by Mensa Norway
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/20774089_What_One_I... Here’s an analysis of matrices
dhanna··on How to control the metacognition process of programming?
I’m definitely going to start practicing keeping an engineering journal! This sounds perfect for treating my adhd.
dhanna··on Tinygrad
He inspired me to look up the research on Raven Progressive Matrices: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.68...
dhanna··on If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
I don’t think you realize that web search is the largest computational problem in existence.
dhanna··on Soar (cognitive architecture)
I’ll probably start one at CMU once the pandemic is over.
dhanna··on Soar (cognitive architecture)
Nope, but that’s an interesting application. Cognitive Science is a deep field, and I’ve just started scratching the surface.
dhanna··on Soar (cognitive architecture)
Allen Newell is my spiritual PhD advisor :). I was able to get a copy of both Volumes of the Soar papers. I really hope to be able to emulate him someday.
dhanna··on Ask HN: Any scientifically proven techniques to boost concentration?
Write, in anyway that feels mentally relieving. Whether it’s a journal or a whiteboard.
dhanna··on How Much Does Education Improve Intelligence? A Meta-Analysis [pdf]
The problem is that you’re not smarter than me so why should I trust your test?
dhanna··on How Much Does Education Improve Intelligence? A Meta-Analysis [pdf]
Do you study artificial intelligence?
dhanna··on How Much Does Education Improve Intelligence? A Meta-Analysis [pdf]
Granted that measure is normalized, and my anecdotal evidence does match the feeling of being several standard deviations from the average person.

Maybe my gripe with IQ is that as a theory, I find it intellectually unsatisfactory. I can accept that being good at solving the puzzles they gave me in tag class correlates with positive life experiences.

dhanna··on How Much Does Education Improve Intelligence? A Meta-Analysis [pdf]
These tests are probably measuring something. But I don’t see how anyone with a high IQ can take IQ test seriously.

I’ve been studying the writings of early artificial intelligence pioneers (Minsky, Simon, Newell, Von Neumann, etc) and to think that we can assign an integer measure to the most complex information processing systems in existence seems like one step above pseudoscience.

dhanna··on Pixel prevented me from calling 911
This is a serious issue but the low brow takes here all ignore the fact that computers are extremely complex and buggy as hell.
dhanna··on Whitehead and Russell’s Principia rewritten in Coq
I really meant the 3 separate volumes :)
