elar_veroleon Agents that run while I sleep

Living in Paris, but I exaggerated rent is actually 600€ and it's like the best opportunity one can have. Still, even if I lived in a regular flat with 1000 euros rent, I don't see how 20% additional "rent" money is worth it for side fun projects

I just don't understand where these people get all this money. The answer is often "oh it's just claude max" like man I don't have 200$ MONTHLY lying around ?? That's half my rent

It's just the equivalent of that one student restating what the teacher just said with no added value

elar_veroleon Gogi – An AI-powered terminal assistant with native device-code OAuth

Yes this is just for google - probably should add a disclaimer that it might not be allowed for google users. I still think it's a neat idea

elar_veroleon Gogi – An AI-powered terminal assistant with native device-code OAuth

Hey - imo this is a pretty good idea, but the login you are using is basically spoofing that your app is Gemini CLI to google. As we saw (yesterday I think ?), this can get people's Google accounts banned, so I wouldn't use this / would recommend people against it.

Sorry to sound rude - but you polluted the context, pointing to the fact you would like A, and then found it annoying it tried to do A ?

elar_veroleon Prediction markets are ushering in a world in which news becomes about gambling

Heavy regulation, harder to anonymize, and overall less person exposed to insider info because you can bet on only a subset of stuff, and not everything that can ever happen. Mind you, I still think these existing financial markets do have a ton of issues of this kind (trump's tariff to manipulate the market is a very recent example), but why add more on top of it ?

elar_veroleon Prediction markets are ushering in a world in which news becomes about gambling

I think you are underappreciating how "manipulation of poly market odds" can be destructive when you are betting on geopolitics. Here this means that every decision is now a conflict of interest, and that doing the unpredictable (politically, economically etc) has a financial incentive for potential insiders. Sounds pretty dangerous to me.

elar_veroleon Dark Forest Theory and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (2023)

Each agent has 3 available actions. Performing an action costs the agent resources. Currently, resources are allocated arbitrarily, based on the agent’s perception of how much such an action might cost in a real environment.
1. Broadcast own position - Cost: 7 resources
2. Private message own position - Cost: 5 resources

3. Kill other agent if their position is known to the killer - Cost: 10 resourcese

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but OF course if the only options an agent have is to kill someone it knows (and it costs resources) or make itself known, the better option in the end of the process is to never be known.
