Replay of Jeff Hawkins group’s A Thousand Brains theory?

Thank you for sharing this! I'm into endurance cycling and had similar issues. I'm diagnosed with PVC as well and rely on medication to keep it from happening. I nearly fainted while driving a car, so it is not without "harmful effect".

In my case, the PVC disappears during exercise and comes back when I take a rest after exercising. I just wonder if you had any comparisons between rest vs. elevated heart rate scenarios. Now I'm super curious how elevated heart rate might change the clock rates for those nodes.

Glad you mentioned this. I'm a avid biker and endurance runner. I'm diagnosed with PVC a few years ago. I went through two rounds of ablation, both failed. Now I take Flecanaide to keep the rhythm but I want seek second opinion now, thanks to this tweet.

45MB download, that's an insane fun-to-byte density!! I'm gonna try this on my old ThinkPad x61!

I remember distinctly about the amazing cinematic cut scene in RA for that era of technology. The engineer probably geeked out with a lot compression hacks. I thought they were skipping every other line of rendering but still retained the illusion of a full video.

Unfortunately, the AI researcher did not use a LLM to automatically respond the nohello content.

It's got some quine potentials

Take it to the next level, maybe switch from server side zip to browser native gzip?

1. You could achieve this on a static server, like GitHub pages

2. You could make the page editable and auto generate new URLs as the page gets edited.

Not true! vim prevents calorie burn off because those lazy fingers barely leave the home row!

Intermittent fasting applied to IDE can be rather refreshing. It's similar to drinking a strong shot of espresso after daily drinking over-sweetened latte.

I'm still teaching GPT to understand Bram's magic. It is a work in progress, in memory of our Bram.

```gpt4.out

¶

Bram Moolenaar, gone,

VIM's mastermind fades to black,

:wq, his final song.

¶

In modes, he danced free,

Insert, normal, visual,

Code's choreography.

¶

H, J, K, L's guide,

Cursor moved, not the fingers,

His wisdom inside.

¶

Undo, redo, swap,

Infinite text maze tamed,

His legacy, non-stop.

¶

Bram's journey, :q! done,

Yet in each VIM keystroke,

His spirit lives on.

```

My excitement in this breakthrough raised the room temperature by 1 degree.

Google, please read "Web Platform Design Principles - Priority of Constituencies":

> The internet is for end users: any change made to the web platform has the potential to affect vast numbers of people, and may have a profound impact on any person’s life. [RFC8890]

> User needs come before the needs of web page authors, which come before the needs of user agent implementors, which come before the needs of specification writers, which come before theoretical purity.

Like https://val.town but written in a wiki specific python or javascript? I wish there is an easy way to see the code for each function instead of the "low code" UI.

Someone should claim the username "mention". It's gonna be wildly successful.

On the other side of the problem is how modern applications waste screen real-estate with empty space, bloated menus, and poor typography. The application designers also need to adopt responsive layout to make sure the app provides the right amount of information using provided space.

I hope a deeper rethink can consider the user's end goal being task management rather than window management. Maybe something in the spirit of "Ctrl + Z" and "fg" can be helpful.

In the meanwhile, product specific forums seem to be doing well.

I especially enjoyed my time spent on various Discourse servers, e.g.

Figma: https://forum.figma.com/

CodeMirror: https://discuss.codemirror.net/

Compared to SO, those single product servers have much better signal to noise ratio and the community are very welcoming.

Top on my wish list is a solution for the Ctrl/Cmd + W key binding conflict with the browser tabbing system. Definitely a hard design problem when you put browser technology inside browser technology >_<

Can we end education resource scarcity please. More open courses by schools and less credentialism by employers could make these debates irrelevant.

The lack of freedom to modification makes it not "open" either.

Comparing to traditional software, weights are actually worse than binary. You can't "decompile" the weights into the training source code so there is no way for the community to make useful changes to them.

The w3c spec says valid hash fragment must starts with [a-zA-Z], so "-h2" is considered invalid. Ref: https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8

The slogan "The phone that works like your PC" has definitely lived on!

Curious what's the experience like when running ARM applications, especially the GUI apps. Do they out perform the X64 counterpart? How about vs. Apple silicon?

I noticed that they use JavaScript to modify the hash string in the URL. Here is the probably root cause:

There is an H2 heading between "Lightweight JIT compiler project goals" and "The current state of the MIR project". That h2 contains the Hoover Dams image and has an id generated from empty content because the content is just image: <h2 id="-h2"></h2>. When you scroll near that image, the javascript tries to update the url but that broken ID caused it to set the empty ID ("#"), thus jumping to top.

You can verify this by open the table of contents bar and see an untitled section. Whatever CMS they are using, it didn't handle the empty H2 correctly. Few additional considerations:

1. The article author should never produce an H2 with only an image in it.

2. The image should have an `alt` label to be accessible.

3. CMS should use `alt` label or file name to generate the ID when the H2 has no other textual content.

Today we are announcing two revolutionary products:

A drone and a car.

Well, "news" is defined by the upvotes on HN ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The significance of this trick goes far beyond just adding styles to RSS.

The common practice is separating the the Human-readable interface (HTML) from the Machine-readable interface (XML) and build both of them on top of some source layer(e.g. a CMS or Markdown files)

XSLT allows you to use XML as the source layer and build a presentation layer on top of that. Admittedly, the styling workflow can be cumbersome but you get a browser-supported templating language that seems Turing complete (anyone confirms?) and with the power of CSS, you can pretty much get a full featured static site generator that runs on the client!

I've seen styled RSS once in a while and never thought about it until now. I'd love to give this technique a try. It feels like one of those Semantic Web ideas that should have taken off decades ago.

Brilliant hack. Btw, iPhone can't do things that even iPod can.

I’d consider it a brand damage to Cloudflare too. Their CDN clearly couldn’t offload the sever traffic. Ideally they should just serve stale content while server recovers.

Thinking on how to forward from here.

Is the missing ADs revenue the crux of the problem?

Instead of raising API price, what if Reddit injects ADs as real content for non premium API calls, so those API free riders/crawlers would get ADs indistinguishable from content. Well intended apps like Apollo could allow users to provide their premium identity and get AD free content. If this works, Reddit could even lower the price of premium account thanks to increase in AD revenue.

Also, I believe Reddit should share ADs revenue with subreddits moderators. This would truly align the incentive of all parties.

Consider the opposite headline in a foreseeable future:

"Lawyer sued by client for *not* using GPT to make a strong case"
