mrcartmeneses··on LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate
Further, could we think of intent as some ordered state, and over time the LLM introduces entropy, eventually resulting in something akin to free-association?

Uncle Bob full of shit? Colour me purple!
mrcartmeneses··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage

If any Americans here need a definition of irony this is it
mrcartmeneses··on Iran claims US exploited networking equipment backdoors during strikes
I wonder how much of the world now sees American and Israeli tech as security risk?
mrcartmeneses··on Single-Dose Creatine Reduces Sleep Deprivation-Induced Deterioration
If tired chess rating goes down, if well rested chess rating goes up. If high dose of creatine and tired chess rating goes up. Having big chess addiction good measurement device of cognitive function. I endorse creatine for tired people that need brain working.
mrcartmeneses··on A chatbot's worst enemy is page refresh
This is a feature of the web. Browser refreshes SHOULD dump state. Otherwise it can be difficult to recover from system errors. Of course if you can build a system that is guaranteed to never have bugs then go ahead and disable this feature. But users may still be confused as to why refreshing hasn’t restarted their window
mrcartmeneses··on The time I didn't meet Jeffrey Epstein
Taxation is what moves power from the powerful to the people. All of the Epstein crap was proceeded by Reagan and Thatcher and their trickle down BS that made the rich and powerful even more rich and powerful while everyone else could languish
mrcartmeneses··on Say No to Palantir in the NHS
So we can’t take it seriously until the problem is already solved?

I think the worry regarding Palantir is that it is explicitly and openly fascist rather than just doing fascism on the side

mrcartmeneses··on Why High Food Prices Will Make Public Groceries Inevitable
Germany, for example has rent controls, this is generally a great success, but in Berlin it’s a total disaster.

The contention that it “doesn’t work” in LA and NYC doesn’t really tell us anything useful about groceries.

What you also seem to miss is that government intervention in markets is actually the norm, not the exception, they just don’t normally intervene in ways that get sensationalised by the press.

mrcartmeneses··on Show HN: 32V TENS device from built from scratch under $100
I saw a CTO put an email send script in a while (true) loop like this and we only stopped dossing one of our investor’s email after our sendgrid bill hit £32k. Funny thing about emails is they get in a proverbial traffic jam all across the internet so no matter how many times the poor guy would clear his inbox more would magically arrive

Socrates would beg to differ
mrcartmeneses··on Lottie is an open format for animated vector graphics
Or worse! You get handed off something unrealistic that won’t compile to lottie but “client has signed off”
mrcartmeneses··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
Need != want
mrcartmeneses··on Malicious compliance by booking an available meeting room
“I wish I knew the identities of these brave meeting crashers. I saw them pull this stunt twice and then ride off into the sunset, and I never got to learn what team they were on. I wish Were they true believers in the 50-minute policy? Were they bored pedants? Were they wraiths, cursed to hunt the office for available meeting rooms?”

No, they were software developers

mrcartmeneses··on US pauses all federal aid and grants

mrcartmeneses··on London saw a surprising benefit to ultra-low emissions zone: More active kids
Tower Hamlets?
mrcartmeneses··on London saw a surprising benefit to ultra-low emissions zone: More active kids
Yes as long as you stay off the deeper parts of tube, e.g the Northern Line. One of London’s biggest sources of particulate pollution is now tube train brake pads
mrcartmeneses··on London saw a surprising benefit to ultra-low emissions zone: More active kids
The air in London is noticeably cleaner than it used to be. Londoners should be proud of what has been achieved

The boot is the trunk, the hood is the bonnet
mrcartmeneses··on If we want a shift to walking, we need to prioritize dignity
It’s worth remembering that a lot of car centric design has political roots. For example many of Berlin’s wide roads were built so that Nazi tanks could traverse them. Likewise Paris’s wide streets were built so that cavalry army’s could pass. And a big part of America’s single family home suburb design (which necessitates cars) is born out of a desire keeping white and black people separate (as well as regulatory capture by the auto industry).

My favourite places in the world tend to be much older and basically built at random by the people who lived there, like London’s Soho and Clerkenwell or Barcelona’s old town.

mrcartmeneses··on "AI", students, and epistemic crisis
It’s something reflected in the conversations I have with my academic friends. I’m told that every essay is written in the same “voice” and that although they are usually a simulacra of an academic paper, they say nothing. The sad part comes when we reflect that these students are not learning the deep thinking skills that comes with academic writing

mrcartmeneses··on Mitochondrial signal transduction (2022)
