technotony··on Light without electricity? Glowing algae could make it possible
I hope this works. A decade ago I submitted glowing microbes to the epa but they blocked it. My read from going through that was that it was politically impossible. Hopefully times have changed.

Edit: my microbes were gmo, these are not, so no epa rules. Good luck to them!

technotony··on Claude Opus 4.7 costs 20–30% more per session
Not only that but they seem to have cut my plan ability to use Sonnet too. I have a routine that used to use about 40% of my 5 hour max plan tokens, then since yesterday it gets stopped because it uses the whole 100%. Anyone else experience this?
technotony··on Research-Driven Agents: When an agent reads before it codes
Maybe but having it search first to load the context with relevant information sure gets better results
technotony··on US Job Market Visualizer – Andrej Karpathy
It's the other way around. Cashier's spend their 4 percent, where's the lawyers probably save it. Though of course median salary for the two categories means 4 percent change is different in absolute dollars

technotony··on How to start a school with your friends
Peter diamondis and ray kerzweil tried with singularity University but the accreditation process priced to much.
technotony··on Researchers search for more precise ways to measure pain
I've found meditation very useful in this regard. If you focus on observing in detail #1 type pain, you find that the #2 becomes much more managable. The technique is to get curious about the pain, ask what type it is (hot/cold/electric etc), where exactly is the pain. what shape is it? how does it change over time? It sounds counter-intuitive but by focusing on it it becomes easier to manage (because I think a lot of #2 is story and mental reactions to the pain rather than the actual pain itself and the mental reactions are self-fulfilling in a negative way).
technotony··on Gödel's theorem debunks the most important AI myth – Roger Penrose [video]
You are assuming that consciousness can be reproduced by simulating the brain. Which might be possible but it's by no means certain.
technotony··on After 3 Years, I Failed. Here's All My Startup's Code
This has not been my experience at all. I moved to the bay area in 2012 and 5 people I met living there have built unicorns/have net worth now around > $1BN. None of them leveraged family connections. this might be true in Europe but the best folks figure out how to move to america.
technotony··on AlphaProof's Greatest Hits
Yes, because if AI can do maths then it can use that to improve the efficiency/quality of it's algorithms to self improve...
technotony··on The TikTok documents: Stripping teens and boosting 'attractive' people
Also I want my kid exposed to technology, to learn to use and develop with it, but how do you balance that with preventing the damages it seems to cause? We are delaying screen-time for my 2 year old till he's at least 5 or 6 but not sure when is the right time to introduce.
technotony··on AI's $600B Question
If they are in such high demand, then are they just being priced below cost? why else is the capex so much higher than the revenues? These things must depreciate over only 3-5 years (or less?)
technotony··on Priced out of home ownership
That's not the main source of the problem, it's governments printing money that's causing this.
technotony··on Meta Horizon OS
"we encourage the Google Play 2D app store to come to Meta Horizon OS, where it can operate with the same economic model it does on other platforms." - I feel like this might be the rub of this. Google is way behind in building the android of spatial computing, and maybe this can play into the trust busting cases where meta can show Google not playing fair?
