th3o6a1d··on Agent Is Not the Model
I like to think of an agent as a LLM chat loop with tool calling. The agentic behavior emerges with these ingredients.

Don’t really a harness…unless you consider a shell script that runs that loop a harness.

I’m also suspicious. Seems like OpenAI wants a Mythos moment too.

th3o6a1d··on Show HN: Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)
Maybe next step is have the llm create persistent tools from the queries it uses most often.

What is their success rate? What is "pretty high?"

th3o6a1d··on I have tinnitus. I don't recommend it
I have tinnitus from going to loud concerts. I want to evangelize the importance of wearing ear plugs. It’s just not worth having hearing damage.
th3o6a1d··on CIA now favors lab leak theory to explain Covid's origins
There are animal markets all over China. This isn’t just any market. It’s a market that happens to be near a virology lab that studies bat coronaviruses, which had been investigated for questionable safety practices by u.s. inspectors.

th3o6a1d··on The Futility of Doctors
> Why do they recommend plant-based foods when study after study has consistently shown how bad the effects are? > Why do doctors still prescribe statins when their efficacy has already been proven to be less useful than a diet change?

Can OP elaborate?

Friend of mine has a nice scrape across the side of his model 3 where it rubbed up against a pole in a parking garage during summon
th3o6a1d··on Language of fungi derived from their electrical spiking activity
Agree with above statement. Occam's razor. Tons of examples of complex behavioral changes centered around exposure to single substance.

THC --> munchies! Alcohol --> saying dumb things at parties.

I'll bet there is a fungal chemical that disrupts the ant's spacial orientation, and absent of other stimuli, it may have a default program that causes it to seek higher ground.

th3o6a1d··on A Guide to NFTs, and How They Are About to Revolutionize Pretty Much Everything
I think the biggest promise of NFTs is proof of patronage/bragging rights for supporting an artist. Displaying an nft piece is like a painting being on loan from a private gallery to a museum. Owner and creator are clearly designated.

1) Where does one check the pulse of an elephant to determine the need for CPR? 2) CPR for traumatic arrest? Nah. 3) Miraculous survival without blood transfusions or surgery? Nah.

th3o6a1d··on Show HN: Free Cardiac Monitor Simulator (with embeddable plugin)
Hey everyone,

I'm a physician who likes to code. For a while, I've thought it would be cool to be able to pull up a free cardiac monitor simulator in a browser for teaching purposes. Would be even better if you could somehow control a monitor window remotely using your phone to simulate a case in realtime. Some of the existing sim software is ridiculously expensive (like everything in healthcare), or requires a software download. With that in mind, I give you:

The Site: https://monitorsim.com

About It: https://jt.netlify.app/posts/monitor/

Tech: * React, Firebase (for remote control), D3.js, Netlify

Features: * control simulated scenario remotely using phone or other browser window (uses Firebase) * supports a variety of tracings (needs more work) * embeddable plugin for blog posts - just pass a JSON object

Future directions: * add more waveforms (heart blocks) and finetune the existing ones * add arterial blood pressure waveform and styling

Collaboration/Feedback: * Feel free to fork on github: https://github.com/th3o6a1d/monitor * Hit me up on twitter for feedback: https://twitter.com/th3o6a1d

Disclaimer: * Some of the wave forms are the best approximations I can make at this time, and I've tried to keep them to scale. There's plenty of room for improvement. Go easy on me!

th3o6a1d··on Tiny websites are great
I dig the concept, but for ease, firebase-tools, node?

Use netlify! Or s3 bucket w hosting

th3o6a1d··on Hydroxychloroquine causes viral load reduction in Covid-19 patients
For one, hydroxychloroquine, and especially when used in combination with azithromycin, can cause prolongation of an electrocardiogram interval called QT. The degree of QT prolongation is associated with a risk of sudden cardiac death. QT prolongation is an issue in patients with underlying heart disease or electrolyte abnormalities. QT > 500 is associated w/ increased risk of sudden death.
