trick-or-treat

At some point, for all of us, our happiest memories will be behind us.

It sounds like you're not there yet, but when you are, I hope you will be less judgmental of us old folks who simply care to reminisce.

IMHO indexedDb is almost certainly the wrong choice and whatever perceived speed wins can be accomplished without it and optimistic updates. Prove me wrong

Thinking of happy memories sounds like a perfectly healthy activity to me, TBH

I don't see how a coding model competes with figma TBH, an image model maybe but that's a stretch too.

Reads like a super-villain origin story. Welp, I guess he doesn't have to worry about getting the electric chair.

AI the thing that experts say 20% chance will destroy humanity? Yes, why be anti- that? lol.

Maybe you're right. In the weights might be the right way to frame that. What do you mean by "during its lifetime"? Do you mean things like system prompts or things in Claude.md?

It sounds like you're framing a session as a "lifetime". Whch might be right, I haven't thought of it like that before though. So when I /compact my session what's that even the equivalent of I wonder.

I don't think we say "it rains", do we?

We say "it's raining" but that doesn't imply agency to whatever is causing it to rain.

Also, please don't invoke solipsism, if you want to debate that, you're by definition obligated to do it with yourself.

No I think reinforcement training would be an example of not innate. Don't you? That's like potty training.

You don't think it's sillier than "rocks don't have consciousness"?

That's because Panpsychism is silly.

For an LLM, "innate" means "in their training data". So yeah, those things are pretty much innate.

640 qubits ought to be enough for anybody.

Claude understands that though and so does everyone else. So not a good example

What does imaginary portfolio mean? It's not clear whether you're claiming these numbers are real or imaginary.

Isn't it simpler to use claude's vocabulary? I don't see a good use case for this.

Connecting a llm to your bank account, hmm? Ok I wish you the best.

ELO is an absolute rating. You could make a claim about some unknown GM being "better" than Magnus Carlsen because his appearance fee is cheaper, but obviously nobody would take you seriously.

There is a best model, and then there is what you can afford. Call that the "better value" or something if you must, but calling it the "better" model is clearly spreading a falsehood.

imagine if being liberal meant pretending weaker Chinese models are better than US models as a form of virtue signaling?

We failed you somehow, kids. I'm not sure where, but we failed you.

You're preaching to the choir, I've personally done 30+ custom chrome extensions and that was pre-AI.

Nowadays it's mostly tamper-monkey scripts when I just want to rearrange a website's DOM. I do those with Claude and it one-shots them more often than not.

I just feel like, as probably a bigger reader than most, I could only identify a handful of pre-1800s books by first passages (call me ishmael?). I thought this was an interesting concept but ultimately I don't see a way to become popular / viable.

Now that said, and also just a thought: The idea of motifs recently came to me for a similar book project (for example stephen king and alice munro are linked by the "small town secrets" motif). that's something more relatable that you might be able to gamify. Thoughts?

Does your girlfriend's book club read public domain classic literature?

I'm personally up to 400 or so

Except extensions.

But they become fun again when someone points that out.

Except that you don't know LLMs don't. For all we know we're torturing them.

They are what they are (its a subjective phenomenon). I'm not claiming to know where they come from.

That's called solipsism. I went through it as a lad, I think it's not uncommon.

Not fundamental to existence but fundamental to consciousness.

Theoretically the person sitting next to you could be a zombie, no qualia, the lights are off, he's just having a conversation with you with nothing going on behind the scenes. And there's no way to tell, except that it's reasonable to extrapolate that since you feel something, he probably does too.

I think it's the same thing. You can't have consciousness without qualia and vice versa.
