brna-2··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?
Wow, such a nice idea with the purple lanyard it would be great to have something like this in general, walking down the streets someone films you and them or even YT or viewers to scan/flag the videos in question. I guess EU could put forth such regulation - no biggie. Maybe we could also create a framework on existing legislation - design a lanyard, put a QR on it leading to a "I do not consent" site. Advertise it a bit and I'm sure it would be newsworthy, at-least in EU, not sure about the rest of the world.

It would be nice to have a decentralized recipe database with feedback and grading. I mean decentralized in a non-profit way, where cash flow does not matter.

Still not to bad, don't scare people off. Here are some comparisons of cost of living - to Vienna, but you can choose what to compare.

For example living in Split is cca 26% cheaper than Vienna.

brna-2··on Open models by OpenAI
This is not actually just about having it produce text that is censored but doing anything it says it is not allowed to do at all. I am sure these two mostly overlap but not always. Like I said, it is not allowed to have "no output" and it is hard to make it do it.
brna-2··on Open models by OpenAI
Is it just me or is this MUCH sturdier against jailbreaks then similar models, or even the ChatGPT ones?

I have had problems even making it output nothing. But I guess I'll try some more :D

Nice job @openAI team.

brna-2··on Software Development at 800 Words per Minute
Also helpful, try listening to something for a minute at higher speeds e.g. 5x and slow down to 2.5x or 3x after that for a warm up.

I see my limit is now around 3x, and FYI Lex Fridman is much easier on the ears at 3x then the guests. :D

I don't know exactly what top speeds I used, above 2.5x, under 5x, but I listened to some lectures on youtube as a background process to doing some work. I would be sure I have missed something, as I worked so I had this practice of just setting the video time back and checking if it is stuff that I already know. I was amazed to see that mostly all data was retained already and I had the feeling of listening to the same stuff twice.

These speeds were already non-comprehensive to my colleagues, but I thought there is no point in trying to get used to higher speeds, and to see the author processing these kinds of flows of data is just inspiring and amazing, Ill try to get better. But I am not planing on listening to code :D

@adnanaga the e-mail you specified for contact on the site does not work: continue@boondoggle.io gmails says it is miss-configured.

I was wondering for EU, could I get the document template.

Almost started discussing this with you. :D
brna-2··on Notes on OpenAI's new o1 chain-of-thought models
Waat, got it on second try:

This is possible because the doctor is the boy's other parent—his father or, more likely given the surprise, his mother. The riddle plays on the assumption that doctors are typically male, but the doctor in this case is the boy's mother. The twist highlights gender stereotypes, encouraging us to question assumptions about roles in society.

brna-2··on Notes on OpenAI's new o1 chain-of-thought models
Yep. correct and correct.

brna-2··on Hacker Purity Test (1989)
While I am largely out of sync with the timeframe of the topics in the test the personality-related questions made me giggle with joy several times.
