Machine psychology

I think because they collapse under their own weight?

But great article if you enjoy reading grumpy British humor roasting America

In the Netherlands, on the “elf” of November, children make handmade lanterns and wander door to door, singing for candy. It’s frikkin cute— that’s why Halloween is discouraged.

Is the launch timed for Halloween parties? Good job team + community!

Father of 4. I grew up with no tv. Except I watched it every day at my grandparents.

Rrrriiight…

In the way the study is designed, it could also be the non-using spouses having to pick up more work. Or the loss of motivation (and regular aerobic activity) by the users.

You can do 90% in 1% of the time. The last 10% takes 99% of the time.

Yes! But at some level, doesn’t it kind of get blurred?

That is, we are trying to come up with rules describing the underlying rules, right? The world isn’t made of stuff, it’s made of rules, right? Or math? Just not the same notation, at least.

Help! I feel like I’m falling off a metaphysical cliff!

Is there an AI-first strategy for CMS design?

Quantum Vibe Coding: anyone can do it!

“ Most astrobiologists think water must be present on a planet’s surface for life to arise there, and indeed the first bacteria appeared on Earth almost as soon as water pooled on its cooling surface roughly four billion years ago. But if Earth were just 2 percent closer to the sun, that pooling wouldn’t have happened. Instead, all of Earth’s water would have boiled away. We got lucky”

Anyone try it with the SO101?

Yay for Latin. Care to share your project?

Here are some sourced estimates with ranges. From 8 to 50 is about an order of magnitude. Caching is a big question and potential saver. Still, at 20 burgers a day, shows the scale of energy in agent teams.

I’d love to understand where you get the 18 tons of CO2 for 500B tokens. A source would be really helpful.

The use case is doing original historical research on your phone instead of social media.

Where’s my van Neumann parametron harmonic injection? Asking for a friend (see his posthumous patent)

Maybe, actually, it will rehumanize math by formulating its ideas in a manner that allow their comprehension without 10-15 years of mechanized practice. The average human might understand quantum mechanics and Maxwell’s equations with the right conceptual interface.

Like all the fancy jackets, tight pants and swords. That's hilarious

It’s a glorified, ritualized barbecue— and probably even more ethical (too bad that today it is frowned upon to see your meat before it dies)

Abandonmags?

Do these still exist? How are they funded?

Beautiful, right?

If the catholic church can do it (magisterium), it can probably be done

The AI models are most definitely available to the public with a maximum of what, a 3 month lead while they do testing?

“researchers trying to improve general understanding”

Pretty sure AI will do better for that.. mathematicians need to be centaurs like the rest of us and stop rhetoric that is going to make existing math centaurs feel like they might get math-cancelled

Using the SourceLibrary MCP in Claude, I also found an example going all the way back to Euripides. In this scene, Theseus reads a tablet and the chorus has to ask what it says (because he read it, but not out loud).

Augustine describes silent reading himself:

“I returned in haste to the place where Alipius was sitting, for I had left the book of the Apostle there when I stood up. I seized it, opened it, and read in silence the chapter upon which my eyes first fell”

Bonus, like all those tall Dutch kids from the milk hormones.
