I feel like the model making a memory file to store context is more than a gimmick, no?
go_elmo··on Cuttlefish 'talk' with their arms, study reveals
Super cool! Imo kind of makes sense - think these sort of problems (communication) are general across actors and science seems to confirm some cases (between plants / funghi, cuddlefish, mamals..). Were not as unique as we think & thats freeing.
go_elmo··on Hypnagogia – cognitive phenomena on the onset of sleep
How cool! Thanks for sharing! :) yeah the fever / infection sessions as kids were intense experiences - super interesting insights in what the mind can produce - super valuable insights imo.

I had funny imagination while having fever as a kid as well. Could imagine a surface switching from being satin-smooth to edgy and rough in a perfect transition - maybe some form of texture-halucination..? anyways, the way it would "feel" to the touch is how it felt emotionally as well - super hard to describe but an interesting link to experience somehow :)

Think everyone has such experiences - which is your most vivid one?

After meditating for 3 years, these states are common when dreaming - as awareness persists within dreams - doesnt equal lucidity - as no active actions performed - can recommend meditating, its art.

"Other places are 10x worse, you should be grateful to just eat 1 shovel of dirt / week instead of 10"
go_elmo··on The psychology behind why children are hooked on Minecraft
How about eating less & doing more exercise? Just a suggestion with merit, ofc
go_elmo··on The psychology behind why children are hooked on Minecraft
Everyone is staring on their phones there..

Also friendly reminder that its not the nicest thing to tell parents whats good for their kids

As a former kid, yes, the openness and self-actionability of the game really made me connect with it & other players. Awesome game.
go_elmo··on Ask HN: Do You Take Protein Suppliments? Any Noticeable Benefits?
Feel like the sweeteners mess up my digestion. Are useful to get some protein after a workout - in everyday rather eat some almonds & less processed food..
go_elmo··on De-Atomization Is the Secret to Happiness (2022)
I make my date B join my macys date with A via zoom, both works as Im on the treadmil & online shopping. Helps a lot to get some reflexions about A and myself from B, B is usually happy for the trust & impressed by my openness. Division is always virtual and hindering. Enjoy complexity (like making complexity jokes at dates, hihi)
go_elmo··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
Maybe its not due to the universe but our perception of it?
go_elmo··on 'Thirsty' ChatGPT uses four times more water than previously thought
The question is how much value. Sure, learning about entropy & unblocking students is huge value - producing clickbait content does way less so imo
go_elmo··on 'Thirsty' ChatGPT uses four times more water than previously thought
I agree - it has no direct use to the wellbeing of humans - Id say if the indirect use (e.g. humans saving time [which itself is probably the most energy intensive thing, food, housing, entertainment], gaining knowledge has to surpass the costs in Order for the investment to make sense.
go_elmo··on Linear, symmetric, self-selecting 14-bit molecular memristors (2023)
Nit: we take 20w of chemical energy not electrical one like computers, way worse efficiency compared to solar panels Id say
go_elmo··on Show HN: I made a game for learning the country flags of the world
Im thinking about a similar thing for plant-species. Knowing them makes being outside a whole different experience!
go_elmo··on NASA releases Hubble image taken in new pointing mode
Its insane how far quality can push things, even with a tiny budget. And yes, Im also making jokes about burning money.. tech is a strange world!
go_elmo··on EU Council to Vote on Chat Scanning Proposal on Thursday
Worked for deprioritizing biodiversity efforts for the sake of mass produced animal products, because, more processing steps => higher economic yield. Money talks.
go_elmo··on The Woman Who Showed President Biden ChatGPT
Laws are made for things that exist. If new things appear, laws might need to be adapted - to be decided by the voters.
go_elmo··on I used to not worry about climate change. Now I do [video]
I dont get it. Every scientist & 5yo kid will prove you that things accelerate with 9.81 m/s^2 when falling, and guess this is still science? Which is a proof of cobtradiction that your point doesnt hold.

Since "state" means majority of people, id say is more of a question of what set of rules we want as society. Im also pro drug legalization but towards a different form of regulation there, minimizing harm created by drugs in total. I think writing laws from a CS perspective and with less politics could go a long way.

Smokers are also self-responsible for every cigarette lit - they should be expelled from insurance and society taking these willing actions and doing harm to the rest of people /s

Just because it doesnt add up for you doesnt mean its not valid. Also, it is an illustrative example, not general rule for everyone affected. Im sure most users that get into fiscal problems get there with way less spent than 25k.

Maybe its time to regulate not on specific actions like "gambling machines" but brain-pathways caused by products. This would also instantly regulate e.g. "legal research chemicals" used as drugs just as some usage pattern designs
go_elmo··on James Webb Space Telescope finds 2 of the most distant galaxies ever seen
But still - it unveils the "present" to just as well be an illusion of human categorical thinking, an abstract concept, not more. It is super useful to have none the less, just interesting to know its fragility.
go_elmo··on Future is quantum: universities look to train engineers for an emerging industry
New class of computational problems will be solvable. Precisely predicting chemical reactions, biological systems etc, possibly.
go_elmo··on Researchers find link between plastic additive and autism, ADHD
I agree! Homosexuality was a disease up to the 80s too!
go_elmo··on Researchers find link between plastic additive and autism, ADHD
Adhd & autism is not a disease but likely phenotypes of genetic diversity. Want to get rid of it? Its equal to eugenics and racism, getting rid of diversity.
go_elmo··on Many scientists don’t want to tell the truth about climate change. Here’s why
I think it will come like most things - as a sigmoid curve. People will ask for it once the catastrophes become locally constant.
