Would be nifty if they only did that partial scaling when there's little memory available.

It's in the article no?

> Orexin antagonists (which block the molecules’ actions rather than mimicking it, and thus promote sleep), have been available since 2014 as treatments for insomnia. They work differently from conventional sleeping pills, which enhance GABA, one of the brain’s main inhibitory neurotransmitters. Birgitte Kornum, an expert on orexins at the University of Copenhagen, says such pills induce sedation rather than natural sleep and often lose effectiveness with continued use. Orexin antagonists instead turn down the brain’s wakefulness signal, letting its sleep-promoting systems take over. Evidence suggests this produces better sleep, with less risk of dependence and fewer long-term problems.

Right, all these non-obsessed fanatics wasted their life. And don't get me even started on non-fanatics!

By 'destined' I assume you mean 'there was never a way their life would play out other than them becoming slaves'. But the word 'meant' and 'destiny' carry a meaning of "it is the right thing to happen", which I think we all agree is not the case.

There's the component of suffering for sure, but I think being a functional member of society is the most important. So if you don't annoy anyone with your abnormalities you are more likely to be considered sane.

I assume they have their own index of the web. Or perhaps there are companies where you can buy such indices. And then mix and match those, perhaps with your own too.

Data is basically their business.

It's from a sci-fi novel, I forgot to add the quote and edited it in.

While I understood the idea of shared beliefs for particular cases (god, money), being presented with the full concept was very interesting (that was for me when reading hararis 'Sapiens').

The gotcha really is, that our massive use of LLMs creates new weird shared beliefs en passent

> The set-up assumes that the game and life are the same thing, and such is the pervasive nature of the idea of the game within the society that just by believing that, they make it so.

With the difference that with time you get free credit automatically. Perhaps somewhat comparable to optimistic unchoking in BitTorrent :)

Free membership which accumulates points. These can be spent on books. Books are priced in points according to a metric (TBD). Bad books are 0 points. You can also get points by bringing in good books.

(It's like uh some kind of currency based barter dude ;) )

But this article allows framing this decision in a nice way. It's not a push back against over engineering, it's deliberate trade-off for speed by lowering quality, because quality is relative to the targeted outcome, which is yet fuzzy.

> The court heard the single child was given his first laptop at the age of 10 by his parents - carers who moved to London from Bangladesh.

Ah.. I hate when stereotypes play out like this. It's always those single children.

I think that's clear

In theory a good escalation system. In practice there must be strong guarantees and trust that there are no repercussions for triggering. Otherwise management will tell you over and over to "pull the andon cord / escalate earle & often" but really no one does.

Trends, status signalling?

Does the human neuroscience global workspace theory postulate true introspection too?

One example is the introduction of MIMO, a technique to send multiple data streams in the same frequency band in parallel. This requires multiple antennas, i.e. hardware which wasn't there in the previous wifi version. Note this was 2009.

> I’ve sat through some pitches like that, where it is very obvious that the founder/CEO has limited knowledge and expertise in what they’re pitching, where the product is limited, but their enthusiasm is off the charts.

And for all the talk of investing into people, what was your opinion?

Only outdone by the silent majority

I agree this blog is highlighting the irony in that. But I think you are overreaching and injecting your agenda when claiming that it says that "many folks asking for things to be “more inclusive” are asking for someone else to modify their behavior".

> Why do you think social media is bad but somehow regular websites aren't horrible?

But this is the level 2 argument to enforce identity verification everywhere. You are reaching ahead.

This might produce unpleasant clusters of the same color ("clustering illusion"), if the values are really randomly distributed.

IANAL but UI is not protectable in the EU. I remember this was relevant when people copied MS offices ribbon ui for Delphi components.

Create placeholder pages and backfill any extended LLM generated stuff. Either after first request of a page or simply queued.

What was the main driver for a dynamic workflow with loops vs a rigid forward running only workflow. The non-deterministic nature of these loops with LLM decision points doesn't mesh well with the transparency requirement imho

> [IMAGE: the same Point[] array in two variants: “before” (an array of arrows → scattered boxes with headers) and “after” (a uniform strip of number pairs)]

The `Point[]` in the image tag of your LLM output crashed your image generation post processing.

> popping out the disk and reading it from another system

The vast majority of people don't know that this is an option or how to do it.

> I just wanted to reassure you that the name sounds scary but the current treatment appears to work well

Even a charitable read is condescending. This person just wrote they are in the innermost research circles. I think they are beyond the "scary name" - needs reassurance phase.

I don't use social media (aside from HN). I take selfies to remember a moment. Not to capture it, my memory is good enough for me for that.

I think my old self will want my younger self to have had done lots of things I don't want to do now.

Future me can suck it. I'll be selfish in the moment.

This is like watching videos of old folks saying: "I wish I took better care of my teeth". Right, cause thats what matters a lot to you now.

The lesson to be learned is that what you want from life changes. You shouldn't prioritize the needs of a future version of you.
