  • I couldn't find replays. Are there more? Also, it is a bit funny that "building the bridge" which at one point seems to be Claude's "chosen goal" is just "running out of moves" and failing the task.

    Task failed successfully, Claude. Task failed, successfully.

  • I finished one of the tasks. And, I imagine I could finish at least some of the others. But, I wasn't being paid, and it wasn't very entertaining, so I stopped.

    EDIT: Got all the way through several other tasks that suddenly looked interesting while watching the replays available of the frontier models. If you paid me $250, I'd finish them all, though probably not optimally. I still don't know how I'd do against the private sets.

    They should ad a "global" and "friends-only" leaderboard (like the Zachtronics games, etc.) and really see the competition (at least human competition) heat up.

  • IIRC, most of the people that actually work at ITER don't expect to live to see commercial fusion.

    We've achieved controlled ignition several times, but there's a lot of steps still between that and delivering fusion power to your local grid, and I don't think I would trust anyone to give a concrete timeline.

    I really thought Polywell Fusion would be the trick, but Australians (and probably the US DoD) have good evidence it doesn't "scale" in a way that will give a energy-positive/fuel-negative cycle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell#University_of_Sydney_experiments

  • Yu-Gi-Oh: "You see, 'Pot of Greed' lets me draw two cards."

    BK employee: "But, what does 'Pot of Greed' do?"

    Altercation begins.

  • I decided to keep Netflix (and just pay for the ad-free tier), but dropped prime because there was some content that was not available ad-free, and UBO (et. al.) was unable to strip them.

  • I am also a Nebula subscriber and preferentially view creators there if the content is also on YT. I purchased a lifetime subscription to Nebula; I hope I get my money's worth.

    My YT subscription page (https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions) is also just what I've subscribed to, in reverse-chronological order. Unfortunately, that's not all the YT I consume, plenty of after-video recommendations, and sometimes I intentionally visit the main page, which is all algorithm. I do need to work on that -- near-ending algorithmic recommendations are probably not the best thing to spend my limited life time on.

  • You do you. I like my YT Premium. Many of the creators I watch there simply don't publish anywhere else, and I don't have time for ads, especially if I'm watching on my smart TV.

  • I imagine I'll code long after I'm able to make money at it.

    But, I wouldn't necessarily mind having to knit, crochet, carve, whittle, sculpt, etc. for a job either. I'm not nearly as good at them, but I think I'd enjoy it more than going back to working at the grocery store / convenience store / gas station.

    I wish we'd go ahead and convert to a post-scarcity global society. We already produce more calories, drinking water, and housing than we need to cover everyone, albeit not necessarily where people currently are. Let people knit all day and still be housed and fed and watered.

  • Sorry. I didn't pick the acronym, it comes from the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.13163.pdf I'm not sure why there's no "M" in the acronym, but I should probably spell things out when I actually want collaborators.

    While I'm dropping links, I will also drop https://github.com/granule-project/ where Gerty and Granule live and where real research is done.

  • If someone wants to collab, I've been writing various codes around it: https://gitlab.com/bss03/grtt

    Right now, it's a bunch of crap. But, it's published, and I occasionally try to improve it.

    Also, Granule and Gerty are actual working implementations, tho I think some of the "magic" is in the right grading ring for the runtime, and they and more research oriented, allowing for fairly arbitrary grading rings.

  • The whole industry needs rebuilt from the foundations. GRTT with a grading ring that tightly controls resources (including, but not limited to RAM) as the fundamental calculus, instead of whatever JS happens to stick to the Chome codebase and machine codes spewed by your favorite C compiler.

  • I saw it 3 times opening weekend.

  • I like you, weirdo.

  • This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.

  • Neither vim nor neovim are safe! (I hear emacs is fine, but who really knows all the people that provided contributions to the pile of elisp they call their emacs.)
