Sometimes running ‘go clean -modcache’ can help. Not sure about this specific case though

Meat space meetup!

Sold my shoes to join the effort. I’m doing my part!

If I was a DARPA-like organization with advanced AI I would promote lines of AI research with natural throttles built in to slow down adversaries.

For example, the transformer architecture with quadratic memory constraints or any architecture that relies on extreme, whole-internet scaling laws for training data. They’re promising and tempting to pursue but likely suboptimal.

Obviously that strategy doesn’t hold up forever but it buys time. We’ve been iterating on transformers for almost a decade… That’s a long time in the digital world.

Governments are incentivized to make policies that convert home owners to renters.

If someone owns their house they pay property taxes and that’s it. If the house is rented out then you have the same property tax, but now that house generates an income for someone and can be taxed further.

Great view of the solar corona!

And for those who aren't aware, the Parker Solar Probe [1,2] is somewhere in there gathering data.

Photons mediate the electromagnetic force.

Gluons mediate the strong force.

Bitcoin mediates the economic force.

“The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today”

Thanks for the recommendation. I have a few old locks lying around with no keys so picking them would be much better than throwing them away. Still won’t use them on things but it beats buying another set of puzzles.

Had an irrational amount

The matrix was apparently a documentary. nostr:note1w5g9wdtt2d0mvtf6hwzx24ms9wgcg87pqfj2ptyhqgng9eln5xls93lxch

It's taking the "artificial" out of artificial intelligence.

If you think that's wild, check out their paper published in Cell back in December 2022: "In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world"

If you’re wanting to run AI models then consider upgrading to something like this:

Sean Carroll, who knows a thing or two about quantum mechanics, says the Microsoft topological quantum chip is a nothing burger:

Granted he’s a physicist rather than an engineer or materials scientist but still it sounds like MSFT embellished a wee bit. Maybe this circulated around Nostr and I missed it but sharing just in case.

Spring is here. Time to take the bike and go hit some hills.

Might even dust off the ol’ skateboard and hit the skate park this weekend for a change up.

The lighnting network: will your lightning node pass linting in CI? Are your channels balanced appropriately?

Every once in a while try giving up caffeine for a few weeks.

You might find after a few days that you have more energy and better sleep than when you were drinking coffee.

You can also try skipping coffee every other day or every third day if you really need that experience.

I’ve found that after a few days of skipping coffee I fall asleep within a few minutes of hitting the bed and my quality of sleep is so much better.

Those poor teenage mutant ninja turtles!

Purple pilled someone for the first time today. With AI proliferating the selling point was DVM so they could earn money.

I can’t imagine trying to compete with an open protocol like Nostr at this point. Free and open protocols are eating the world.
