Working on a gardening robot called Wilbur; we need to give the power of AI to individuals or the next 30 years could be really ugly

yeah kinda weird how filling they are. Pickle juice helped me a lot to finish my first 14 day fast after being stuck at 10 for a few attempts. I thought it was just the electrolytes, but you probably aren't terribly short on electrolytes during a calorie restriction diet, so... maybe pickles are special. maybe it's the explosion of flavor

Look into the research on extended fasting for weight loss; you get the magic of autophagy, less muscle loss compared to calorie restriction diets (5% compared to 30% iirc), and, apropo to your post, it won't crash your metabolic rate like calorie restriction will (making it easier to plateau halfway through your diet, and to regain the weight at the end)

It's probably the only way I'll ever lose weight, I look at excess weight as 'autophagy dollars' I can spend now, feels so good for like 6 months after a 10 day fast, like I got a couple years younger.

You do have to work up to longer fasts, supplement electrolytes, and go slow reintroducing food at the end of a fast.

Fear not; he has dark glasses

Reinforcement Learning will make super cheap hardware able to do very sophisticated things; the history of robotics has up to now been very focused on hardware and control, with actual outcomes and value delivered being afterthoughts appended to a primarily academic pursuit. But RL will make it increasingly about hardware and outcomes. Control will just be superhuman, without much engineering effort. We're gonna see so many cool robots in the next 10 years.

Your brain won't remember or deeply comprehend things it doesn't care about. It won't waste the energy.

This is why it's important to align yourself with what you care about, it's the only way to be as smart as you have the ability to be. Which is hard to do because it requires peeling back the onion layers of your 'memetic' desires (desires you somehow picked up that you don't really care about).

This is also why our largely sterile schooling process sucks.

(Don't actually know if that's what Plato meant here)

Exciting, I've been waiting for more attempts to use temporal dynamics in neural networks

Get into cryptography and the internet

I was typing this as a joke, in response to a joke. Then I realized, this wasn't just a mildly disrespectful joke, he's probably serious!

Unless this is just a ploy to get a better trade deal with Italy or something. Wait, he was saying a few days ago how he's gonna make America religious again... Wow. Break out the popcorn I guess.

This guy is something else...

"I would be, frankly, the greatest Pope, and you know, people are saying, some people are, that I maybe, probably should be. The last Pope was, some people say, weak, but I'm not weak. Really I'm the strongest, in terms of strength, there's nobody stronger. And you have to be strong to stand up to these woke, frankly, lunatics that are trying to take over the Catholic church. I walked in here, I said wow, they're dumb. It's like a mental institution. They have to be stopped. I WILL MAKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Trump saying the Declaration of Independence was a declaration of "Unity, Love, and Respect" 🤣

Speaking of the document that basically says "That's IT, we've been oppressed too long, fuck you Britain, it's OVER, we're our own thing now, you're out"

🤣 "Unity, Love, and Respect" indeed, I'm dying, he says the funniest things sometimes
