<p>In 1999 when I was about 12, I memorized 120 digits of pi with little issue. I had some extra motivation: once I got to 20-30 digits, a classmate bet me I couldn't get past 100, and he'd give me $1 for every digit I memorized past 100. Never saw my $20 :(. Pretty sure it was a well-executed nerd-snipe.<p>Having not practiced at all since about 2001 or so, I can still get to about 30 pretty easily. I didn't use any techniques specifically, I just kept practicing as far as I remember.</p>

<p>I treasure my memories of being on subways and busses and getting lost in thought while staring out the windows, yeah. I mean, people have done this for basically all of human history (okay walking or something, not on a train, but, yeah). It's not a bad thing to have some time with just your senses existing in the world.</p>

<p>What you've described is just a new benchmark, though. It'll be called CarParkBench, various embodied LLMs will then be run against that benchmark, and some will score better than others.<p>I do see where you're going, but that's already what's happening: we have so many different benchmarks because there's no real single way to test for general intelligence.<p>Also, it takes a human probably at least a decade of world experience, growth, learning, etc, to pass your benchmark. I'm quite confident that it will be very soon that an embodied LLM will pass your new benchmark, much sooner than a human would take if born today.</p>

<p>Hey all,<p>The goal is to earn on token margins for LLM calls when you build an AI-powered webapp. I proxy OpenAI and Anthropic calls so that when you deploy a site to a subdomain, your users token usage will be tracked. I charge 2x the token cost to the end user, where the webapp creator gets 80% of the profit and I get 20%. The idea is to ramp your revenue from simple AI apps directly with your popularity and real usage<p>I've built this over the last 3 years. The system behind it is kind of crazy: I use Abstract Syntax Trees and have the LLM write AST transformation code to implement code changes to files. I haven't benchmarked it in a while, but last time I did, it cost more in tokens but produced more targeted code changes (as compared to other agent harnesses). I wrote a blog post about this idea when I first built it: <a href="https://codeplusequalsai.com/static/blog/prompting_llms_to_modify_existing_code_using_asts.html" rel="nofollow">https://codeplusequalsai.com/static/blog/prompting_llms_to_m...</a><p>Your development project is run inside a docker container, and you can publish it to make it public and get users, and hopefully earn revenue. The real big goal is to make it easier to build small LLM webapps and not worry about revenue model: as users grow (and token costs grow), so does your revenue, proportionally.<p>Do please tell me what you think about the idea and my implementation!</p>

<p>> Should be "You're thinking".<p>This should be "This should be 'You're thinking'." don't you think? Why bother correcting someone's grammar with a sentence fragment? You're just trading one mistake for another. I'm hoping someone finds a grammar error in my post, because continuing this would be hilarious.</p>

<p>FWIW, I used to love this phrase but over recent years have come to understand it is quite damaging. We live in a society where evil frequently hides behind a ‘stupid’ label, and people bring this quote up to defend or soften actions that are indeed done out of specific malicious intent.</p>
