Just got this from the library, it's a real page turner. Heard about it in this excellent interview: https://www.typetheoryforall.com/episodes/goedel-s-incomplet...

Good find, but I'm curious if anyone is ever sweeping the base of the logarithm in real life.

I don't think it makes sense to post this in HN. The comments are full of sock puppets posting very dumb anti-safety comments in an attempt to make the anti-safety camp look bad.

A philosopher or meditator should chime in here. Spending a modicum of time in meditation shows you that intentions just show up from nowhere, they're not "you". We might as well call the earring "your prefrontal cortex" (or whatever), and this would describe the current state of things.

I'm not so sure anymore that it's trivial to write this single-job interface without security holes.

No, the OPEC crisis.

I wonder how these companies airgap the weights while allowing prompts to come in and outputs to come out.

The lines at the pump only happened because of rationing rules, which led people to hoard and buy gas when they otherwise wouldn't have.

Epstein files showed he neglected to visit his seriously sick son because he was hanging out with Epstein. He still knows his stuff, asshole or not.

Peter Attia had a great series of blog posts on this before his fall from grace:

He also had a series of podcast interviews about this with Tom Dayspring.

I believe his explanations are all mainstream, except he favors treating LDL and LP(a) more aggressively than normal doctors

But I vaguely remember them being expensive due to not being covered by insurance. Maybe this will change that?

Why without Rowid? Are you using non-integer primary keys?

Or even just that a human had iterated a bit more with the LLM to improve the style.

Can we learn something from these vulnerabilities? New categories of attacks and corresponding protections?

Just wait until that other company hard-codes Fable into silicon and then it will be cheaper.

I don't know if most people would dismiss the sentence "all matter has a sort of proto-subjectivity very different from ours but which gives rise to ours". And it solves some problems (introducing others).

I like the idea, but I'm curious where to draw the boundary. If only I can read it, it can be my full recollection of everything. If I add my siblings, parents, cousins, etc, then some articles become painful or controversial (e.g. divorce, disease). Or I just ommit all the unhappy parts.
