Hence why all the bitcoin miners are cashing in (or trying to) by converting their facilities to datacenters.

I wonder if we get to a world where a full repo sweep like this is a default Github action after commit.

Hard to imagine what a world with 100GW of compute looks like.

^^ This quotes 1.4GW at the end of 2025. Add 0.3GW at Colossus 1, and some initial fraction of 1GW Trainium2 from [2]

These narrow integrations with specific software suites seems like a dead end.

And, somehow every example ended along the lines of "then you hand this to your boss, kick up your feet and have a nice glass of scotch."

It's really interesting how it still feels grounded even though you can fly all around. Having the cursor disappear underneath bridges and behind buildings really helps the illusion.

The internet seems to be saying that 70%+ of Anthropic revenue is per-token metered API, which would largely invalidate the article, but I can't find a solid source.

TALKIE-1930: In programming your computer, set it level, and so that the zero of the scale of inches may coincide with the zero of the scale of feet; slide the index forward until it stops at zero, and then secure it in that position. The computer being thus prepared, set a mark at the termination of each line of figures, and begin to compute at the mark denoting the initial inches.

For me, I think it's referring to a slide rule or mechanical computer.

TALKIE-1930: The probability of a great war in the immediate future is very small. During the last ten years Europe has been comparatively free from great conflicts, and there seems to be no reason why the present peace should be broken. The causes which in former times led to war no longer operate. Nations are no longer impelled to fight because they hate each other. On the contrary, they have learned to understand and respect each other, and personal intercourse has done much to remove ancient prejudices. Commercial rivalry no longer provokes hostilities. The markets of the world are open to all, and each can pursue its own line of industry without let or hindrance from its neighbours. Religious antipathies have lost their force, and, if a conflict should arise, it will not be on a question of creed. The spirit of nationalism, which was so potent a cause of war in the nineteenth century, has spent itself, and France and Germany, Italy and Spain, are no longer eager to fly at each other's throats.

Ah, if only

I joke to myself that the G in ARC-AGI is "graphical". I think what's held back models on ARC-AGI is their terrible spatial reasoning, and I'm guessing that's what the recent models have cracked.

Looking forward to ARC-AGI 3, which focuses on trial and error and exploring a set of constraints via games.

Lots of muralists document the art/business on youtube! Two I like: Kiptoe and SmoeNova

- I had a really hard time building a greenhouse, because I hadn't realized it'd be bigger than 1 square like all the previous buildings, and it just wouldn't build despite having materials etc. Maybe a footprint outline while hovering a build option?

- There were a lot of instructions from Dr. Kimura right off the bat. Hard for me to remember all that, and I was hoping talking to the doc again would replay those hints.

- My population seems to be stuck at 2.. I have landing pads and habitats and plenty of food etc, but don't really know what I should be doing next.

- that menus continue beyond the first couple lines was not obvious to me. Possibly because I'm on laptop, so the existing hint was way far to the right

But seriously, other tasks I've encountered recently that I wish I could delegate to an AI:

- Posting my junk to Craigslist, determining a fair price, negotiating a buyer (pickup only!)

- Scheduling showings to find an apartment, wherein the listing agents are spread over multiple platforms, proprietary websites, or phone contacts

- Job applications -- not forging a resume, but compiling candidate positions with reasoning, and the tedious part were you have to re-enter your whole resume into their proprietary application pipeline app

What strikes me as basic similarities across these types of things, is that they are essentially data-entry jobs which interact with third-party interfaces, with CRM-like follow up requirements, and require "good judgement" (reading reviews, identifying scams, etc).
