<p>HDMI Ethernet was included in the spec 15 years ago and not a single consumer device (that I am aware of) ever implemented it.<p>Idk why this is so often citied in Smart TV boogeyman arguments.</p>

<p>My internal dialog was impacted, not just external.<p>To get retrospectively nerdy, it felt like switching from a raw text based lookup system to a knowledge graph / vector search.<p>Instead of accessing memories / concepts at a raw text level, I was pulling up lots of metadata and making links to these fusiform concepts that it was invoking. I would then try to find the words to describe what the links were conveying.</p>

<p>I have not, but I really should consider it, so thanks for the suggestion. Even if just for my own processing.<p>The phenomena you’re describing sounds similar to how I experience ADHD in conversation.</p>

<p>This maps with experience taking the anti-seizure medication Topamax in college.<p>I trialed for a month it as an off-label migraine preventative on recommendation from my neurologist.<p>Topamax can dampen neuronal activity in the language area of the brain for some people.<p>It was a terrifying experience, but it was also a valuable one as it changed the way I view intelligence.<p>About 10 days in, my writing and speech skills had devolved to that of a primary school aged child. I tried to type a text message and struggled to come up with simple words like “and”. My speech slowed down considerably.<p>The terrifying thing was that my internal world was still as complex and meaningful as it was before. All of the emotions I felt were real and legitimate. My cognition outside of language was intact, I could do math just fine and conceptualize and abstract problems.<p>In spite of this, I was unable to convey what I was feeling and thinking to the outside world. It felt like I was trapped inside my own body.<p>After recovering, my intuitive understanding of the link between language and intelligence was changed forever.<p>See the following for more info on Topamax/Topiramate language impairment: <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10072-008-0906-5" rel="nofollow">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10072-008-0906-5</a></p>

<p>The naming schema actually tripped me up for a week or so.<p>My brain's initial conception of the concepts was earth-relative, so I mapped it as:<p>Sol = big, it's the sun
Luna = medium, in-between sun and earth, space
Terra = small, terrestrial</p>

<p>I was keeping mine alive on life support until about two years ago when I updated to the Samsung 5K display.<p>Loved the extra screen real estate of the 30" ACD and it's a beautifully designed product that I enjoyed having on my desk.<p>In its last year or two the backlight wear started to result in colors to become uneven. Blues were less vibrant and reds had tint issues.<p>Was also difficult to justify the power draw, it had a 150w power supply.</p>

<p>Hi Felix, this looks like an incredible tool. I've been helping non-tech people at my org make agent flows for things like data analysis—this is exactly what they need.<p>However, I don't see an option for AWS Bedrock API in the sign up form, is it planned to make this available to those using Bedrock API to access Claude models?</p>

<p>I agree. I think it comes down OpenAI's superior post-training.<p>ChatGPT is better at:<p>A) Interpreting what I'm asking it for me needing to provide additional explicit context.<p>B) Formatting answers in a way that are easily digestible.</p>
