I think the schism happened for several reasons, none of which I can personally account. If people really want to dig in, the subreddit r/academicbiblical is full of well, academics and people who know their stuff.

A lot of them. Claude is a choice. Here is the list : https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/assistant.html

You can even choose a model for each turn.

I have seen way too many people in my surroundings go off their rockers after too many ayahuasca trips, especially if they do it in a short time frame, they get emotionally unregulated.

So when do you use Fable? For difficult singular tasks?

If this is true, this is the person some folks think is fit to lead a nation. One little thing not suiting his whim of the day? Lets hate something that helps with energy production.

Welcome the world of transactional opportunism.

Looks like every time a new “big thing” gets invented, the big thing becomes like a hammer and everything else turns into the proverbial nail. Then it was atomic everything, not its AI everything. Same pattern repeating.

How about HN make a rule where you can’t just post your latest vibe, you need to tell us why and how this project fits and what it meant writing it. Put the effort in, remove the low-effort.

Wait it uses “blast radius” ? In what context?

That sounds horrible. I got an old PI4, would it make for a decent router, if at all possible?

What does this line mean “ the web at a rapid rate and build corpora.” , what are they trying to do? Suck up data for training AI or something else?

Luckily a lot of research has gone into Vedic recitation from an academic perspective if someone would take up the mantle.

Yes, I think agree with what you say. I think the future is still wide open, and I feel we must start thinking of what creates better results in the long run.

I think the sibling comment shares some good examples. Maybe future drone armies is another one.

That you don’t see anything scary that’s your prerogative of course.

Your perspective is a short arc. “Look what I can do now and look it made me way more productive.” I have no doubt it is true, you are on the up right now.

However thinking of the long arc is important to, even though it has no consequence for you right now. AI is a force multiplayer and scarily dangerous in the wrong hands. We can already see by these discussions how uncertain things are.

Just food for thought.

I really want to read more about this. It’s fascinating but also very difficult to wrap your head around. I did enjoy the Feynman talks.

I think I recently learned that the Higgs is actually not that much part of imparting mass for atomic particles. I thought it imparted all mass.
