<p>I've heard it defined as the ability to learn quickly. Not just in the narrow, academic sense, but also by observing the world and people and drawing conclusions about them. It has to do with pattern recognition and abstraction.<p>Usually these people are knowledgeable because they are constantly learning. Eventually they become wise.<p>What do you think of that definition?</p>

<p>I think you misunderstood the article. 210 IQ isn't enough. The man with 210 IQ is happy not because he has 210 IQ but because he made the choice to be happy.<p>Having a high IQ isn't enough - you  must also choose to be happy.</p>

<p>I appreciate what seems like an attempt to make a "smart camera" that gets out of the way of the player and unburdens them from having to control both a player and the perspective of the camera. That burden, of controlling two entities (player and camera) is large for people who are unused to playing video games.<p>Was this dynamic on your radar when building the game and camera system? Would love to hear your thoughts.</p>

<p>In my opinion there is no such thing as too much dork time. This post is fun, just like cooking. The onion-inspired font for the section titles is fun. The interactive graphs are fun. Also vibe coding is fun.<p>What was the point of this judgmental comment?</p>

<p>Some context from the dev's blog (<a href="https://highrise.digital/blog/building-offline-kids-a-directory-of-screen-free-kids-activities/" rel="nofollow">https://highrise.digital/blog/building-offline-kids-a-direct...</a><p>---<p>"Within the last few weeks, Mark and I have built and launched Offline.Kids.<p>It’s a website to help parents reconnect with their kids and for kids to reconnect with the world around them.<p>Offline.Kids is directory of screen-free activities for all ages. Each activity is categorised so that parents can find appropriate activities for their situation.<p>For example, you can find:<p>quick, clean activities for a 6 year olds
outdoor kids activities that take 1-2 hours
low energy indoor crafts
We built the site off the back of our new directory landing page plugin (catchy name still in progress!). It instantly creates thousands of SEO friendly landing pages for the activities. It’s early days, but Google is successfully indexing the pages and we’ll see how the rankings change over time.<p>So, if you’re looking for screen-free activities for your kids, check out the website, and share with anyone you think might find it useful!"</p>

<p>I take issue with the term "fake podcast." This is like calling AI generated art "fake art."<p>The issue they have is with low-quality content. If the AI generated content was <i>better</i> than most human-created podcasts and were making their engagement numbers go up, I doubt they would be calling them fake or removing them.</p>

<p>That is an issue with general use LLM apps like ChatGPT - they have to have wide appeal, so if you want replies that are differ from what the average user wants, you're going to have a bad time.<p>OpenAI has said they are working on making ChatGPT's output more configurable</p>

<p>This is the voodoo that excites me.<p>Examples I found interesting:<p>Semantic map lambdas<p><pre><code>  S = Symbol(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'cat', 'dog'])
  print(S.map('convert all fruits to vegetables'))
  # => ['carrot', 'broccoli', 'spinach', 'cat', 'dog']

</code></pre>
comparison parameterized by context<p><pre><code>  # Contextual greeting comparison
  greeting = Symbol('Hello, good morning!')
  similar_greeting = 'Hi there, good day!'

  # Compare with specific greeting context
  result = greeting.equals(similar_greeting, context='greeting context')
  print(result) # => True

  # Compare with different contexts for nuanced evaluation
  formal_greeting = Symbol('Good morning, sir.')
  casual_greeting = 'Hey, what\'s up?'

  # Context-aware politeness comparison
  politeness_comparison = formal_greeting.equals(casual_greeting, context='politeness level')
  print(politeness_comparison) # => False
</code></pre>
bitwise ops<p><pre><code>  # Semantic logical conjunction - combining facts and rules
  horn_rule = Symbol('The horn only sounds on Sundays.', semantic=True)
  observation = Symbol('I hear the horn.')
  conclusion = horn_rule & observation # => Logical inference
</code></pre>
`interpret()` seems powerful.<p>OP, what inspired you to make this? Where are you applying it? What has been your favorite use case so far?</p>

<p>re: numbers, you could store them as integers, but just encoded as 10 times their value. So 1.5 becomes 15.<p>Would reduce max score to 400M and you'd have to round 0.25 up or down. Would probably want to drop the 0.01 cards too.<p>super cool project</p>
