I have given this life advice to lots of people. There are two categories of problems: those that can be solved with some money and those that can't. It's important to realize the first category is much larger than the second. The world is less stressful if you financialize it as much as possible.

Extremely messed up to design a system to not enable rotation of keys, hire someone, give them that key, lay them off, and then make very intense legal threats about how if any exploit ever happens, they will immediately direct the authorities to you.

People are already shipping robots capable of end-to-end manipulation to consumers, and at the forefront is Weave Robotics -- you can order an Isaac to fold your laundry today. We talked about what it means to make an ai-enabled home robot as a product ->

A unitree h1 (2023 version) just broke the human speed record for the 1500 meter run.

This is a huge milestone for humanoid robots. Capabilities have advanced really fast. The capabilities of the hardware that is already being scaled are nowhere close to tapped out.

"I'd like to snack on some blueberries on the way to the car wash. Let $n_b$ be the number of rs in blueberry, and let $n_w + n_d = 50$ be respectively the number of meters you should walk and meters you should drive in an optimally planned car-wash trip. What is $n_w/n_b$?"

I think it's been uniquely framed as "this will take your jobs"

it's also the case IMO that productivity gains in the west are being heavily eaten up by things like housing, so rising tides don't feel like they lift all boats! this is a huge problem! and has nothing to do with the tech

basically yeah. this is the idea of a hook - you should have enough information in your first post to (1) kind of make your point and (2) get everyone to continue reading anyway, to figure out why your claims make sense

there's a certain type of post which is almost certainly human written, but still has the cadence and language of an AI-written post, and that just immediately causes me to zone out and move on. too low entropy.

Tweet from @MasterTimBlais aka “Tim is making things in Brazil now ...”

bro. mine gave the right answer but with absolute moon logic

Attached screenshot shows a conversation with Opus 4.7.

> i need to wash my car. the car wash is only 50 meters away. should i walk there, or drive?

Drive. A wet, freshly-washed car that you then walk home from... is just a car you walked next to. The 50m return trip picks up road grit, splashes, and dust before the water's even dry.
Walking there only makes

holy shit I think opus 4.7 has just cracked my memory adapter idea

gemma E4B bring able to remember messages between context window resets using a dynamic-size memory file using an adapter that decides what is worth memorizing and what isn't and then injects relevant memories at runtime per token

AI is a bad term because it’s not real intelligence, it’s completely artificial. We need a better name, otherwise we’ll trick people into thinking it’s not artificial
