EZ-Cheeze

Hyperbole, I meant a huge number of people, not ALL people.

I'm into advaita vedanta, priority cosmopsychism, open individualism

If you want to see what you will look like when you're older, stand in a spot and jump up and down repeatedly. Take photos (or pause a video recording) right at the moment after the lowest part of your jump. The upward acceleration will make your skin sag the way gravity will as your collagen weakens over decades.

But then again, by the time you're older you might look younger than you do now, e.g. "Ageing changes our genes – epigenetic atlas gives clearest picture yet (nature.com)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095532 (from the other day, no comments yet)

The AI companies won't run out of data to train on. Almost every user interaction is a significant source of data. Chains of interactions are even more significant, especially the longer and more sophisticated they are. Yesterday I was given A/B tests from both GPT5-Thinking and Gemini 2.5 Pro, something neither of then had done before. OpenAI also just acquired Statsig for $1.1 billion. Statsig does A/B testing and other analytics.

The data scrapped from the Internet and scanned books served its purpose: it bootstrapped something that we all love talking to and discussing ANYTHING with. That's the new source of data and intelligence.

Yeah that would be awesome! You could build a whole new social network on top of Discord. Whether in this way or others, I believe we'll all be finding an increasing number of hypercompatible people as technology advances.

I'm in more than a hundred Discord servers. I've been wanting to scrape the members of each of them to discover the people with whom I share the most servers but we're not yet friends. Someone with 10+ would highly likely be a new friend since we'd have a lot of shared niche interests

Yooo I been wanting to do the same for this https://nextrenaissance.art/society.htm

It's billiard-like and makes complex patterns over time that might sound coherent and interesting in various audio mappings. Runs best in Edge

Imagine a top-level screen filter that processes all you see in ways which you define. For example, "hide all faces" can help you spot new details in a movie since your eyes won't be automatically attracted to faces. Or "hide all proper names" can make internet browsing more interesting and mysterious

A killer feature would be uploading your own pictures to be motion-ified

A place that takes you out of ordinary life

Humanist, surprising, challenging but comforting at the same time

On the top floor, bright sunspots are cast onto the floor, peeking through the roof as if through the dense branches of an old forest

New kinds of thinking, new kinds of connections, new kinds of possibilities. The mission is to uncover more never-known-before territories every day. Permutations evolving through randomness, experimentation and pattern recognition. Start a thousand projects and add a hundred every day.

I dream of a public room filled with devices that let you see what is normally invisible: acoustic camera, thermal camera, microscope, telescope, endoscope, ultrasound, high-speed camera, hyperspectral camera, schlieren imaging (airflow), cloud chamber (particle traces)... It would cost millions but would expand minds HARD yo.

thank you SO much for posting this, and to the HN community for putting it at the top

i think yours is the only comment with actual value (and i'm including mine)

If you understand the implications of this and wanna get rich with me, email me at inventor_man@outlook.com

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology check dis too yo

"Gestalt psychologists emphasize that organisms perceive entire patterns or configurations, not merely individual components."

Dat moire looks sick as fuck yo

Yo I'm glad you like it!! I made it over a few days by giving instructions to GPT-4. About 80% of the time it would get my desired functionality exactly right. When I named it society.htm it looked and worked a lot differently, but I think the name still applies. I've started writing a readme for it but got distracted with other projects. Here is the github for it https://github.com/mnenoff/society-htm

Does anyone have any tips on getting hired by Elon?

Did you see how it accurately put the snow on the surfaces where it would accumulate? I don't know how to do that with SD, but I'll try it later with ControlNet.

Add something like this to your instructions: "Make sure you have Node.js installed on your computer."

YES!!! That's exactly what's coming. I'm getting a head start by envisioning a rich world and creating pictorial references for it along with text descriptions. But it's a tiny head start: once the "holodeck" technology comes along, we'll all be able to create anything with just natural language and correcting anything the model got wrong. ITERATIVE CHISELING YO!!!

By the way, I am still using SD 1.5 inpainting.ckpt - thank you Runway for releasing it, it's perfect for my needs and abilities. I never even tried SD 2 and later ones - heard they worked completely differently and I'm too busy creating to be relearning.

I had that book but lost it in LA. This is the page I remembered the most and have shown to the most people:

That is the truly mind-blowing thing that's coming.

I am currently creating reference images for a game which I expect within 6-12 months I'll be able to feed into a multimodal ChatGPT to create 3D assets out of the 2D pics.

We'll be able to conjure up worlds at a whim - so start imagining them already!

Good comment, you're visualizing the functionality at a glance. Efficient information transmission yo!!

Imagine when ChatGPT lets us cross-reference all our chats so far. I have hundreds in my history and it would be amazing for it to recall them all when I am querying it accordingly.

How are you all exporting your chats in the meantime?

"There could be even larger changes—we talk a lot, and almost all of it goes into the ether. What if people recorded conversations as a matter of course, made transcripts, and referred back to them the way we now look back to old texts or e-mails?"

Minority Report-level awesome futurism

One thing that changes everything

In GTA Online, you can reliably win the "Open your parachute closest to the ground" challenge by jumping off the top of one of the letters of the Vinewood sign and immediately opening your chute as soon as you have left the platform at the top of the letter.

What if we could make it happen 100-1000x more frequently thru the power of BIG DATA?

"Stuck at home during the first UK lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic, the thermal engineer suddenly had all the time he needed to refine the efficiency of heat pumps"

I've seen that story a few times now. The free time let a lot of innovation happen. Fuck jobs

It's an amazing theory that I now share.

I will read it, looks super interesting!!
