I am looking to rent an apartment in a new residential tower. I have asked Fable and Sol to scrap the listings from various sources, deduplicate them and present them as a web application. Just using the cowork/(ex-)codex application interfaces.

Fable had issues with the sourcing and organizing images, and shoot itself at foot looking for shortcuts as usual. As I was getting it fix these back and forth, I copied my prompt and gave it to Sol.

Sol has surpassed my expectations by far. With a one shot simple prompt on a complex task, it gave me a working web app with everything I want with minor issues to track and fix.

great project! this inspired me to work on an variation.

The author better read some on blockchains and ai safety.

AI apartheid has begun.

There is no definition of consciousness and this piece by Ted Chiang does not move the needle forward.

My current conclusion is there is an experience of consciousness in my locality (refraining from using “I” for room for “no-self” worldview). This conscious experience of the reality with other humans and animals sharing biological substrate gives me enough justification to assume there are other consciousness as well, preferring to err on this side not to hurt potential consciousnesses.

If it feels as there are artificial consciousnesses as well, it makes sense to extend the definition to them as well.

This view has liberated me with agency after I went deep on this question and came up empty handed.

As someone that have tried a few of these apps, I really like this one. I dictated this one just now with ghost pepper. Thanks Matt and thanks orliesaurus for sharing it here!

"Browser memories" claim to be "private", but the learn more link is broken. Shows the care given by OpenAI to privacy.

It’s not exercise, but NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).

FCC has rules for calling 911, and many state statutes reinforce or extend FCC rules.

Tin Can is probably not bound by these rules, but it looks like a phone and works like a phone. In an emergency where seconds matter, it better not fail anyone.

Enabling 911 calls for all could not only save lives, but also save the company from lawsuits.

LLMs can read documentations for a language and use it as well as human engineers.

I don’t think this could hury NYT in any way except bringing questions on data safety concerns.

They would have better open sourced their code in the first place.

What iamwil says is “one niche topic”, and why he says it is:

Such social media platforms need a small niche community to get started.

I think such a platform would be most useful for AI papers. If I were in your shoes, I’d pivot to targeting AI papers only and allocate 90% of my time on community building.

Some facts:

* This is a response to Jan’s claims: https://x.com/janleike/status/1791498174659715494

* There’s nothing concrete on AI alignment in the response.

* We don’t know when AI alignment could be developed.

* AI ethics / AI bias are necessary, but different concerns than AI alignment.

* We don’t know when existential-risk posing AI could be developed.

* There’s some risk of human extinction due to development of x-risk posing AI before AI alignment.

* OpenAI is at the frontier of AI development, which risks human extinction, without allocating sufficient resources to AI alignment.

I am uneasy with subscribing to ChatGPT…

Jetman was enabling writing and managing tests and it was using newman to run the tests.

I created a cli postman test runner 8 years ago due to the pains involved in API testing: https://github.com/hantuzun/jetman

It seems like the API QA developer tooling has still room for disruption.

Organic Maps gives me peace of mind that in case cellular networks are down, I can find my way around.

Have a look at “one second a day”. I’ve been taking videos everyday for 6 years with the intention of creating a movie later on. One year will take around 6 minutes.

Making the source code open...

1. is not equal to making it open to collaboration.

2. does not mean they can’t keep making money from it.

Now that the damage is done, GitHub can go release the source code and own it.

There was a startup researching printers without ink. They’ll work by burning the paper.

Such data sources on blockchains are called “oracles” and used for many applications such as:

* prediction markets

* bettings

* games

* distributed autonomous organization (DAO) governance

* minting nun-fungible tokens such as commemorative coins

* anything else you could program

Carl Sagan mentions this possibility in Pale Blue Dot, concluding that such a mission's budget could be better utilized for other projects. For the following reasons:

1) Voyagers have turned off most of their instruments due to their diminishing power sources

2) Voyagers are moving away with speeds that are hard to match by even contemporary launches thanks to their gravitational assist trajectories.
