Developed a UI with Claude here:

It really shows how inefficient such a compression would be. Haha nice idea

Point taken about the index potentially being really long. Why would the length be longer than the data? Don’t you need to find the right sequence?

What does ADRS stand for?

Smart, how do you backup the users encryption keys?

You’re assuming they would attempt to produce gold exactly the same way. The process would likely evolve to become better. What happens if you add a growth rate?

I’d like to 3rd the thanks for Aider it’s fantastic!

How do you measure positive and negative societal impact of this technology?

I find mobile phone face unlock so useful, giving every citizen the power to use face recognition could be better than a few people, robots that identify someone and give them lifesaving medication are great (but the opposite, robot assassin can also be created). I guess it comes down to good people building good tools. Humans are generally kind and empathetic

It depends on the tool you use and I guess the use case too. Some are language model agnostic like aider in the command line, I use sonnit sometimes and then 4o other times. I wonder if or when language models will become highly differentiable. Right now I see them more like a commodity that are relatively interchangeable but that is shifting slightly with other features as they battle to become platforms

Haha yes!!

“You can’t make this stuff up”

I built an email notifier for alerting me when there is a popular news article which I defined by X number of comments. I think forums like hacker news are a really cool indicator for an emerging technology, an opportunity, or some exciting tech story. I get a tonne of false positives though, mostly articles that are inflammatory get sent to me. However, crowd strike triggered it as did the release of chat gpt so there are some hits

Thanks a lot for this, I’ll check it out

I suspect you’d have trouble opening ports on the client’s machine. Maybe you could use a dedicated http proxy the client talks to

Technology like this will create huge selection pressures against desktop apps if it becomes easy for people to reverse engineer, remove payment mechanisms, and then freely distribute. Wouldn’t you think?

Did you get ChatGPT to help you write this and is one of your main use cases generating bash commands? (Code writing code, there’s a total feedback loop happening here) I did too but wrote mine in Python. A compiled language would be much faster and using their streaming function I’m yet to implement. Any other ways you can increase the speed?

Cool projects, I’d definitely like my server to be able to do all these things. What have you used to deploy it?

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I find this kind of tool really useful, Aider in particular. I made my own cli tool for interacting with GPT. It’s really useful with the -c flag for generating code especially bash commands I've forgotten

This comment is brilliant. Thank you. I’m so excited now to build a bot that uses predictive video. I wonder what the most simple prototype would be? Surely one that has a simple validation loop that can say hey, this predicted video became true. Perhaps a 2D infinite scrolling video game?

Awesome explanation, thanks for the comparison

The luddites during the Industrial Revolution in England.

Termed the phrase “the Luddite fallacy” the thinking that innovation would have lasting harmful effects on employment.

As a non smoker, I’d much rather breathe on a plane today than potentially next to someone smoking.

How do you know if the reduction in filters / bleed air causes more people to get sick? Filters would naturally require less replacement since they don’t have to take away as many toxins. Couldn’t that allow filters to free up more viral particles?

I liked the article! Thanks

In New Zealand, most fund platforms have a custodian - an entity that holds the assets you buy on the platform. If the platform busts, you’re safe because your assets are held with the custodian and not the platform.

But that then begs the question, what happens if the custodian goes bust? Well custodians also have a custodian, diversifying the risk one step further (but not completely). Custodian inception!

I second that, a super quick overview I find useful. The Fireship YouTube videos which explain things in”100 seconds” are great
