Why stop there? Combine this with other knowledge testing methods:
pre-code: planning mode
coding: humantodo.dev
after-code: sphinx hook
I think the elephants knew where he lived, so that’s the easy part.
Now regarding how elephants knew he passed (all the sources I’ve seen say no one told the elephants), there are few possibilities:
- whole thing is made up
- someone told the elephants
- the elephants knew through magic/energy/tree of life/etc
- the elephants knew from other animals, maybe the crows told them
Now take your belief
It is really stories like these remind us to being kind to animals.
When Lawrence Anthony ("The Elephant Whisperer") died of a heart attack, two separate wild elephant herds began walking from different remote areas, covering roughly 12 miles over 12 hours, arriving outside his family home two days after his death, the herds stood near for two full days and nights like a vigil to mourn[1].

"512GB memory option for M5 Ultra coming late October"
IMO these kind of advices never matters. Any individual still needs to make tens or hundreds of little decisions (every day) themselves, and that's what really makes all the difference.
This trend started even before AI but just go accelerated recently. Us software engineers are sitting in the front-row experiencing it first and hardest. Not just the fact AI can code now, adjacent terms of similar symptoms are also "loneliness epidemic", "cost of living", etc.
Before this turns into an endless rant, back to the question: in the age of "100:1 agents to human ratio soon?", we should be even more nicer to each other fellow human beings. That may help us find purpose/motivations again.

Agreed “remembering” stuff is critical in most life’s situations where if you did, you will appeared to be smart. This is probably why spaced repetition has been a key element in learning for the past few decades.
But “remembering” is only the beginning (you have to remember first!), after that, elements like understanding relations, connecting dots and remixing, timing, etc will truly make one shine.
In one way, it’s like the current “LLM + Harness” setup for agents. LLM is how well it remembers, but different harness techniques really matters, at times even a worse model mixed with great harness can outperform great model with bad harness
Interesting. I’m also a night owl who struggled waking up like an early bird. Was the transition and efforts worth it? Recently I tried to find a better schedule other than spending another X years fighting my biological clock
Guys I’m joking btw, left the comment during my jest mood
When you define prosperity in large amount of people, it makes you sound like a communist, and America spent decades to avoid that. The other alternative is to sound like a capitalist, which is very much ok by today’s standards.
Stripe about to acquire OpenRouter for $10B, and Airtable is only ~1/10th of OpenRouter???
Similar to where we simply ask LLM to leave 20% of the work undone: humantodo.dev
“The oppressors left, but their systems remain”
> AI companies see people's images and data as raw material to be exploited
What a quote
It’s not crazy. I always add a simple message to my prompts: “leave 20% solutions empty and I’ll implement them myself”.
It work wonders for me.
I’m completely on your side, but also I think about all the AI saturations in the society like this:
“Driving to work or running a 10km on the weekend sharing the same surface goal: from A to B.
You may have less autonomy whether you should drive to work, but you definitely have more decision power about whether to go for that run or not”
Given the audience here, I think an adjacent analogy would be “if we were to understand tech today, do we always go back to the beginning of tech?”
Then the answer is more clear as yes and no. Obviously much of our tech today adapts to modern innovations and standards, but it would not be hard to quickly find examples where even the most cutting edge tech are still being affected by the earliest decisions or natural limitations.
Agreed. If it's "digital", it will be used for elite power plays, because it's too easy. How else could you mass control/analyse/manipulate millions of people instantly? Digital, digital, digital...

This is a surprise. And they still haven't included corepack as an official instruction on the nodejs.org download page. Is corepack a failed experiment?
