suburbs are the worst.

Natural noises have a rhythm that doesn’t stress us out and wake us. Methodical.

A busy road can mostly start to blend into white noise. Unless it’s absolute sociopaths honking in residential neighborhoods.

Suburbs though have leaf blowers that your asshole neighbor uses 2 hours before it’s legal to use it.

That noise is inconsistent, and it is the worst sound. Some people just suck though.

All code is either useless or unreadable
Hey, this currently has a bug but I want to share here.

The framework should be clear.

I’ve written a React pattern for writing interactive fiction using LLMs.

Here’s a demo with Taskmaster roleplay implemented.

Especially in the water I neither want the burden of being attached to something nor the burden of retrieving it.
The machine understands, we do not, and so it is not science?

Can we differentiate?

How do they compare on accuracy per watt?

Guns make violence worse, so regulate them.

The prime actor in violence is a person, and that person still has the capacity for violence without a gun.

But let’s still prefer they don’t have one.

And fine tuning datasets will be compressed and sent rather than the whole model

I dislike guns or arguments that because there are guns we need more guns. I expect we’re ideologically aligned on guns.

Except you’re supporting the point.

AI is more like the state with its army and high tech rifles than a predator with a pistol.

AI will deeply centralize power if computing resources and data availability dominate.

Indeed. My love for reading went Gone With The Wind.

Local LLMs are sluggish on my M2 Air 8GB,

but up until these these things I felt I could run whatever I wanted, including Baldur’s Gate 3.

Phrases and ideas repeat, because the universe has patterns and structure.

I don’t know why, but that’s fucking hilarious

I want to see case studies on these ideas, e.g. combining LLMs with behavior trees.
They should just be ubiquitous OS daemons at this point. They’re clearly very valuable
Something can be unconstitutional if it indirectly but intentionally stifles e.g. right to demonstrate against an administration known to use violence against protesters.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

I can’t fault anyone who finds an out and takes it. But to hoard — say — several lifetimes of wealth, that’s something else.

yeah and you missed the irony mocking that very comment

A sentence is both a sequence and a tree of phrases. Phrases have a head and one or more valents; they’re relations.

If you wanted to create an embedding algorithm for phrases, you could and you could throw a transformer at it.

I don’t know how you get the output of higher levels to diffuse to phrase and word levels.

In case you’re thinking that rhyming requires planning, that’s just as silly as a rabbit tanning.

You can make things up as you go, and the constraints emerge from the flow.

But he is high every single moment at work by your reasoning, yes?
