I hadn't heard of it before, just now looking them up.

Dumb question, but could you pair AI with pangram to make it sound less like AI or would that be a recursive loop? I'm skeptical about it

That's a fair point, though I think this is a different problem to solve
Re:Show HN: Bema: Work messaging built for humans on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @09:35AM (#50352502)
All that you're talking about are UX problems, had we stayed with the Protocol first and "bring your own client" I'm convinced life would have been better.

Everything nowadays is a walled garden behind a PaaS

Signal to noise ratio is such a frustrating problem to solve.

I really wish you succeed and I will take whoever claims that space if they manage to do it right, I am burnt out from all messaging apps and utterly dissatisfied with where things are.

I wish we stayed on IRC, that was peak.

Thank you for this idea, my cats are in for a treat today.

iOS 27 brought this natively now https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-01/ios-27-wa...

I like that you made yours account free

Unrelated but while scrolling, when I scrolled up, the asterisk thingy appeared on the top right corner and I thought it was a spider or some glitch and had a mini freakout before realizing it was the actual branding

I would sacrifice a few benchmark points for higher tok/s actually, especially if more bandwidth as well so I can scale up swarms, then I can likely compensate for any drop and get more mileage out of it.

Re:Let Me Ch... on Monday November 02, 2026 @07:23PM (#50346273)
I guess I am struggling with this concept as a whole, maybe because it’s tied to the passage of time and the idea of stages.

How would you say what you are trying to tell me without those? Or is that the whole point of it lol

Re:Egoless Mathematics in the AI Era on Monday November 02, 2026 @05:32PM (#50344950)
Ah I see where you’re coming from. I was mostly saying that Plato’s work benefits life in general, not to imply go read Plato to cope with your specific situation.

I guess I replied to the parent OP to break into a tangent about Plato solely.

Re:Let Me Ch... on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:42PM (#50343426)
Interesting, this feels like another chicken and egg situation with OP's parent comment related to spending less time in conceptual space.

I guess a meat suit user best system is to ensure its peer network has stable connections and to care for those.

Re:Egoless Mathematics in the AI Era on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:40PM (#50343395)
What did you mean to say by saying that in response to my comment? I am not sure I followed you
Re:Egoless Mathematics in the AI Era on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:24PM (#50343176)
sure, and what you said is also not mutually exclusive to what OP said
Re:Egoless Mathematics in the AI Era on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:21PM (#50343132)
I wish more people read Plato's work, or did shrooms. Both probably works.
Re:Let Me Ch... on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:08PM (#50342932)
Oh very well, so it's corruption on the enjoyment program that leads to misallocation.

What are good logs or signals a meat suit user could monitor in order to watch for misallocation and allow the program to recover?

Re:Let Me Ch... on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:06PM (#50342904)
I didn't understand you, would you mind phrasing it differently?
Re:Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen on Monday November 02, 2026 @02:10PM (#50341984)
can you elaborate?
Re:Let Me Ch... on Monday November 02, 2026 @01:53PM (#50341712)
Why doesn't the meat suit enjoyment program comes with stronger guardrails or systems to enforce this?

One often wonders why bypassing enjoyment is so trivial, would you say this is a feature or a bug?

Apologies, I edited, can you tell me if my edit is ok? EDIT: happy to delete and repost my edit instead too
EDIT: I find talking in that manner in a public setup to be awkward and unpleasant, maybe that's just me.

That said, I think the idea of having a private walkie-talkie that connects on its own frequency for large crowded spaces to be very cool

Re:Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse on Monday November 02, 2026 @12:08PM (#50339972)
no, it was in fact the same doctor, he is really old now, that said it wasn't the same one who ended up performing the surgery
Re:Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse on Monday November 02, 2026 @12:06PM (#50339944)
yeah our family was actually quite happy he called in to follow up, I thought that was the most beautiful thing
Re:Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse on Monday November 02, 2026 @11:50AM (#50339658)
Very different but made me think of a recent personal story.

My father-in-law had an eye accident when he was young, and the doctor at the time said "unfortunately I don't recommend you try surgery, there's a really high risk you go blind".

Fast forward to today, and 40 years later such doctor called him and said "hey, turns out we could do a cornea transplant and surgery today and you have really high chances of success!"

He then went to do the surgery and now has restored his vision fully. He said the surgery was very "robotic" as in there's this super high precision device that does incredible work.

Can you tell me about your data sources, latency, and guarantees?
Release the weights instead
Funny to see "Clean Code" mentioned there, I feel like this is one of those that didn't age well now with code being mostly generated.

You could argue it is still relevant but I would say fuzz testing, formal proof systems, and compilers are going to be where stuff goes instead.
