I picked up Tao Te Ching as an American teenager and was moved by how it cuts against the American faith in visible dominance and self-assertion, proposing a form of strength that is low, quiet, and unseen. It's much more than that of course, but that aspect had immediate impact on my thinking.

Had a hard time parsing this, assumed "breeder" was the role of a human ranch hand, and you were telling them about family trivialities ("bull") so they felt included and soothed. Theory really fell apart around the time you started giving them corn and "sweet feed".

Re:Directus – real-time REST and GraphQL API of any SQL database
on Sunday February 23, 2025 @06:43PM (#43154342)
The eternal red flag of a DB UI that tries to support wildly different backends explains a lot of the problems. Many sane and powerful Postgres features can't be used because Directus also needs to support SQLite, for example. Views not properly supported, search features inadequate, graphql DSL with arbitrary limitations, a lot of weird or dysfunctional relational patterns when something much simpler would do... it's a parallel, inferior system on top of stock pg that is very frustrating when used at some depth.

Re:First AI-generated and 3D-printed shoe makes its dubious debut

> The Syntilay company used Midjourney AI to create the basic shape of the shoe, after which an artist drew a sketch based on Midjourney's creation. That image was run back through Vizcom AI to produce a 3D computer model. After that model was created, generative AI was used to apply the patterns to the model, to give it some character.
I assumed this was going to be a functional evolutionary algorithm to make an efficient shape, it's just an image generator and an artist in the loop
Re:People who are good at reading have different brains: study
on Sunday December 15, 2024 @02:04AM (#42422011)
Yeah word replacement is exhausting, and it does feel like the two fluent states for me are extreme relaxation and a very specific amount of localized stress. Lots of... unnatural pauses. Sometimes warmup sounds like "uhhh" that can inject a kind of vowel before a word. Have you tried listening to an AI version of yourself speaking fluently? I have and sent it to some friends – one of their points of feedback was that the cadence isn't like mine. My cadence is built around stuttering avoidance!

Thanks. Censor – it's hard to say what's happening because it's not even carried through in the transcription, but the agent will say one word at the start of a natural sentence and then stop talking. Seems to only happen with Gemini.

Fun!
The 11labs agent product is promising but very buggy, I was glad to see some of those issues in your implementation as well. The agent often drops out and comes back randomly after long stretches of silence. They also seem to be running some kind of half-functional censor on the llm output when used with Gemini 1.5. It also bills 500 credits for any time < 1 minute, not the aggregate use.

No, practices like time restricting eating do more than that, into autophagy, insulin exposure, diurnal effects, SIRT1 and AMPK, and on. You can eat an equal amount of calories in a smaller window of time and see benefit.

My wish is for one UI that specializes in one database like Postgres. These database engines are so powerful now, but generalist UIs can never take advantage of the specializations. Directus et al have the same problem.
