Am I missing something or is this just optimization with lots of trial and error? I mean look at this tool_calls[1] log, it ran ~100 python scripts to get to the solutions. It just seems like it's fitting a function in the only way it was allowed.

I will say that it's pretty wild to see all the different hypotheses tested.

Really neat tech! Just curious, how much did you leverage AI during the development? This seems like the type of neat tech that we should expect more and more from wielding our new tools well.

Smart response! It's a contraction of you and all, the spelling of which is likely not important.

I was in Santiago when this happened. While working in the basement of my hostel, all the power went out, and it was pitch black. I didn't really think much of it at the time because there had been several minutes-long outages before in various places in Santiago/Chile. When I got upstairs, I noticed that I had no cellular coverage, nor did anyone else, which is when I realized that this one was different. Took about 7hrs to get the power back on in my part of town.

It's very interesting when there is ZERO internet or any other form of external communication. In hind-sight I'd say it was an interesting short simulation for the zombie apocalypse.

> There is no underlying value. No intrinsic value.

I'm surprised this comment still shows up. The intrinsic value is literally all of the energy spent ensuring the validity of the blockchain via expensive PoW. If you want to point at something with no intrinsic value, look to the fiats.

Wow, nice find with the evidence right there! Comments like this is why I read HN. The US may not be fighting with troops, but definitely fighting proxy with it's m.i.c.

Edit: Do you think no aircraft because they'd have to use US trained pilots?

I found bi-vectors[1] to be a really interesting algebra for graphics. Unfortunately, I've not had much use for this kind of math to be able to really dig in.

Photons was only mentioned 4 times at the time of this writing. I appreciate low frequency waves when my eyes are adjusted to those low frequencies. Same as another would high frequency. Is my red the same as yours? My blue is very significant; in this way we experience colors.

To me it just seems like different syntax for different types of abstraction, not based on the OP, but from my own trials. Depending on how the calculation needs to be handled, one or the other may be more useful. As with all conceptual constructs, there's likely more than one conceptual projection in which it can be viewed with maximum clarity.

Thanks for breaking out all these crucial steps!

Do you know of any journal articles that cover step 3? I'm very interested in how this whole process works and can't seem to find much (paywalled at Nature for this one.)

I'm mostly a lurker, but I logged in just to say: wow! nice presentation of topo data!

I think most of these annoyances can be taken broadly from the fact that everything about any Bluetooth experience is just absolute trash.

Why does it take several tries to pair sometimes? When paired, why does it sometimes auto-connect and sometimes not? Why does it just never pair at all? What's with that pair code that it says to enter, but auto fills (sometimes)? And only sometimes do you have to use that code (which is a security thing only implemented on things with screens I'm guessing). I'm sure there's more, but I've already dedicated my days frustration to this.

All that being said, I was very happy to "upgrade" to a Pixel 5a for the 3.5mm headphone jack. It's been a supreme experience to live in the past and future.

Cool analysis! Two questions. 1) Will you share the software you used for this analysis? I briefly scanned the article Methodology, but didn't see names dropped. Forgive me if you mentioned it there. 2) Are you hoping to win an Ig-Nobel prize with this? :D

Speaking of unlearning rotations, has anyone looked at https://bivector.net ? Some other hacker posted it a while back on another thread and I found it to be really intriguing.

This. This is exactly what I was thinking as I was reading through these threads. Logged in just to upvote, but might as well say: "Thanks for being out there my thought-doppelganger!"

The most surprising thing about this is how many HN readers/commenters are actually seeking help at a brick and mortar store full of "geniuses".

Same here! A while back I found some of my old Allegro games from a high school CS class (choked back chunks), and with little effort got them to compile on modern macOS. It was quite nostalgic.

After playing an hour+ of browser emulated Mario Kart 64, and then reading this, it seems that worthwhile art (or software) will be kept alive until it languishes in the cultures mind.

Perhaps this is the statement of the piece, albeit on a shorter timescale. When does a piece of code execute for the last time? When does a piece of art last get appreciated?

Personally, I like how it all went downhill very quickly in the last 10s.
