I have dedicated checkpoint and commit skills. Checkpoint has it run my review skill, then run my commit skill. The commit skill just asks it to suggest commit messages for my review. Having these skills in place has resulted in claude preferring to use the commit skill instead of committing on its own, and suggesting commit messages to me before actually doing the commit.

My understanding of the average age of a human being 30s-40s is that the average was skewed downwards heavily due to high infant/child mortality rates

I mean, there are some pretty famous DJs out there

Wait I'm sorry but if the policies are to cover catastrophic damage, but if catastrophe actually strikes and the insurance company becomes insolvent, What's the actual point or purpose of insurance then?

Imo it depends on priorities!

What do we care more about? The present? The current generation? Or future generations? Our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren? The perpetuation of human civilization? The perpetuation of human civilization with a set of values that that supports the growth and happiness of all?

That's the first question, right? Alignment. Sustainable alignment.

From there, it's all about sustaining those shared values, and minimizing risk. Build bonds: keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Or establish trust. It works out better in the long run; people don't usually Like to stab each other in the back Trampling starts cycles of revenge, and that's no fun for anyone involved either Exploitation prioritizes short term gain and screws you in the long run, more often than not.

Your two examples are extremely different. Walking away with $9 if you're unlucky and walking away with $0 if you're unlucky are two incredibly different outcomes.

Being successful from winning the lottery, versus being successful from working hard enough such that you qualify for a lottery with significantly better odds.

Sure luck is Involved, the outcome is determined by luck, but work is putting a hand on the scales. And in that sense, your prior comment of it being 100% luck is exaggerated

There's always someone to support you when you need it, someone who will agree when you're right, who will call you out when what you say or the way you phrase something is inaccurate or wrong, but will redirect to focus and support on where you're right or what points have value instead of outright shutting you down.

I'm not saying that AI now does this, nor that billionaires all have this experience either. It's seems like billionaires only get the upsides of this kind of this behavior without enough of the pushback. Or any of it. Which might be your point.

But too many people just don't get anything like this. Helpful critical feedback or positive encouragement and support from relatively knowledgeable sources is an unfortunately scarce resource.

Seems like they want to bring in retail

I think there's a broad spectrum of people, some of whom are role playing, some who think there are no consequences, some who have strong distinctions between the animate and inanimate, and some who just do what they think makes sense

With LLM's, I wonder how far away we are from "a cooking ground for people to experiment with ideas"

You say this like "oh it's just acts on a different kind of opiod receptor" means that it's not meaningfully different.

Your comment also seems to imply that this treatment involves consuming ibogaine habitually or regularly

The protocol for ibogaine treatment, according to the article and the experiments being done, do not have this requirement.

Like other treatments involving psychedelics and hallucinogens, the protocol here is that a one-off treatment, a single dose, results in meaningful improvements in both addictive behaviors and PTSD symptoms a month later and potentially longer

This is not the same as something like methadone or naltrexone, which _are_ what you describe: replacing a more harmful opiate with a less harmful one.

I'm a big fan of bolt hangers personally. They also mark the spot, provide a nice anchor point, and don't require chopping!

Not much difference between a 12" and a 18" lag bolt for the purpose of "how much trash is visible and impacts terrain".

Surface feels a bit fairer in that sense. Or at least, easier to measure.

If it was that'd be an absurd amount of weed being left behind to make a mark on the map.
