I stopped reading papers, journals, blog/internet posts, books, etc written after 2022 unless lots of people repost it as high quality (and even then i take caution because how do i know it is not agents just lauding random things in convergence?).

My time reading older (e-)books has skyrocketed.

I basically stopped using reddit, threads and hacker news.

I recently noticed I need to stop watching youtube videos made after 2024 too. This is especially a problem with shorts and reels on instagram. a few days ago I watched a short describing some random spiderman comic lore, and it was full of errors. The errors aren't even always about being referencing the lore correctly. Sometimes these AI videos will make a claim and then never explain it or even contradict it.

I cant even read some manga recently because I am pretty sure some mangaka are using AI a lot more than they claim they are. The recent one piece chapters since egghead have unreal pacing, and I am not even sure if the storyboarding is made entirely by oda anymore. By unreal pacing I mean this, some one piece arcs 15 years ago would be 24 chapters, but in recent arcs, just one fight or character talking takes 13 chapters! The pacing change is completely different. Togashi of HxH is very upfront about considering/using AI tools, and the quality of HxH has not dropped, so maybe I am being pessimistic.

Wait generics? What changed? Why is golang accepting of generics now?

There are other forms of logic? is intuitionistic logic as rigorous? fascinating

edit: the link says it is a weakening. if it is weakened, how can you prove the same stuff? i am a bit confused but i can see how it is useful for smarter people than me!

it just a lot of complexity and i don't want to deal with it but i have to because of all these dark patterns. sometimes i enable pass key and don't even notice.

it is less useful for physics, math, and music since fluency is so much important.

It is important for language acquisition too, but the language involves a lot more rote memorization than the above.

it kinda seems like openai is doing this willinglyy and not challenging it. if they weren't doing this willingly, how would this be legal? has congress already passed a law giving the executive branch regulatory powers like this?

It is surprising that the Claude web app lags pretty easily when using either chromium or firefox on ubuntu linux. Chats that delay my laptop work without issues on my ipad or iphone using the app.

The web app is definitely a bit of a problem. IF there is a native app on desktop or if claude cli is much faster, i haven't tried them.

huh it is actually the opposite direction, low recall and high precision.

once again getting the right answer on the internet is posting a wrong one assertively :) thanks

You would probably get the right person in a list of candidates that would be too long to be useful.

not necessarly agentic

i use comfyui to generate cartoons for some comedians

i also have an n8n pipeline (there is an agent here) that mines social media for certain topics and audio

i also use gemini to transcribe audio from sets and to generate scripts

i am working on a clipmaker because I find opus pro and others to leave out context and audience reactions too often.. i will just upscale in topaz anyways.

> Their defense is that they are a gamified futures contracts and hence should fall under CFTC regulation.

That might be the defense. They are inherently designed to leverage insider trading though. I made a top level comment with links/resources that argues why.

i get paid in vibes and chilling as well for some similar agent stuff i do for content creators.

quick question, how do you manage these side projects that kinda need to be production ready but aren't you are actual SF job lol?

some of these people think they are my actual customer/client but like i do it for fun and to help them out.

thanks for sharing.

i met an associate working for a particular VC and they were really into time series foundational models. I argued the most of the "Why real forecasting problems break the whole frame" as to why they were wasting their time at that time.

she was totally convinced i was wrong because she was discussing investing with some top and well respected researchers that were really pushing this and wanted to make a startup around it.

i was and am still confused as at all the wishful thinking. then again, sometimes the best time to sell an idea is right before you think it is possible.

> No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text.

If there is text on the video (like a caption or wtv), will the embedding capture that? Never thought about this before.

If the video has audio, does the embedding capture that too?
