Godspeed, sir.

It's probably trained in a video game-like environment.

A sultry saxophone riff would free me from the human condition & constant struggles. Come on Genie!

Heck yes, Minecraft is very good for this! Highly hackable. I'm so grateful it exists so we can get more people excited in computers and computation and hacking and building.

Minecraft worlds also have low Kolmogorov complexity and high logical depth, producing these incredible complex worlds from a seed and a relatively small program. Just that observation is drilled into every player's experience in a visceral way and I think it's a useful thing for more people to know and appreciate. A kind of intuition for complexity and compressibility.

You raise a great point. The kids are alright!

Will check out your threads.

[Like you I also worry about short form video, but I note that in the past humans have got bored of these types of addictions so you might find we see it waning at some point.]

Such a good show. My kids grew up on it!

Wow cool!

Happy days. I think Prince of Persia is one of the only games I beat.

Did you ever play Another World by Erich Chahi? Still one of the greatest games and still good today.

I am lucky that weather is not a problem here, and yes we are grid connected. So I am 100% net positive on solar inference with 5kW.

Conan the Barbarian and Below the Root on our Apple IIe. Tiny worlds behind the glowing Orange CRT. How do I make something like this? My mum (lol) helped me figure out how to get keyboard input in BASIC. I made a little game where an O character chases your X character around the screen. Core game loop. Browsing pirate CGA games at the warung in Pondok Indah, well outside the jurisdiction of US law. Glorious rack upon rack of tiny worlds to explore. Death Track and Prince of Persia. More BASIC and that gorilla throwing bananas. Later on the Multiline BBS. Talking late into the night with tech weirdos twice my age. All manner of mind bending ideas. Newsgroups. Punks and skaters and cypherpunks. Predicting what was coming, seeing the future we expected unfolding. Downloading Commander Keen over FTP. WinSock and Netscape. My first homepage. Downloading Linux and getting it running. Configuring XFree86 modelines all night lol. Turbo Pascal and VAX VMS at uni. My first job coding. Hacking out web backends in gnarly ass Perl. No databases just blatting and slurping comma delimited text files lol. Getting paid to do the most exciting thing there was to do, all day. Magic.

You only need about 1kW to run a local inference machine. Even a 5kW array is overkill if you are using it during sunlight hours.

This could be significantly cheaper if they used a different model.

Yes, thanks!

People who are already using LLMs to drive Clojure REPLs say it works well (see #ai-driven-development on the Clojure Slack). I don't think forgetting which cells have been run is a problem with the described set up.

Interesting that you choose "regressive" as the opposite of progressive. thinking emoji
