> “How do you find problems worth working on?”
They usually find me.

Begun, the noise-cancelling wars have.

I used to play with Lotus on my mom's work computer when I was a child. Today I'm doing AI Safety research and when I'm examining experiment data I use the closest modern tool to Lotus: https://www.visidata.org/

I'm happy to see this. It belongs in the stdlib and not a third-party module.

It's my fantasy to do this. Congrats on having the courage.

Maybe 50-year-old COBOL programs are the original neural networks.

I wrote it in a way that's too intertwined with my other shit to be shareable with people, but honestly you can copy-paste my comment to your friendly neighborhood LLM and you'll get something decent. Indeed it uses `env`.

The most useful script I wrote is one I call `posh`. It shorten a file path by using environment variables. Example:
$ posh /home/ramrachum/Dropbox/notes.txt
$DX/notes.txt
I use this a lot in all of my scripts. Basically whenever any of my script prints a path, it passes it through `posh`.

Dating apps are not meant to be efficient, definitely not to someone with a developer mindset.

I wrote this Chrome extension to solve this problem for myself 2 years ago: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/focustoscroll/jbcpo...
Apparently no one else was interested in it. I still use it daily.

Can you share a photo of the backpack?

I printed it but it doesn't work :(
I'm applying multi-agent reinforcement learning to AI Safety. I want to ensure that Artificial Intelligence will benefit human society rather than hurt it. I'm addressing both short-term consequences of existing AI tools such as LLMs and long-term existential risk imposed by the potential development of Artificial General Intelligence.
I propose to solve the problem of AI Safety by improving the social behavior of AI agents. Most AI research is focused on getting AI agents to solve bigger and more complex problems in the most efficient way possible; my research is focused on achieving cooperation, reciprocity and teamwork between AI agents.
My strategy is to distill lessons from the study of animal and human societies and apply them to AI agents.
