Depends on requirement vs. distance.

On a small screen surrounded by the rest of the user's lived experience how does the visual of simulated exhibition contribute? I get the architectural storytelling angle in built space, but on a computer or phone screen it's difficult, for me, to see the contribution. The building is required in the real world, not on my screen. Curious how you justify the elaborate modeling and delivery of the simulated building. A good HTML exhibit of the same content would be more easily accessed and learnable.

We are each a nest of functional dependencies. Perhaps discernment is the ability to know which to introspect. Some people absolutely need to know where the water comes from, some do not.

It's really not that entirely. I've been attending for the past 20 years without networking once. I design and build and run and strike my camp. It's great and zero people try make do anything else. I am sure there are certain percentage of networking striver types but they're flotsam on the sea of the ongoing "artistic rebellion" required to make it happen.

Context for non-Los Angeles residents: the San Gabriel Mountains are those seen looming behind downtown LA in many photos.

Also probably context for many LA people, as most seem to consider those mountains a Hollywood backdrop, not a place you can be in 90 minutes from anywhere in LA (with favorable traffic).

I find this "traitorous to the human species" interesting. You could not form these thoughts without an accumulated knowledge stored/accessed outside human biology. No other species forms such explicit thoughts because they lack access to that accumulated pattern of useful sequences. We've already "transcended" our biology in that sense. Who is directing... that becomes interesting in new ways once outside-a-body sequences start to accumulate. My guess is that it's that accumulation that sets the trajectory, just as DNA's "accumulation" of useful sequences produced forms fit for the local environment(s).

I tackle these ideas/questions head-on using Claude to help book-shape the result. https://spine.zice.app/jeremy/the-smaller-infinity In my view, the accumulating density of useful language/token patterns is the real story, not who/what is processing them. There is no "why" other than the universe's physics permit such accumulation, but that doesn't make the "how" any less interesting.

Holding symbols in a useful order durably and accessibly is an ongoing energetic event. How/why does it happen?

Same problem, in-progress book about language and thermodynamics gets flagged. Their classifier is just a regex I guess?

Apfel is very useful, thanks for the effort.

I think the key thing is that Spotlight is now creating a... knowledge graph? of everything on your device for Siri's consideration. That's potentially very useful.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Came here looking for someone mentioning this very issue. Did they not even view the model's output once? So strange.
