My research would be wildly out of date by now but I'm happy to chat. I probably have pre-corrections copies of some of the papers I could send you... and about a hundred citations I fetched back when I was doing this research.

Oh hey, something I know something about!

I've long held the belief that if you want to simulate human behaviour, you need human-like memory storage, because so much of our behaviour is influenced by how our memories work. Even something as stupid as walking into between rooms and forgetting why you went there, is a behaviour that would otherwise have to be simulated directly but can be indirectly simulated by the memory of why an Agent is moving from room to room having a chance of disappearing.

Now, as for how useful this will be for something that isn't trying to directly simulate a human and is trying to be "superintelligent", I'm not entirely sure, but I am excited that someone is exploring it.

I never did get many citations for these, maybe I just wasn't very good at "marketing" my papers.

Is this an alt account I didn’t know I had?

its globally in the hub. The announcement says they are rolling out the block in March but this already blew up my k8s clusters since last weekend. Have tried looking for an option to tell k8s to always use authentication tokens for image pulls, but can't find a way, going to have to add Kyverno to mutate all incoming Deployments to add imagePullSecrets.

Lots of examples on this channel, but here’s a lovely one https://youtu.be/I8r2EAb0Yoo

Appreciate your concern! :) Apparently hypoglycemia without diabetes is a thing (you prompted me to google), so I've ordered a blood sugar monitor and I'll do tracking for a week or two with a fast.

Yeah unfortunately I’ve had these symptoms throughout my life, have been regularly checked for diabetes but no dice. My dad has type 1 so we recognised my symptoms, but apparently it isn’t diabetes.

If someone can make it so it doesn't feel like I can no longer think or move any muscles or start sweating if I go more than about 3 hours without eating, then I'm on board! Also hunger pangs. Please no.

That certainly sounds like Accenture.

I think curated packages is part of what https://tidelift.com/ is trying to achieve.

I have an outstanding Bounty on a SO question for how to write a reusable useRef hook that only runs on the very first mount under StrictMode conditions:

Saw this and instantly want one. I have no idea what I’ll use it for, maybe just an extremely expensive fidget spinner, but I want one.

As per usual living in the UK will make it cost prohibitive to make it myself, but I would pay probably $150-200 for a retail one.

I'd love to know more about how you're doing enums. We use JSDoc annotated JS code with tsc switched on to get the IDE integration, and I spent a huge chunk of time yesterday getting enums to work so that for example we could define a type where only certain enum values were valid (enum member types https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#unio... )

Was preparing a blog post on this enum work, but if you've solved it differently it'd be great to know :)

I did something pretty similar for a Brother thermal printer, it took a couple of weeks and I completely lost my mind at one point when I tried to print a single pixel and it ended up as a gigantic block... https://daveirvine.me/#ninety_bytes_is_720_bits

I think you should be able to do something similar to the webpack config that Vue ships would be to use https://github.com/igoradamenko/esbuild-plugin-alias and pass in a similar `runtimeCompiler` option to your build script.
