Instead of accessing memories / concepts at a raw text level, I was pulling up lots of metadata and making links to these fusiform concepts that it was invoking. I would then try to find the words to describe what the links were conveying.

I have not, but I really should consider it, so thanks for the suggestion. Even if just for my own processing.

The phenomena you’re describing sounds similar to how I experience ADHD in conversation.

No, it was not. My ability to process information aurally, textually, and visually was unaffected.

This maps with experience taking the anti-seizure medication Topamax in college.

I trialed for a month it as an off-label migraine preventative on recommendation from my neurologist.

Topamax can dampen neuronal activity in the language area of the brain for some people.

It was a terrifying experience, but it was also a valuable one as it changed the way I view intelligence.

About 10 days in, my writing and speech skills had devolved to that of a primary school aged child. I tried to type a text message and struggled to come up with simple words like “and”. My speech slowed down considerably.

The terrifying thing was that my internal world was still as complex and meaningful as it was before. All of the emotions I felt were real and legitimate. My cognition outside of language was intact, I could do math just fine and conceptualize and abstract problems.

In spite of this, I was unable to convey what I was feeling and thinking to the outside world. It felt like I was trapped inside my own body.

After recovering, my intuitive understanding of the link between language and intelligence was changed forever.

The naming schema actually tripped me up for a week or so.

My brain's initial conception of the concepts was earth-relative, so I mapped it as:

Sol = big, it's the sun Luna = medium, in-between sun and earth, space Terra = small, terrestrial

It's because they take PCBs spec'ed for micro-usb and just replace the port with USB-C.

I work in the industry.

It's kind of hard to prove a negative, so I'll reverse the question:

Show me a source / proof that says that a single retail device ever implemented HDMI HEC.

HDMI Ethernet was never adopted or implemented on consumer devices.

Not true. Opus and Sonnet 4.6 support 1m context on Bedrock.

I was keeping mine alive on life support until about two years ago when I updated to the Samsung 5K display.

Loved the extra screen real estate of the 30" ACD and it's a beautifully designed product that I enjoyed having on my desk.

In its last year or two the backlight wear started to result in colors to become uneven. Blues were less vibrant and reds had tint issues.

Was also difficult to justify the power draw, it had a 150w power supply.

Hi Felix, this looks like an incredible tool. I've been helping non-tech people at my org make agent flows for things like data analysis—this is exactly what they need.

However, I don't see an option for AWS Bedrock API in the sign up form, is it planned to make this available to those using Bedrock API to access Claude models?
