New blog post: **Our muscles will atrophy as we climb the Kardashev Scale** Similar to the growth in humanity’s energy consumption, the average human’s physical strength will move down a spectrum, marked by distinct Biomechanical Stages ⬇️

Hi @cursor_ai, if your models could stop removing my painstakingly written comments, that would be great? Ok? Thanks (I know I could define some rules for this or something, but this shouldn't be default behavior)

The Kilowatt Human

tl;dr: I calculate my power output in Watts/Horsepower and aim to maximize that, instead of muscle volume, in my workouts:

This is a work in progress, email feedback to [email protected].

If you like this, you might also like my Instagram channel Nerd on Bars @nerdonbars where I calculate the power output of various athletes and myself.

yesterday i asked o1-preview “who are you?” and it used 900 reasoning tokens to reply whatever openai is doing to these models, it’s giving them an existential crisis lol

Python may overtake JavaScript in an AI-first workflow

Python might take over JavaScript as the most used language after all uv from @astral_sh is one of the biggest upticks in Python developer experience in the last 10 years I've seen so many people struggle with Python distributions, virtual environments, Anaconda, etc. over the years Most newbies don't care about where their Python executables are, why they have to edit PATH, or why they have to activate a virtu...

3-4 messages back and forth with o1-preview, and I have a CLI tool to remove debug statements from my code. No need to do a search for import ipdb... and manually delete the lines. Instead just run in your project: $ rmdbg . Written in Rust so it's fast https://t.co/yWuF3mDzUC

Open Thought > Closed Thought

OpenAI released a new model that “thinks” to itself before it answers. They intentionally designed the interface to hide this inner monologue. There was absolutely no technical reason to do so. Only business reasons

A failure scenario for AI infrastructure under scale

Imagine the following scenario: 1. We develop brain-scan technology today which can take a perfect snapshot of anyone’s brain, down to the atomic level. You undergo this procedure after you die and your brain scan is kept in some fault-tolerant storage, along the lines of GitHub Arctic Code Vault. 2. But sufficiently cheap real-time brain emulation technology takes considerably longer to develop—say 1000 years i...

I have published a short study on how the complexity of a country's language could burden its economy https://t.co/OXBk2iBq2b

It looks like a plateau until you remember they made GPT-4o available to free users, and it might be smaller than GPT-4. So this announcement doesn't prove anything about the capabilities of their largest model
