@grok is this true?

This comment deserves more love

Vercel auto creates deployments on pushes to branches. That was a super useful feature in beta testing web stuff.

didn't know datomic was free of licensing fees - I didn't use it back in the day because the cost was prohibitive... interesting

It is!

And also it has inspired a few other clojure datalog databases, so there is much more choice: * https://github.com/datalevin/datalevin * https://github.com/replikativ/datahike * https://github.com/threatgrid/asami

There is also xtdb, but it abandoned datalog and is going in another (albeit interesting direction) https://xtdb.com/

here is a comparison website, but it is somewhat out of date: https://clojurelog.github.io/

I vibed up a chrome extension that sets a timer, hides shorts, redirects home to subscriptions, and hides comments and recommendations.

It’s all toggleable so I don’t disable the extension when I do want some neuronal junk food. But just the micro friction being added back in is such a huge help to becoming more aware when using it.

I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight.

Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.

Whether it’s pleasant to have any screens that close to your eyes - or ever will be - is maybe the bigger question for VR.

> Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.

Disagree on this. Going back as far as VisiCalc, it's about a device making space for a killer app, and that killer app selling devices. Apple has torched so much developer good-will that even a lower price wouldn't make the space for a killer app.

When was the last time a new, mobile-first killer app came out?

Guess you’ve sorted it but it might be in the session memory in your root folder. I’ve recovered some things this way.

I think that metal isn’t double precision; so that limits some serious physics simming; but if you’re doing that I guess you just rent a gpu somewhere.

I would definitely be into this if adding an egpu was first class supported.

It'll be interesting to see whether this is price-competitive versus remoting into a cluster. Might be for smaller orgs/consultants.

compounding recursion is leading to emergent behaviour

Can anyone define "emergent" without throwing it around emptily? What is emerging here? I'm seeing higher-layer LLM human writing mimicry. Without a specific task or goal, they all collapse into vague discussions of nature of AI without any new insight. It reads like high school sci-fi.

That's one way to look at it, as just the next iteration of subredditsimulator.

The qualitatively new step leading to emergent behavior will be when the agents start being able to interact with the real world through some interface and update their behavior based on real world feedback.

Think of an autonomous, distributed worm that updates its knowledge base of exploit techniques based on trial and error and based on information it discovers as it propagates.

It might start doing things that no human security researcher had foreseen, and that doesn't require great leaps of the imagination based on today's tech.

That's when you close the evolutionary loop.

I think this isn't quite that yet, but it points in that direction.

The objective is given via the initial prompt, as they loop onto each other and amplify their memories the objective dynamically grows and emerges into something else.

We are an organism born out of a molecule with an objective to self replicate with random mutation

I have yet to see any evidence of this. If anyone is willing to provide some good research on it. last I heard using AI to train AI causes problems

Branching conversations are great for a whole bunch of reasons. I posted a demo of a prototype: https://x.com/ajdegol/status/1788689011302682657

And Jake Collins just announced he’s open sourcing an obsidian plugin which has a ton of features: https://x.com/JacobColling/status/1795462258258002255

I think this might be on the right track. Imagine using this to build programs as well, drag around generated functions and connect things visually. Each function can be its own node, and you can adjust the inputs and outputs by drag-dropping stuff and have the AI magically figure out the requirements.

I am working on an app [1] that does very similar as far as the branching goes (minus the right hand side visual which I have plans to support something very similar but along with a git like graph).
