@AFpost For these types, the definition of consciousness is "reinforce my ego's load-bearing pillars with high verbal IQ"
English

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.
After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!”
Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

@popovicu94 Looking forward to trying it out! Very cool project

Today is the day.
The Linux Field Guide series "From Zero to Root" is officially live, and entry #1 is out. This is the project the recent posts have been pointing at.
For the upper-beginner Linux readers who've installed a distro, lived in a terminal, and started wondering what's actually under the hood: this series is for you.
lfg.popovicu.com/series/from-ze…
The pitch: yes, you could build your own Linux with Buildroot or Yocto and get full control top-to-bottom. The catch is the multi-hour build and the build system you have to learn first. There's a much shorter path that gets you most of the control with almost none of the cost. A small shell script, the apk.static binary, and a JSON config. This runs in seconds, rather than hours. One file you can read in a sitting, not a build system.
Working code, 7-minute read. Repo with the script linked in the article.
This is article 1 of many. Follow @popovicu94 for the rest as it ships, and bookmark LFG if you want the catalog.

@zagrebbi It surprises me every day on walks that more people don't flip out about these everywhere. I suppose they don't even know what they're looking at. A cool quirk of the city

@tszzl At a high enough level of competence, we see "useful coworker" being sacrificed willingly. But these "distant rockstars" require heavy harness from smart personable managers, TPMs, etc and must be allowed to follow their bliss.

@sporadica He's discounting large downturns risk far less than you. Only time will truly tell.
But certainly it's looking like a bad call for him more every month.

can someone explain to me how this is somehow a smart move by Buffett, because frankly it seems like a pretty big failure on the part of Berkshire to be sitting on cash and T-bills while inflation skyrockets and the market keeps on absolutely pumping

@Loughy It also has mostly positive health side effects, a good game to play.
Your risk is that you become unable to do the push-ups before you break even with the Fut Val of $1M. It's a gradient downside risk, but with fast pushup ramp and mitigation (don't mt bike) it's a great bet.

If you aren’t bed bound or elderly this isn’t even a debate
Your occupation simply becomes daily pushups and 200/day is $730K/year
Even if you can’t do 200 out of the gate you’ll have incentive to get up to speed pretty damn fast
Hazel Appleyard@HazelAppleyard
$10 per push-up or $1 million?

@straceX It’s called eBPF. Different beast than the original Berkeley packet filter.
