This is true, Kuala Lumpur has never been my favorite place (too religious for my tastes)
But I cannot deny they somehow managed to get clean air unlike Thailand or Bali

But we try not to tell too many people

this post cuts to something i’ve been personally thinking & posting about a lot which is how the human mind’s forgetting machinery is underrated as a design primitive.
in our first product we’ve built our memory model around a specific decay factor influenced by multiple variables..
each memory degrades by default unless actively reinforced. this relies on a combination of recency, retrieval frequency, & contextual reactivation. this ain’t perfect any means.
but it’s annoying af that current llm memory implementations essentially treat every retrieved fact as equally alive. that’s likely not how cognition works.
idk if our approach is the final answer but i’m increasingly convinced the forgetting curve is as important as the learning curve. & the right memory model may be way more about what you let go than what you store.

One common issue with personalization in all LLMs is how distracting memory seems to be for the models. A single question from 2 months ago about some topic can keep coming up as some kind of a deep interest of mine with undue mentions in perpetuity. Some kind of trying too hard.

@teodorio They've gotta figure it out because once Americans abandon this platform it will go to zero. Trust is the most valuable currency that exists online in a world of deepfakes and nonstop slop. The whole promise of X was to cut through that not monetize it.
People are jumping ship.

absolutely no one who matters on this platform cares about money from posting. simply nuke the program and leave twitter as it used to be

Or—hear me out on this—you could eliminate every problem entirely by NOT PAYING PEOPLE TO SLOPFARM. Then, people would want to come and engage with organic quality content, and you could “sell” these things called “advertisements” for “money”

Until you build 'class consciousness' for high-earning W2s, they will continue to be the both proverbial and literal paypigs of the economy.
This is what Milei achieved in Argentina and what Renan Santos of MBL is realizing in Brazil.

This is the natural conclusion to the globohomo liberal New World Order, but who truly has the courage to make the leap? Ironically, a young city-state like Singapore is best poised to shake off the baggage of its founding myth, especially since its national identity is already well-eroded with the influx of immigration over the past 2 decades.

Thais will hate it but Thailand like Bali and the UAE can become one of first proper post-national states; what equal opportunity ‘no borders for decent human capital’ taken to its logical conclusion looks like ie legacy national culture and a large non-citizen ‘expat’ population

There's a specific term for the profound experience and it's called the Noetic Quality. Its not objectively well defined, and the problem is that it's not a simple chemical presence like dopamine. Instead, it is the state activation of galaxy-brain-mode by suppressing the default mode network. In a crude simplification, you overclock into "100% CPU usage" by activating vast neural networks that are previously silo'd and that's how people get these true but banal insights like everything is connected because in that brain state, it quite literally is so. This distinction is key because it maps to how profundity is a byproduct of interconnectedness, rather than an intrinsic quality (at the risk of becoming a general platitude, which is where wisdom comes in). Having said that, it is also imprudent to dismiss this, because this is also literally how we deploy lateral thinking right?

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

I live on a low floor in my building, so I listen to a lot of funeral music from unc/monk bands performing the rites. There's a particular phase in the chanting that I love, where the monks split into this four-part harmony, with overlapping rhythmic phrasing and it morphs into this sick ass Steve Reichian minimalism.

"I've been in many trenches in my life and can say this was by far one of the most intense warzones."
you're a SWE, this is why people make fun of you mfs
Rich@richzou
I just left @xai It was not an easy decision. The past three months were an absolute blast - I've been in many trenches in my life and can say this was by far one of the most intense warzones. I love fighting. Especially being in the trenches with my friends, working on problems that will actually advance humanity. But the current environment wasn't serving my growth. And that's a really hard thing to admit - I've always looked up to Elon, and I genuinely believe xAI will win. I still do. One thing I'll say: don't stay somewhere just because of the name. If you're unhappy, and you know you can't grow 100x where you are - it's the right call to leave. What's next? Get some sleep back. Then find the next trench worth fighting in. I'll always be meeting exceptional people - that was never because of a recruiting title. I just love finding smart people and helping however I can. Many more side quests to come!!!

One of the reasons why I enjoy voice dictation over typing is that thinking out loud allows me to modulate my ideas verbally through intensity, stress and accenting, and maybe this is making up for a lack of articulation but it's why I feel so inclined to liberally use all-caps.

Bro you have permanent underclass physiognomy
In a different lifetime you would be crouched on a field farming millet and rice but the Winds of Fate brought you instead to modern America to see if your bloodline could break its curse
Instead, you jump right into peasantry antics once more, angering the Heavens with your impunity

@waysofbeing1 ok the part that irks me the most is whenever i tell singaporeans im looking for a proper dry sauna they give the same programmed half-joke response:

After six months of getting Bryan Johnson-pilled in response to burnout, I am now more sensitive than ever to the effects of poor air quality. Especially with the slightly hazy conditions nowadays in SG and having just returned from KL, I notice being outside for even 10 to 15 mins triggers a noticeable inflammation in the sinues, it's insane.

@cookiecarver I know it sounds wild but do you think you could teach Tai Chi remotely or through a video lesson?
English
teaching tai chi in a gym is surreal cos out of a class of 20 maybe 2 ppl come back so every week i have to repeat the same first lesson over and over again. for the ppl that return i always show them something new. it's only fair. this way we both escape tai chi groundhog day...

It’s fascinating that AI psychosis seems to affect such an identifiable Type of Guy. It has something to do with the way LLMs start breaking down and spiraling into nonsense when conversations go on too long and the user keeps pressing, and there’s a certain type of user that’s just smart enough to trust their own intelligence (accepting the LLM’s flattery, confirmation, continuing to dig, etc) but not smart enough to see they’re not uncovering some big secret, they’ve just made the chatbot break.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:
