Don't know where to start. But have to reach there.

Twitter is really nice, but it is like eating sugar and not exercising. I am going away for a while.

Build a life where your work, your interests, and your temperament stop fighting each other.

@valigo You can just prioritise less attention to that branch of the tree of users. But Lobsters is not HN for the mentally unwell.

I am now 100% convinced that lobsters is HN for not just toxic, but actually mentally unwell. And you can't even argue that it's just some rando, because lobsters is invite-only

@LukasHozda Where doI learn these so that I feel these languages have meaning?

Rust and Lisp

I'm working on my writing app, to enhance the select with the keyboard mechanic. I think I have something that really works, because it builds on a concept firmly embedded in people's brains: shift+cursor extends the selection by a character or line. With this new mechanic you can move through the scales, starting at word. Then you can add or remove words at a time. Next level up you add and remove sentences. Then paragraphs. This already fits my brain better. I find it utterly bonkers that word processors consider the character to be the only atomic unit that writers work with.

@AnemoneClownCat @Jonathan_Blow @EckertAnthony @lauriewired That is also what your wife thinks about you, only you lack the depth that she misses in Braid.

@Jonathan_Blow @EckertAnthony @lauriewired Braid is an exhausting pretentious mess. Fuck Off

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.

@cianlus @tsoding However maybe I need to meditate on what I formulate my coding as. For now my comprehension of my way to code is that I don't solve problems I create more problems. Pun not intended. I mean the approach is not very iterative as it is stacking. I wonder if that is understood.

@cianlus @tsoding Ya I think I misread both your and @tsoding 's tweets. Makes sense.

The demo is absolutely great! My only complaint is that it seems to be using up the same energy I use for programming. If I work on my projects I can't play the game, and if I play the game I can't program. But maybe that's how puzzle games usually go, I play them rather rarely

@cianlus @tsoding I don't know man, you both are far fetching the resemblance. In my coding its mostly revisiting definitions and correcting/creating interfaces. My coding has no ounce of rearranging and shuffling to get to something working. I think what you guys are talking is out of your heads

@tsoding yes! I noticed this yesterday while playing that the patterns/iterations I was using to solve the puzzles were remarkably similar to what I do when coding. Fantastic game

@parsisist @tsoding @ToonHive Gravity falls is based on Tsoding's childhood. He was the Boy with the hat.

@tsoding @ToonHive did gravity falls exist in the 1950s?

Happy 41st birthday to the talented Alex Hirsch.

@Jonathan_Blow The only thing that explains this Pivot to me is: What if.. they built something close to AGI and used it to build this MRI device? Is that a farfetched proposition?

That’s … an unexpected pivot. x.com/altryne/status…

@altryne @midjourney Did they cook something close to AGI and used it to build this? Neverthemore, what a Pivot.

MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds. "As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa" They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner" Insane details: - First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body - The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability - The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second. It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices? - Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined. Welcome to the future of healthcare! Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.

@SanderSkjegstad I literally was thinking the same.

The varying color palettes of The Mirror Isles are incredible

@FakePsyho Waiting :eyes:

I've decided to stream my blind playthrough of Order of the Sinking Star demo (new Jonathan Blow game) on Tuesday, June 16 What's the best time to start the livestream? it will happen on twitch btw: twitch.tv/fakepsyho

Whoa.

@valigo @zeeg I read your articles,

@zeeg kind of open source that is only open to me. Idk for some reason I'm super demotivated to post anything publicly lately :/

What open source are folks building today?

@kssreeram @ShriramKMurthi > never ever stop having hard-to-solve .. problems in mathematics I don't know if Godel shows this? I feel it is more of an interpretation than a result? As there is no concept of hard-to-solve in Godel's theorem. There is possible-to-solve and impossible-to-solve. What is hard?

@ShriramKMurthi As an aside, I wish people focused less on “self reference” in Gödel and looked at more interesting implications… For instance, Gödel shows we shall never ever stop having hard-to-solve open problems in mathematics.

I'd be surprised if Grant didn't know what he was talking about, but WTF. Gödel's incompleteness theorem is deeply connected to the halting problem and thence to Rice's theorem. We who don't have the luxury wrestle with this daily. This is begging for a Colonel Jessup refutation.

Idea for casting the next James Bond

@jeremyphoward This is an absurd take. In the time it takes for leaderboards to get updated, the second best research institute can go way beyond the point of recovery. Am I missing something?

Easy solution to slow down recursive AI self improvement: - The lab with the top-ranked model must agree THEY must not use it for working on frontier AI - But everyone else should have access to it. By definition, this means the frontier doesn't advance.
