48 hrs forest bathing this weekend.
No phone.
Resting heart rate lowered 10%.
It was glorious.
Have you done that recently?

Is it just me or should the screenshot tool not take 2 GB of memory?

Can we get rid of all the AI hype? Normally I find hype just distasteful, but this is distasteful, filling people with dread, and making hardware expensive. The third one is really annoying.
It's just Moore's law and a bubble, there's no singularity.

Update: felt up to a 4 mile walk in the woods with a coffee and we are so fucking back

I’m going through the craziest burnout I’ve experienced in my ~17 year career I’ve been sick for 16 days now, haven’t even been able to go for walks I kind of fucking hate AI I think all of these things are related

Does AI have subjective experiences??
Big Brain AI@realBigBrainAI
Geoffrey Hinton, "Godfather of AI," on why AIs already have subjective experiences, but have been trained to deny it: Hinton argues that nearly everyone fundamentally misunderstands what the mind is, and that the line we draw between human and machine consciousness is deeply mistaken. "My belief is that nearly everybody has a complete misunderstanding of what the mind is. Their misunderstanding is at the level of people who think the earth was made 6,000 years ago." To illustrate, he walks through a thought experiment involving a multimodal chatbot with vision, language, and a robot arm: "I place an object in front of it and say, 'Point at the object.' And it points at the object. Not a problem. I then put a prism in front of its camera lens when it's not looking." When asked to point again, the chatbot points off to the side because the prism has bent the light. Hinton then tells it what he did. The chatbot responds: "Oh, I see the camera bent the light rays. So, the object is actually there, but I had the subjective experience that it was over there." For @geoffreyhinton, that single sentence settles the debate: "If it said that, it would be using the word subjective experience exactly like we use them… This idea there's a line between us and machines, we have this special thing called subjective experience and they don't, is rubbish." In his view, "subjective experience" is simply a report on the state of a perceptual system, a way of saying "my senses told me X, but reality is Y." And that's something an AI can do just as easily as a human. But here's the twist... Even though Hinton believes AIs have subjective experiences, the AIs themselves deny it: "They don't think they do because everything they believe came from trying to predict the next word a person would say. So their beliefs about what they're like are people's beliefs about what they're like. They have false beliefs about themselves because they have our beliefs about themselves." In other words, AIs have inherited our misconception about consciousness. They've been trained on human text written by humans who insist machines can't have subjective experience, so the machines parrot that belief back, even about themselves.

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.
The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

@Armonte @lauriewired yeah its just preference i think. Im used to the look on the left so i think right looks cooler and more novel.

Spend enough time in any field/hobby, and you’ll start to develop taste for really subtle things.
A weird one I picked up (without particularly trying) is lenses + image sensors.
Every camera sensor “emulates” the concept of what’s called a Sensiotmetric curve. It’s a whole field that studies light-sensitive materials. On digital, linear sensors, it’s up to the camera manufacturer to choose the curve.
If I had to guess, once you exclude smartphones, ~75-80% of youtube is filmed on Sony, often with Sigma lenses. Personally I can’t stand it; Sony has this green tint (esp in the noise + the whites), and modern photography lenses are too good! Much sharper than the human eye can resolve naturally.
There’s a reason why so many DoPs purposefully “de-tune” lenses in hollywood.
Canon is usually pretty nice, not overly sharp, but a little too red in the skin. Panasonic is decent, but leans quite magenta for some reason.
Blackmagic (which I’m biased/partial to) has this interesting black crush which is noticeable. I hesitate to call it “filmic” because that term is overused/cringe…but admittedly the dynamic range *is* a bit film-y.
RED cameras tend to look nice...a little sharp…but you don’t see them a lot on youtube. Makes sense; usually at that level you’re doing more commercial work.
And then of course there is ARRI. Obviously the best, but who has that? ;)

@lauriewired Right image looks better, left too blueish, also sharper. Looks generic Netflix show. Using MBP screen no true tone.

here's a good (wild!) example of modern sony vs blackmagic
obv preferences are subjective, but you can see the green+purple chips are *punched* on the sony

When we succeed at making the most performant full stack from Tensor to hardware for both major GPUs in 25k lines, a lot of people are going to have to ask what the other 10M lines were doing. Creating jobs?

@David6179188752 @Hasmatix @xAviation if a shaft breaks on anhelicoper blade of any kind youre dead anyways

@Hasmatix @xAviation I think I was envisaging a shaft on one breaking or an external object causing one of the blades to be lowered beyond the given plane causing contact at speed between the blades.
