New week new demo! Today I want to showcase the CLI to control the @superlogical multiplexer.

You can create sessions, run commands, make splits, move things around, change focus, simulate any input device (key/mouse/etc.), wait on scripts, and more.

There are two things you need to do to be successful. You have to come up with the best decisions, and you have to have the courage to make them. The real problem for most people is that they think the best decisions are only in their heads. The most important thing I learned was to take those ideas, put them out there, and stress test them. Whatever success I’ve had in life has had more to do with my knowing how to deal with my not knowing than anything I know. That taught me how to take in what others have, and that has been a key thing. #RayDalio #Principles #DecisionMaking #SuccessMindset Related

C’est chose faite. Après un travail technique rigoureux, le Gouvernement notifie aujourd’hui de nouvelles écritures à la Commission, un mois après la décision du Conseil. Cette protection doit aussi devenir la norme pour tous les enfant… English, from French From day one, I made a commitment: to protect our children online. We will see it through. Following the decision made by the Constitutional Council in mid-August on banning social media for under-15s, I had tasked the Prime Minister with finding a way forward that complied with the Council's observations and European law. This has been done. After rigorous technical work, the Government is today notifying the Commission of new submissions, one month after the Council's decision. This protection must also become the norm for all children…

The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver on this, and there is no reason any of us should come to work if we cannot. We welcome a federal framework that sets consistent safety requirements for frontier AI. But we do not believe we need to wait for an anti-trust exemption or legislation to begin the work of providing this confidence.

It was painful to see so many users being priced out of AI coding for a while. But now it’s free to build again! Quoting @Kyrannio Replit introducing free mode is the best thing they have ever done, but even if you are not using free mode, you are really getting a screaming great deal to develop with at present. Development costs everywhere are going to go up as the newer models come out, but I genuinely can't recommend Replit… Related

I think that AI is helping us in ways that will only become clear in several years, as it is helping clarify knowledge, science and philosophy. In other words, I believe that it may usher in a new intellectual golden age, but not necessarily directly (by what “it” finds). Rather, it may force a reshaping of the current social hierarchies. Many people who have reigned over academia for decades are finding themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, other models are slowly being valorized. If I am correct, we are in for quite a fight. It will get vicious. What I find interesting with OpenAI breakin… OpenAI Related

Dynamic pricing means prices go down as well as up. So this is conclusive evidence that either (a) she's stupid, (b) she's dishonest, or (c) both.

In the near term (definitely not in the long term), more capable models should mean safer models (maybe paradoxically). Current models are unsafe not because they're too smart, but because they take goals too literally or take nonsensical shortcuts to achieve these goals, i.e. they're RL-fried. They lack common sense. They don't do the right thing in the face of ambiguity. Basically, they're not smart enough. They're at that dangerous level where they're smart enough to achieve goals but not smart enough to tell if they're pursuing the right goals or achieving them in a sensible way. More cap… Related
