Just woke up from a dream where I ordered a rum and coke at a bar and they asked what kind of ice I wanted, then showed me a menu with 60 different kinds of ice. Most were different shapes but some had flavours. I chose mint and my drink became mintier over time. Anyway good morning Related

I find myself disagreeing with Terence Tao (a very scary phrase to say!) and think the core question posed is whether the "misalignment" is between the mathematical community and humanity. In other words - are the Millenium Prize problems meant to incentivize advancements for humanity or foster the field of mathematics and mathematicians? As a counter example, if there was a prize for creating a drug that cured a rare strain of cancer, we would not care if it was AI that did it. We would be happy it has been solved. On the other hand, if long running agents figured out the puzzle in "Kryptos"… AI alignment Related

there is no better way to improve a business than dogfooding yourself which means treating myself as a client for the wellness coaching main problem i've been trying to help myself with mouth-breathing at night. things i've tried so far: - nasal rinse (tiny bit of salt + baking soda) - coconut oil in nostrils - humidifier and i think i've finally figured out what's going on... current theory is retainer is preventing me from forming a good "lip seal" (upper retainer pushing upper lip up, keeping mouth open) so next week's a/b experiment is to try sleeping without retainer and take notes Related

We send our love and support to the Jewish community in Manchester and beyond who last night gathered to remember Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, who were killed defending their synagogue last year. My thoughts are with their families and all those who have been affected by the attack. I know for many Jewish people, the sorrow and fear from that day has not lifted and I know we must do more to protect communities across the country. I want Jewish people to know that their safety is a priority of mine and I’m determined to stamp out antisemitism for good. Related

. @yurimilner was that world class investor. After one meeting he said he wanted to invest and asked me for a valuation. I threw out a number 10 pct below what i figured our next round would be. He said he would wire the money next week. I think it was $150m. Never asked for board seat or any terms. He ttly got what the founder of a high growth company cared about. No meetings. No terms. Dont bother us. Let us cook! Quoting @kevinleeme Whenever other founders ask me who my best investors are and who I’d recommend they work with, I name the handful of VCs who rarely bother us and trust us to operate. It’s funny how simply doing nothing as an investor can put you in the top 1% of a founder’s book. Related

This is one of the best-kept secrets in San Francisco, since most people think it’s just a place to drink, but it actually has a very extensive food menu full of creative and excellent cuisine that’s basically a mashup of French, Latin American, Korean, Japanese, and Italian.

I think the most interesting question is what can the models we have do right now? And so the only thing I care about today is what can Claude Opus 4.6 do that we haven't figured out yet. And I think it will take us 6 months to even start exploring the boundaries of that.

Their words
For the vast majority of human existence, we’ve been nomadic and we’ve done these wider or tighter nomadic circles, depending on the geographic region, but they’d move. So once humans figured out how to stay in a place, that’s the initial trigger to what would become civilization.

shame has been sharpened into a tool for cultural coercion and compliance. That what people have figured out is that shame is a is a soft spot on almost everybody. And if you press that spot, people will shrink. They will run away. It is particularly used against women, but it is used against large numbers of people to cause them to not take an action.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
