I wrote a bunch of cog scripts (hence my username) it was one of the first programming languages I learned :)

It's been a while since I wrote it, but it looked pretty close to a simple C programming language.

It was effectively bound events with predefined global methods you could call

So you might see something like

damage:
setHealth(player, 100);
while (getHealth(player) > 100) {
setTint(getHealth(player) * 90, 0, 0);
}
return;

Something like that (I may be forgetting some of the syntax, been a few years).

The file structure was important. You'd have a `force_push.cog` which the game engine knew to link up all force push events into.

A lot of these were ran locally, which as you can imagine, was a big issue when it came to cheating. There was a rudimentary checksum system in JK that would run against the cog files to verify two players hooking up together had the same version. That was easily hacked as the check ran client side.

You could have events that you called and I believe labels you could jump to. That's how people created more advanced interactions. Up to and including new AI systems written purely in cog syntax.
Musk is a Presidential adviser without a bounded specific portfolio, he has say in anything that (1) the executive branch has a say in, and (b) Trump chooses to listen to him on; as NASA is one of the participating agencies in ISS, the US executive branch has some role in it, and Musk could potentially exert influence over that.
So what? Do you complain when apt, yum, dnf, pacman, ports, or any other package management system does a download? I bet you don't, so it's not really a usable argument. Secondly, yeah, not tainting my systems OS and system paths is a good thing and opt/ from the filesystem perspective is the absolute right place to put add on packages.

"The /opt/ directory is normally reserved for software and add-on packages that are not part of the default installation"
Deorbit of the ISS was scheduled for 2030 with experiments and research continuing until deorbit. Mant research programs are depending on this continuation of service to complete recent proposals.

If you didn't think musk had a conflict of interest, this is exactly what it is. Surely you can see this for what it is.

>In Bubble Sort you only ever compare adjacent items. Here you don't.

This is the first thing I noticed and it pretty much says it all. It is not bubble sort because there are no bubbles bubbling to the top. Instead it compares every possible element pair combination.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Model Context Protocol!

For anyone interested - you can extend Claude's functionality by allowing it to run commands via a local "MCP server" (e.g. make code commits, create files, retrieve third party library code etc).

Then when you're running Claude it asks for permission to run a specific tool inside your usual Claude UI.

> More than half of the explanation for the administrative bloat since 1976 was blamed on factors that did not change much since the 1960s - with the notable exception of foreign sanctions, which were much worse due to the cold war.

I would apply an L1-regularized regression where the variables are simple 0-1 for the presence of the gene. The L1-regularization helps you deal with the high-dimensionality of the problem.

If you want to make an argument against billionaires, you should start by being numerate.

In the netherlands we use the french term ‘a la carte’ to mean that the restaurant allows you to pick a pre-defined set of dishes. As opposed to having a daily changing menu with maybe a choice between meat/fish/vegetarian which is called “table d’hote” but the latter has gotten a connotation of being less fancy. So if a fancy restaurant does table d’hote they generally call it ‘our concept’ and explain it to every guest as if it’s a unique thing.

I’m guessing the french use the same words. And maybe some english speaking countries as well? Given how pervasive french is around restaurants.

How do you label blocks/sections?

I've wanted to work with code thus, but it becomes a problem in that things are only really readable/relatable in single-screen chunks, and when one tries to show more than is accurately related on a single screen it becomes an unreadable, confusing, blurry mess.

Screengrab?
That's not exactly right. The answer was not explicitly given, according to the source:

"However, the team did publish a paper in 2023 – which was fed to the system – about how this family of mobile genetic elements “steals bacteriophage tails to spread in nature”. At the time, the researchers thought the elements were limited to acquiring tails from phages infecting the same cell. Only later did they discover the elements can pick up tails floating around outside cells, too.

So one explanation for how the AI co-scientist came up with the right answer is that it missed the apparent limitation that stopped the humans getting it.

What is clear is that it was fed everything it needed to find the answer, rather than coming up with an entirely new idea. “Everything was already published, but in different bits,” says Penadés. “The system was able to put everything together.”"

On any bubble sort, optimised or not, no swaps are made on an array that's already sorted.

The routine in the article does.

So no, it's not a bubble sort, unoptimised or otherwise.

If you think it is a bubble sort then I'd be interested in seeing your implementation of a bubble sort, and an explanation as to why they are effectively the same.

And the other thing, Uber became super popular because it was subsidized by VC money and fares were cheap.

Now that it's established... it isn't generally cheaper than taxis, it just has a slightly better app, though in many places that's not true anymore.

Oh, and to add insult to injury, you know how the taxi groups lobbied against public transportation, for example to airports? AWESOME, now there aren't just a bunch of local SMBs doing that, now there is an international mega corp doing that too.
I don't think the expected final timeline is really the point. I think the point is cash flow, and to defund and disrupt competition. The benefit to musk is cash 3 years early and locking out competition -- win win.

Regardless, if the deorbit is scheduled 3 years earlier than expected then the US needs to pay pay pay to catch up to the schedule, right? Musk gets the money to start "Phase I" now instead of a year or two from now. It really seems like musk is conning the US and corruptly using his position for cash flow benefits.
Ethics is like wearing a condom. If someone tries to tell you that you don't need to worry about it (after defaulting to force!), then you *really* need to worry about it.

A few months ago, I was pondering about connections between primes, foundation of math, and quantum mechanics. It resonates with some of your ideas.

It was more of a toy model than anything real, but I was pondering what a level IV multiverse in max Tegmark's classification of The Mathematical Universe would look like.

What is a mathematical structure that can encode all other possible symbolic structures and allow unbounded possibilities? It would have to be something that can go beyond Göedel's limitations of math, since it need to be able to encode also theist propositions that allow reaching transcendence. Obviously, this is only a move only possible via a step of faith.

I'll summarize my construction in a few comments below. I am not sure how useful it is, as it was just a play and not anything serious.
Thank you for the update!

I recently attempted to use the Google Drive integration but didn't follow through with connecting because Claude wanted access to my entire Google Drive.

Also, I just caught the new Github integration. Awesome.

Ah, my father in law was a farmer, grew wheat, corn, soy beans, but sometimes raised chickens. Along with the corn, when he fed the chickens anchovies from Chile he noticed rapid growth, called the little fish a growth factor.

Wellllll, long before his growth factor, we assumed we knew what a good balanced diet for chickens was. Then, presto, bingo, the issue was what barrels of fish, soy beans, ..., to feed the chickens to provide the diet for minimum cost. Right: Linear programming, the "diet problem", applied math in farming!
This just pushes the question one step further. Why did the chefs who used to be employed by aristocrats, when they started opening public eating places.

> I think you don’t have widespread adoption until AI takes the form of a plug-and-play “remote employee”.

Exactly. The problem with the AGI-changes-everything argument is that it indirectly requires "plug-and-play" quality AGI to happen before / at the same time as specialized AGI. (Otherwise, specialized AGI will be adopted first)

I can't think of a single instance in which a polished, fully-integrated-with-everything version of a new technology has existed before a capable but specialized one.

E.g. computers, cell phones, etc.

And if anyone points at the "G" and says "That means we aren't talking about specialized in any way," then you start seeing the technological unlikeliness of the dominoes falling as they'd need to for AGI fast ramp.

I mean, to be fair, "knowing all of the relevant literature" is a great first step for solving a problem! And a LLM can probably be better about not forgetting than humans are (though I'm guessing they do much worse on the hallucination front than humans do- humans tend to know when they are playing a hunch). But "This paper from a lower-tier journal two years ago suggests you should look at X" is a very valuable thing to have!
