I think there's a big gulf between people who use e.g. coding agents (where this would be actively detracting + annoying) and people whose exposure to LLMs is mostly google search AI overview (where the output *is* ~equivalent to the average of what people are saying)

Still not sure what my “goal” is with sdvx. Maybe I’d be happy with 10 dan. For the most part I’m just hitting the note that comes next, though.

Kind of interesting that most of the responses to this can be separated into “wow” or “eww”

I gotta say this repo of hundreds of math preprints might be the most eerie artifact I've seen produced so far in the LLM era, despite pretty intense competition. github.com/openai/math

People like you are out there. You just have to keep looking. You just have to not give up.

So much of my life makes sense in retrospect after I found out today that some people believe a fundamental part of "American Culture" is not trying at anything unless you feel you've been personally given God's Gift Of Talent. No wonder!

I guess it’s good incentive for me to shift my focus to writing more longform. But I do wish that posting on these platforms was less of a headache. I used to really like doing it.

Every time I venture back to Twitter it really amazes me just how nasty it is now. It doesn’t really matter what the topic is, pretty much every post is default hostile. Unsure if it’s recoverable. Mostly just left hoping it’s not a microcosm of the real world.

Cool score

I have been just playing a short premium time or two each day on the way home from work. For the authentic experience yknow. If I had the time to be grinding a game I’d still be playing melee probably. But the 20 minutes for this before I go home makes me feel like I’m reclaiming some agency.

The two big things playing this game coming from ITG are roughly the following 1. There’s so much shit on the screen 2. The lifebar is so so so generous

I actually might be able to hit cyan! VF 15.00 / passing 16s still feels insanely far away though. Hopefully I just continue improving so that the progression doesn’t feel so bad from there.

I remember back when LLMs were new it was really funny seeing people whose whole experience with ML was classifiers / obj det trying to make sense of this new thing. How can we trust it without uncertainty quantification!! Really funny to see the inverse now.

None of these are amazing scores by any stretch but I did get them!! I think I can probably manage 7 Dan without too much trouble if I play a little bit at a time

I thought it was bad enough when I had to explain what Zizians were to my wife but I’m slowly realizing I’m eventually going to have to explain what p(doom) is to my mom.

I think I will never forgive Karpathy for coining "vibe coding". I don't think you should be able to use that term unless you can manually reverse a linked list.

Why am I taking time out of my day to listen to people threaten to kill each other over which buttons perform which actions on a game controller. I don’t have time for this. I can’t believe I ever thought I had time for this, ever.
