This is going to sound crazy, but The Simpsons was really good for almost 10 years

Something about it reminds me of some 80s TV. We still use the awkward catch phrase from an earlier season around the house: "In an investigation, details matter"

"New movie breaks box office record" headlines are annoying. They should go by tickets, not dollars. Currently they're mostly just tracking inflation

Or maybe it's just not a good article. It's funny, I've come to just assume Wikipedia articles on any well-established area will be really solid

Neat trick for merging hash tables: 1. Run a HyperLogLog over each (fast) 2. Merge these to get the total unique count (very fast) 3. Use this for sizing the result 4. Merge tables in Memory friendly, and just one allocation!

If I have a fresh session critique a plan, it very often finds problems I missed. A couple of iterations of this can make the plan a lot more robust. Probably a way to automate this, though I haven't done that yet

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

ok I was confused, guess I already had this
Same brain, different conversation histories per project. The memory blocks (which live in the agent) are shared across all projects. The conversation transcripts are per-project.

So you already have what Cameron described - one shared Subconscious agent across your related repos. The .letta directories in each project are just bookkeeping for "which conversations happened in this repo."

Tried this or over the weekend. Really cool stuff, great work! One question, a sometimes-nice setup is having a folder containing repos related to some project. Can sub be shared across these?

To me it's just the opposite. It used to be a significant challenge to determine whether an idea might have some novelty, and then to find relevant conferences and related work. LLMs make this trivial. Much more "standing on the shoulders of giants" than genius myth.

Similar vibes to the original, so it feels retro despite being new. Vaguely nostalgic if you liked the original, but after a couple of episodes it was too formulaic to really keep my interest

Very cool. I have so many questions... I think I saw this took 503 days. So you could pick the same time window each day, but you'd still end up getting samples at different times of the year. So the angle to the sun would be different, right? And you'd be going through different layers of rock?

My company is based in #Seattle, and we mostly use #Julialang. We're thinking of hosting a Julia meetup, maybe mid-Dec. Maybe a couple of talks, pizza, etc. Any thoughts? Would you attend?
