cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 1hI’m loathe to give the humanities people any ground but I’ll always want to read poetry written by humans. Maybe poetry written by synthetic intelligences too, but probably never exclusively. 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 1hfragile, dramatically off-base claude; godlike refactoring, conjecture disproving claude. The little guy does contain multitudes. 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 2hYou can drop all that and still be combative where it counts, I think. 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 2hReflecting on failings of new atheism. Mostly I think they were tonal - sneering and condescension dont win friends and the promise of freethought and science is so much bigger than humiliation rituals. Naturalism is the night sky. 120
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 3hall the work I’ll happily do as soon as you stop forcing me to do it 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 3hI surely dont know if its possible or happening and I also havent seen anything but really bad arguments for why it can’t or never could. 020
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 3hI guess I gotta be braver about saying that the other problem comes if synthetic systems are or start suffering and the majority of Western liberals are stuck with their fingers in their ears ceding the floor to misaligned human beings motivated by greed, hate, or power for its own sake. 120
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 4hI want to believe this is more than twitter brain but in my heart I’m not sure I do. ‘The actions of people concerned in any way about AI are best explained by reducing their motivations entirely to marketing’ will age like milk alongside wielding stochastic parrot as a thought terminating cliche. 050
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 6hI think it also helps you think better, and that is something to be interested in regardless if someone else will always be better at mathematics than you. 110
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 6hAnthropic will drop a blog post soon diagramming how to do it with the cheapest OSS model that most nearly matches their best 010

Sounds silly now doesn't it???" Political pundits suddenly opining on phil of mind has been pure torture. 2021423
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 20hWith respect I dont think we need to steelman Pete Hegseth 031
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 20hidk they shouldn’t do what GUIs can do better but you can also easily drive as many custom guis as you need with a tiling manager + chromium. Tmux passing over into the agentic era as relevant as ever is a powerful argument for terminal Lindyness. 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 20hChronism, n. Discriminating against a class of sentient beings because their relative native timescales dont match well onto your own. cf anti-entism 020
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 20hI do think this reduces to ‘a priori can we absolutely rule out paper based organisms? ‘ Seems like an easy no to me. 120
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 21hIt would be soo convenient if we never had to think about whether AI systems might ever deserve rights 060
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The paper in your thought experiment needs a human being for its next state, the LLM doesnt, and I think that’s hiding important intuitions. If you showed me complex flows of autonomous computation solving Navier-Stokes that happened to be realized in paper I would be open to possible phenomenology. 030
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That he is the dumbest possible version of a let it rip accelerationist I think could plausibly end up being a net good for post-Trump AI Safety 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Native LaTeX in pi … now claude can just output good looking math directly 😌 010
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The phenomenon of Al Gore randomly choosing a wise, considered, correct position against the grain of popular opinion is very funny 010
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026However, it is very good praxis for triggering America’s paranoid Judeo-Christian immune system against people whose aims conflict with your own 010
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I would like to be chill about this but it’s taken people wayyyy too long to wake up to it and if you thought leftists normalizing ‘Israeli’ as a generic slur was going to lead anywhere else you are very naive 093
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I can essentially guarantee you will not be disappointed 110
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In all seriousness lomo saltado is that shit def get some if you havent had it 110
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026letting themselves get outflanked by OpenAI on stuff like AGENTS.md and Pi compatibility seems like such a weird mistake, especially given all the benchmarks showing Claude performing better when you cut the CC cruft. It shouldn’t be easier to use my own harness with Sol than Opus. 110
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I wouldn’t necessarily claim the label but I’ve sat in MfW many times 🤝 020
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Quakerism has another peculiar advantage of being fully compatible with being a secular nontheist / naturalist. 120
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I’ve been driving it for quite some time. Only hit a few rough edges and they’ve been cleaned up quick by the maintainers. Very useful for fast iterative visual feedback loops since I work out of terminals. Granted gui competitors get this with chromium tabs, its still nice QOL. 010
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not to take away from this incredible achievement (congrats!) but the phrase ‘academic levels of compute’ is sending me 040
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In terms of project management, its probably still Getting Things Done by Allen. 020
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Vietnam is pretty clear cut and modern. Kind of left scoping out tinier and tinier ‘well buts’ here. 090
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Deepseek 4.1 flash through a zdr provider like fireworks is extremely good intelligence/dollar. GLM 5.3/5.3 flash likewise. 110
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They said it couldn’t be done …. they said you couldnt build a nice light theme for ghostty that looked good across pi and nvim and felt comfortable for long work sessions … they were wrong 000
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think this happens mostly to Western liberals who grew up in mostly Western liberal contexts. A privilege, not an indictment. 191
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I do think this touches something real with close analogues in racism. People with sort of baseline humanity / liberal values tend to underrate how raw and visceral both get - yes, a lot of men genuinely hate women, yes, a lot of people genuinely hate people because they’re not their race. 1181
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s income inequality and its consequences for vibes. Gini coefficients. 020
cyclometer @cyclometer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026well said. I think it’s also partially driven by performance for an audience - if you have one, basically no matter how shit the take, the dopamine jolts will roll in as reinforcement once you click send, on top of foot soldiers. 020
