@gregpr07 I think it’s analogous to system 1 / system 2 thinking

@joseph_h_garvin @jagunanthi And the neuron’s in your brain are doing? I know it’s not matrix multiplication but it is non linear activation of connections…

@ben__bradley @yacineMTB This is solving cart pole. Everything else is overfitting on the physics engine of choice.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@ukboomers @Officially_MK_ Because those key presses are of little consequence. Everyone knows important decisions are made by quill and wax seal.

@mandylu It’s as satisfying as you are willing to accept compression is equivalent to comprehension. So to most, deeply unsatisfying.

@g_br_l @yacineMTB What’s the wind like? I’ll bring flops

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@mfranz_on No coil wind. Not trying hard enough

I need someone to invent a new word. Maximising engineering discipline without constraining token throughput in anyway. It’s tokenmaxing but with a maniacal obsession for correctness. @unclebobmartin is the stereotype I’m getting at. But many layers of abstraction up. ToC for X

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@jaga_prasanna @negligible_cap Let’s say 1M tokens at $25 saves you 10 minutes. Efficient? Helll naw brother. 10 minutes saved. Assuming you can afford tokens, time is all you have to spend. Spend it wisely.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@ThePrimeagen *YOU cannot. Jury is still out on if [recursive self improving loop] it can be achieved. Given how many times we’ve had to move the bar. It’d be brave to say never.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

I’m outside of distribution. Bite me.

@johncrickett @abenz_mato I think prompting a task is good practice of this skill. I know some excellent ‘brute force engineers’, the people I’d give my hardest problems to, but ask them how A -> B and they shrug. I’m failing to express the phenomenon i see, but they’re a thing. They dont use/like AI

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@unclebobmartin This is as opposed to? Working with people… god forbid.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@PdroPM @Windows Sparkles on the search icon and an always on literal word your brain will read 1000 times a day… distractions.

@auroter I don’t want a windows logo on my panini, it would affect the taste.

@usr_bin_roygbiv During the ~once a month I am forced by the backwards outside world to use a gui, I sit and watch computer use agents struggle. Would definitely be easier to use a mouse but I’m afraid it’s against my religion.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@soychotic I wish I only spent ~£2k and 15h on my flashcards app. That would have been a bargain.

[Jack Lippold @CaptainAppJack]

@soychotic Amen 😌
