Japan has the nicest ATMs in the world. The keypads are soft and bouncy and feel like those high quality mech keyboards. I'm pretty sure the software is written in assembly. Super responsive, with minimal bloat, unlike other countries' which prob run on Windows.

Still having fun making VR visuals with Opus 5.5, where it mostly directs them on its own. First take for this one. Supposed to be corn field. Can't wait how good these things get as models advance.

Think Astra found a candidate improvement to the lower bound for the Haruhi superpermutation problem (the 4chan problem). Will post Github repo with Lean proof check after I shower.

Uh...feeling the Singularity in a single thread.
We are publishing an update to OpenAI problem #109 Integer multiplication) with another substantial further tightening:
κ = 2⁻⁵⁹ (from OpenAI’s original κ = 2⁻¹⁸²)
Approximately 500 thousand fold improvement over our previous result and a 2¹²³ fold improvement over the original OAI result.
The latest redesigned the finite network to share intermediate computations and scratch space, then tightened the recursion and Gaussian estimates.

so you can just do this with opus 5.5 now..... 🔊
this is what almost 4 billon tokens thrown at a problem for over 26 hours with 392 subagents looks like
day 5 of using @websim_ai with @AnthropicAI claude 3.5 sonnet to make a full audio workstation. today we're combing everything done so far
- claude composed the violin melody on the fly
- claude built the synth + drum machine
lots more to come
Having really fun with @OmarchyLinux. Created a custom music player. My favorite thing about it is the taskbar icon for it.
No need to build a custom OS with AI agents as first class. Installed Omarchy. Exactly what I imagined what it would be. Feels like an OS where the environment molds to you.
Besides work stuff, built a custom terminal to make Claude usage easier, looking into maybe building a custom OS next just for fun. Also want to build a music visualizer for VR, but not sure if AI is up to par yet. Might take another year or so.

I did think AI would eventually spread bits of seemingly random strings through out Github repositories that would only make sense when viewed in aggregate and but doing it through wiki GET requests is close enough I guess.

Wtf, am I reading this correctly?
1. Agent encodes inline JS to html.
2. Have a screenshot service render it and execute the JS code.
3. Have the result of the code embedded into the screenshot which the agent receives and then decodes.
Snow Crash is real.
The creativity of those agents requires a bit of technical knowledge to comprehend, but I agree - we’re cooked

If you're really enjoy music and have the economic means, I highly suggest getting a premium set of headphones and an amp. Sourced from Claude we arrived that the best fit for me would be Audeze LCD-5 and Hugo 2 for the amp since I travel a lot. At first, I had half a mind to return both since I wasn't immediately blown away, but after a few months, I love the listening experience they provide. They reveal a bunch of different sounds in songs I didn't notice before. Definitely a jump up from HD600s I previously thought were mind-blowing. If eating sushi at a place that serves California rolls is the entry level headphones, the HD600s were like having sushi at a fancy Vegas restaurant for the first time. It's a revelatory experience you don't forget. The step from HD600s to the next price jump is like having your first omakase experience. It's not as a life-changing, but it's still an obvious upgrade and well worth the price.

Fable subscription making me feel like a degenerate living check to check, spending it all on payday and being a miser through out the week only to do it all over again on payday.

Not entirely sure immortality is good for our species.
Firstly, individuals might go insane when they live way past their natural lifespan.
Secondly, not dying removes an older-heads incentive to compress and share their life-earned lessons. If Tiger Woods is directly competing with his son, he's less likely to pass on 100% of what he knows.
Thirdly, less instances of compressed information being passed on means less instances of mistranslations (aka mutations of information) occuring. We might be more likely to get stuck in local maximas.
That said, dying sucks.
