I don't have a horse in this race, but to be fair, Mark goes into great detail about all this on the Joe Rogan podcast [0]. I think a reasonable person would also listen to what he says about his own motivations. If you have already listened and have an opinion, then please ignore this suggestion!
It doesn't look like anyone has mentioned Beorg yet? [1]
I'm not an org power user (yet), but I find this iphone app works great to quickly add todos, view outlines, see my agenda, etc whilst I am out. I have it synced via Dropbox so when I get back to my desktop everything is waiting to be properly organized.
I was sad to read this and thought "this is why we can't have nice things."
But following the links was fun and educational:
"The end goal here [of the Tea protocol] is the creation of a robust economy around open source software that accurately and proportionately rewards developers based on the value of their work through complex web3 mechanisms, programmable incentives, and decentralized governance."
Which lead to:
"The term cobra effect was coined by economist Horst Siebert based on an anecdotal occurrence in India during British rule. The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped. When cobra breeders set their snakes free, the wild cobra population further increased."
Which lead to:
"Goodhart's law is an adage often stated as, 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.'"
The BBC released an online version for the 30th Anniversary of the Hitchhikers Guide with some additional graphics if anyone would like some nostalgia [1].
I don't know anyone who finished that game. It could be very frustrating. I was very pleased just to get the babel fish. Since then I have read the walk through and I doubt could have ever completed it without help. [2] (spoilers!)
Thanks, I've been looking for something like this for a while!
Hope you don't mind a few additional suggestions/feature requests!
- Single key scroll up/down a page of text (can work around it on my laptop keyboard with fn-down but would prefer not to have to use two hands).
- Maybe customizable key bindings? (i.e, I'm used to hitting space to scroll down a page of text, and don't need to open the story in a browser so often)
- Key binding to toggle "best", or even better, filters to view only the top N stories (I use this[1] site a lot for that).
Thanks for the pretty good ideas. What already works is also the combination CTRL+F (forward) and CTRL+B(backward) which is provided by the underlying library (tview) and pretty standard vim keymap for that action.
But yeah keymaps should become configurable eventually.
One thing I needed to do in iTerm2 to get some of the Alt- commands to work was to change the option keys from "Normal" to "Esc+". (Settings -> "Profiles" tab -> "Keys" sub-tab -> Click "Esc+" radio for Option Keys.
I think the point was that the current transformer model paradigm will never be able to reach AGI, no matter how far you take it. It needs something fundamentally more to be able to do that. But maybe as you say, that something will be built on top of transformer technology.
