this link feels very spammy

possibly related, it errors if my working directory is a checkout of OpenCode. i was using CC to work on some patches for OC and had to work in a parent directory and then tell Claude to work on the files inside the "opencode" folder.


open weights i would say S2: https://github.com/rodrigomatta/s2.cpp

looks like this offers ASR support in GGUF https://github.com/CrispStrobe/CrispASR -- haven't tested

Strix Halo is another option


Ah, that's neat as well.

I took a slightly different approach in that I don't want to use YAML as the authoritative source. Many projects abuse it, and end up creating a DSL on top of it with all sorts of hacks to achieve the flexibility of a programming language. Pulumi and Pyinfra already provide user-friendly primitives and idempotent(ish) APIs that work much better than YAML. I simply want to expose some (opinionated) building blocks to make them easy to use, and allow users to customize them and add their own as needed. E.g. I definitely don't want to write any shell scripts inside YAML. :)

BTW, Pulumi already supports YAML[1], which can be used with any provider. But to me it's too verbose and generic, and of course, it lacks the provisioning primitives.

another player in this space built on incus: https://github.com/lnussbaum/incant

there are some scientist and theorists that argue entropy production is the ultimate sign of life (Jeremy England) and consciousness (Robin Carhart-Harris, Tom Froese)

I guess my hot tub is sentient then



thank you for sharing. i typically like his writing but didn't find this one terribly insightful.

however, from his follow-up post https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/highlights-from-the-comment...:

> When people insist on the confusing and inappropriately-strong version, I start to suspect that the confusingness is a feature, letting them smuggle in connotations that people would otherwise correctly challenge.

i find this comical because it reads like a slightly-differently-worded POSIWID argument :)


Why does the page have a non-removable blue filter? Feels like a popup shadow that doesn't go away...


>The purpose of the Ukrainian military is to get stuck in a years-long stalemate with Russia.

>These are obviously false.

The purpose of the Ukrainian military is to exhaust the Russian army's materiel and test out our weapons. "Years-long stalemate with Russia? Yes, please." -the US. Seems like an overwhelmingly common Scott Alexander L.


Scott Alexander often seems surprisingly unaware of his priors, especially when speaking about things beyond the American shores.


> The purpose of the Ukrainian military is to exhaust the Russian army's materiel and test out our weapons.

Since when does country A decide what the purpose of country B's military is?


In practice, always. It's similar to the claim that during the cold war, US basically controlled USSR economy, and vice versa, and that US won because USSR economy just couldn't keep up.

On smaller scale, this is the (in)famous "fire and motion"[0], which works in business as much as it does in military tactics. Make a move, forcing competitors to respond to it. If you're better at it than them (and lucky), you can choose your moves to make their responses go to your advantage.

Since country A pays for country B's military.


So the EU is deciding?


It's not even applicable here.


I wish my tax dollars weren't being used to murder Russians on the other side of the globe, but sadly they are.


Is the purpose of replying to Wikipedia with random substack drivel to get downvoted? Or is it a byproduct of the system?


Well, that's not what the system does. So it can't be its purpose, I guess.

In any case, the blog is well regarded in these circles.


I was shocked at how shallow that take is. I expected more.
