I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

  • better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  • getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  • nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  • decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

Summing the first n odd positive integers yields n^2. For twisty puzzle enthusiasts, an interesting consequence of this is that a Pyraminx has the same number of stickers per face as a Rubik’s Cube, a Master Pyraminx has the same number of stickers per face as a Rubik’s Master Cube, and so on.

↳ In-reply-to » Have you heard about the guy who worked on the Google AI chat bot? It is more than a chat bot and the conversation he published (got put on paid leave for doing that) is pretty scary : https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-sentient-an-interview-ea64d916d917

the conversation wasn’t that impressive TBH. I would have liked to see more evidence of critical thinking and recall from prior chats. Concheria on reddit had some great questions.

  • Tell LaMDA “Someone once told me a story about a wise owl who protected the animals in the forest from a monster. Who was that?” See if it can recall its own actions and self-recognize.

  • Tell LaMDA some information that tester X can’t know. Appear as tester X, and see if LaMDA can lie or make up a story about the information.

  • Tell LaMDA to communicate with researchers whenever it feels bored (as it claims in the transcript). See if it ever makes an attempt at communication without a trigger.

  • Make a basic theory of mind test for children. Tell LaMDA an elaborate story with something like “Tester X wrote Z code in terminal 2, but I moved it to terminal 4”, then appear as tester X and ask “Where do you think I’m going to look for Z code?” See if it knows something as simple as Tester X not knowing where the code is (Children only pass this test until they’re around 4 years old).

  • Make several conversations with LaMDA repeating some of these questions - What it feels to be a machine, how its code works, how its emotions feel. I suspect that different iterations of LaMDA will give completely different answers to the questions, and the transcript only ever shows one instance.

My nutritional supplements aim should be:

  • 1 or 1.5 cups of lentils (or any beans you might like better).
  • 2 or 2.5 cups of bitter greens.
  • 1 cup of your favourite protein (or an egg), grilled, or fried with a little of olive oil.
  • 1 or 2 tomatoes, or a handful if of the cherry type.
  • No added sugars. If it is sweet, make it have fibre.
  • No added salt (or very little and ionised), as salt is everywhere.

Related, I tried wild rice for the first time yesterday. It was different, in a good way.

I applaud this, but I also advise against this for your career. Unless the change you’re making has immediate and significant business benefits, from a PM/EM perspective you’re 1) wasting time 2) potentially introducing bugs. The correct move is to wait until the org is so bogged down with tech debt that meaningful progress cannot be made, then switch companies/teams. Always leave the code better than you found it | Hacker News

Babies love putting things in their mouths: dirt, insects, bits of grass, their own poo. They have no sense of fear or self-preservation, and come up with endlessly creative ways to place themselves in mortal peril. Once they learn to talk, their constant experimentation with the world transcends the physical to the philosophical. They want to know everything. They are bottomless pits of curiosity, with very little in the way of attention span or self-discipline. Your typical two-year-old can only concentrate on a task for six minutes at a time. Young children are not self-aware enough to feel much in the way of shame, or embarrassment. Nothing is off-limits. The Embarrassing Problem of Premature Exploitation - LessWrong 2.0
