Yeah their nerve cells are much larger. The axons of a giant squid are up to a millimeter in width.

Turning a military building into a girl's school, and then having this school right next to other military buildings - is this something that happens often? Or were there ulterior motives behind it?

Yes, the US has 160 schools on military bases:

Yeah man. Who's ever heard of a military base with a school on, or near it besides every military officer with a family ever?

It can't be worse than gemini-cli using a Pro account.

Oh really? Do they have availability problems too?

Gemini CLI has been broken for the past 2-3 days, with no response from Google. Really embarrassing for a multi-trillion dollar company. At this point Codex is the only reliable CLI app, out of the big three.

Last time I tried it a single prompt ran for over an hour, mostly doing nothing/waiting on availability.

It appears like the 'self-improving' here just means modifying the agent's prompt/context? And not actually changing any of the weights/architecture of a model. I feel like this kind of self-improvement has some hard limits on how much it can improve.

Definitely isn't perfect and has limitations, but if the goal of predictable outcomes in a dynamic environment at scale it's more feasible than creating fine tuned models for every little thing and allows for context-based model performance benchmarking.

For me it is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece"

Same for me and this is why I had not clicked on it before.

I think some players like xAi and Google can burn money for a long time. Google made $240B profit last year

What a silly filter, blocking all xn domains

That whole feature is kind of paragraph 22. No legit/popular site uses it so users don't expect national characters in domain names, so no one actually hosts sites using "xn-" domains.

It may be true in the US, but don't lots of domains in Asia use xn-?

Kind of an interesting history to this kind of url: https://www.nic.ad.jp/ja/dom/idn.html

Shrug. First time I'd seen this. If it displayed as the original text it would have been clearer.

It would make it hard to spot impostor domains like "news.усомbiнаtor[.]сом" if it was. There's enough inertia for FQDNs to be strictly ASCII and any UTF-8(outside ASCII) in domain names to be felt unnatural for an URL, so most systems default to the raw "Punycode" xn-- scheme for all IDNs.

Safari at least shows the proper マリウス.com - I believe it has more complicated heuristics that boil down to "if it looks like a real script, show it, if it looks like some mangled English, show the xn-"

In this case yes but it's meant as a punycode scam prevention where common Latin alphabet letters are swapped for similar looking alternatives.

Verified derp moment - had me smiling


I went to read the advisory post and chose double clicking it from Finder instead of vim for whatever reason. I was actually on a call with my manager as it happened, I had time to watch my computer start to freeze up again and say my goodbyes before the inevitable hard reset!

I can recommend powerlevel10k with instant prompt enabled.

Instead of esc, type ctrl [

Does it help a lot? You've still got a three to type which is a crime, plus some letters, only to move 3 words. My typing skills are not great, but that sounds like an awful lot of work(?)

If I hit CTRL + ARROW_LEFT 3 times, I am done a lot faster I guess. But I am open to learn, do people really use that and achieve the goal significantly faster?


I don’t love vi-mode, but I’ll address your comment.

Many people these days, including yours truly, have caps-lock mapped to ctrl if held or esc if tapped. That’s good ergonomics and worth considering for any tech-savvy person.

Instead of the 3b I would type bbb (because I agree with you that typing numerals is a pain).

So (caps lock)bbbcw isn’t bad. It’s better than it looks, because if you’re a vim user then it’s just so automatic. “cw” feels like one atomic thing, not two keypresses.

And importantly, it doesn’t involve any chords.


I think it’s a difference in how people think. I can’t remember hotkeys. It just doesn’t compute. But with vim style bindings it’s much closer to writing a sentence. `3`, number of times, `b`, beginning of word, `c`, change, `w`, word. Yea it’s a lot. I cannot explain why it’s simpler for me to learn that than emacs style bindings but it is.

Obligatory:

Your Problem with vim is you don't grok vi
