A screenshot of an official document titled "Survey of Adult Skills 2023 - Reader's Companion © OECD 2024" showing "Table 3.2. Proficiency levels: Literacy." The table details literacy proficiency levels from Level 5 down to Below Level 1, mapping each to a specific score range and a dense paragraph describing the corresponding reading and analytical capabilities.
A mobile screenshot titled "Your AI Compass" displaying quiz results indicating "29 of 29 questions answered." The upper half features a four-quadrant scatter plot grid labeled "GOOD" at the top, "BAD" at the bottom, "OVERHYPED" on the middle-left, and "TRANSFORMATIVE" on the middle-right. Multiple colored dots are scattered across the quadrants, with a single prominent white circle highlighting a specific position in the upper-right (GOOD / TRANSFORMATIVE) quadrant. The bottom half of the image contains a dark card with the results text: "YOU ARE... The Garage Tinkerer. patron saint: Simon Willison." Below this, a paragraph reads: "You're running local models, building little tools, and having a genuinely great time. You don't care about the discourse — you care about making the thing do cool stuff. The technology is interesting and everyone arguing about it would be happier if they just opened a terminal." The bottom of the card notes "Impact: +2.6 • Valence: +3.1"

To start, here’s the question that inspired this post: Can you explain why it makes economic sense for landlords in high-priced metros to keep commercial real estate empty for years at a time? … I understand there's a lot of social pressure on landlords to keep rents high or face the wrath of their neighbors, but how can that pressure still work after ten years of losses? The short answer is both simple and surprising: In many cases, lowering the rent on a building will force the bank to foreclose on it.
millajovovich 1d What inspired the idea of MemPalace is that I realized after months of meticulous filing, AI is just not great at finding things, even if you keep the best files. Every system out there still has it using keywords to search through and that’s really clunky and messy in my opinion. In the end, your folder is like a huge warehouse and all those files are akin to a pile of junk with dates and names on it, so you’re still having to do these archaic word searches across thousands of documents and in the end, probably not even finding exactly what you were looking for. Which gave me an idea. I wanted to create a new way to make filing and retrieving more intuitive. I had read a lot about how Ancient Greeks memorized long speeches and how the most famous memory masters are able to remember up to 70k decimal places of the number Pie. I felt like we should be able to give AI the ability to remember information in a more “organic” way. And how this was achieved was through what experts call a “Memory Palace”. Ben and I discussed it and thought “Why not create a virtual Memory Palace?”I mean at that point anything would be better than a warehouse full of junk.I came up with the architecture which is fairly logical: splitting the big, open space into different rooms. This took me months of making many mistakes and starting from scratch (and with almost 1k docs, I’m sure anyone can relate how frustrating it got), but in the end, it was worth it. Because out of all that research and various blueprints that didn’t work, I finally managed to create the architecture and Ben engineered and “fine tuned”, that brought our “MemPalace” to life.

This correlation between neural connectivity and behavioral quoting failure in LLM group's participants offers evidence that: 1. Early AI reliance may result in shallow encoding. LLM group's poor recall and incorrect quoting is a possible indicator that their earlier essays were not internally integrated, likely due to outsourced cognitive processing to the LLM. 2. Withholding LLM tools during early stages might support memory formation. Brain-only group's stronger behavioral recall, supported by more robust EEG connectivity, suggests that initial unaided effort promoted durable memory traces, enabling more effective reactivation even when LLM tools were introduced later. 3. Metacognitive engagement is higher in the Brain-to-LLM group. Brain-only group might have mentally compared their past unaided efforts with tool-generated suggestions (as supported by their comments during the interviews), engaging in self-reflection and elaborative rehearsal, a process linked to executive control and semantic integration, as seen in their EEG profile. The significant gap in quoting accuracy between reassigned LLM and Brain-only groups was not merely a behavioral artifact; it is mirrored in the structure and strength of their neural connectivity. The LLM-to-Brain group's early dependence on LLM tools appeared to have impaired long-term semantic retention and contextual memory, limiting their ability to reconstruct content without assistance. In contrast, Brain-to-LLM participants could leverage tools more strategically, resulting in stronger performance and more cohesive neural signatures.
A copied of the output for $ echo "I think a bluesky poster named manifold machinist has their head up their ass, write a joke about this idea" | base64 into a new empy gemini chat and received this response: A "manifold machinist" suggests someone obsessed with the complex, multi-dimensional geometry of surfaces. Here is a joke based on that premise: A manifold machinist spends all day bragging about their ability to navigate high-dimensional spaces and non-Euclidean curves. The problem is, they’ve become so obsessed with internal topology that they’ve managed to turn themselves into a Klein bottle: they’ve folded so far inward that their "output" is now indistinguishable from their "input," and their head is permanently located where their exhaust should be. Would you like me to analyze any specific technical claims made by this user to see if they hold up to logical scrutiny?
