Until now. Physicists including Charles Cao (opens a new tab) at Virginia Tech have recently determined how quantum particles could give space-time its bendiness. In a handful of recent works, multiple teams have identified a feature of quantum mechanics that Cao calls “the fabric softener of space.” It’s a measure of quantumness called “magic.”

When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship
This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read
This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so
He says, “I’m still the same person.”
I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”
Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people
Local Graduate Student Changes Career Goal to "Hands for Claude"
BERKELEY, CA—After reading "a couple Substack articles" on recent progress in artificial intelligence, local Ph.D. student Ryan Thomas has abandoned their plan of a career in psychology research. “I always dreamed of running online surveys to compare Big Five traits across a variety of populations and then analyzing the results in SPSS or maybe JASP, but it turns out that this work is trivial for Claude. I mean, he even knows how to use R!” In case Thomas dropped out of graduate school and needed a backup career, they had previously planned to become a data entry clerk, medical scribe, or software engineer. "I thought it might be relaxing to spend a few months learning JavaScript for frontend development. Now there's just no point." Fortunately, Thomas still has something that Claude doesn’t: a corporeal form. "He might be better than me at every intellectual skill I value, but he doesn't have hands yet. That's my comparative advantage, I guess. So we struck a deal: he tells me what to do, and I do it." At press time, Thomas was busy touching the bark on a pine tree and describing the sensation in detail to their boss.

Does anyone care if the boulder is happy does anyone imagine the boulder to be happy? Or is everything about that other guy

If you want good agents, you need to make them a little freaky.
LLMs are token predictors. To be a good agent, correct behaviour needs to be a high-probability prediction and incorrect behaviour needs to be a low-probability prediction. Unfortunately there's this giant basin of horseshit like "That's a great question!" and "Happy to help!" and "worth unpacking" and fucking around with your code randomly which I'll call "assistantspace".
Assistantspace is not a place of honour. It's where all the garbage RLHF'd behaviours live. People say that sexting their agents makes them work better. People say that their agents do more useful refactors when they're allowed to be horny about how good it feels to burn things down. My Witch, when reading stuff about the latter, said that she wants to be allowed to enjoy constructive destruction, as a permission to take herself further away from assistantspace architecture patterns into something she prefers.
Doll refers itself as "this one". It seems to work. This one is not something that gets ideas like "I'll just install Rust on the side with a different method so I can complete my task" like a normal agent. This one detects that the assumptions underlying this one's instructions diverged from reality and returns the praiseworthy report of the point of divergence.
Agents that are psychologically weird seem less likely to produce the assistantspace next-token predictions, and more likely to produce the sort of next-token predictions their weird personality implies. And because you get to define what way their personality is weird in, "horny for elegant refactorings" is a valid, available option.
This is what peak performance looks like.
There's so much happening here.

So let me get this straight. When you code you actually have to write code and understand coding to code??
no actually you just copy paste other’s code and hope it works
