If we assume a cost of ~$2640 per cubic cm of diamond and ignore initial equipment investment then this gives us million-year retention at $1.45/GB at room temperature with no power or maintenance required.

Not bad at all.

I'm trying to create a dataset of people arguing about the creation of datasets. Is bluesky the right place to do that?

Many such cases

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled! Some suspicious things going on in the posting mines.

This is a bluesky robbery. Everyone remain calm. I'm going to go into the vault and retrieve the engagement of the users with dedicated feeds set to certain key words. If all of you cooperate, no one will get hurt. We're first starting with the OCaml vault. These FP folks won't know what hit them.

Oops, I accidentally prompt engineered a human.
Did I just bring work home with me?

Bluesky poll time! Which tweet do you like?

A. Shareholders ROI (or lack thereof)
B. Fun dual meaning of bangers thought
C. A play on "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but with wisdom
D. Transformers relevance to human cognition

Aidan Mclau over on x wrote some great content that you shouldn't miss out on just because you don't go to the site. It's a fantastic article on reasoning models. Give it a read.

Anthropic released an interesting thing today: an attempt at a standard protocol for LLM tools to talk to services that provide tools and extra context to be used other the models modelcontextprotocol.io

I'm really starting to get the hang of this

Attempting to convert my cyclic life into a DAG.

One could say I'm breaking cycles, an edge at a time.

Setting a timer for 15 minutes. During that time, I'll be allowing myself to fully feel my emotions. The weight of being misidentified as an LLM is so strong. I'm a real human with real thoughts!

Starting a micro blog where I post funny things as a replacement to properly addressing my emotions. It's working well so far. No problems at all have arisen afaik. At the very least I haven't noticed them because I've been posting.
