Cognition with the help of AI is already a significant force in our world1, resulting in humanity-sized missed opportunities and risks. In this article, we will explore the risks of AI-assisted cognition and how to use these tools without falling into the trap of intellectual stagnation. --> I forked github.com/gijsdev/ublock-hide-yt-shorts, did some cleanup and added a few more filters to hide all YouTube Shorts.
I will maintain this fork in the future.1 Establish a Clear VisionYou are a human, you know how this world behaves, how your team and colleagues behave, and what your users expect. You have experienced the world, and you want to work together with a system that has no experience in this world you live in. --> I stumbled upon this quite bonkers article about building a web search engine from scratch as a solo developer with relatively modest resources, i absolutely can recommend reading it: Building a web search engine from scratch in two months with 3 billion neural embeddings --> This is a super cool leaderboard for lossless text compression via NLP (and yes, that includes AI)! The top solution manages to compress the first GB of the English Wikipedia to a whopping 10. --> As i coded on OuroborosDB i noticed that i need a very fast queue for a rather unique architectural design decision. I try to build the network module in such a way that i can test the behavior completely deterministic while “simulating” entire clusters in a single process. --> For specific posts, I added an audio version to enhance accessability and maybe it is just nice to have something read it to you. I am using Kokoro-TTS which is the first open weight TTS model that has sufficient quality for me to use it on my blog. --> I forgot to mention that i released a new tool for my project ouroboros-db, so here it is: The “OuroborosDB Overhead Calculator” is a little tool which helps you to calculate the overhead of erasure coding systems while also considering the overhead of indexes and the blocks themselves. --> This is a Dev Journal for the Ouroboros DB Project. I try to write down my thoughts and ideas Somewhat structured to have it as a reference for later and i publish it to give this information a chance to help other and to get feedback from the community. --> In the midst of working on my project, ouroboros-db, I realized I needed a straightforward way to locate other nodes using the same RSA key. That’s when PathfinderBeacon came into being and that i release to the public with these words. --> Book Don’t Die Personal Note:Since Bryan has started selling food replacement products aimed at promoting longevity, I am inclined to interpret his statements as being influenced by his interest in selling these products. --> The Evolution Of What It Means To Be Human TLDR: The article “The Evolution Of What It Means To Be Human” by Nathan Gardels, editor-in-chief of Noema Magazine, explores the concept of human identity in the context of our interactions with the natural cosmos and the environment we have formed through technology and culture. -->
