Nitpick, but the volume increases cubically (it scales with volume), not exponentially.

Thank you, I'll correct that. I was thinking inverse square law, then instead of asking an AI like a good nerd, I just winged it.

Some might say you're a purist in that regard

Side note, would positing an argument online without doing an AI fact check first be considered rawdogging your answer?

It seems fitting.


Personally defined <dtf> as 'don't touch files' in the general claude.md, with the explanation that when this is present in the query, it means to not edit anything, just answer questions.

Worked pretty well up until now, when I include <dtf> in the query, the model never ran around modifying things.


One important operation I've noticed in the examples that do end up with abiogenesis is having a 'copy' operation. In the bf version they use in the paper, one head can copy the byte under it at the location of the other head. Which makes it quite easy to make a self-replicator: just loop on the copy operation and move both heads, essentially (5 instructions). You could try adding the 'copy' operation to your setup and see if that helps!

Seems Claude is also writing the comments for you?

In a world where there isn't work schedule and in general the whole of society's schedule which works around the arbitrary time, I agree with you.


Sure. But this argument is surely less powerful than it was back in the era of church bells and big clocks on factory walls and so on. We now have electronics that add a whole new layer of abstraction to our schedules, to the point that you can now miss a DST change if you're not paying attention. For many people (I'm one) this change is now just a useless irritation.


So adjust the work schedule.

If people want more time in the evening, get up earlier and go to work and go home earlier.

You can even shift school/work schedules throughout the year.


Changing the time (zone) IS changing the work schedule. That is essentially what a time change IS. In the most expedient way possible.


The work schedule is adjusting all the time, and it moves in the opposite direction.


I'd venture this article is written by AI with the density of 'it isn't X, it's Y'


and : kessler syndrome


I think the website was just down when you tried. Skills should work with most models, they are just textual instructions.


I don't understand, you CAN use claude code through the API.


Yeah, but he can't use his $200 subscription for the API.

That's limited to accessing the models through code/desktop/mobile.

And while I'm also using their subscriptions because of the cost savings vs direct access, having the subscription be considerably cheaper than the usage billing rings all sorts of alarm bells that it won't last.


The problem is not knowing whether someone is typing, as far as I understand. But that you may extract some information about what keys are being typed, based on the small differences in timings between them.
