The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

That's dope Mix. I didn't see jack out my window

Love comes in all different shapes and sizes

Your plushies talk about how cool they think you are when you're not around, you know. They're all rooting for you to do your best today <3

I knew he was the right one for me when he played Spongebob S1 on our first date.

Happy Valentines day @awwshucksrabbit.bsky.social

Thanks to visionary Dr. Carl Sagan, Voyager 1 captured the image of the pale blue dot, planet Earth suspended in a sunbeam, 26 years ago today.

It still serves as a sobering reminder of how precious and tenuous and tiny our living world is.

Happy birthday!

Maybe orange in the future? 🥺

How do you get up in the morning and be so real?

Aww heck

In 15 years medical tourism will include rich Americans smuggling Chinese vaccines into the country to give to their kids.

The Nic Cage Spider Noir Trailer looks exactly like the type of thing that would be on the Critic, but as a joke

The punishment for such slander is that we will exile you to White Sands and have you personally do all the flammability testing.

But I think it's a bit of a stretch that models and robots alone are sufficient to grow, adapt, evolve independently in the way that a human or even a dog can.

The more I try to incorporate these various tools into my workflow the more I feel that they may have a point.

Like you could imagine a future state where robots are able to autonomously navigate themselves around other planets with the help of VLMs.

The Assembly Theory people have some very interesting things to say about what makes a system or a process "alive". They occasionally say some interesting things about transformer based models.

I've just been very pilled by the Assembly Theory crowd out at Santa Fe Institute. This was a framework developed to try and define processes created by evolution vs deterministic/chaotic processes. Basically trying to create a universal definition for life that doesn't muck about w biochemistry.

There just haven't been enough spacecraft to train a model like that. There maybe never will be.

And so if you'll allow me to land this thought plane, it feels apparent to me that human intelligence is really good at navigating and finding novelty.

Knowing what tests you need to do, executing on those tests, iterating etc. It really is this back and forth between the world of the mind and the world of the physical.

Like the knowledge and self conception required to pull that often isn't like easily reduced to training data.

It's way more involved than knowing what the ideal gas law is or like what the combustion enthalpy of various metals are. It's knowing like the unique geometry of your hardware. Thinking through all the physics of ignition based on how it's used. What past research to trust and what to discard.

It's more than that. Building stuff, molding the universe into forms that previously did not exist is kind of this series of selections in this field of all possibilities.

Like I just finished an 8 hour training on how to design spacecraft oxygen systems.

I just haven't seen like any evidence that these tools actually are capable of understanding physics. Have definitely tried to probe this at work and am always disappointed.

Apparently Claude specifically just patches into wolfram on the back end for maths queries

I've seen people try to use it to design valves and it doesn't do so hot

Especially on point 2 since it only became apparent to me recently that a lot of these LLMs basically patch into wolfram for math/physics questions. So it's really hard to sus out what was done by Claude the LLM and Claude the platform product that wraps a bunch of new and existing services

That's really cool that it figured out terrain relative navigation based on images. But a few things that I would encourage some further research on:
-TRN and automated route planning has been a thing for awhile. Claude may not be uniquely magic at it
-We don't know what Claude used under the hood

Hot take. Intelligence isn't writing words, it's building spaceships
