I think looking at a baby laugh is proof enough that human brains and LLMs are two different things.
If you haven't watched it, you might enjoy this movie. Came to mind with your reference the brain's soul.

Good call.
Lyn making a wrong move is quite a sight. I think it's the first time I see that.

Well, if you want to take Wikipedia as a common definition...
Under Gresham's law, "good money" is money that shows little difference between its nominal value (the face value of the coin) and its commodity value (the value of the metal of which it is made, often precious metals, such as gold or silver),

I remember having tea with a Turkish man and having him tell me with a straight face: "I'm not having any children with this inflation and economy. I just won't."
That cuts deep.

@k00b, I don't know if you are a polymath, but your content consumption surely looks like one's.

I follow you, thanks.
It makes me wonder how coolio would it be to have a kind that is not "follow" but "trust". So that we could truly communicate publicly "I trust this guy".
I think it could the foundation of very, very interesting stuff.

I think the issue might be my understanding of what we mean by "trust" in this context.
Just playing stupid here, how would you describe "trusting" a key?
Nostr is not a web of trust. Right?

I think your reasoning is fine, but you're lacking the awareness that there's a lot of people that don't have access to credit with such conditions.

I get your analytics approach regarding materialized views + metabase. That makes sense.
Knowing that's what you are using I think you could appreciate some of the advantages of the approach I'm proposing. For instance, I'm kind of guessing you might be irritated by the fact that with Metabase is hard to version control and build with regular git ways of working (e.g. PR flows). Or not having clear dependency mapping regarding which dashboards rely on which tables of your backend, which means you might blow up some dashboard accidentally when working on the backend database.
Regarding internal/external, I think it could be used for any of the two really.
I could be interested in building hands-on.
What do you think about this:
  • I make a standalone repo on github that showcases in a very stupid, hello-world grade way the approach while reading from some mock Postgres tables that resemble real tables from stacker.news.
  • You take a look and see if it clicks in your mind.
  • If you're interested, then we can discuss which serious, useful analytics internal use cases or page features this could be applied to. And open issues, discuss bounties and the like.
Should I want to DM you about this, what's the best place?

I'm thinking of something similar to a static site generator. You define s set of queries towards Postgres and visuals with code, check it into git, build it periodically. You can serve the pages publicly or keep them internal. All based on FOSS.
