Would it be worth upgrading from my M4 Pro 48GB to M5 Pro 64GB

It’s hard to tell at this point. You’ll get two more cores and more memory but they moved to chiplets which could hit performance on this first try. Best to wait for actual benchmarks

I feel like a lot of these types of apps could just be spreadsheets. Maybe a "smart" spreadsheet like Grist[0] executing Python code. Am I off-base there?

I agree. While I really like the idea of being able to query some of this data, it's another system to maintain. I have a system where I use a calendar, physical folder, and notes/folder in the cloud. Call me lazy.

Algal omega 3 is the exact same omega3 in fish. This isn't a product endorsement, but you can see an example here: https://www.amazon.com/GparkNature-Supplements-Supplement-Tu...

Algal ALA has a different chemical makeup https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Omega3FattyAcids-HealthPro...

Edit: I think you mean Algae (which is EPA) Edit2: My mistake, I read Algal as ALA rather than Algae (algal)

are they artificially converting the ALA to DHA? we treat omega3 like they are all one bucket but theres a big difference.
deeth_starr_v · a month ago
That's part of my question. ALA is supposed to not convert to DHA easily.

But these results seem to say at higher concentrations ALA lowers risk of EOD. Which tends to refute the belief that only DHA/EPA lower chronic inflammation or that EOD is not just a story about inflammation.

> Compared to participants at Q1 of DHA, those at Q5 of non-DHA showed a significant lower risk of EOD. A statistically significant lower risk was observed in Q3, Q4 and Q5 of non-DHA omega-3

If I'm reading this right, if you can't get many fish sources in your diet, it's better to increase the quantity of non-DHA sources (certain seeds, oils and vegetables). But my understanding is non-DHA is not helpful so I may not be understanding correctly

But wait, we have tools that can introspect on the semantic content of these skills, so why not make a skill that checks the security of other skills? You would think that'd be one of the first things people put together!

Ideally such a skill could be used on itself to self-verify. Of course it could itself contain some kind of backdoor. If the security check skill includes exceptions to pass it's own security checks, this ought to be called a Thompson vulnerability. Then to take it a step further, the idea of Thompson-completeness: a skill used in the creation of other skills that propagates a vulnerability.

The 1password blog links to a better Cyberinsider.com article that I think covers the issue better. One suggestion from that article is to check the skill before using (this felt like a plug for Koi security). I suppose you could have a claude.md to always do this but I personally would be manually checking any skill if I was still using Moltbot.

So clearly someone, at some point, managed to run this, surely? That's where the screenshots come from? I just don't understand how, given the code is riddled with errors.

Maybe they just asked an AI to create an image of a rendered webpage?

jameslk · 3 months ago
The need to hate on Grokipedia is weird to me. It’s another site on the web. It’s an experiment with LLMs. Who cares?

It can be filled with a bunch of nonsense, whatever. The internet is like that. Maybe it’ll actually become something useful. Or it’ll inspire something useful.

Regardless, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, so these articles just give the project airtime. Even commenters here mention they haven’t heard of it until now.

Backbone operators in the US should not be allowed to connect to networks that connect to low trust countries.

I doubt this would be legal unless proven to be a national security issue (1st amendment grounds).
