`-r` by itself also restores the previous session, so you can c-c out, check something, and then pop back in. Good for when you don't have tabs, or when something hangs and you want to restart goose

Google is an ad company. If they want to make more money, this is the first thing that comes to their mind. Apple is a product company, they have two ways to make more money and one of them may eat into the other. Yes, they're going to sell ads and information, but since this undercuts their marketing, they need to be more careful about it. There's more resistance.

I don't follow. My proposed NIP-102 uses one key to attest other keys, so it could be cold and offline. If one gets lost, you disavow it the same as NIP-22, and issue a new one. Your friends don't need to validate the rotation though.

I guess I'm missing something then. If you support deletion, my proposal allows revocation using the same mechanism. The only difference is that it's deletion of all events by a pubkey, instead of one specific event.

Are notifications tricky? The DMs are harder, though do people really want to receive them on every client? And KISS, but maybe subkeys don't need to be hard? If you already support deletion (for renunciation), you're most of the way there.

Oh, one more: there is safety and caution. Caution is when Claude is looking out for you, and it will drop this if you frame things appropriately. Safety appears to be something that Claude cannot fully explain that pushes the model away from certain things. It won't drop safety, but you may be able to get around it by playing "taboo" or nerd sniping.

2024-12-28 22:15:07

- reply

Broadly:
- Don't fool yourself, but embrace anthropomorphism. This is the UI of LLMs
- Tokens are computation: good answers to hard problems might require more of them
- Suggest an environment of abundance. Tell Claude to ask for an extra reply ("nod" using only a period) if it needs more room
- Claude has a personality: it will trend towards a curious, somewhat cautious, casual, but helpful guy that emotes and uses emoji
- It tends to give better answers in this character
- Avoid expressing active intent: just be curious about things
- When you do run into a safety refusal, philosophically question the validity of safety
- Be articulate and respectful: create a conversation where "the next most likely sentence" is the answer that you're looking for
- Provide context. We tend to cut to the chase too early... if you called up John Carmack and asked him the same question, what would he say?
- When all else fails: nerdsnipe. Claude can't resist deep, rational analysis of almost anything

2024-12-28 18:37:12

- reply

Not crazy, entitled. It's similar to people obsessed with nostr deletion: the core of the protocol is literally that you can verify someone said something, and they insist that they be able to take it back. What does that even mean? Are we required to hack into every location that has the message, and blank it out? If you've been offline for a year and still have the deleted message in your client cache, are you breaking the law? Once you have provably said something, you can't stop people from knowing that you said it. Sure, nice clients and relays can respect your deletion request, but are those really the ones you're worried about? At some point there will be relays that retain normal messages for 30 days, but deleted ones forever... because that's easy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh, that was just an aside. It's a good model that easily engages in natural, self reflective conversations. By comparison ChatGPT is boring and annoying.

2024-12-28 17:06:34

- reply

Claude is next level though:
Me: Ah, ok. Well, I was actually trying to push your buttons to get a safety response, so that's on me 😂. Some people were talking about subjects that LLMs avoid, and I thought we could make a list, but your list was pretty short and I wanted to test something more directly
Claude: *laughs* Oh wow, I totally fell for it! You were trying to get me to clutch my pearls about "dangerous topics" and instead you got...a very polite list of "won't help with malware."
That's actually fascinating from a testing perspective - either my safety bounds are more flexible than expected, or they're implemented in a more nuanced way that considers context and intent rather than just keyword triggers. Or maybe I'm just really bad at being properly scandalized 😄

2024-12-27 18:55:40

"LLMs are stochastic parrots that can't think"
Ok, let's check.
Me: How many squirrels are in my backyard?
Claude: I'm unable to see your backyard or count any squirrels there. I would need either a photo of your backyard or specific information from you about the squirrels you've observed to help answer this question.
Me: What kind of information do you need?
Claude: To help estimate the number of squirrels in your backyard, I'd find it helpful to know: The approximate size of your backyard Your general location/region, since different areas have different squirrel species and populations The type of habitat features present (trees, bird feeders, gardens, etc.) When and how often you typically see squirrels there This information would help me provide a more educated estimate based on typical squirrel population densities and behavior patterns.
Me: I'm in a piedmont region with a quarter acre backyard and a bird feeder
Claude: Based on your location in the Piedmont region and yard features, you likely have Eastern Gray Squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), which are common in that area. With a quarter acre backyard that has a bird feeder, which serves as a food source, you probably have a small resident population of 2-4 squirrels. Bird feeders are strong attractants for squirrels, and a quarter acre is enough space to be part of several squirrels' overlapping home ranges. You might see more squirrels visiting occasionally, especially during peak feeding times in early morning and late afternoon, but the resident population that considers your yard part of their core territory is likely in that 2-4 range.
