Oh hey, something I know something about!

I've long held the belief that if you want to simulate human behaviour, you need human-like memory storage, because so much of our behaviour is influenced by how our memories work. Even something as stupid as walking into between rooms and forgetting why you went there, is a behaviour that would otherwise have to be simulated directly but can be indirectly simulated by the memory of why an Agent is moving from room to room having a chance of disappearing.

Now, as for how useful this will be for something that isn't trying to directly simulate a human and is trying to be "superintelligent", I'm not entirely sure, but I am excited that someone is exploring it.

I never did get many citations for these, maybe I just wasn't very good at "marketing" my papers.


The memory system I am working on is specifically targeted at simulating human memory and retrieval patterns, including memory consolidation during sleep cycles. I would love to discuss the topic more with you - I'll look into getting access to your papers.

My research would be wildly out of date by now but I'm happy to chat. I probably have pre-corrections copies of some of the papers I could send you... and about a hundred citations I fetched back when I was doing this research.

Is this an alt account I didn’t know I had?


its globally in the hub. The announcement says they are rolling out the block in March but this already blew up my k8s clusters since last weekend. Have tried looking for an option to tell k8s to always use authentication tokens for image pulls, but can't find a way, going to have to add Kyverno to mutate all incoming Deployments to add imagePullSecrets.


Lots of examples on this channel, but here’s a lovely one https://youtu.be/I8r2EAb0Yoo


If someone can make it so it doesn't feel like I can no longer think or move any muscles or start sweating if I go more than about 3 hours without eating, then I'm on board! Also hunger pangs. Please no.


You are describing hypoglycemia. Are you often thirsty, tired, hangry? Pee a lot at night?

If so, it might be a good idea to go and check your blood sugar.


Yeah unfortunately I’ve had these symptoms throughout my life, have been regularly checked for diabetes but no dice. My dad has type 1 so we recognised my symptoms, but apparently it isn’t diabetes.


I hope its manageable! Glad to hear that it isn't diabetes at least.

Wife is T1, so whenever I hear people describe hyper/hypoglycemia I can't help but to ask.


Appreciate your concern! :) Apparently hypoglycemia without diabetes is a thing (you prompted me to google), so I've ordered a blood sugar monitor and I'll do tracking for a week or two with a fast.


That certainly sounds like Accenture.


I think curated packages is part of what https://tidelift.com/ is trying to achieve.

I have an outstanding Bounty on a SO question for how to write a reusable useRef hook that only runs on the very first mount under StrictMode conditions:

Saw this and instantly want one. I have no idea what I’ll use it for, maybe just an extremely expensive fidget spinner, but I want one.

As per usual living in the UK will make it cost prohibitive to make it myself, but I would pay probably $150-200 for a retail one.


I'd love to know more about how you're doing enums. We use JSDoc annotated JS code with tsc switched on to get the IDE integration, and I spent a huge chunk of time yesterday getting enums to work so that for example we could define a type where only certain enum values were valid (enum member types https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#unio... )

Was preparing a blog post on this enum work, but if you've solved it differently it'd be great to know :)


My approach is really pragmatic. You're unlikely to mix enums that have nothing to do with each other. The only issue in those enums that you could possibly get mixed up. For those you can just use non-overlapping integers for the values. It also makes debugging easier "over the wire", because you're probably not encoding the enums as strings. There is really no reason to have all enums map to the same handful of integers. If you don't do that, it just works.
