Thinking of resurrecting my blog (again, again), now the important question: figuring out the domain name!
I just saw this advertised:
Anthropic: Research Engineer / Scientist, Alignment Science, London - Annual Salary: £250,000 - £270,000 GBP

Not that I'm qualified to do it, but I wonder if those are real salaries?

I wanted to try combining stimulants / non-stimulants, but they haven't approved this in the UK. I've been through the whole set of stimulants now. I'm just trying out Medikinet XL, which is the slow-release methylphenidate. I've not found anything that has more benefits than side effects yet. :-(

I love the artwork on old games covers and packaging :-)

I've never fed myriad stuff to AI. I'm mainly generating Python and C++
This is more a problem of mass hiring, and picking the wrong people.
No, I meant you hire all java programmers, train then and get them to do F#. I've seen it cause a civil war due to the volume and difference of technocratic beliefs.
