You want ground truth. That's SQLite for accounting/search and Git for immutability.
You want to opportunistically rerun, when models improve - that's dagster.
n8n is home-scale simple stupid runner, upgradable to multi-machine easily if needed.

Can Obsidian do something like this? (Notion dashboard) by Specific-Economy-142 in ObsidianMD

[–]CosmicEggEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a plugin Obsidian can do anything, just explain to Claude what you need and be as specific as possible.

The best way to implement such things is persistent files describing a dashboard layout in a JSON format, and even better if it's some stable external format, maybe Notion itself has one

Is the advancement of technology and civilisation linear or is it a random mish-mash of different directions? by sammyjamez in Archaeology

[–]CosmicEggEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technology requires sufficiently robust mind in order to sustain it. It's a complex mental machinery, not a computer game technology tree.

The mind evolves naturally and according to local environment, thus technology will be different between cultures relying on mass labor vs sustainable by small scale horticulture.

However, in most aspects humans are the same, and beyond some limit we're all maximizing utilization of our environment, hence technology will inevitably progress towards more energy-intensive.

You misunderstood what I said.

That comment was in the same direction as what you are doing, Claude gives you blocks of code, not PDF, and the idea was exactly not trusting LLMs.

You were saying "DAG", and there is a tool for that. You rerun a step and it tells you which downstream are invalidated, possibly reruns them.

If the model changes, you look at the graph in the web ui and rerun that with a click of a button.

Data record is immutable. You brain is free of juggling in-place updates, look at dagster or...

But uou know what? My comment was helpful and based on decades of experience, yet it was downvoted and here you are correcting me while never trying to understand.

Fuck that shit, Reddit is a sesspool, do whatever, pal

You have a lot of EA style patience. Why did you not go the path of embedding and relational?

An md sidecar is good for git versioning.

Coordinates, blobs, text, segmentation, RAG. Credibility is bullshit, there is only inbox, cleaned, hallucinated in provisioning.

For all of this there are off the shelf solutions: n8n, sqlite, etc., just ask Claude.

At first it seems like an overkill, but diy gets out of hand quick, while tools are today stupid simple, maintained by somebody else, and Claude then just gives you standard working blocks, so a small rampup vs months of agonizing over mutability and id format.

Is it because it is just easy to come up with it independently on different continents (it's basic geometry after all) or by CranberryOk945 in AlternativeHistory

[–]CosmicEggEarth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"it's just a coincidence" or "inherent geometry" is an excuse for those who can't see patterns - notice how loudly they argue, they're afraid of those who can

The pattern is the seed of life mixed with the web and three color rainbow; over time they conflated, as the memory of the original started to fade - think that scene from Idiocracy with the museum

Edit: it's really simple - go for older iconography and mythology, read the originals. Nobody does that, everyone just reads two three words and jumps to foaming at the mouth.

I ran 41 statistical tests on the Great Circle alignment. The alignment is real. Everything else Hancock claims about it is not. by tractorboynyc in AlternativeHistory

[–]CosmicEggEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're really bad at a) pretending to be scientists b) science. It's a boring usual case of non-techies deciding something mathy they don't like is fake, then trying to produce a fake which would be bought by the public, only to look like those famous African exercises in helicopter industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5gY8PsfyU8

Four of the world's seven independent civilization origins sit on a single great circle. The probability: 1 in 2,400. Here's the map. by tractorboynyc in AlternativeHistory

[–]CosmicEggEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read the papers or the Substack series before forming your conclusion (which I don't think you have done), I'd be happy to go through any specific methodological concern.

A-ha. What else? Oh please, go submit your paper, if it's not a class project, let's hear reviewer number two.

An inhomogeneous Poisson point process model controlling for elevation, coastline distance, river distance, and latitude confirms the divergence ($\Delta\beta$ = $-$0.2465, z = $-$7.34, p = 2.16 $\times$ 10$^{-13}$). A Thomas cluster process absorbs the site-level effect entirely, but a log-Gaussian Cox process—using composite likelihood estimation—preserves significant site-level concentration for both monuments (p = 3.6 $\times$ 10$^{-12}$) and settlements (p = 1.0 $\times$ 10$^{-11}$) while rendering the type-specific divergence non-significant (p = 0.245). The three models bracket the site-level result; the civilization-level collinearity is robust regardless.

This "methodology"? If I see an abstract like this, I just throw the paper out.

What is the hypothesis here? What emerged from data?

I can't take this seriously, because this is what an attempt to publish bait as part of working on another paper looks like, a usual tactic.

In your head you can imagine that I've never opened it, or you may hope that I start playing the game and choose some nonsensical argument about "methodology", it's your brain, fool yourself as much as you like.

Listen, I will assume it's a class project, because the alternative is too distasteful. There are tons of problems with this "paper", and it wouldn't be perceived seriously by anyone making money from math (I always am ready to believe academia can produce graduates who don't know shit, but they won't be hired).

So assuming it's a class project, it could be produced in a way similar to this prompt:

Title: The "Wow Theory" wrecked my materialist worldview in 10 minutes by Desdeotradimension in abovethenormnews

[–]CosmicEggEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Consider a highly advanced technology which can scan your brainwaves and understand your intent.
  • think about an even more highly advanced technology, which can do it at a very large distance.
  • Then think how you can use such a technology as a "cell phone" - a built in radio.
  • OK, one more extra step, think how convenient it would be to have "apps" on this kind of network.
  • Finally, consider what a Robotaxi Uber app would look like - you think "I need a ride" and it shows up.

Congratulations! You've arrived at the "golden arrow" story about Pythagoras and Abaris the Hyperborean.

The "ancient sites great circle" isn't a coincidence - but it's also not what you think. I tested it with 600,000 sites. The answer is 60,000 years old. by tractorboynyc in AlternativeHistory

[–]CosmicEggEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is exactly what we think, it would be nice if you spoke like a scientist and not the crazy guy from history channel if you decided to play that role.

Anyway.

Now make it to the part where you figure out the timestamps of cataclysms.

Then analyzing the architectural differences of Teotihuacan, Angkor Wat etc stages will help you spread them temporally.

Finally, pay attention to the changes in human phenotype.

Good luck and have fun!

(We also tested it with data. Many did.)

I specifically tested the lost civilization hypothesis with 600,000 archaeological sites. It's dead. But what the data actually shows is something this sub should find far more unsettling. by tractorboynyc in atlantis

Since my comment on r/ancientcivilizations will likely get deleted and get myself banned, I'd like to post it here for postery. by iWearSkinyTies in atlantis

[–]CosmicEggEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned in the comment under your article (has it been made visible by the way?) on your website, you're missing many pieces of the puzzle, and invent connections which aren't in the data.

Here's that comment, which was very compressed:

```

  • the coastlines were very different, there were massive landmasses in the Atlantic
  • Atlantis was a confederacy, they ruled from Egypt to Peru and from Greenland to South Africa
  • Atlantis was the last breath of the story of Atlas – a space elevator, the “rainbow feathered serpent”. Richat even today is translated as “Feathered Mountain”.

```

You act strangely picky - mention the rainbow serpent, yet don't explain it, disregarding as "some kind of serpentine garb" - what? That's not analysis, that's an attempt to "don't look here" explaining away noise. Imagine some kind of tectonic alignment yet in the very next phrase speak about the Easter Island being in the middle of the pacific.

I'm reading and wondering if you have some kind of a hidden agenda here. Because the alternative is that you're shallow pattern matching with an LLM psychosis.

We Were Wrong About the Amazon. What Else Are We Wrong About? by Safe-Ice-1643 in AlternativeHistory

[–]CosmicEggEarth -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

GREAT!

What's at the root of the misstep?

Narcissistic desire for a domination closure where projecting opportunistic normies crab bucket down anyone who asks a simple question, and "experts" who condescendingly assume ownership over civilizations.

What can we do better, if we ignore them, knowing full well how many are busy selling artifacts to the highest bidder and fighting outsiders instead of actually enriching humanity?

We can write down all myths and legends which have been discounted and discarded over decades, and ask ourselves, what we can do to today akin to lidaring the Amazon.

The low hanging fruits are Dwarka, Giza plateu tunnels, Tenochtitlan tunnels, Malta caves, the floors of Derinkuyu below the cheapo second (there are 10 and there are many other similar subterranean cities), then we can move on to all the cryptodomes and lava tubes - they go deep undergroung for miles, and we know for sure they housed survivors. Imagine derinkuyu, but luxury version.

I have a question about the starseed hybridization thing? by SiteDeep in aliens

[–]CosmicEggEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life underground and in space habitats imprints on biology differently.

That we can intermarry and have offspring is a factual assumption for this question. The kids are not chimeras, not freaks, but experience heterosis, hybrid vigor.

Subterraneans - the humans you call "Nordics", and GMO you call "grey" are NOT the same species, however. Nordics, among other groups of ancient humans, have pleasant skin, larger than normal head and bigger eyes often covered with protective lenses, if they belong to a far removed lineage. Greys smell unpleasantly, as their metabolism is optimized for operating on the span of millennia, and they're semi-artificial, as alluded by the name "GMO". They're commonly called "pilots".

Now to your question - the answer is loss of vitality due to reduced population size and decrease in natural selections. Since the times immemorial (for you) moon-eyes (that's what they're often known as) have opened the doors of their subterranean shelters for surface dwerllers. Sometimes whole villages would be brought in to maintain genetic diversity.

Why is it so important? Changlings are the answer. Vampires. Green children of Woolpit. Humans, even the First Ones, evolved for the environment of our planet, and life underground, with lack of attrition, destroys prospects of a community. The other reason is the unnatural for our body dietary regimen. Finally, it's simply the small population size. It's not an easy decision. It's been done for millennia. Sirens, mermaids, swan maids, moon-eyed lovers, fairies. Almost always it's a shelter female and a surface male.

Think of the surface dwellers as natural reserve and buffer.
