I have a similar natural rhythm, or I should say "had". For the first year, especially the first few months, it was a godsend (for my wife, especially), but now that we're in a fairly consistent sleep routine with our two year old (~8pm-7am), I've shifted to something more like 8pm-1am out of necessity.
Although... I was up until 4am and got up at 6:30am and feel surprisingly great, so it still happens from time to time. :)

Wow, I love this benchmark - I've been doing something similar (as a joke for and much less frequently), where I ask multiple models to attempt to create a data structure like:
But with the intro to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. Then I run it through the Web Audio API and see how it sounds.
It's never quite gotten it right, but it's gotten better, to the point where I can ask it to make a website that can play it.
I think yours is a lot more thoughtful about testing novelty, but its interesting to see them attempt to do things that they aren't really built for (in theory!).
Drawbacks for using a pelican on a bicycle svg: it's a very open-ended prompt, no specific criteria to judge, and lately the svg all start to look similar, or at least like they accomplished the same non-goals (there's a pelican, there's a bicycle and I'm not sure its feet should be on the saddle or on the pedals), so it's hard to agree on which is better. And, certainly, having a LLM as a judge, the entire game becomes double-hinged and who knows what to think.
Also, if it becomes popular, training sets may pick it up and improve models unfairly and unrealistically. But that's true of any known benchmark.
Side note: I'd really like to see the Language Benchmark Game become a prompt based languages * models benchmark game. So we could say model X excels at Python Fasta, etc. although then the risk is that, again, it becomes training set and the whole thing self-rigs itself.
I'm slightly confused by your example. What's the actual prompt? Is your expectation that a text model is going to know how to perform the exact song in audio?
Ohhh absolutely not, that would be pretty wild - I just wanted to see if it could understand musical notation enough to come up with the correct melody.
I know there are far better ways to do gen AI with music, this was just a joke prompt that worked far better than I expected.
My naive guess is all of the guitar tabs and signal processing info it's trained on gives it the ability to do stuff like this (albeit not very well).
It's worth nothing that, despite all the noise from religious idiots and those pandering to them, autopsy results were conclusive.
Terri Schiavo suffered severe, irreversible brain damage that left that
organ discolored and scarred, shriveled to half its normal size, and damaged
in nearly all its regions, including the one responsible for vision,
according to an autopsy report released yesterday.
Although the meticulous postmortem examination could not determine the
mental state of the Florida woman, who died March 31 after a judicial and
legislative battle over her "right to die," it did establish the permanence
of her physical condition.
I also have a Pure-O diagnosis, and I totally know what you mean by having a hard time explaining it - it's such a painful conundrum. Glad that you're doing CBT - being able to catch those obsessions and let them dissipate by acknowledging them is super key to getting through it.
I don't usually have enough knowledge on most of the subjects on Hacker News to make a useful comment, but I can absolutely relate to your situation.
I'm a freelance developer with two steady retainers, I have a wonderful partner, and I play in an up-and-coming rock band; I'm doing very well, from an outside perspective. However, for the past few months, I was unable to refill my antidepressant prescription during my transition to CoveredCA (or, at least wasn't sure how to do so, derp), which led me back into a pretty bad case of my depression, anxiety, and obsessive/compulsive behavior.
When I don't take my medication, I can hardly think straight for more than a few minutes at a time before I'm thrust into a really mentally exhausting power cycle of automatic negative thoughts, which usually results in intense physical discomfort and a generally unpleasant demeanor. I get rude and withdrawn, and often binge on comfort foods and mind-numbing television to deal with the fact that I feel absolutely no pleasure in life.
Fortunately, I figured out my medication situation and I'm feeling a lot better. A little embarrassed about some of the work that I produced during that time, but that's life!
I've found that in addition to medication, CONSISTENT exercise and diet and >7 hours of sleep are necessities for me, and if you aren't doing those before the medication, you should give it a try to see if it's enough for you to function well. It's really hard to do this when you don't have a regular routine, as I've come to discover, but you just sort of have to start forcing yourself to be on a schedule of some sort, or plan for when your schedule is going to be somewhat erratic.
Also, seeing a therapist is super beneficial, and I frankly think most people would benefit from seeing one. It really helps you to realize that your "crazies" aren't that crazy, and it's okay to have irrational thoughts and acknowledge them.
