I don't know why but my elementary school taught my grade of kindergarteners specifically to program using Logo. The class before and after me didn't seem to get this. Some Apple IIe machines that would've quite old by that p

I've noticed entire publishers on Amazon which are just fly-by-night AI slop, probably printed on-demand too. For example, I stumbled on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DT4TKY58 and had never heard of the author. Thei

I suspect Trump would be present-day Caesar if he could. But he doesn't seem like a skilled enough political operator to actually realize that ambition. So articles like this still seem kind of overblown.

Private equity firms seem like the villains many imagine investment bankers to be. Like, actually cracking the bones and sucking the marrow of the little guys in small businesses. Discharging pension obligations, offshoring, cutting corners

Amusing is one word for it. Expert systems were all the rage until they weren't. We'll see how LLMs do by comparison.

Doesn't have to. The LLM will do it! We're done with code, aren't we?

Wouldn't the more correct analogy be a text editor without "Klippy?"

I'm more impressed that 10% can avoid it given how aggressively AI is being shoehorned into everything.

Even then, wouldn't its uncertainty be about the probability of the output given the input? That's different from probability of being correct in some factual sense. At least for this class of models.

The US isn't that society anymore. My brief trips to Japan and Switzerland suggests they may still be in some ways. But the US is fundamentally demotic and geared towards the lowest common denominator in nearly all aspects of life. Any

A comparison I've seen isn't to roulette but to a slot machine. Anthropic itself encourages its employees to treat its use for refactors as a slot machine. [1] It seems like an idea worth exploring formally but I haven't see

This seems like the point of the hype and why it has so much traction. I suspect this hype cycle won't end until a new one forms, whether technology or some catastrophic event (disease, war) changes focus and allows the same delaying t
