Germans do that all the time. See Berlinglish. So do Ukrainians, although less often.

Well, it is a government agency tasked with audits. Why shouldn't it have root access?

Ah, so more bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy.

Abstract mathematical concepts can eventually be traced back to simple integers, which are traced back to an experience of things in the world (a toddler learns to count 1, 2, 3). And it is precisely because higher mathematics is so far abs

I want a study on the impact of generative AI on knowledge. I fear that AI hallucinations have the potential to destroy all knowledge. For now, when an AI hallucinates, I can still check an established source to see if the fact is correct.

Never experienced pain? Never experienced physically slamming into something? Are you like a toddler who doesn’t yet understand basic physics and object permanence? Then you certainly don’t know what a car crash is.

You would explain the concept to them using analogous experiences they have had. What experience has an LLM had?

You read something and understand it only if you have had analogous experiences. A person from the 16th century would not be able to understand what the words "Call me on FaceTime" means because they have never had an experience o

NoSQL? Sounds like it should’ve been caught by basic length checks on the database field where it was stored.

Another area where this is effective is in learning a language. Just 5-10 minutes of Anki practice a day is a lot better than nothing but hopes and dreams. And flashcard apps work in such a way that even if you get lazy for months, you&#x27

How can I trust anything now? I recently asked ChatGPT if learning multiple languages could slow dementia, and now I realized there’s no way to know the answer to this even if I confirm it isn’t hallucinating.

Almost. There are a million tools like this, but most "don't get it". The problem with TablePlus, DataGrip and most other GUIs for databases or even Airtable clones like NocoDB or VisualDB is they lack the 3 core features I w

This principle, as well as related principles, like the McNamara Fallacy and Goodhart's Law essentially boil down to one lesson I've come to realize in life: "numbers", "metrics" or even a "system" ar

What are the chances of old-school espionage? OpenAI should look for a list of former employees who now live in China. Somebody might've slipped out with a few hard drives.

There's a lesson to be learned here for small bootstrapped SaaS founders. You can still succeed (as a lifestyle business) even when Big Tech has a competing product. Who would pay for email when Gmail is free? And yet FastMail does wel

Even most of the world right now doesn’t care about wokeness and never has. India, the Middle East, Africa, China, Russia etc. never caught on to most woke stuff that came out of the west in the past 20 years.

Or maybe the world is simply returning to the way it has been for pretty much all of recorded history. Wars, male dominance, two fixed genders, oligarchs and barons and racism is the norm for all human beings since forever. “Wokeness” is a

If someone simply asked what are the advantages of bees barbed stingers over wasps non barbed ones, that would be an interesting question. But if someone asks “why” and then proceeds to give a circular logic explanation (it survived because

If your answer is "it's a random mutation" then that settles the "why" question permanently. Why all this idle speculation about bee's stingers, then? It was a random mutation, and it survived, done.
