I think it is important to realize, that we need to understand language on our own terms. The logic of LLMs is not unlike alien technology to us. That being said, the minimalist program of Chomsky lead to nowhere, because just like programm

I teach programming to designers and architects at the local university. We're using Processing quite successfully, because it skips a lot of steps. My daughters are too young and are still doing Scratch (with the great micro:bit). But

I missed out so much. When I was a college student, I rejected photos, as digital cameras where everywhere, and I was a snob, in my high school times taking analog camera photo. I read a lot of books about Zen, living in the moment, but now

Don't believe them. I was also going to university in Germany and had to work so much to compensate for bad lecturers. Until now I can say I needed 100% of what I learned in university. Even the most esoteric stuff came back to bite me

To be fair, Java Swing was my first GUI programming experience, and is still the best I had. For Desktop, fast iteration, no budget, and works anywhere, it's basically Swing or Electron.

For me it is only the visiting family use case, where rental doesn't make sense. We have car sharing in the city (Miles) which fixes almost all use cases. Driving to the airport only when without kids, as they both still need car seats

Seriously, with the number of invites, slots, to juggle. Might be better to work again like a dev and with text files in an IDE. Would be funny to send invites with raising a PR. Merging, reviewing, ... what a beautiful mess.

this might be in the way of alan kay's core idea, sending messages with interpreters. if we want to go all the way of the snowcrash pipe dream, then imagining objects with programs thrown around is more realistic than making it somehow

this is a fun exercise. but I saw it a lot of times in big companies where people are too afraid to make changes. where also the open-closed principle comes from. something I don't like anymore in practice. because one has to get away

I did OR in my Bachelor thesis, and then at my first project at my first job. It worked like magic, and business was sure it wouldn't work. Still one of the projects I always talk about. It was for organizing screens unto pallets unto

I was doing this, and then it is confusing for people to follow. Nowadays I do this, too. But when I am ready, I write up everything once, then add in the details.

Prolog is AI, so whenever I see such a problem, I use miniKanren, implementing Relational/Logic programming in a light-weight way. Bleeding edge AI it is.

Germany anyway is a special case, because at this time it was quite heterodox. And even in protestant countries like Prussia, you could have a positive effect from Catholic countries surrounding like Poland. Also the quoted articles don&#x2

I am going to work by bike, and in the beginning, I could still get to zone 2. Now this is really hard to achieve. It becomes really hard to push yourself enough.

One has to be careful not to backdate our current understanding of identity. Identities were rich and very fluid, being German was an identity, which the Dutch ("Deutsch") had until very recently. But for example religion was very

Junior's are so fast seniors nowadays, at least in my world of management systems, e.g., Salesforce, SAP. One year, and they are senior. But it takes courage and guidance from the company. I think it is a real weakness to concentrate o

I had to sign off that I am not concerned of the likely undetonated bombs underneath my home when buying my apartment this year. In Hamburg, Germany, there are so many bombs still under buildings, because buildings were put on top hastily.

off-topic, but I saw it now several times, why do you put a 0 in front of the 1990? I feel like I am being left-out of some insider joke.

On the West Coast (Izmir, Dikili, Cesme, Bodrum) it is custom. It is sometimes called Italian or Roman ice cream, even though I never ate this ice cream in Italy. My two little girls picked this one even up, so it is custom right now, and I

All Izmirian's I know told me that it is okay to drink with water, but they would never do :) So I always drink pure. I quite like the taste.

Thanks for the insight, Görkem! I was always thinking CPQs make a really good use case. We had so many problems with performance, not your product, CPQ is becoming a standard software for pricing contracts.
