I think its another example of the Gell-mann amnesia effect, if your'e an expert in something then the AI is often wrong and you're confused why people are saying its great, if you're less skilled then it can be impressive.

Maybe to reduce electromagnetic coupling? Seems they're offset a bit.

I don't have the math, but doesn't quantum field theory say this?

A quote I saw today: "Maybe AI seems like a creative solution, if you aren't a creative person.", seems to explain a lot of this maybe. Edit: Found the source: https://www.eurogamer.net/maybe-ai-is-a-creative-

IBM tried that with CMM (capability maturity model), it didn't work, the problem is NASA knows what they're building, rockets and satellites don't have any grey areas and everything is specified. Other things are less well de

Indeed, but if we reach that point then we've probably got AGI, so not really much to worry about. Is there a point where AI can replace entire software dev teams, but nothing else? ie not quite AGI, seems unlikely, if you ask a produc

There was a time when the thinking was you can load all the facts into a prolog engine and it would replace experts like doctors and engineers - expert systems, it didn't work. Now its a curiosity

> skill of an all-around businessman So do you imagine that AI will reach the point that a business guy will say make me a web site to blah blah blah, and the AI will say sure boss and it will appear? Sort of what a dev/team of devs

Isn't a big part of it knowing what to ask Claude Code - for example I wanted some code to brighten/darken my buttons on mouseover, I asked Claude to make some code to do that, it was a bit wrong, I fixed it. I integrated the code

I think we've reached Star Trek level AI. In Star Trek (and the next generation) people would ask the computer questions and it would spout out the answers, which is really similar to what LLM's are doing now, though minus the occ

I haven't used Roblox but Lua has the ability to create sandboxes to run user code. You expose only the functionality you allow to the user code, usually block I/O, and any unsafe functions. https://luau.org/sandbo

I did the math some years ago on how much computing is required to simulate a human brain - a brain has around 90 billion neurons with each neuron having an average of 7,000 connections to other neurons. Lets assume thats all we need. So wh

Have you tried Delphi lately, very fast, compiles in less than a second.

I have written a number of services in Delphi, some 20 years ago, all works fine.

Delphi isn't dead - ver 13 was recently released - https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi . It's even cross platform, uses Skia as its graphics engine, its all very nice.

Thats probably why I use it - no corporates and gamers use it so it doesn't get enshittified like java/c#/c++ etc no committees either.

You've done a very nice job. I don't know if you're interested in going that way but I'd happily purchase a book describing the code etc

I play low stakes poker occasionally, there is nothing better than a bunch of students sitting at the table :-) As an aside I think poker in casinos is the only game that you have a chance of winning at.

For anyone nostalgic there is still a Wimpy's burger in Wodonga (Victoria, Australia), I was driving through there last week, and was amazed to see it. It was a good burger and very cheap ($8AUD)

Its way more than this, today I got it to write some code, and a bit was wrong, I told it why it was wrong and it said oh ok, and toddled off and fixed it - in all the places that were wrong. This is way more than an encyclopaedia could, lo
