Guys, if it turns out to be based on Qwen, you are going to come apologize for the downvotes, right?

Brett Victor’s essay will resonate, if you haven’t read it yet. https://worrydream.com/KillMath/ (Attn: pls read more than the title before you downvote)

Sort of implies its basis, doesn’t it?

Yeah, because I had generated it, and I wanted to see if I could get it to sound more human with pangram’s crit. I don’t know if I’m just a lot more sensitive, but I find it really hard to write up even basic communication with Claude. Supe

Short story: stones were used to make “arrow-heads” (blades on sticks too small for spears) 25k years earlier than expected.

Super cheap storage and CDN for rapid image access — plus bot control.

Maybe, but when I used it recently on my annoyingly AI-written something it said 100% human.

[2] is an annoying pedantic article that illustrates little beyond a misconception of a misconception.

Cloudflare is truly amazing, they have made so much possible for my main side-project at a price and performance that I can’t really take credit for ( http://sourcelibrary.org ), I don’t care if their text was written with AI, I j

Yeah, I experience this a lot. I call it “zombie mode.” It’s like pulling a slot machine, though. Sometimes AI can go a few turns just with encouragement. But when I don’t maintain conceptual engagement, drift is inevitable. My solution is

How long ago before the Myceneneans does there remain a coherent concept of Greek-ness? “Solon, oh Solon!” — are Greeks truly ancient or relative newcomers in a seafaring land?

What if a world of “vibe coding math” creates 10x as many mathematicians? Like, good ones? Let’s be honest, Gauss and Euler are a statistical phenomenon.

I use Ghostty. I’ve tried iterm and cmux. I think we can do better. It’s a hard problem, admittedly. But important.

Well, if open source AI is dangerous (for OpenAI/Anthropic IPOs?), this is like watching a time bomb.

Terminal should be responsibility of OS. God knows it’s deep enough. It could be so much better—and it matters! I know expecting UX innovation from Apple is laughable, but there was a time…

“ When Russian archaeologists discovered the site in 1993, they were astonished to discover that pieces made of wood, textile, and even cannabis and coriander had survived the millennia. It was the woman herself, however, who proved the mos

Something to improve my mess of ~22 active terminal windows comes to mind.

Thanks. It looks like we have some but not all of the original works you are looking for: https://sourcelibrary.org/librarian/thread/6aa7656bfa07a553c... I’ll try to track down the ones you are looking for tomorro

I’m working on translating the Renaissance — it was mostly written in Latin and 90% of it has never been translated to English. Even big names, like Ficino, Durer, Kircher, Fludd and Drebbel. And that’s Latin— things much more sparse in oth

Disagree about the burden of proof. We have no better model for how human decision making works than LLMs. Humans are constantly predicting the next moment. We certainly have a different “tokenizer” and training set, but many of the concept

Why is anthropomorphism the problem here? If OpenAI hired a contractor and they did this, OpenAI or the contractor would still be liable, depending on the contract language.

“I wanted to see if I can get in on this 10x magic. I decided to put my money where my mouth was and I bought $10 worth of DeepSeek credits to use with a project I was working on.“ Wow. I guess that’s the punchline!

If it is undrivable in a straight line, why does that count? I’d assume the longest you could drive in a perfectly straight line would either be the longest straight highway or some drivable desert.
