I think probably both things can be true. That all of those things can be actively harmful when they distract the most productive coders from coding, and become more useful when time at a keyboard isn't really the constraint for produ

It inherently imitates people. Even when you ask it to be more robotic, it does it in a way that a human would if you asked them to be more robotic.

I'm disappointed at how gullible people are about this. Spirit as an asset is worth less than $0. Buying it would be a commitment to set money on fire for a decade.

The answer is, yes, it will. And it will play test one, and even handles multiplayer quite nicely.

Having panics in these are pretty amateur hour even just on a Rust level. I could see if they were like alloc errors which you can't handle, but expect and unwraps are inexcusable unless you are very carefully guarding them with invar

I hooked up an MCP server to a MUD and got some pretty amazing results, including Claude Code agents in separate windows chatting with each other and cooperating on building out a new section.

They don't do it the way that private schools do, but they do have a variety of mechanisms for weeding out undesirable students, which they use, even though they are not legal. There is almost no enforcement for any of it.

They're also allowed to use wikipedia to use research. It has similar sorts of problems.

My wife is on a school board in a large district that is trying to cut spending. The problem is not really how much money they have and giving them more money doesn't help. The problem at least in our state is: Public schools are sub

His derivations are genuinely pretty, but it isn’t a result when everything he claims is actually just wrong.

Thinking about this some more. It having a NAND style combinator for elementary functions is probably impossible. ln(x) is inescapable as part of the composition in the generator somewhere, and you can't generate subtraction without

So here is the problem -- we have two constructions of -z. Whether or not this shows up in a tree somewhere if you try to compose functions together is probably undecideable. Either they aren't equal and you've broken any tree tha

The only lawsuits so far have been over training on open source software. You're inventing a liability problem that essentially does not exist.
