Yes, I know the splaying is normal for non-shoe wearing folks and not what I'm talking about.

I'm not talking about splay bro. Length. Size matters. bwahaha.

Women's feet have grown 30% since 1960. Look it up. Doesn't mean the trend will continue, it just means evolution can indeed happen very rapidly under certain circumstances, and for primates to keep long toes for a very long time
65.
by quantadev 1y ago
Sure it is. Especially when talking about relative sizes of existing anatomy rather than completely new anatomy. For example: Women's feet have gotten considerably larger over the past several decades. For example, in the 1960s, the av

Look at the feet of a monkey. They're basically long fingers. That's what I'm getting at.

by quantadev 1y ago
You can tell those feet had toes that were much longer and stronger than modern toes are. Makes sense since these creatures were closer back to when we were like monkeys climbing thru trees.

AI is already superior to humans for 99% of coding tasks. It can do a day's worth of coding in seconds, and write code better than even the best humans. Thousands of times better. Thousands of times faster. In the past several weeks I&

That's why we have interpreters and compilers: So we can make code easier to read. FORTRAN was originally invented as a way to let humans think in terms of parenthetical groupings for math and functions, specifically to _avoid_ reasoni

Yeah, the Japanese incorrectly put verbs at the end of the sentence! Just like Yoda does. Asian he must be. Incorrect they all are. But seriously, yeah computers are naturally 'Stack Machines' [almost] always, where they need the

I'll do that. Thank you.

Yeah, I definitely didn't understand that! Thanks for explaining. I've bookmarked this thread, because there's several commands that look more powerful and clean than what I'm currently doing which is to "docker sav

True, the main country who has proven itself to be untrustworthy and doing it's best to covertly poison America and the West in general is...you guessed it... China.

Thanks for the link. I'm not even saying GR isn't emergent from something else. All I'm saying is that it contains the sum total of what is currently the proven mathematics governing gravity. I myself have many 'unproven

Seems like it makes more sense to build on the build machine, and then just copy images out to PROD servers. Having source code on PROD servers is generally considered bad practice.

by quantadev 1y ago
Yeah, RPN is essentially what you'd get as output if you compiled LISP using a compiler. Claiming RPN is as easy to deal with as LISP would be utterly absurd, and no one genuinely believes that.

I always just use "docker save" to generate a TAR file, then copy the TAR file to the server, and then run "docker load" (on the server) to install the TAR file on the target machine.

Shape of space simply means the "Metric Tensor", and saying it's the sum total of what General Relativity is describing isn't some "bold" or "weird" framing (your words); it's both complete and c

The evidence is that I sit back and watch Claude write code all day long every day.

The parenthesis in LISP make it dramatically easier to deal with than RPN; and I don't believe for a millisecond that you objectively disagree with that fact.

There's definitely still a subculture of people who look for things AI can't do yet, and try to parlay that into evidence AI can't do much at all; just like there's Flat Earthers who're similarly dedicated to a caus

0.0001% of investors did NFTs. 99.999% of devs do LLMs.

by quantadev 1y ago
Yeah, I did't think you ever genuinely believed RPN is easier than LISP.
84.
by quantadev 1y ago
If someone's not using LLMs yet in 2025 to write code they're basically Amish. They're riding a horse in the age of automobiles, just because they think they're more comfortable on horseback, while they've never bee

Since DSLs are necessarily niche, you're never going to have much training data in that language to feed into LLM training. Sure this problem can be overcome, but you're just creating more work than the time saved by having humans

by quantadev 1y ago
> DSLs look like noise Exactly right. Now that we're in the era of LLMs and Coding Agents it's never been more clear that DSLs should be avoided; because LLMs cannot reason about them as well as popular languages, and that&#x27

by quantadev 1y ago
Because no coder in 2025 still says LLMs can't code.

> RPN is every bit as easy [as LISP] Riddle me this then: When editing code full of parentheticals, why do devs find it helpful that IDEs can find and highlight the matching opening/closing parenthesis automatically? I mean, based o

Yes, by "the shape of spacetime" that refers to every specific location in spacetime having a specific shape associated to it. It you want to expand your view out across a range of space and/or time, yes you can see waves, bu

by quantadev 1y ago
You can disprove my statement by naming something gravity does other than add a shape to spacetime, if you want. Saying "I think you're probably wrong, but I just can't say why" is not an argument.
