I'm sure this is fine, and there is no reason to be concerned that the same very rich person is behind this device as the AI technology whose worst outcomes it exists to combat. Also there's a blockchain so that's great! I kn

The course I did at uni, decades ago now, set us a Prolog assessment where we were not allowed to use the cut operator. Code that backtracks is hard to reason about.

It's actually pretty concise: Prolog isn't all that easy! That's why people don't use it. Competent CS students fail Prolog courses all the time. A lot of Prolog on the internet will either be wrong, or it will be so rid

Because Prolog is difficult, and expressing fuzzy real-world facts and nuances in it is harder.

I know we're not supposed to comment on downvotes but I really question the logic of anyone who thinks that a thing that cannot reason can write a prolog program that is really going to be much more successful. Prolog is actually prett

This is magical thinking. If an LLM can’t reason it isn’t going to be able to express itself clearly in Prolog. Suggesting otherwise is intellectually on the same level as trying to make up a small consistent per-sale loss with volume.

It's not universal but some of this stuff seemingly stems from the framework level -- Gtk and Qt. For example, QGIS and FreeCAD are very good indeed on the Mac, and the quirky problems FreeCAD has on the Mac are generally Qt problems (

Exactly this. It's obvious that generative AI content is bad for search and indexing, and I wish more people would learn to extrapolate from the forms of the problem that already exist, that the quality of the generated content is no

It can open Affinity Designer files!? That’s something of a buried lede. That could make the path from Designer to FreeCAD a bit easier; FreeCAD still has something of a special relationship with Inkscape SVG files.

Right. WordPress is Windows for the Web, basically. More enjoyable to develop for, IMO, but otherwise the comparison holds. I would add that other PHP-based projects have had severe maintainability crises, poorer clarity of design, even wor

Airbnb has in fact ruined communities and destroyed the dream of home ownership for an entire class of people: those who would already be buying at the limits of their budgets to stay where they were brought up. This happened even in area

If it is hosting-related, rather than WordPress-related, then are there not other structurally similar PHP CMSes and tools (Drupal, Backdrop, Magento, PrestaShop, Grav, Monica, maybe InvoiceNinja [0]) you could add plugin-based support for?
