Memories, many memories. I remember the endless nights playing Quake on dial-up, 190 ms ping, listening to Nirvana. There are still people playing on some servers, and the challenge is higher than ever. Although I still have the reflexes, t

This is something I have been thinking about for quite a while. I readily embrace the advances AI may bring to mathematics and the hard sciences, but those advances were largely expected even predictable. What I had hoped for was something

Do you have a background in CS or optimization? MILP is a pretty standard concept in algorithms/optimization. So this example doesn't really convince me that the AI reached some unusually superior conclusion. It sounds more like i

"Neurotypical" is the more current and precise term when discussing human behavior, cognition, or neurodevelopment. "Normal" is vague, value-loaded, and scientifically weaker because it implies that neurodivergent people

Sometimes something really is lost when people stop paying attention to the origins of a recipe. It is well known that Nestlé, through advertising campaigns and sponsored cookbooks, introduced its condensed milk into many traditional Brazil

#3 is the old school hacker, "a high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die" :-)

If it was a school teacher people would surreptitiously dismiss it as "coping". People would dismiss it anyway, being it Woz or a teacher. Maybe people are somehow dismissing his opinion because it contradicts the entrepreneurial

I don't know. It's like Frankenstein's monster reading The Sorrows of Young Werther. He could somewhat understand what the words meant, but he couldn't ever feel what was being described. Even if the monster could write

No, they don't. Well, not the ones I read. Philosophers have been cheerleading science since Kant.

> If scientists had the slightest bit of societal power, our response to climate change wouldn't be this shameful Why? Scientists are still human beings, they have partake in torture and genocide in the past. "I aim at the star

Picasso painted Man in a Beret when he was 14 years old. His art became "nonsense" because realism was boring for him.

Maybe AI can function as a mediator/conciliator in the future, perhaps showing us with irrefutable logic that cooperation can be a better path for humanity. Geez, I'm wishing for a machine deity that will watch over us. Would that

A painting or story made by artificial intelligence is not human because it does not have a life story behind it. I still enjoy reading the artist's biography, some of his correspondence, trying to understand his creative process. If y

All the criticisms I see directed at ChatGPT are met with "the web already sucks". So what revolution awaits us? I just think we're getting closer and closer to a boring dystopia.
