For a brief moment I thought this is about the game Rune[1] and got excited as I have played that a lot when growing up. Alas, that wasn’t it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune_(video_game)

I haven't read GEB (yet), but I'd say I do feel there's a difference between the original formulation of Lucas and the extensions that Penrose provide. At this stage I can't say whether I'd agree with Hofstadter or

A short disclaimer before answering. Right now I'm doing a Mathematics & Physics undergrad degree and have interest in philosophy. I'm not a specialist in any of those fields. I have plans to tackle the actual math around LLM&

Scott Aaronson mentions Penrose's "The Emperor's New Mind", but I feel "Shadows of the Mind" is putting forward a much clearer view of Penrose's thesis. At the current stage of my life I'm quite comfo

This is like when Eric Weinstein went on Rogan and told him and Jamie about https://pullthatupjamie.com as if he wasn't involved with that at all... Edit: typos

Was about to say the same thing. The amount of training code for LLM's that exists in C++ is probably orders of magnitude more than any other "challenger" languages combined. Love it or hate it C++ is here to stay.

Simple. I use my brain and write code without coding agents.

I have the utmost respect for Casey, but his disdain for Stroustrup is unfounded. The fact of the matter is C++ occupied a niche in the right place and at the right time, and it grew from there. Many mistakes have been made, but Stroustrup

I'm doing a degree (part-time) in Mathematics and Physics to get away from AI crap and challenge myself now in my early 30's. The client I work for now has deemed us "AI first"... Even though the back-end work and optimi

Citing blitz.bg... That's like citing a soiled piece of toilet paper found in a public bathroom. We can all cherry pick "facts", but history requires context. Your replies are all in bad faith. I'm done with this "d

I don't know if you're willfully ignorant or actively spreading misinformation, but the USSR seized Bulgaria's gold reserves after the war and the following coup. They also seized the national archives, which are still not re

Glagolitic was created by Cyril and Methodius which was the precursor for Cyrillic. Whether they were Greek or Bulgarian is still in contention, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that Cyrillic itself was created later by student

It's sad to see that the sane opinion is so heavily downvoted. LSP as a protocol is fine, but the actual technical implementation of JSON RPC is braindead. Only web devs that don't know anything about native code could devise such

I love C++ for the power it gives me, but boy do I hate reading C++ code. I know most of these things are for historical reasons and/or done because of parser compatibilities etc. but it's still a pain.

Two intelligence assets talking to each other. Both have quite similar backgrounds with dubious credentials. A history of lying and obfuscation. I wouldn't trust anything Fridman or Durov say.

I'm pretty sure the author hasn't actually followed his own advice. Also, the writing style was atrocious. I wouldn't trust anything said. Seems like the type of post he wrote for himself (nothing wrong with that), but I don&

I think as with everything related to learning if you're conscientious and studious this will be a major boost (no idea, but I plan on trying it out tonight on some math I've been studying). And likewise if you just use it to do y

Until that same AI starts shilling ads and certain viewpoints peddled by their owners in the output... This will happen 100% (ads, the other bit has already happened). The economics of all of these models doesn't work as is. There will

It's true for EU and UK. You're protected and have more rights as a worker, but generally HR (in my experience) is definitely not considered your friend in most matters.
