I used Cursor and Chat GPT 5 last night for the first time. Before I could even ask Chat GPT 5 about my issue it had scanned the .cpp file in question (because it was open in the editor) and had discovered some possible issues, one of which

I have something that both Gemini (via GCA) and CoPilot (Claude) analyzed and came up withe the same diagnosis. Each of them made the exact same wrong solution, and when I pointed that out, got further wrong. I haven't tried Chat GPT o

I think we are careless in how we use terms. We often say "intelligence" where me mean "sentience". We have studied intelligence for a long time and we have IQ tests that can measure it. The various LLMs (like Chat GP

I always had my reservations about the whole AGI thing. And while I'm mightily impressed by Chat-GPT and friends, it's even clearer to me that AGI is not, and will never be, an emergent property of LLM, no matter how large the neu

If this were aimed at Polymarket and their betting activities, then their lawyers would be getting subpoenas and the like, and a raid on their president would most likely be in concert with raids on their offices. AFAICT, it was only his pe

It can be difficult to explain why Lisp is so great to non-Lisp programmers. For Lisp, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

I think the "winners game" vs. "losers game" insight is interesting and there is some value in applying it to software development. But I don't see it as a revolutionary insight, anything that's going to radica

A very important aspect that Parry and Murko uncovered is that _music_ was the thing that helped them memorize these incredibly long works. The guslari played a one string "gusle" (iirc) and recited the work along with a song. Som

This is very exciting. The growth from Eve 0 to Eve 0.2 is remarkable - it's clear you have not been afraid of starting over as you've made realizations.

Falsebook. On one day one of my relatives shared a completely false meme about Obama. And a day later a different relative shared a completely false one about Palin. What kind of discourse can we have where all these lies just get propagat

I read the article and thought a lot about it, but I'm not buying it. The acceptance problems for Lisp haven't been because it is "too powerful" or that lone wolf hackers won't work together. The author makes an exa

I like it. The Dafny annotations seem straightforward and approachable. Anyone know of a similar system for Javascript?

All these accusations of the cover-up seem to imply that it was just to "delay" the release. That's certainly bad. But it seems to me that the had _no_ intention of ever releasing the videos, of ever charging the officer. The

This is an issue that people are only recently getting a grip on. In isolation all these cases seem arbitrary and not targeted. And, absent any overt action, it can seem difficult to ascribe racism. Additionally the court system has made i

You are supporting cmontellas point, not negating it. His point is that the inherent complexity of the problem is fairly trivial, and he stated it concisely. And you are correctly pointing out that to realize the solution to the problem re

Nice work, Colombia. I hope that others follow suit. And maybe the awareness around this issue will then lead to a discussion of the high human cost of the War on Drugs, the greatest burden borne by our citizens of color. And maybe that wi
