Do you have any evidence for this claim, or are you just making it up?

Microsoft stole my copy of Minecraft. I had bought Minecraft before Microsoft bought Mojang, and eventually I was forced to migrate my Minecraft license to a Microsoft account. After I had successfully created the account, logged in, and tr

I'm glad I'm not going insane... I have also noticed this with Sonnet, funnily enough - it's not as strong, but it's still there. But yeah, I haven't seen this with any other model so far (although I mostly use th

I don't think it's particularly effective to create a new coding agent when there's existing open-source agents (especially extremely extensible ones like Pi) that already optimize for cache hits, have far larger communities,

I'd generally agree about Deepseek being as good as Sonnet - but I have extreme trouble with prompt compliance with V4 Pro in a way that I've never had with Sonnet. I'll tell it "find the bug, but don't fix it"

As someone who loves Lisps, I still have to disagree on the value of the s-expression syntax. I think that sexps are very beautiful, easy to parse, and easy to remember, but I think that overall they're less useful than Algol-like synt

The GP is factually wrong. There's plenty of empirical evidence to indicate that language influences thought, and that syntax is therefore important. Although, I would point out that while your argument ad absurdum is generally reaso

Forget handwriting - I rarely see anything with as much care and effort put into it as this project. I like to think that I put a lot of ~~craftmanship~~ into my code, but the effort put into every single letter of a roughly fifteen-thous

No-cloning theorem applies to logical qubits too! That "30% of errors" doesn't allow you to read out the logical state. Information is physical.

> A lot of the reason why Lispers may be averse to static types is because of the perceived inflexibility it can induce into the system. This perceived inflexibility is what my comment was getting at - that for primitive type systems a

For Common Lispers such as myself, who are vaguely aware of developments in the Scheme space: the most important difference between CRUNCH and Chicken appears to be that, while both compile down to C/object code, CRUNCH is additionally

Thanks for the response! Are there any resources on learning to design simpler layout systems (like flexbox + any other important parts) without having to adjust the design to compensate for older systems (e.g. if you were to try to imple

Layout is so difficult that it made me quit using Common Lisp and ncurses to build my passion project and become the very thing I swore to destroy (a React developer). I can't be the only one who wants a simpler layout language than CS

This is super neat - SBCL is an awesome language implementation, and I've always wanted to do CL development for a "real" game console. I'm also surprised (in a good way) that Shinmera is working on this - I've seen

I'm currently very slowly making my way through Geometric Algebra for Physicists by Doran and Lasenby. The book is a delight to read, but I'm not a mathematician, and this article is showing me that my small amount of understa

I've tried to get multiple non-family members set up with Linux and have failed, with constant bugs from Linux, and confusion from the family members. Windows is far more reliable and easier for them to use. This clearly invalidates

This seems like a reasonable take - there's only one problem: you haven't told us how to draw the rest of the owl. How does one learn how to (1) think in this way (which necessitates not only abstract description but multiple co

This is classic goal-post moving - you started out by saying that Intellij was faster than VSCode, then after a commentator said that their experience was the opposite, you moved the goal-post to "well it doesn't matter". You

How might a quantum computer help? I was under the impression that there are only two quantum algorithms that are concretely known to provide exponential speedups for interesting problems relative to known classical state-of-the-art, and ne

This is really interesting to me because it implies that shallow breathing for long periods of time is a bad thing. I previously assumed that it was a good thing, due to interpolation from martial arts training - breathing exercises -> b
