Are any of ChatGPT's statements erroneous? (how come Terence Tao gets this high quality output but I get hallucinations when I ask simpler math stuff?)

That doesn't mean it's more readable. This retro-terminal-website trend is so weird. When I was growing up, all the computers had was a fixed-width character set. Then GUI operating systems came out in the early 90s and PDFs and w

Confused here. Are you talking about the execution speed of the compiler's output, or the compilation time itself? Java's compiler is extremely fast, compared to a C compiler. (I haven't used Rust or Zig so I don't have

I think there is a loose connection. Hofstadter's 1979 masterpiece, Gödel Escher Bach ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach --- mentioned in an earlier reply), has a chapter called Contracrostipu

Even crypto isn't that large: 2^4096 is kind of the norm here. Some mathematical researchers are working in the million, billion, or even trillion-bit range.

I get it, but I don't think we should remain silent within the community. Norms for websites are important to cultivate.

I agree mental health is important and have struggled with similar issues... but it is hard to read prose in fixed-width typefaces. Please consider a more readable serif variable-width typeface.

Darn, I meant to link to https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2025-09-11... which is easier to read because of the typeface.

I want it to commit on my behalf, and I don't pay full attention before commits. But I do review every line at the PR level, just as I would if some other human were to submit a PR, and if I find something off, then I ask it to fix it

Really interesting article but there's one thing I wanted to point out about the reasons for code review: > If a company were shipping bugs at, say, a hundredth the rate we were at Centaur while relying primarily on review to catch

Really liked it, and somewhat envious that you were able to create such a well-written, cohesive piece of just about the right length. (I blog on different topics and it's so hard to keep things short and not wandering.)
