It ends like this: all codebases become unmaintainable spaghetti after agentic AI spends years on it. Then after every agent in existence will spend minimum 24 hours reading the codebase to add a simple feature, the software is abandoned.

I code mostly in APL and J. It’s much faster to type the code than explain everything to AI.

Maybe that’s the only category that can make a profit here?

Teaching is about moving our knowledge (the stuff we’ve collectively learned ourselves, from others and our parents [instead of everyone needing to find out on their own]) to the next generation. While some skills may become obsolete in som

I think assigning coding tasks to AI is a sort of literate programming without the programming part.

My kid went to brain MRI because of migraines (standard procedure here for kids to check if there is e.g. a tumor causing the headache). I was pretty nervous due to this kind of research and the preparatory material saying that they might n

I am donating my other kidney to a child (1 year old with nephrosis). In any case he is living the rest of his life with this condition. I am doing this to minimize the risk of rejection during childhood. There are living people with this c

Great! I am also about to donate my other kidney. The difference in the long term outcome of the patient between living and dead donation is significant enough for me to go through this. My total kidney function will drop to 50% and I will

Perhaps you then consider donating your kidney?

This "buffer zone" demand is much older than 30+ years. Putin wants another Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to invade his neighbors, to be called 'Putin the Conqueror'. Everything we see are his ambitions to rewrite history. He

Take a random group of students from the general population and one of those examples (Edit: or any single given example whatsoeve). Turns out 95% are not really interested. Edit 2: The teacher probably gave some example from biology or som

What makes you think so? I quickly skimmed through and found nothing of the sort. Edit: My take home message was that there is an equivalent higher order formulation which allows more structure and might be theoretically interesting. Usuall

I assume that the classical exposition to fluid mechanics uses newtonian concepts, mainly forces.

It is important for the children to learn about different feelings, their control, and so on. This is not an excuse to use anger to control kids but I think you shouldn't avoid it at all costs or you will burn out or lose faith in huma

I force my students to turn in handwritten math homework (two problems per week), mainly because I want them to practice for the exam and we don't have another system scaling (easily) up to 300+ exam goers. Recently I have seen more di
