I suspect that beyond just marketing, these pursuits yield plenty of useful information about model design that will likely lead to model improvements and optimizations for both mathematics and general reasoning going forward.

A couple years ago I wrote a rough CLI based proof-of-concept of a different form of 3D Sudoku. Funny enough, just this morning I was thinking about using Claude to turn it into something actually playable.

Voting is a massively multiplayer game, not an individual sport. If you want to protest, please do it. But throwing away your vote is not a protest, it’s a method of ceding a small amount of power.

Yeah, async/await in JavaScript is syntactic sugar for promises.

The news is virtually never important enough. And my definition of “important enough” is “actionable”. There’s a pervasive idea, mostly among more educated people, that keeping up with political news is civic minded and responsible. I’m not

“But I can customise EMACS endlessly, why would I use an actual IDE?” There’s no need to bring religion into this.

I thought I was the only one who realized how much Claude called things “load bearing”. I’ve mentioned it to colleagues and they hadn’t noticed.

I once worked as a contractor at a startup whose CEO had little trophies on display in a wall case showing off funding rounds for previous startups. There were like 3 employees and 15 contractors, and he had one of the contractors give a sp

It’s “censorship” when he gets downvoted for extreme right wing commentary, like supporting the complete elimination of USAID for one example.

Good times indeed. Similar to you, my first Linux install was MkLinux on a PowerMac 7100. And I had completely forgotten about the mouse button issue until you mentioned it. I vaguely recall somehow attaching a 3-button PC serial mouse and

The article failed to describe the problem or a solution. But it was fun seeing the phrase “paradigm shift” again, which feels very 1998.

I once wrote a Xbox 360 indie game that would crash only in unusual situations due to stack overflow. The game involved essentially gluing together balls, and it would detect if the balls surrounded something. I used recursive DFS to check

I can imagine it! It should be called the Imagine Phone, or iPhone for short.

My local bowling alley charges $130 for shoes and 1 hour of bowling for 4 people off-peak. That scales up to $220 peak rates (e.g. Saturday night). It’s in the middle of a major city so it’s a different market of course, but the pricing dif

This type of remastering (and remixing) has been happening for a while now. Lots of newer releases of classic albums of the CD era have remasters with less compression. Pretty Hate Machine, American Idiot, Absolution (Muse)…

I thought the same. Possibly because I recently wrote a compiler/interpreter for the Action! language. Not terribly useful in its current state, but most of the language is supported. https://github.com/mypalmike/R

Though I used it for 2 years of it as my primary language at work, I never quite got used to Ruby's quirky idioms like this. It just reads badly to me, in terms of quickly understanding code flow, to have statements that start with &qu

It seems unlikely to be a cgnat issue since the phone uses WiFi rather than cellular networks (where cgnat is most commonly found).

You are describing selective breeding. GMO is different. It involves the laboratory isolation of genes, and techniques to introduce said genes into an organism such that its DNA is altered. These technique do include gene splicing. Golden r

NMS systems are useful for monitoring large networks where something is likely to fail due to sheer quantity of devices/interfaces. Visualization is secondary to state capture and alerting.

Most games were primarily C. 3D performance came from the graphics hardware, which had straightforward C APIs and dedicated texture RAM. The machine lacked a floating point processor, so I think we wrote some fixed point math routines in as

That was precisely the goal of many high level languages.
