After using frontier models it’s hard to understand why anyone would think this is the path to AGI. Self improving models will likely have limited ability and returns. There may be breakthroughs that enable more general self improvement but

Wow I've never thought about listening to music I like before?????

This seems focused on one very particular taste in music of droning semi-random lo-fi synthesizers. I find this unlistenable without any kind of percussion.

Decades of science show it’s beneficial, and we keep seeing the outcomes validated in practice. Calgary removed fluoride from drinking water, saw a significant increase in dental carries in children, and is adding it back. [1] Hawaii does n

Bluesky is currently a terrible product with a paltry number of users. The small dev team can’t compete with social media platform features. React Native means bad mobile UX.

I believe the Bluesky experiment is already over, and it was not successful. 1. Bluesky was advertised as a very open, resilient platform because of AT, impossible to fully censor, with moderation at the user level, not platform level. In r

Idiomatic Go is using shortened variable names, not what's in this article. I thought that was common knowledge and part of the Go ethos? I also wouldn't consider grammar in comments part of the language idioms? This is an unusual

I don’t know what your intentions or hypothesis are, but this is a dangerous place to be a novice in. Eye health is misunderstood and most people are ignorant of the basics. If you don’t know what emmetropization is, if you don’t know who B

It’s very telling that most of the comments on the article are about Bell Labs, almost none of the comments are about the article. Few have actually read it! The writing is terrible and verbose.

I don't understand the "Requirements Met" section, that reasoning applies to almost any programming language. You chose Common Lisp because there's a JSON library?

I would add "Domain Driven Design" - locking your business design in place by trying to make your application match your business structure is a recipe for disaster. If you have a small or stagnant business you probably won't
