When I was younger, I was in Berlin and wandered unannounced into the Chaos Computer Club and I met Tim there. What a legend. The whole club is legendary. We need more of their spirit of the art of the possible and irreverent. Life is for t

Yes. I have so many stats texts and like many technical fields I suspect they are written as if we learn how things were derived historically not how they truly are.

It’s more likely that they have llms supervising llms in training and therefore the quality has dropped like a picture of a photograph. If opus has high signal thinking it would be able to write a fsm but it’s been a month of me trying wher

I'm still traumatized from Space Quest I because I didn't grab a broken glass from the windshield of our crashed spaceship before entering the cave with the laser. It's been 40 years. I vote wkfauna for President.

I'm sorry you're getting the lash end of the whip. The rage against the (literal) machine is very high right now. I appreciate you sharing your creativity, and frankly, I am taking notes on what you've built for a related but

From a computer science point of view, it's the same argument as why NP-complete problems are hard to solve, and easy to check. From a practical point of view, however, it's the same argument we write unit and integration tests. W

Dear Abby, I am torn. I have fallen in love with vibe coding but I still am in love with the software I’ve used for decades that works reliably. Vibe coding gives me what I need and want right now. Its fast. Fun. Always makes me feel valida

I have a similar question. I think most software projects have reached the point that the speed of capturing real information about what the winner's circle looks like, and therefore what the program should be, so many magnitudes slowe

The current algorithms have a limited context window and work linearly and are extremely expensive to change and energy intensive to run. The human brain has a wide parallel multisystem real-time low-wattage execution layer that has way mor

Humans have hard skills and abilities the ais can’t reproduce yet like real time learning, spatial reasoning, cheap parallelism, Qualia so we can identity QWAN (quality without a name) because we feel in real time what the code is. AIs have

Exactly. There is only an arms race, which is escalating costs. Eventually it breaks and we use social means to manage it, surrender the digital space, or accept the artificial nature of the digital realm.

It’s more likely people will embrace artifice more. We already see that everywhere for the last 5 decades. However in domains where human verification matters it’s just a matter of an arms race, true.

Think about it from an information theory point of view. You need to attach a digital transaction to human body. Since a human body isn’t digital you need a gateway that you can trust to vouch for that human body being present. Either you u

True, in May 2026. But this is only one version of this. In the future, it's likely the open Internet will be 99.99% robots. It's already > 50% robots. The government ID system a lot of countries are adopting to keep teenagers

Dubious. We will just see logical vs physical space once again and move on with our lives. I think we are already mostly there as a society. I don’t know why this is a block in philosophy let alone computer science. We experience it frequen

No, it's still a problem. The reserve currency just raises the headroom by something like 20 points by making cost of borrowing lower than it would be otherwise. There is no free lunch, just subsidized lunch.

I have a text book called Hamlet on the Holodeck about how the machines could take imagination to greater heights. Now it’s all about dopamine. Lower gutters. Humans never change so I have hope things will correct and we dream again.

One is a cybernetic system. It has sensors, a controller, a decision system, goals, and actuators. Arguably it's alive, but I think the definition of cybernetics is sufficient because it's objective.

For someone paying nothing for something that costs nothing, you have way more than nothing to complain about. Not appropriate.
