I loved this article and its interactive elements. The potential field is an elegant abstraction which really elevates this from a math puzzle into something new. I'd love to see just how Lipschitz continuous, how smooth, the potenti

Nice! I wanted to share a link to Ripple Effect Hard with my time (23:47), but it seems the URL only captures attempts, so there's no real way to link to the puzzle itself. Might be useful to - add a wordle-style 'SHARE' butt

This project is essentially "give me some metadata & a command which takes env $PORT, and I'll handle the rest". Which is neat! I am also sick of handling port numbers - I end up allocating them on a schema to different s

I thought so too at first. It is definitely something interfaced on top of Tauri[0] with some sort of 'server-side logic' framework[1]. But looking at Tauri's site, it is really hard to disentangle if PyWry is a binder about

Reports being weaponised is a big issue with asymmetric (report-only) systems, but at least here there seems to be a “report as not slop” button. “Symmetric” user reporting is dearly needed in some websites; as you say something can be mass

If every website needed verification, why not simply move the verification to the device or ISP level? This seems like an authoritative move to track users across websites, and another good reason to keep using a VPN. Certainly a terrifying

I prefer to default to `develop` and then eventually branch out to `release`: that way my branch names are pretty explicit. It seemed silly to me to start with a "central" branch, no matter the wording, because that's not act

"Good deed math" feels like it drives legitimacy from some intrinsic sense of 'goodness', which to my ken looks de-emphasised in Franklin's model. Each act is a deed unto itself: a good deed and a bad deed do not co

This is fascinating, but the title and URL might be better if they're of the article this links through to rather than a discussion: "Fantasy or faith? One company's AI-generated Bible content stirs controversy" https:&

I found this article while making my way about Wikipedia (as you do). It's ice that burns: cages of water trapping methane, and indeed the largest non-atmospheric store of it on earth. It forms interesting fractals under a microscope,

I took a brief gander at its code [0] and saw it mainly focusses on k-means clustering algorithms (in JS, no less). To my ken this is likely for suggesting new tabs, something a user is even less likely to use than renaming them. Its cons

Having just taken an IQ test out of curiosity, they strike me as testing very little beyond the ability to pattern recognise and extrapolate. Having pattern recognised and extrapolated to my perception of the wealth-happiness curve, it seem

LLMs by their nature are good at word or concept association. Cohesiveness in length is where they begin to break down. I tend to liken them to very drunken scholars. They know things, usually at about a Wikipedia level, and they’re cheery

It sounds likely to be a language in the Tamil-Kannada family (as these are the major languages of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively). There were a great number of Vijayanagara-era migrations, but sadly the South Dravidian languages hav

The irony is that the plan was either to - somehow, incomprehensibly, vet all 3 million responses - which would at minimum cost $10m - feed it as training data into some LLM, which would almost certainly make tens of thousands of mistakes a

"Tory-lite" is a pejorative for Labour, the implication being that they are almost identical in behaviour. (I very much agree with the sentiment...)

I don't use PowerShell often at all, but this IMO is one thing it gets right, by piping .NET objects and implicitly piping to `Out-Default` at the end. Of course this is another standard that tools would have to be incredibly careful t

Anecdotally the Python tool seemed to indicate for me a 0 for a dependency which was up to date (but hadn't been updated in a good year at the very least). A more accurate (but more unwieldy to measure) metric would be to count the lin
