I'm working on a Python rewrite of Anacreon: Reconstruction 4021.

If you want to create an AI that will be better at _teaching_ and not just answering questions, you may want to talk to a human teacher about their process. "Pedagogy" is the term …

This stood out to me as a little concerning: > The model hallucinates factual claims slightly more than Opus 4.8, despite being more accurate overall.

That's pretty cool. The phrase "3D-printed engine" stuck out to me as neat, too.

You seem to be suffering from the misconception that text-only is a _bad_ thing.

I have only ever seen the 1950s Ivanhoe film and part of a... I think it was a 1990s TV miniseries. I'll have to watch this.

What kinds of project would Odin be best suited for, as compared to, say, Rust or Go?

The author mentions SubSpace (the computer game, from the 90s), and the limited pixel budget for player banners in it. It would be interesting to see if you could run a pared-down …

Did you read the article? The author goes into several applications beyond just that.

I'm glad you've built something that works for you! Keep at it. Experiment, don't just leave it the same way it is now.

Zettlr would like a word.

I would say yes, because the physics of rolling two objects is slightly different than one object. I don't have any idea, though, if that would affect the distribution of numbers r…

However it came to the "knowledge," I'm glad it had it! Seeing as I know almost nothing about reverse engineering, in this case, an LLM was a great tool in solving the problem. Yes…

In theory, governments have the ability to curtail the activity of corporations. Are you challenging that idea?
