where's it mentioned on that link? I can't seem to find hallucinations (don't worry found it). Yes, sometimes its wrong, most times its right, cross checking is fairly easy, not us…

These animations are great. I have learnt so many things from LLM's, cross checking things is easy enough, but the hallucinations are really not much of a thing any more (in my exp…

> The state needs to use AI to make bureaucracy instantaneous The stuff of many sci fi tropes - it seldom ends well. A bit OT but there's a character in a couple of frank Herbert b…

My side project so that I can get out of here

Very cool, did you suggest Rust/Bevy? Claude is always recommending it to me as an exemplar, it does seem nice but moving to rust would be a project. I wonder how it gets these ide…

an SEP - somebody else's problem

There's an xkcd for everything, I wonder if there's an xkcd for that?

interesting, probably has something to do with why some people like pair programming. I'm in the visio-spatial-tacit and refuse pair programming because its so much work, but all t…

"why do neural networks work better than other models?" That sounds really interesting - any references (for a non specialist)?

If you dive into Analysis (the underlying theory behind calculus) this book - "How to Think About Analysis" by Lara Alcock is the book I wish I had when I studied it. Calculus by S…

with vampires!

+1 for Stross, Egan and the Bobiverse - I haven't read the others so will have a look, just wanted to add Stand on Zanzibar by Brunner, if the Bobiverse is there then MurderBot sho…

I find myself worrying the AI bubble will pop and we'll lose this aspect of AI's without it ever being properly explored. Instead of doomscrolling now I find myself firing up claud…

Maybe OT - I find Claude Code hit or miss, I spend a lot of time removing dumb code or asking Claude to remove it eg "why do you have a separate..." Claude: "Good catch — there's n…
