Abstractions are a way to manage complexity - hiding things is only one way to do that. Deciding how to organize it, when and how to expose it, and when to get out of the way, are …

Good question - and there's been lots of work on this area. See for example property testing and fuzz testing, which can do something similar to what your second paragraph suggests…

Paint didn't replace charcoal. Photography didn't replace drawings. Digital art didn't replace physical media. Random game level generation didn't replace architecture. AI generate…

Elm's strengths are its constraints, which allow for simple, readable code that's easy to test and reason about - partly because libraries are also guaranteed to work within those …

Agreed. I've run the house using google minis and assistant for years now, and asking assistant to do / about stuff has not improved one iota in that time and has introduced severa…

I work with the regulated drug development industry, and believe there is a useful and important distinction between Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA). I wonder if pe…

I just typed in "6 minutes and 55 second" in the youtube search and someone had posted a video called "6 minutes and 55 seconds of X"

That's exactly how I start every morning. Now I'll just imagine myself as an emerging super-intelligence!

> It's another reason not to expect AI to be "like humans". Agreed. I think the adaptive noise filter is going to be the really tricky part. The fact that we have a limited, fading…

I guess that assumes AGI's emotional intelligence scales with processing power. What if it instead over-thinks things by multiples of billions and we get this super neurotic, touch…

Oh, they are paid. According to the contract they take various types of payment ranging from: Sunday mornings drinking bad wine, tithes all the way to lifelong celibacy and blood s…

Here in Canada that's what we called John Player Specials. Black and gold. To go with your tux.

Having said that... as I play with it more, I really like the UI. If there was a privacy-first option I would definitely use it.

For me, never. For most of the other people in my life, they are primarily searching for products, books, people, and ideas for recipes or various projects around the home. So I to…

As impressive as this regime is if you can do it, I'd recommend most people start a little slower and mix it up a little more - this kind of highly repetitive strain will burn out …
