    What is also lower is your understanding of the change. So yes, if you are now essentially only doing the final mile of paper pushing for the LLM, then the mental burden is lower b…

    No, by saying this, I am not downplaying Einstein's sizeable achievements nor trying to imply everyone was wrong about him. His was an impressive breadth of knowledge and mathemati…

    No, that's a completely different concept, because we have faultless machines which perfectly and deterministically translate high-level code into byte-level machine code. This is …

    This is essentially a group theoretical result about permutation groups. Would be nice to see a treatment from this angle.

    And yet the categorical concepts in Hask are undoubtedly practically useful, more so than an arbitrary sample of concepts, and compose extraordinarily well. Does that have nothing …

    How do you discover the principles in the first place? You can discover them once and then apply them in all applicable places precisely because you generalised them. You have a po…

    It's not a "lost" key if it's found hardcoded in an easily available place (e.g. an application). It's a negligently placed key leading to a vulnerable place that is going to get i…
