It ends like this: all codebases become unmaintainable spaghetti after agentic AI spends years on it. Then after every agent in existence will spend minimum 24 hours reading the co…

I code mostly in APL and J. It’s much faster to type the code than explain everything to AI.

Maybe that’s the only category that can make a profit here?

Teaching is about moving our knowledge (the stuff we’ve collectively learned ourselves, from others and our parents [instead of everyone needing to find out on their own]) to the n…

I think assigning coding tasks to AI is a sort of literate programming without the programming part.

My kid went to brain MRI because of migraines (standard procedure here for kids to check if there is e.g. a tumor causing the headache). I was pretty nervous due to this kind of re…

In mechanics simulations we often change the units to avoid adding small and large floats.

Everyone needs to have AI to do some minor modification in Excel file?

I am donating my other kidney to a child (1 year old with nephrosis). In any case he is living the rest of his life with this condition. I am doing this to minimize the risk of rej…

Great! I am also about to donate my other kidney. The difference in the long term outcome of the patient between living and dead donation is significant enough for me to go through…

Perhaps you then consider donating your kidney?

There seems to be a function to generate a feed based on the posts of the people you are following.

Do you prefer that kids don’t learn anything?

Espresso/cappuccino usage will increase cholesterol in blood. Consider drinking filtered coffee instead.

This "buffer zone" demand is much older than 30+ years. Putin wants another Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to invade his neighbors, to be called 'Putin the Conqueror'. Everything we see a…

Take a random group of students from the general population and one of those examples (Edit: or any single given example whatsoeve). Turns out 95% are not really interested. Edit 2…

What makes you think so? I quickly skimmed through and found nothing of the sort. Edit: My take home message was that there is an equivalent higher order formulation which allows m…

I assume that the classical exposition to fluid mechanics uses newtonian concepts, mainly forces.

It is important for the children to learn about different feelings, their control, and so on. This is not an excuse to use anger to control kids but I think you shouldn't avoid it …

Is there a benefit in using GPL for text editors?

I force my students to turn in handwritten math homework (two problems per week), mainly because I want them to practice for the exam and we don't have another system scaling (easi…
