    My comment is about MUMPS, not a specific edition of thereof. A language is inseparable from its community. The opportunity cost of working with MUMPS is enormous, particularly for…

    Another organism that survives pasteurization is paratuberculosis, in milk. It is commonly found in commercial dairy herds. In my opinion, this is alarming. Many consider it to be …

    What part of placing a human in the loop requires telling that human what they’re approving, or even that they are approving something? Pressing a button could be as simple as foll…

    Historical precedent: Quickselect, or any other discovery of a surprising algorithmic speed-up. LLMs haven’t been on the scene for very long. There’s still lots of room for efficie…
