Is anyone doing something like using LLMs to generate Prolog (or Cyc, or some appropriately complex, brittle knowledge representation GOFAI)?

Every time I think "oh Jean-Yves Girard". Besides being perhaps the logician of note of the 20th century (against considerable "competition"), he's become an important philosopher …

I mean, putting a bullet to someone's head can extirpate a brain tumor they hadn't been alerted to before, while leaving a grateful person owing you kudos. What if?

There's some point in which good faith rules apply, probably even in court (although not decisively). Presumably Redis Labs works with the developer community and, critically, prom…

The interesting tidbit here is that congresspeople, both leaders and small fry types, were parroting a line that went "if we don't pass this censorship law, the Supreme Court is go…

I think people are annoyed about the idea of having to know R, Python and Julia. So we stick to our guns with Python even if Julia is possibly better. Heck, if I'm ever learning an…

Are they comfortable in warmer weather though.

This is exaggeratedly mean. I can sort of correlate this, well, expression, with a political view. State it more crisply.

Eh. If you get ahold of a bucket of true geniuses, best thing you can do is not even give them goals and just feed them until Nobel prize/Manhattan Project level work surfaces. As …

Man, I was expecting constraint linear programming.

Debt is one of those "gradually, then suddenly" things.

I wrote a Python script (it's so shoddy and easy to recreate I won't even share) that will (1) look for definitions as words/expressions between asterisks (2) look for dependencies…

A toast to dang's health.

Someone else will be able to give a scientific explanation, but the sun is just different at heights. I used to have famiy both in La Paz and Quito and just 15 days in one of those…
