I am going through the same struggle but with software development.

Check out Luanti. My son pulled off his own multiplayer game, by mixing some existing mods and writing a pinch of Lua. He is not into programming, and he did not even use LLM, do i…

This is incorrect. An undecidable problem is one for which no algorithm can compute the correct result for every given instance. Probabilistic classical computation is irrelevant h…

Thank you! That was a (bad) typo. You are right, of course.

That is not how averages work. By definition of mean, perhaps.

Please do not spread lies. "obsolete dinosaur who hasn't written a line of code in decades" The most recent code change in Emacs by RMS was on 2026-04-22 (0fb9d096e38), so ~3 month…

I left Apple Music over this. My albums would keep quietly disappearing. I spent hours on the phone with their support, and despite their promises, nothing ever changed. I left App…

The "other side" of the AI craze.

This is incorrect reasoning. Science is advancing. It is like saying we should not listen to physicists because "Didn't those physicists gave us the original heliocentric system?"

No, that is plain old recursion. Dynamic programming is recursive programming with a twist. The twist is that identical sub-problems are short-circuited with memoization.

> Coding isn’t creative, it isn’t sexy, [...] Nonsense. Coding is creative the same way mathematics is. > Beautiful architecture, perfect tests, elegant abstractions those things f…

For me, Emacs on Mac OS is not all that stable. I see a freeze about twice a month, which is not "very rarely" in my book. It also leaks memory, albeit now (in the upcoming version…

Fennel (Lisp): (table.concat [:highlighted :primary (if discount :on-sale)] " ")

Psychology is stuck in pre-Galilean era. Even if it studies "properties of thought", as you put it, it does so without formal basis, let alone understanding from first principles. …
