1) not really, only one of them talks about opponents as enemies 2) the leader of only one of them is threatening to lock up journalists, shut down broadcasters, and use the milita…

I often wonder if Peter Thiel is somewhere, laughing bitterly into a glass of terrible overpriced gin that only a billionaire would drink: "this fuckin' guy... this is my schtick"

I'm sure this is fine, and there is no reason to be concerned that the same very rich person is behind this device as the AI technology whose worst outcomes it exists to combat. Al…

Ehhh though he does seem to think that taking the USA to fascism is a prerequisite. (This is, I think, an apolitical observation: whatever you think about Trump, he is arguing for …

The course I did at uni, decades ago now, set us a Prolog assessment where we were not allowed to use the cut operator. Code that backtracks is hard to reason about.

> Again, Prolog is not magick. The article above and the papers it links to seem to take this attitude of "just add Prolog" and that will make LLMs suddenly magickally reason with …

It's actually pretty concise: Prolog isn't all that easy! That's why people don't use it. Competent CS students fail Prolog courses all the time. A lot of Prolog on the internet wi…

Because Prolog is difficult, and expressing fuzzy real-world facts and nuances in it is harder.

I know we're not supposed to comment on downvotes but I really question the logic of anyone who thinks that a thing that cannot reason can write a prolog program that is really goi…

This is magical thinking. If an LLM can’t reason it isn’t going to be able to express itself clearly in Prolog. Suggesting otherwise is intellectually on the same level as trying t…

It's not universal but some of this stuff seemingly stems from the framework level -- Gtk and Qt. For example, QGIS and FreeCAD are very good indeed on the Mac, and the quirky prob…

Exactly this. It's obvious that generative AI content is bad for search and indexing, and I wish more people would learn to extrapolate from the forms of the problem that already e…

It can open Affinity Designer files!? That’s something of a buried lede. That could make the path from Designer to FreeCAD a bit easier; FreeCAD still has something of a special re…

Right. WordPress is Windows for the Web, basically. More enjoyable to develop for, IMO, but otherwise the comparison holds. I would add that other PHP-based projects have had sever…

I do so love the HN culture that laws are for little people.
