Yet another case of mistaking price for value. When evaluating whether public money is well spent on education it must be more important how valuable it is to the public , not what…

I like the word "botspeak". Another example of typical botspeak is "smoke test". Why not just say "test"? It feels like a way of downplaying the ability to detect problems.

What makes you think it is slop? The emdash?

A letter from me addressed to the agent, describing me and the goals of the project. Not AI-generated, no code or commands. Nothing specific to the technology, because that gets ou…

This is like saying "A slow leak is cheaper than a burst pipe" Yes, okay. But with both you will have a bad time cleaning up. There is a third option: good abstractions. I did see …

> That sure looks like software to me! > But, at the same time, the user experiences it as a graphic. An animated GIF, for example, contains a small amount of code-like data to say…

In the referenced benchmark GLM-5.2 (max) got 25% of all questions correct. GPT-5.5 (xhigh) got 57% correct. https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/omniscience I'd much rather h…

This sounds like how I think. But for me, it often results in situations where I think much harder and longer than others but fail to act. I learned to sometimes act instead of thi…

"Let it crash" is a sentence that gets attention. It makes a person want to know more about it, as it sounds controversial and different. "Let it heal" doesn't have that.

One of the biggest usability problems with Python dependencies is that the name you import might be different from the name that you use to install the package. So if you find some…

"XOR" as encryption probably refers to one-time-pad encryption, which is a very secure encryption strategy if done well, albeit often impractical. (Note: I'm not saying anything ab…

Is bluetooth not usable anymore?
