Always remember that when an LLM prints the beginning of a text, it has no idea what the end will be.
Therefore, when it says "The answer is yes, and this is why:" the text after "why" would most likely be a very elaborate lie combined with gaslighting in case "yes" was the wrong answer.

@collin_ruth89 it’s not that hybrids don’t work, it’s just that they’re not always worth the extra cost and complexity.

I don’t understand why every vehicle isn’t a hybrid.
Why not use regenerative braking to charge a battery in every car?
Huge increase in gas mileage.
Why do they still make non-hybrids?

I wonder why new "fancy" coding languages refuse to provide user-defined literals. I find them very handy.

AI-Enhanced LiDAR. Left vs right.
A real LiDAR device costs thousands of dollars. What's in your iPhone Pro is a "baby LiDAR". Limited depth resolution, noisy output, not really built for high-precision 3D.
You can't change the hardware. So we built an ML layer on top. Denoising, geometry completion, detail recovery. Processed server-side. Same sensor. Very different result.

Ok look.
Maybe it can generate plausible-looking text.
Maybe it can answer general knowledge questions.
Maybe it can generate code snippets.
Maybe it can answer simple math questions.
Maybe it can autonomously research complex topics.
Maybe it can do research with a feedback loop.
Maybe it can build entire applications in one go.
Maybe it can solve open problems in mathematics.
But it's not *really* intelligent, you just have AI psychosis

@orion78fra @pikuma “Unfortunately, you did not get the answer we were looking for, the solution is was:
U(n+1) = 2(U(n) +1)

If you complain that a company asked you to code a simple palindrome check function during an interview, arguing that it "has nothing to do with the actual job", remember that it's just "cognitive screening." It's similar to asking the simple pattern recognition question below.

Surprising math fact of the day: a monkey is hitting keys at random (uniformly, independently & at constant speed) on a keyboard. The expected value of the time T₁ it takes to type “abracadabra” is greater than the expected value of the time T₂ it takes to type “abracadabrz”.

I know there are many (understatement) approaches to AI use where students are being evaluated, and that there is variation between disciplines and levels of study, but I thought I'd share one and perhaps stoke the debate.
Anyone (including my students) is welcome to comment...

@Jonathan_Blow Give it a lot of words (say a depth/tree of thesaurus searches) and have it choose the best word from that set.
AI is not creative, but it is good at tasks.
English
I've been trying to use ChatGPT as a thesaurus but it doesn't seem to be very good ... it keeps making generic suggestions even when prompted like "imagine you are very learned, with a huge vocabulary"... it then just picks older generic words. Any hints? English has 600k words!

If you think about it, a fully mechanical car can be driven to any position on a piece of infinite tape. It can leave marks by spinning out its tires. The driver can follow instructions regarding where to drive based on the tire marks.
Every car is a computer.

@nikicaga Scissor stairs weren’t banned because everyone was dumb; they were banned because fire code prized redundancy: two truly separate exits. That safety concern is real. We don’t price the tradeoff: safer vs cheaper. We just act shocked that housing costs exploded.
English
Why would they ever be banned???
Saad Asad@realsaadasad
Washington unanimously legalized scissor stairs, a building code reform that frees up to 56% more living space per floor. Less wasted space means cheaper homes on smaller lots. Most US states banned this since the 1970s for no good reason.

I redid the multi-digit multiplication experiment, now with gpt-5.5. With medium reasoning and 7 samples each cell, it pretty much aced the test with 99.46% accuracy. The model had no tools to call and had to rely on its reasoning. Can it go further? (1/4)
Yuntian Deng@yuntiandeng
For those curious about how o3-mini performs on multi-digit multiplication, here's the result. It does much better than o1 but still struggles past 13×13. (Same evaluation setup as before, but with 40 test examples per cell.)

@kittykareninas If you wrote it you can answer questions, in detail, about it. It’s very easy to do if you actually wrote it, but near impossible otherwise.
