was approached at a party with the first question being “what’s your favorite math problem?“ really drove it home yeah i’m in sf

I'm just going to say it: Socks do not disappear in the wash. You lost those socks yourself, by being careless. I have never lost a sock in the wash



I fell asleep on the couch and my back is sweaty but can you actually write down the halting problem counter example program thing? Is it finite?


This is fed into an op-amp that constantly adjusts its output voltage to control the NMOS transistor (previously a 2k resistor). The op-amp uses feedback from the transistor's source, compares to the 3.3V on the positive terminal, and adjusts! The loop has been closed!

the choice isnt between "code written by ai" and "artisan handwritten code written by john carmack" the choice is between "code written by ai" and "something that could have existed, but didnt"




But it's not exactly managing. For example they will be much better than you at certain tasks, and for other capabilities, you are vastly better than they are. Also they have amnesia


From NACTO & the USDOT Volpe Center re: research supporting the downsizing of fire trucks in urban areas. 1/ Smaller, more maneuverable emergency response trucks often have similar, or **better**, capabilities than the most common trucks on U.S. streets.

@jasonc_nc In British Columbia, the paper explaining how single-egress is safe was authored by a P.Eng with a graduate degree in civil fire engineering from a prominent European university. The counter argument was written by a former high school gym teacher who runs the fire union. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
