This feels like money left on the table
I hadn't thought of the revenue stream I could get by publishing anti-AI articles taken directly from Turing's paper point for point

I really should do Advent of Code
Last year I got distracted about half way through, just when it was getting interesting. But those problems are fun

honestly, doing these leetcode exercises is kind of invigorating. My last job got so dysfunctional and toxic I think I actually lost track of my competencies. Doing these silly little exercises, then getting corrected by Claude, is nice tangible results. Makes me feel good about what I'm doing

Opus 4.5 on Zeno's arrow 🤣
The move is: take a phenomenon whose essential character is its extension across a dimension, collapse that dimension, then express puzzlement that the character vanished. It's not deep—it's sampling error dressed up as metaphysics.

There's a sense in which LLMs obliterated Western Philosophy by elevating questions from categorization into high-dimensional abstraction

This is what I mean when I say I cant actually tell american conservatives from leftists anymore because increasingly they both embrace the same puritan ideology that society should not develop things that are more accessible or which lessen labor toll.
I am reminded of someone's observation that tech bros never learned how to look after themselves.
So they keep trying to create technology to remind them the milk in the fridge is past its use by date.
The sort of stuff mom did when they were kids and they can't manage to do themselves.

implemented kahn's topological sort last night. I needed Claude to fix a bunch of stuff for me, but it was still fun. I love the graph-y stuff

"things can be more than the sum of their parts"
We even have an expression for that, "more than the sum of its parts"

A lot of arguments against AI creating new knowledge also directly imply that humans cannot create new knowledge

imho when we taught the beasties to translate idioms, which is hard, they started translating *everything* because everything has the nature of an idiom
They see a coding problem as an idiom for which they have a response

Sloan is always perceptive, and here I think he's put his finger on something important.
It's not just that language models are good at code, but that they're good at helping people translate their problems *into* code.
They both create a new opportunity surface and reduce barriers to entry there.
