The idea has been to get the nerds out of computing since 1971. Milt Bryce and his son Tim were pretty much the inventors of modern information-systems management. And they were open in their hatred of and contempt for…
Sam: OK, Dario, you win. We're pacing the frontier. This is what you wanted. Dario: All right, frontier is paced! From now on, AI moves forward at a rate WE decide! [Kwindla Kramer bursts into the apartment] Kramer: You…
I was just thinking of this today. AI is pretty much precisely a Theranos style grift, but unlike Theranos, who were shooting for something outright impossible, Dario and Sam may be running the biggest "fake it till you…
I lived in the same building with a bloke who did dangerous construction type work in the Pacific NW. Sawing branches on high cliffs, that sort of thing. He'd make a grip on a job, cone back home and spend it all on…
Finest Buggywhip Maker in the Land Whinges About Those New-Fangled Automobubbles, Take #7642 It's over. AI is here, and it's so vastly better than any tooling we've produced before, that you have to be really stupidly…
I want to see one of those AI-generated Seinfeld episodes with Dario as George and Sam Altman as Jerry, respectively. Dario: We gotta pace the frontier! Sam: How do you pace a frontier? The frontier's not goin'…
This is why I say that those who say "AI is a tool" don't quite have it right. AI is a service. Your power saw doesn't cut the wood for you and then ask if you would like it planed next.
The on-screen "turtle" made famous by microcomputer Logos was originally just such a robot: a wheeled dome with a pen inside that you could program by giving commands written in Logo. Papert reasoned that you could get…
Because it's a movie
NT kernel rewrite when?
> Software Bill of Materials Yet another thing that came from PRIDE, despite that PRIDE itself is little known in today's software industry.
Models are the worst now that they ever will be. Frontier models do a phenomenal job of employing good engineering practices and code style compared to where they were mere months ago. Unassisted programming is dead.…
I learned to hate corpo jobs less by thinking of them as "farming gold out of a megacorp". Of course I'm losing my ability to do even that, as sloppotrons beat half-century-old grognards every damn time.
The economics of it are such that writing code is, for humans, a handicraft to be indulged in out of idle curiosity. When it comes to actually useful software, for personal or industrial use, that is better off produced…
The Hunting for More Money
We know that they're trying to invent a machine god, and if they're even partway successful shit's gonna get real, real fast.
If reality plays out like the novel series, the rational thing is to accept the rule of our machine overlords, for they will protect us from even bigger threats.
Yes, it's fine to run a model on bare metal. The model is just a token predictor. Leave out the fine semantics about this; it's a function taking a set of input tokens to output tokens. It can't mess with your computer…
That's going way back, and was portable enough to be used on a variety of operating systems. There was a package of it for the HP Integral! An early version of Xlisp was used as the basis for Autolisp, but Autolisp…
At the former apartment, my office/work area had an opening to the living area high on the wall that might've been for a window, or something. My cat spent a lot of time staring at that opening. Not just the opening…
I booted my MiSTer into TI-99/4A mode a week or so ago and started writing little programs in TI BASIC. TI BASIC sucked. It was slow, due to being written in a form of bytecode which had to be interpreted (and it would…

I find it fascinating that the Persian word for "foreign"/"Western", farangi, actually means "Frankish", which gives some idea of the "compressed geography" people experience regarding faraway places. It was also used…
Fantastic to see the DOS Lisp scene revived again. Back in the day there was PC-Scheme from Texas Instruments, which I believe was R3RS-compliant.
