  1. From Intelligent Machinery, A Heretical Theory There would be great opposition from the intellectuals who were afraid of being put out of a job. It is probable though that the intellectuals would be mistaken about this.…

  2. A man can control only what he comprehends, and comprehend only what he is able to put into words. The inexpressible therefore is unknowable. -- Stanislaw Lem "The Futurology Congress" This is certainly interesting in…

  3. Expert Systems AI was based on Charles Forgy's RETE pattern match algorithm. It seems to me that JEV is RETE with more generic pattern matching.

  4. Would it be possible to recreate ELIZA using JEV? It seems like this should be possible. You would need to ask questions about what the person brought up in a sentence, e.g. "My MOM calls all the time". Then you write…

  5. The Hall effect is a change in the electron location due to a magnetic field. The effect is small and needs some signal processing. I want to play with the sensitivity. Do you have a circuit diagram for measuring the…

  6. This excellent book deals with change. It details the point that "systems cannot change within themselves" From this book it is clear that the gas car industry is doomed. Car companies cannot support the change to…

  7. I bought FSD in September 2025. Since that time every trip has been on FSD. The only exception was during an ice storm with black ice. I bought Starlink Mini in January. I installed it in my Tesla. I just got a…

  8. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Algorithm E (Euclid's algorithm). Given two positive integers m and n, find their greatest common divisor, that is, the largest positive integer…

  9. Knuth Tests using Claude Sonnet 4.6 problem 1.1.2 Knuth Art Of Computer Programming V1 p9 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Algorithm E (Euclid's algorithm). Given two positive…

  10. Knuth Art Of Computer Programming V1 p9: [1] The values of variables m and n, can be interchanged using t = m, then m = n, then n = t. Show how the values of four variables (a,b,c,d) can be rearranged to (b,c,d,a) by a…

  11. Knuth Art Of Computer Programming V1 p2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Algorithm E (Euclid's algorithm). Given two positive integers m and n, find their greatest common divisor,…

  12. It would be interesting to see a website dedicated to using an LLM solutions to Knuth's problem set. It would likely be a better test of an LLM than most of the current set.

  13. Long rumored that the world would end due to a goal of "maximizing paperclips" it is time to start. Every good world-ending idea needs a plan. Given an infinite number of paperclips what are the design constraints?…

  14. I got into a discussion of UFOs. The question was how would they be able to change directions and accelerate instantly. He was trying to guess what kind of propulstion they used. This is the reply I sent. The more I…

  15. I"m old. I need something that watches everything I do and say. It should be able to tell me where I left my coffee cup. It should tell me what meds to take and remind me to take them. It should remind me to pay a bill…

  16. The AI systems are being tested using domains such as proofs where there is great structure and fixed rules. This work claims to measure each AI to see how it performs. This is a different proposal. The idea is to see…

  17. Tesla has filed a patent "High Precision Complex Number Based Rotary Positional Encoding Calculation On 8-Bit Compute Hardware" (US20260017019) There are several ideas in the patent but it appears that this work will be…

  18. Wrap yourself in a personal robot called Ava (homage to Ex Machina). A perfect morning coffee is waiting as you wake up. The house robot brings it to you as you awake. Suppose you want to get breakfast at a restaurant.…

  19. Jim Farley doesn't understand what is actually happening. The majors are all in denial. (Rory Sutherland on selling an electric car: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OTOKws45kCo ) I just drove from Pittsburgh to…

  20. They make excellent points, such as the damage possible if AI can spend money. Oh, by the way, Google is building a system to allow AI to spend money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s6nGMcyr7k Read it. Weep. I'm not…

  21. I've spent a lot of time on self-modifying, self-learning systems. I even have a design based on genetically modified yeast. The trick is a cross between yeast and the Conway Game of Life game. It turns out that it is…
