This is the exact issue I've been having though. I feel like I'm unable to benefit society now. My whole life I've spent learning math and computer science so that I could help other people do things. Now they don't…
Thanks for the correction! I updated my answer to fix that :)
After some back and forth with AI, I think I understand: 1. The Exponential Time Hypothesis being false shows that 3SAT specifically is sub-exponential time 2. Any NP hard problem can be changed into 3SAT in polynomial…
No, they are completely different. Determinism is the idea that if you have a perfect snapshot of the universe at one time, you could run that snapshot forwards or backwards using the laws of physics and have a complete…
I've had a theory for a while now that music is related to Kolmogorov complexity, or in other words how compressible it is. Random noise that we find unpleasant is very incompressible. On the other hand, simple sound…
As someone relatively anti-LLM, I fully agree we should run them on our own code for a bug scan. I think the only two scenarios that make sense to avoid it is if you are ethically opposed to them AND releasing something…
I've studied this a lot, and it really isn't a band-aid at all. Everything aligns perfectly with matter that only interacts with gravity. This means it is invisible and nearly intangible. "That sounds crazy, nothing…
As someone who has really struggled with AI recently, I actually think I have an answer to this part: understand the difference between art and science. Now, I don't mean art as in pictures. Rather, I mean science is…
I'm finding that one of the most difficult parts for me of the AI takeover is the loss of stories.
Here's a good one for you: "Explain the double slit experiment which way variation" If they say anything about leaving two straight lines, then it fails. Just tried Gemini, and it failed. This is an extremely common…
I'll add to that: you are more likely to have a good experience if it has a lot of relevant data that it was trained on. You are also more likely to have a good experience if errors don't cause major issues. So…
I'm one of those developers, and I think it makes sense to write documentation for Claude and I have no issues with that. The point of self-documenting code isn't to get rid of the documentation. Instead, it's to…
While I haven't had this issue with Gmail, I recently got a new computer and the first two weeks for full of moments like this. It's shocking to me how much we've let popups go rampant on everything. Perhaps the worst…
The author is definitely not inventing a problem. I ran into this issue at work this month. We were using WPF, which is C# combined with XAML. I needed to call some async code. First, I tried to call it from synchronous…
You are correct, grayscale is where every pixel's R = G = B, which for a 24 bit image would include 256 colors.

There are two types of "brainrot" that are related but not the same. Essentially brainrot is anything that is anti-thinking. The first type of brainrot is what happens when you let other things think for you and your…
They really aren't all that different from each other. One is imaginary things that might one day be possible, and the other is imaginary things that won't ever be possible. And even then, that can swap between the…
I agree, and one place I've observed this is in quantum physics. The double slit experiment is an experiment where you shine light through two slits, and instead of the expected two bands, it makes a wave-like…
My wife is on phase 3. She graduated with a computer science degree in January, and then her dad passed away. The estate was a mess so she ended up spending time figuring that out. Then, we found and fixed a medical…
I agree, but I'd add that it's not just the tech giants who want them to be better than they are, but also non-programmers. IMO LLMs are actually pretty good at writing small scripts. First, it's much more common for a…

I don't feel threatened at all. Until we have true general AI like we see in the movies, there's no chance that an AI like AlphaCode could design software, and there's no chance that it could write actual code because…
I'd say it was because of the nature of two of the three punishments. Taking away money from someone who had won it in a tournament was too far and "firing" casters (banning casters for either 6 or 12 months is…
The answer to this which makes the most sense to me is that the wave function collapses when the information exists that determines the quantum state. In Schrodinger's cat, this would be when the Geiger counter detects…
