this behaviour absolutely sends me. I guess it estimates time by keeping an API call counter, but how it responds is the average lazy developer excuse

what if AI lets us change the currency of scientific publication as well? Researchers can now produce eg. test code, examples, outreach material, with the same effort as for pushing a single paper.

[vibe coding] Text similarity search via normalized compression distance
Hi all, tldr; I’ve vibecoded a new library, here’s how it went. Background A while back the NLP community rediscovered a 20-year old clustering algorithm based on compression (see Cilibrasi & Vita...

LLMs default to Python, so I asked G to produce
#haskell
instead for a text similarity data structure. It nailed the basics, used a Vantage-point tree which is quite uncommon, also produced the requisite disclaimers on laziness and BangPatterns. But collected the results with ++ 😂

i think everyone gets this image wrong. intelligence isn't in the mind itself, it's how the mind interfaces with the world. humans are jagged, but we fill the gaps by building and using tools. no single human is AGI, that's why we invented language to communicate and coordinate.

in The book of why, Pearl articulates what to me looks like a compiler for producing research designs. I wonder if we could use LLMs at least for the question-asking bit.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.
