I know category theory and the Leech lattice.

I assure you brethren, that this project is unmitigated AI derived fresh organic faeculent material.

A pile of steaming sh*t like our esteemed elders used to say.

How many million graduate students do you need to give the US the military hegemony and political influence over allies and adversaries that the F-35 program provides ?

Looked at from a policy maker's viewpoint, things look very different.

New comment by KnuthIsGod in "AI outperforms law professors in Stanford Law study"

KnuthIsGod — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 02:01:18 +0000

In the hands of a domain expert, AI is useful. In the hands of the naive, it is a foot gun.

I killed my Arch installation and was stuck at the GRUB prompt.Unwilling to brush up my rusty knowledge of GRUB syntax, I asked Gemini for help. The commands Gemini suggested would have wiped my hd...

Once Gemini was told that I was using BTRFS, the suggestion from Gemini looked a bit more sane, but still looked incorrect to me.

It was only after I informed Gemini that I was using a NMVE with BTRFS that it finally produced a sane command.
