It doesn’t fly. It jumps. Like the Mark V.

Apparently Pops Racer works for Tesla.

Yeah. It is interesting to think about how to build that sovereign AI solution. cryptocurrency

These instructions are to achieve a much more modest goal than that!

Amazing. Thanks for your detailed posts on the bake-off between the Mac and GB10, Daniel, and on your learnings. I had trying similar on both compute platforms on my to-do list. Your post should save me a lot of debugs, sweat, and tears.

Whether by design or accident, the way Anthropic is managing the Claude Mythos release is creating a Glomar Trap for customers, competitors, and investors.

New comment by anactofgod in "The Seasons Are Wrong"

anactofgod — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 07:51:38 +0000

Do you want to define the seasons by temperature? Or by lengthening of the day? Because, to me, seasons are tied to weather in general, but temperature specifically. And temperature seems to correlates to length of day, but trails it by about a month. Which makes sense, since it takes time to heat/cool the enormous thermal mass. So, if weather is how you track the changing of the seasons, it’s close enough to correct as-is.

CLaRa (Continuous Latent Reasoning) is an approach Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that shortens context, reduces double-encoding, and improves quality of responses by compressing documents into a small set of "continuous memory tokens" that preserve the key information in the documents, and optimizes and performs retrieval and generation out of that shared latent space.

anactofgod — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 18:00:20 +0000

Because, the programming languages best matched to a (natural human language-based) declarative programming paradigm (e.g., vibe coding) would be declarative programming languages, not imperative programming languages.

Yes. Logue's are (brilliant) retellings, not translations. His source material were other English translations, since he was not literate in ancient Greek (as the article's author notes).

----------

See an East African lion Nose tip to tail tuft ten, eleven feet Slouching towards you Swaying its head from side to side Doubling its pace, its gold-black mane That stretches down its belly to its groin Catching the sunlight as it hits Twice its own length a beat, then leaps Great forepaws high great claws disclosed The scarlet insides of its mouth Parting a roar as loud as sail-sized flames And lands, slam-scattering the herd.

“This is how Hector came on us.”

If only he were able to complete his retelling.

"People seem to think that having the internet at their fingertips means they no longer need to know anything themselves. But in order to understand things, you need a lot of knowledge readily available in your head. Only then can the mind make the connections between the different points of data and come to new insights. This cannot happen when that knowledge is external, in a book or on some Wikipedia page that you have to look up first."

Or in an AI model.

anactofgod — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 20:14:36 +0000

"Vorrath, who has spent 36 years at Apple, is known for managing the development of tough software projects. She’s also put procedures in place that can catch and fix bugs."

"In the mid-2000s, she was chosen to lead project management for the original iPhone software group and get the iconic device ready for consumers. Until 2019, she oversaw project management for the iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems, before taking on the Vision Pro software."

Is Apple having a project management/delivery execution problem? Maybe.

But, it seems like they are actually having a deeper product envisioning problem for how Apple should be leverage AI to enhance their "bicycles for the mind". They need to figure out what the right things to build are, before they optimized how to build and deliver it.

New comment by anactofgod in "Should I Haskell or OCaml?"

anactofgod — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 23:52:07 +0000

Up until a few days ago, I was also vacillating between learning OCaml or Haskell, before deciding on Haskell for reasons.

I surveyed many free and paid-for references to build my foundation, before picking John Whitington's "Haskell From the Very Beginning" (https://www.haskellfromtheverybeginning.com), because it "takes a no-prerequisites approach to teaching the basics of a modern general-purpose programming language".

I am also using Replit's "free-tier" as my Haskell learning environment. Replit let me jump right into the fun of Haskell, while postponing dealing with installation/configuration nuances until absolutely necessary. This is also letting me do learning any time I have a free moment from wherever I last left off on any computing device I have handy, including my tablets or smartphone.

So far, my learning experience has been a joy.

If you decide on OCaml, Whitington also wrote "OCaml From the Very Beginning" (http://ocaml-book.com), which available via free pdf or HTML thanks to the OCaml Software Foundation, and looks to be structured similar to his Haskell book.

Hope this helps.
