Fzakaria has whatever the opposite is of AI psychosis. He's in an AI flow.

If you adopt ADRs, you also need to adopt the practice of keeping them up-to-date and saying which ADRs are superseded and/or deprecated and by what newer ADRs.

An ADR directory is an immutable append-only log of transactions over the architecture, if the reduction operation over the set leaves a state with contradictions, then your set of ADRs is not well-maintained.

Not saying this is a fault of the devs, I think it's a fault of the people teaching ADRs and telling everyone they're great and you should adopt them. They take time to maintain and keep coherent.

If your team doesn't have processes to do this, then it's like a bank account that everyone can write to, but when the moment comes to withdraw money from it, it turns out a lot of the writes were done with monopoly money instead of real money, and you're suddenly in the red.

There are no easy shortcuts.

No.

This is not an RC for the patched image.

8.5.12RC1 is a planned RC, see: https://discourse.thephp.foundation/t/php-php-8-5-12rc1-avai...

I doubt their infrastructure is idle.

Totally possible in Python, but clojure is typically more amenable to this kind of change because of how data is immutable by default, you can just replace without any consequences because the application is already developed with that concept in mind.

For iPython that's totally possible because the model there is just some kind of dependency graph. Regular python programs, much more complex I'd bet unless the architecture takes it into account

That's a default bot in that subreddit, it's there for all posts. I get your criticism but I don't think this was done deliberately.

Please write up your comments as blog posts, articles or whatever you can do.

There is such an incredible amount of bullshit going on in the conversation. You are contributing a point that is necessary for people to start taking into consideration and the only way to get people to talk about it is by repeating it 100 times.

I fear that the AI labs will get their way and we'll get idiotic restrictions that favor them, all in the name of "security" when the reality is they care about power for themselves, not real world security.

Given what I learned from "chaos" by James Gleick, the predicament we're in is that we likely cannot predict outcomes or the events themselves, rather what we know is that weather will become more unpredictable and more extreme.

So the answer to your question is it could be either or both or neither. Whatever happens is going to be on average more extreme than what you're used to.

The author addresses this, no?

> But I did notice an immediate change, especially with words like “traffic.” Traffic makes me feel like I’m just throwing out flypaper and measuring whatever sticks. When I describe website visitors as “readers,” it reminds me that these are real people who have literally billions of other things they could be reading that day, but they’re choosing to spend some of their limited time with me.

Indeed, and I said I stopped using the tool in the comment I made.

Eh, the rendering of Claude Code is genuinely such a mess. I have quit claude code over it because when used as a terminal in PHPStorm it sometimes gets so bad that it becomes hard to use.

This isn't a minor nitpick, it's a pretty major UX issue.

Not saying it's like a massive business downside because I'm just one of a few users, maybe this affects their bottom line a little bit, but probably not by much.

Regardless, switching to pi has been a nice breath of fresh air. It just renders well and smoothly and handles terminal resizes well, which is especially important when used in a terminal window in PHPStorm.

Love it! If this works well I'm going to add it to my basic linux tools toolkit next to htop and the like.

Oh I really like this! The one counterargument that comes to mind is when I think about the likes of C++, where there are many editions and they can be confusing to keep track of.

I'm not sure if you'd want to set one edition in stone every year. Perhaps every 3 years? Or 5 years? Especially for a long-term project like SQLite, that sounds perfectly acceptable!

All girls or most girls?

I definitely know some girls who'd love this, and see this as having fun.

I am so, so happy to see real art for once? It looks great.

You should add a scoreboard! I got zanagram #5 in 3 minutes and 53 seconds. Also found two bonus words

I thought I was slow but now I see others took 10 minutes and 20 minutes! Maybe I'm not so slow!

Qwen 3.6 27B performs similarly to sonnet 4.5 (note I said 4.5, not 4.6) when it comes to coding. It runs amazingly well on my PC with a 7900xtx.

It's worse at general tasks, but in the precise domain of coding I actually prefer to use it over my claude subscription because it has 0 latency (and no privacy concerns whatsoever).

They look cool, but it is known that they don't add much.

In Obsidian, the local graph has real uses, but the global one is mostly to see structure in your notes and look cool on social media.

I was researching and prototyping a graph like Obsidian's before Obsidian came out, based on the ideas in "how to take smart notes"

I believe the direction of UI I was exploring there has more than what graphs currently have, although I didn't have the time to build it out and I saw that the site has been offline for a while.

It was a working tool though.

Do you not think that solutions to erdos problems might end up stepping stones to other important problems?

Either by introducing new tools, or by proving things that were previously unproven that end up helping in unexpected ways?

That's often how math goes, isn't it?

reMarkable is doing a decent job, their first generation device launched in 2017. Still getting updates. It is discontinued for sale, but there is no reason to believe reMarkable will stop updating their other devices if they're _still_ updating a device they don't even sell anymore.

On top of that, their aftermarket and open source situation is pretty good.

They're not ideal e-readers though, but if you're in the market for a good e-ink device with long-term support and that works well with calibre? Might be worth a look.

There is no hallucination benchmark currently.

I was researching how to predict hallucinations using the literature (fastowski et al, 2025) (cecere et al, 2025) and the general-ish situation is that there are ways to introspect model certainty levels by probing it from the outside to get the same certainty metric that you _would_ have gotten if the model was trained as a bayesian model, ie, it knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn't know.

This significantly improves claim-level false-positive rates (which is measured with the AUARC metric, ie, abstention rates; ie have the model shut up when it is actually uncertain).

This would be great to include as a metric in benchmarks because right now the benchmark just says "it solves x% of benchmarks", whereas the real question real-world developers care about is "it solves x% of benchmarks *reliably*" AND "It creates false positives on y% of the time".

So the answer to your question, we don't know. It might be a cherry picked result, it might be fewer hallucinations (better metacognition) it might be capability to solve more difficult problems (better intelligence).

The benchmarks don't make this explicit.

This sounds lovely! This definitely sounds like the kind of thing that would really work well to let all the stresses of the everyday wash off!

It reminds me a lot of the YouTube channel "life in jars", he normally makes videos about microbiology and freshwater ecology in... jars!

But on top of that he also had a short series on gaining the trust of and befriending crows in his city.

Good incentive for me to try this out!

Cerebras?

I wrote a program that has programmable brushes about ten years ago, it's a bit different from moss in that it has a physics simulation underneath rather than a sort of shader, but I've always thought this kind of approach has a lot of potential.

It feels _amazing_ to draw a bird in a single stroke!

Maybe this can give you some inspiration!

Sorry but what do you mean crystal clear requirements?

I don't particularly think "y7u8888888ftrg34BC" would pass as a crystal clear requirement at my workplace :<

Do you mean something different?

If I understand the author correctly, he chose the hyperbolic model specifically because the story of "the singularity" _requires_ a function that hits infinity.

He's looking for a model that works for the story in the media and runs with it.

Your criticism seems to be criticizing the story, not the author's attempt to take it "seriously"

My friend, this is amazing, Thank you!
