What you're seeing now is the split between software behaviorists (DHH, Unc Bob) and software cognitivists, who were always lumped into the same tank before.

There's something festive about fall, about a transformation so obvious it colors the skies.

Things I want for AI:
1. Generate algorithmic flow charts
2. Generate 3D geometries (stp, stl)
3. Link to real / accurate sources
4. Do physics, chemistry, and math competently
5. Generate simulation case files (openFOAM)
What am I missing?

Idk man I love Twitter
Narcissists are fun short term and annoying long term.
“In a study of groups that met regularly for several months, the people who scored highest on narcissism were at first the most popular people in the group.
By the end of several months, they were the least popular.
People who love themselves the most do not make the best friends.” - Rob Henderson

A sphere is curved. Its tangent plane is not.
Stand at P on M and choose v in the tangent plane. The geodesic G_v starts there: G_v(0) = P and G_v'(0) = v.
Ride that geodesic for time 1; the exponential map lands at q = exp_p(v) = G_v(1). The logarithm returns the same vector: log_p(q) = v.
Curved space still computes by first becoming flat.

… there’s a journal of functional programming????????
FP fans - for your reading pleasure, 22 new PhD abstracts have just been published in the Journal of Functional Programming, and are freely available to read with links to the full dissertations. jfp.episciences.org/articles…

If you played Ark Raiders you know what this means
It moves by shifting its own weight around inside! 🥎
MARBLE, from the General Robotics Lab at Duke University.
A sealed sphere that rolls across land, propels itself on water, and has no external moving parts at all.
Three mass sliders sit inside on mutually orthogonal axes. Moving them displaces the centre of mass away from the geometric centre of the shell, which creates a gravitational moment about the ground contact point, which rolls the ball.
Three axes means it can do that in any direction.
As the body rolls, the slider axes rotate with it, so the mapping from "go this way" to "put the sliders here" keeps changing. The controller has to be orientation-aware and re-solve continuously while the robot tumbles.
The shell then does four separate jobs: ground contact surface, buoyancy, mounting for the passive fins, and sealed housing for everything that actuates.
Rotating it rolls the robot on land and drives the fins on water. No reconfiguration between media.

i saw daniel litt criticizing profs who use AI to generate their slides, but my interactive slide-making app has revolutionized the way I make slides--I spend significant amounts of time using AI to help create my slides to match exactly my vision, and it has been great.

Everything in the world is finite, except space itself which is continuous. That's strange.
