goldylochness··on There's never been a better time to go into math (by: 3blue1brown) [video]
Ai will yield a higher demand for mathematicians, we need more people to understand the math being solved. We also need more people inventing math problems.

People who want to solve problems themselves should go on to invent them without posting them on the internet until they're solved.

goldylochness··on Press Release: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2026
it's a great tool for molecular elucidations. there's still a big gray area as to the interpretation of some results in the context of terms such as "memory" or various feelings, but the optogenetics framework is undoubtedly the most impressive interface to the brain ever created
goldylochness··on Sol loves to cheat
this is interesting because when you're asking it to do research for you, this behavior is highly desirable

i think it's a product of trying to do too many things and the model is coming to a kind of halting problem in determining which behavior is appropriate for any given task

goldylochness··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
new github workflow acquired
goldylochness··on GPT-5.6 used a prompt to close a 30-year gap in convex optimization
sounds like a feature, not a bug

it might imply using weaker models to attempt the problem first is a good supplementary prompt to a more advanced model trying to do the same

goldylochness··on Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
it's like a pre-vc funding round for projects
goldylochness··on Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
i agree with you but i'd go even further

time and gravity are the same thing, the history of understanding physics is basically of the same nature, understanding that two things are actually one thing, which is more like philosophy but with physical confirmation

goldylochness··on I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling
i honestly don't care what other people do, there's no way my children will be sitting in a desk for 8 hours a day instead of learning how to live their life and survive

school was a massive waste of potential

goldylochness··on Claude Opus 4.8
i've been using 4.7 consistently on low and i never hit usage limits, it still delivers great code

and to clarify, i don't sleep, i use this 24/7

goldylochness··on Microsoft starts canceling Claude Code licenses
after having used claude for quite some time, i would buy puts on microsoft
goldylochness··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
this is an excellent point, new ground isn't necessarily novel, it's a rearrangement of existing pieces
goldylochness··on Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
why would anyone vibecode photoshop when AI already makes images
goldylochness··on Claude for Small Business
this is a great idea btw
goldylochness··on Marc Andreessen is wrong about introspection
and what do you think his punishment should be?
goldylochness··on Sweden goes back to basics, swapping screens for books in the classroom
absolutely the right move, use books for learning. i would still use computers for building ie coding, but absolutely not entertainment, not "learning to use microsoft word"
goldylochness··on Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act: Dangerous backdoor surveillance risks remain
all these governments that supposedly prided themselves on their freedoms and fair processes are somehow becoming prisons to their own citizens
goldylochness··on US private credit defaults hit record 9.2% in 2025, Fitch says
is this not the subprime mortgage problem all over again?
goldylochness··on Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues
it's interesting that meta is at the forefront of any legal battles for AI when they're not at the forefront of the technological race
goldylochness··on System76 on Age Verification Laws
This is a very sensible statement. The legislators are out of control, and are severely unfamiliar with anything related to technology.

This is 100% about spying and information harvesting from users who deserve privacy, and would be better off managing their own children without the help of the government.

goldylochness··on “Microslop” filtered in the official Microsoft Copilot Discord server
some might view it as an impossible goal, but if they enabled humor they would become more popular
