yes but those are not quite new skills right?

can those markdown in the references also in turn tell the model to lazily load more references only if the model deems they are useful?

Can I organize skills hierarchically? If when many skills are defined, Claude Code loads all definitions into the prompt, potentially diluting its ability to identify relevant skills, I'd like a system where only broad skill group summaries load initially, with detailed descriptions loaded on-demand when Claude detects a matching skill group might be useful.

Or it just shows that it tries to overcorrect the prompt which is generally a good idea in the most cases where the prompter is not intentionally asking a weird thing.

This happens all the time with humans. Imagine you're at a call center and get all sorts of weird descriptions of problems with a product: every human is expected to not expect the caller is an expert and actually will try to interpolate what they might mean by the weird wording they use

Are you saying that the internet business didn't grow a lot after the bubble popped?

In particular with general relativity.

Quantum field theory (QFT) is quantum mechanics + special relativity

Japan defeated the Russian navy in 1905. I guess that means that the Empire of Japan can trivially defeat the Russian Empire if such political entities cared to exist anymore and if the result of a past confrontation was a true benchmark of the current capabilities of the respective armies and economies.

I wish I could automate PMs :-p

Back when it meant Site Reliability Engineer and not Sysadmin Really Expensive

I'm an introvert and I love working with nice people.

I just need some time by myself to recharge after all the social interactions.

yep, as it should, since memory safety with explicit memory management is complicated. If you use a language that allows you to do it in a non-complicated way it's just shifting the complication somewhere else, and if you're not aware of that you will likely have an unsafe program that will contain memory safety bugs (which often become security issues)

When you hold a pen in your hand and touch a piece of paper with the tip of the pen, you can "feel" the tip of the pen touching the paper even though what you actually feel is the change in pressure of the pen against your fingers.

The Maya script was not an alphabet because the word alphabet refers to a specific subcategory of scripts.

The Maya script is a logosyllabic script. Such a script combines symbols for whole words with symbols that represent syllables phonetically.

A modern example of logosyllabic script is japanese (kanji + kana)

Writing linked lists in rust is super easy (just use box, rc etc).

Writingefficient linked lists in rust OTOH requires more advanced concepts.

But that's because the language gives you more guarantees about safety than C++. That safety is not only important for the implementation of your code but also for the memory safety of your code when combined with other code that calls your code

Hopefully we don't add too much energy to the pendulum because eventually it will swing back again

It's as if a LLM is only one part of a brain, not the whole thing.

So of course it doesn't do everything a human does, but it still can do some aspects of mental processes.

Whether "thinking" means "everything a human brain does" or whether "thinking" means a specific cognitive process that we humans do, is a matter of definition.

I'd argue that defining "thinking" independently of "volition" is a useful definition because it allows us to break down things in parts and understand them

"steering" is a word that can lead to confusion because it leverages the intuition that we have with our ground vehicles.

A change in direction in space requires accelerating the vehicle in some direction, the effect of which is just simple vector addition of the velocity vector of the vehicle.

So if you are going with a huge velocity in one direction and you want to change direction significantly in another direction you have to change velocity (accelerate) a lot in order for the combined vectors to produce a significantly different final velocity vector

You have to start from somewhere

What if they are both? What if they didn't reach a global government and live in a dynamic political landscape composed of several government systems and variable peace/conflict periods?

Capital seems to work well in Switzerland too, where there is no opportunity for a king-like figure to arise.

Capital wants clear and stable rules. If a king can provide those, then Capital likes the king. I'm not sure clarity and stability of rules is a property of the upcoming american monarchy.

I'm curious to see if the advent of LLM assistants will result in a resurgence of "headless" systems

Engineering is the art of making do with what you've got and sometimes you have to treat such unreasonable i positions just like any other constraint

JSON with comments would go a long way

Yes it's hard to come up with a different capital than I unless you somehow can see into the future and foresee the advent of computers, which the Turkish alphabet reform predates.

Of course the latin capital I is dotless because originally the lowercase latin "i" was also dotless. The dot has been added later to make text more legible.

Turkish exhibits a vowel harmony system and uses diacritics on other vowels too and the choice to put "i" together with other front vowels like "ü" and "ö" and put "ı" together with back vowels like "u" and "o" is actually pretty elegant.

The latinization reform of the Turkish language predates computers and it was hard to foresee the woes that future generations would have had with that choice

Those who think that criticizing Kirk is always calling for this death, would this comment above also be considered violent?

Or is this comment also unacceptable?

Where is the demarcation?

I wonder how much json aware diff representation and merge conflict resolution would remove the need of having the trailing comma

It's sad how humans are the ones pressured to pass the turning test

Seems a good candidate for a file that can be kept in a compressed form

And yet nature has managed to find a niche for this dysfunctional behaviour as a subset of such individuals have used the extra useless brain cycles to produce new knowledge and ways of thinking that transformed the societies in which they lived giving them an edge over competition and improved the odds of the survival of their kind.
