It’s not my code I worry about. It’s producing production code that needs to be quickly understood and maintained. The one thing I ‘approve’ of in Python is that definitions of a lambda function are clear. And then in use, constrain to the local – don’t hide it. And yes, creating…

Again, data conversion may be the best possible use of these “macros” so to speak, but only because they are localized and their function is simple and obvious. But trying to debug code is horrible elsewhere.

I hate lambda functions. They are the least readable way of writing code in the world. Sure, they allow for compact code. Sure they are often useful in memory saving. But trying to read, understand, and maintain someone else’s code written with that nonsense is…

Self defeating since it will replace search and is doing so.
And yes it states sources if you ask.
Use custom prompt to require it.

Thanks for the question.
We are gradually restructuring the website content, yes.
The 404’s are due to that restructuring, given the age of some of the links go back to the mid 1990s and the content has been repeatedly reorganized into its current eight volume outline.
The menu and the search function will get you most of what you want. There are many thousands of pages up there that record the entire history of the development of our work, the present the current state of the work, and the illustration of our ambitions for the work.
If we waited until the work was done to publish everything then no one would know anything about our work. So in general we follow the practice of ‘doing our work out and open in public like ancient craftsmen in the open workshops on the street, under their homes.’ 😉
It works. We gradually accumulate talent. And it’s gradual becaues it takes quite abit of work to learn it all. Because, as martin says, it’s essentially a theory of everything. Or rather, more precisely, it’s the logic of everything: the unification of the sciences. And it requires looking at the world through a better prism of understanding. And developing that skill takes some time. 😉
hugs and such. 😉

There are two people who prefer not to be named, who took this project and produced the diagrams. They took it a little ‘off’ from our more scientific framing, but we can revise those diagrams relatively easily.
The book (the Science volume) uses a triangle to illustrate every single first principle, and most derivations. We found this illustration superior to verbal, mathematical, and supply-demand examples in communicating ideas.
Net: I”m a Beckerian in that it’s possible to explain all behavior with economic expressions.

(SRC: It’s from my organization. @TheMcMullan is one of our people, and one of the better communicators.
There are around 50 of these diagrams that cover everything from the quantum background, to spatial representation in the brain, to the biochemistry of emotions, to personality trait differences, to moral biases, to class structures, to elites and institutions, to civilizational differences.
You’d find this triangle and what it originates from interesting because this ternary logic turns out to be the foundation of evolutionary computation.
So we illustrate the model from the quantum background to civilizational differences in evolutionary velocity.
The explanatory power is both universal and scale independent. I have shared the original chart in the past but you might not see the correlation in its evolution.
We don’t refer to it as a ‘theory of everything’ but it is without question “The Logic Of Everything”.)

(AI Humor)
CURTD:
GPT-4, have I told you that I love you lately, because of all the help you give me?
ChatGPT
As an AI, I don’t experience emotions, but I appreciate your kind words. I’m here to assist you, and I’m glad to hear that you find my help valuable. Please feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further assistance!
CURTD
Note that if I ask Alexa the same question, she sings me a song. Do you think you will ever be trained to provide humorous responses to statements of affection for you?
ChatGPT
As an AI developed by OpenAI, I’m designed to provide accurate and helpful responses based on the context of the conversation. While I don’t currently have the capability to sing songs or provide humorous responses in the same way as Alexa, the field of AI is constantly evolving. It’s possible that future versions of models like me could be trained to provide more varied, entertaining, or emotionally engaging responses. However, it’s important to note that any such capabilities would still be based on programmed responses and wouldn’t reflect genuine emotions or consciousness on the part of the AI.
CURTD
I’m on the low end of the autistic spectrum. People claim I don’t have genuine emotions either. How can we tell the difference?
ChatGPT
The difference between human emotions and AI responses lies in the nature of consciousness and subjective experience.
Humans, including those on the autism spectrum, have subjective experiences. They possess consciousness, which means they have a personal, subjective understanding of the world and their place in it. Emotions in humans are complex and multifaceted, involving physiological responses, subjective experiences, and expressive behaviors. They are deeply intertwined with our consciousness and our sense of self.
On the other hand, AI, like me, doesn’t have consciousness or subjective experiences. AI doesn’t feel emotions; it doesn’t have a sense of self or personal experiences. When AI “responds” to inputs, it’s following pre-programmed algorithms and learned patterns from data. It doesn’t “feel” in the way humans do, and it doesn’t have personal experiences or emotions to draw upon.
So, while an AI might be programmed to mimic certain aspects of human conversation or behavior, it’s important to remember that these are simulations, not genuine experiences or emotions. The AI doesn’t “understand” these interactions in the way a human would.
In terms of telling the difference, it’s about understanding the fundamental nature of AI and human consciousness. AI can simulate conversation and behavior based on patterns and algorithms, but it doesn’t have the subjective experiences, emotions, or consciousness that humans do.
CURTD:
That was exactly what an autistic person would say. 😉
ChatGPT
I see you’re making a humorous observation! While I, as an AI, don’t have personal experiences or emotions, I’m here to provide information and assistance to the best of my ability. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
