I think algebra too - it requires less understandng than geometry. You operate at a higher level, and in a sense, don't really know what you're doing.

Geometry existed for centuries before Euclid's formalization. Similar for algebra before Al'Khwarizmi. People were using logic before Boole.

"External Intelligence" is not new. But we are still in the informal stage of LLM use.

This beaurcratic development feels like turning a super-tanker that's connected to a hundred other super-tankers. While I accept the priority of back-compatibility, I personally lack the working memory to manage it, while creative problem-solving.

The non-nullability issue seems to be about performance, not cognitive load (search the article for "writes atomically"), though not articulated.

Bloom's 2 sigma problem solved at last! But that's overestimating LLMs, our zeitgeist.

AI can't detect AI, not because AI undetectable, but because it lacks judgment. Its shtick is random generation; the proverbial monkey on a typewriter.

Fewer features = smaller frame, easier to satisfy, better customer targeting.
