@sksmn89 @ChenueHer Agreed, and calling the threats “potential” is nonsense. It is either a threat or it isn’t, and this was clearly serious enough to trigger the closures. That phrasing appears designed to limit exposure and liability, but it undermines clarity and weakens the (late) response.

@silentblossom_ Parentheses, Exponents but Multiplication and Division — same rank, left to right
Addition and Subtraction — same rank, left to right PEMDASnot true - includes hierarchy Addition then subtraction is not true (they are ranked the same just moving left to right) PEDMSA also true

I just taught my kids trig in < 5 minutes. From circle to wave in an instant - vibe coded with Anthropic in under an hour. Try it out and tell me: Is this the future of textbooks, or should it be the present?

Riffing off this incredible #つぶやきProcessing post! Added controls + color modes to explore how trigonometric functions create these organic jellyfish flows. Simple sine/cosine math → complex natural beauty 🌊 #generativeart #Math #Claude

@Grady_Booch The goal is superintelligence. While there is doubt this can be achieved, it is something of an arms race, like the atom bomb. If achievable (debatable), the country/entity to possess would no doubt have an immense advantage, superior to the Bomb, and it could tip the scales

@tedlieu 'What is truth?' said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. - Bacon, quoting the Gospel of John. Funny they knew more then (both of them, and Nietzsche, too). What is progress?

Is #AI #Creative? How do you define that? Synthesizing info in new, unexpected and original ways. New #OpenAI tools: https://t.co/2aXQXwtBNM
