Eclectic dabbler pursuing the modest goal of omniscience. Striving for Hasidic annihilation of self. Aramaic/Yiddish preferred but Heb/Eng are okay, I guess

@malorytowers_ @TorahKnwldgeBwl Btw Bernstein misses that the Arizal (writing in Zoharic Aramaic) is in fact quoting from... Zohar

@malorytowers_ @TorahKnwldgeBwl ברוך שהחזרת לי אבידתי!
Conspiracy theory hereby officially recanted. (Still their fault that the OCR there is so bad)

@HirshelGrinspan @TorahKnwldgeBwl @mushka_karenina Btw I have a 'conspiracy theory' that Otzar Hachochma 'disappeared' an entire article dealing with Yechabek, showing remarkably sensuous parallels in Jewish poetry from the Levant at the time. I believe I saw it there many years ago but then subsequently could never find it again

ויאכל - האט עשו גיגעסין אין האט זיך נישט גיװאשין

וישת - אין ער האט גיטרינקין אין האט קײן ברכה נישט גימאכט

ויקם - אין ער איז אויף גישטאנן אין ער האט נישט גיבענשט

וילך - אין ער איז אװעק גיגאנגין אין ער האט דיא מזוזה נישט גיקישט

@SteveAbra77 Congrats, you've been expelled from cheder

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@Moshe_Wil Davka kinda rationalist to read the Torah as mainly being about teaching values

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@Moshe_Wil @IsqaDeQofaya It's basically a kameiya in the form of a book.
1) Never been a good idea to check what's going on inside a kameiya
2) If you're not into kameiyos then you takeh don't need it in your house, but
3) Jewish history is more complex and nuanced than the Rambam made it out to be

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@Moshe_Wil @IsqaDeQofaya 'Raziel' is actually a composite of a number of unrelated works. This portion is from the 'Sefer Harazim' component which is very ancient but clearly problematic. Some have suggested that the Rambam is quoting it directly in Hilchos Avodah Zarah

I think I have the perfect compromise between team permanent DST and team changing the clock:

Standard Time in the morning and DST in the afternoon and evening.

Everyone wins!

@Joshua_Skootsky AI is mistameh familiar with the famous Ramban that halachic problems aren't math problems

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

Just my own two cents here, but this is not the metric I would personally use to grade AI. I don't want a flash model spitting out a "psak" (I personally don't really go for the human version of that either).

Introducing HalachaBench: we gave AI programs from the makers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others real semicha exam questions from Israel's Chief Rabbinate, in Hebrew, with no books and no internet.

The best scored 80 out of 100. Many scored under 11. 🧵

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@mottyj123 You're right to push back. My error wasn't peripheral; it was foundational (I actually was just using the term as shorthand for using AI for quick answers; I personally use Gemini Argon and GPT-6 set to High all the time)

[S.D. Homnick @querynotfound]

@HalachaBench Sure, I'm a fan of the idea. Just extending the 'discourse' further
