Why Computation Can’t Create—And Where It Hits the Logic Ceiling.
While logic can rearrange the pieces of an existing puzzle, it cannot explain the spark that creates the pieces themselves.

"the operations analysts did not impose this logic on the military; the military was already converting operational experience into systematic procedure, and had been for decades. Nobody stopped making judgments. But the judgments were no longer about whether the bombing served a strategic purpose. They were about how to measure it and how to optimise around those measurements."
Excel didn’t kill accountants; it gave them better tools. Yet, with AI, we’ve abandoned this logic in favor of a collective fantasy. We’re treating a sophisticated calculator as a human replacement rather than a human multiplier.

“For the past year, the world has been in a state of chaos. The United States, in the grips of its mad pirate king, has installed tariffs, removed tariffs, made deals, overturned deals, made threats, backed off threats, and all with the randomness of an infant that has not quite achieved object permanence. Nonetheless, a logic is starting to emerge, a logic that explains America’s actions: the logic of the rapist.”
So we have an alternative septic system (because we're on top of rocky hill), the system using an aerator (basically a motor that kicks in occasionally) and uses bacteria to break down waste quickly.
The aerator broke (well, the logic board did) and so we're having to replace it, and they're here today to do it.
Interestingly the old system (from ca. 2010) had a logic board and a computer and stuff—but the new system is all purely analog & draws much less power.

Thinking about making my SwiftUI code cross platform, beyond Apple.
I don’t really want SwiftUI on every platform and dealing with the impedance mismatch of SwiftUI and the host - despite having a few OSS engines that do it.
What I have come to realize is that using SwiftUI @Observables is all you need: swap the actual front end for a tightly coupled UI to the host platform, but keep your logic shared.
And you can have an LLM do the heavy lifting for you.

1. Use "globs" in the specification.
2. Decide that "glob" may be ambiguous, so add severe restrictions on what's supported.
3. Because of the severe restrictions, people may have reinvented the wheel instead of using system `glob` module.
4. Since people may have used their custom implementations, just relaxing the spec is a problem.

OK, I think I have a reasonably efficient table driven implementation of the 100baseTX scrambler LFSR, capable of predicting future scrambler states with offsets of up to 2^30-1 in constant time.
I still don't grok the math. I ended up doing this by essentially bruteforcing the algebraic solution, creating a class representing a 11th-order polynomial with boolean coefficients symbolically and evaluating the LFSR in a loop 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. times.

The entire machinery of online discourse around building and creating has been so thoroughly captured by entrepreneurial "logic"
that we've lost the language to describe what it feels like to simply make a thing that helps someone,
give it away, and move on with your life.
I've been feeling this for a while now, and I suspect a lot of folks who have the itch to build feel it too, even if they haven't articulated it.
Regular reminder that the only way to deal with fascists is to socially ostracize and making fun of them.

Rewriting Systems on Arbitrary Monoids
Eduardo Magalh\~aes

arXiv:2601.10564v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce monoidal rewriting systems (MRS), an abstraction of string rewriting in which reductions are defined over an arbitrary ambient monoid rather than a free monoid of words. This shift is partly motivated by logic: the class of free monoids is not first-order axiomatizable, so "working in the free setting" cannot be treated internally when applying first-order methods to rewriting presentations.
To analyze these systems categorically, we define $\mathbf{NCRS_2}$ as the 2-category of Noetherian Confluent MRS. We then prove the existence of a canonical biadjunction between $\mathbf{NCRS_2}$ and $\mathbf{Mon}$.
Finally, we classify all Noetherian Confluent MRS that present a given fixed monoid. For this, we introduce Generalized Elementary Tietze Transformations (GETTs) and prove that any two presentations of a monoid are connected by a (possibly infinite) sequence of these transformations, yielding a complete characterization of generating systems up to GETT-equivalence.

My most favorite subgenre of AI stan is the "AI software engineer" [programmers aren't engineers, engineering has formal requirements like e.g. engineering ethics].
Their logic goes like this:
"LLMs can generate a TODO-list application that pretty much works and only has a few hundred subtle bugs; therefore—as programming is the hardest and by far most intellectually taxing occupation that a human being such as myself can strive for to be an expert in—they obviously will excel and far outshine any human at any of those other, lesser, activities such as writing or art!"

Lazypost, is there a good tool to fix (as much as possible) somewhat broken audio from a CD that has some read errors (I've fixed surface of CD and read with EAC to extract as much info as possible, you can hear everything but it sounds a bit like a crackling record).
I am not looking for CD reading software (EAC already spent 70 hours on extracting the one track I'm interested in).
I am looking for fixing errors in a ripped lossless audio track, for example through interpolation and/or specifically tuned ML algorithms.
If helpful, I have access to Logic Pro and to Adobe tools.
