The funniest thing about all the LLM nonsense is that exactly the people who think of themselves as the most logical and rational are falling for it because it pretends to be human

AI is Dumber on Mondays
It's Monday morning. My coffee is hot, my IDE is open, and Claude Code just suggested I fix a bug by... creating the exact same bug in a different file. Cursor is hallucinating function names that don't exist. Codex thinks undefined is a valid return type in TypeScript.
Did the AI catch a case of the Mondays?
🤔

@… Yes, exactly! And I think that is closer to what Alexander meant about patterns, TBH.
But honestly, I don’t think he did a stellar job explaining patterns, and his other work is way better.
IIRC A City Is Not A Tree covers changes in the system over time (and how observing the system changes the system), even though its main point is that you …

Partial Functional Dynamic Backdoor Diffusion-based Causal Model
We introduce a Partial Functional Dynamic Backdoor Diffusion-based Causal Model (PFD-BDCM), specifically designed for causal inference in the presence of unmeasured confounders with spatial heterogeneity and temporal dependency. The proposed PFD-BDCM framework addresses the restrictions of the existing approaches by uniquely integrating models for complex spatio-temporal dynamics with the analysis of multi-resolution variables. Specifically, the framework systematically mitigates confounding bi…

Speaking of crypto books, just finished https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32073021-life-after-google and it might be the most idiotic book I've read that I actually finished. I usually toss those to the side pretty quickly into the book but it was hilarious to read …

Electric work apparently finished I think. Power only off for fifteen minutes or so.
As said, the existing sockets can't be removed for some reason but he's left 'em live rather than a blank face-plate.
Plenty of electric sockets in this room now! Fourteen! And eighteen USB power sockets too!
Face-plates not attached to the sockets yet, do that after the plastering I believe. So they look a bit shoddy for now.
Next up is presumably wall paper stripping and painting but electrician didn't seem to know if he was doing that or someone else or if it'll be done tomorrow so I guess that'll all be a surprise.

On the Tamagawa number conjecture for modular forms twisted by anticyclotomic Hecke characters
Let $f \in S_{2r}(Γ_0(N))$ be a normalized newform of weight $2r$ which is good at $p$. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of class number one in which every prime divisor of $pN$ splits. Let $χ$ be an anticyclotomic Hecke character of $K$ which is crystalline at the primes above $p$ and such that $L(f,χ,r)\neq 0$. We prove that the Tamagawa number conjecture for the critical value $L(f,χ,r)$ follows from the Iwasawa main conjecture for the Bertolini-Darmon-Prasanna $p$-adic $L$-functi…

Holographic Wilson Loop One-point Functions in ABJM Theory
We compute the correlation function between a circular half-BPS Wilson loop (or straight Wilson line) and a local operator in ABJM theory utilizing its M-theory description. The local operator can be a $1/3$-BPS single-trace chiral primary operator or the stress-energy tensor. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, these correlators are dual to fluctuations of a probe M2-brane in $AdS_4 \times S^7/\mathbb{Z}_k$. We derive analytic results for both cases and compare them with existing results based o…

@… Possibly! I think it’s quite an uncommon abbreviation though.

@… Yes, I think you’re right! More emulation and hosting several versions of software/libraries, less “we must preserve everything forever” plz.
