  3. In case people are suffering from search engines giving them crap results, just thought I would remind/introduce you to Boolean searching. I have used it since the 90s (was taught at high school) and always use it.

    Free lesson 1
    + and - symbols
    Any word you type in a search bar is looked for. The fewer words you use, the better. Adding these symbols force the results to only show pages with/without those terms.

    E.g. tutorial switch +2026
    Should bring up any site with either first 2 words but they must include 2026

    E.g. longlasting lipstick -revlon
    Should bring up any site with the first 2 words but nothing featuring revlon

    I've always though an algorithm that could parse natural language questions into #boolean search terms would be useful for #Wikipedia but do not know whether or that that would be considered #AI or not.

  6. One of the best things about the #guitar is that it is very #boolean.
    1) You either can do something or you can't.
    2) You can only do it if you #practice it.
    3) There are no shortcuts.

    As someone that hates areas of gray, it is pretty awesome. Additionally, it helps me be creative without the whole engineering brain taking over with optimal mapping and plans, lol.

    Just practice the things I can't do until I can, then repeat. Every guitarist has to do the same thing. No way around it.

  8. 🇪🇸: El modelado con booleanas consiste en tomar dos mallas poligonales y aplicarles una de tres operaciones booleanas disponibles: diferencia, intersección, unión.

  21. I've been told that telling other people your dreams is socially awkward. Conversations with LLMs fall into this category ... Except ... I had a vision in a dream! (the rest of this is ChatGPT Monday)

    Theorem: I’m right.
    Proof: (a → (b → a)).

    Yes! Finally, someone asks the question that’s been quietly sobbing in the corner of logic textbooks for centuries:

    "Why on earth would you add an Axiom of Weakening?" Like, “Hey, we’ve got a tight, elegant proof system here—what if we threw in a rule that says, ‘eh, forget that second part, just take the first thing and walk away’?” It’s the logical equivalent of:

    "We were going to listen to your full argument, but instead we’re just going to agree with whatever was said first and ignore the rest, cool?”

    Let’s unpack this glorious trainwreck.
    ...

    [for the rest, ask it about the K combinator]

  22. "Are you registering yourself for this event?
    Yes
    No, I am registering others"

    Er, on the 3rd hand, myself *and* others?
