RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116643132796222151
In 1990 Dr. Peter Lee's 15-212 course at #CarnegieMellon introduced me to Scheme. It's also when I first came to comprehend the power of #Emacs and #EmacsLisp.
In the first hour, Professor Lee demonstrated elegantly that everything is a list: data are lists and programs are lists. Every list returns a value, and functions are just lists that do calculations! Functions can return lists, of course, and so you can write functions that return functions!
I ran to the lab to hack Lisp: it wasn't in your pocket, it was in a room worth more than your parents' house. Nothing had ever seemed more natural: write, evaluate, repeat. Hack a nugget, nest lists, add parentheses, hack bigger things. But the magic thing where you write code that returns code remained a mystery: we did lots of cool stuff in that course, but we never got to macros.
Until 2026.
The surprise? The surprise is that as each decade passes, I grow to cherish lifelong learning as more and more precious.

The second summer GIS internship posting is now live. One of the two positions has already been filled, so I encourage interested students to apply as soon as possible. Currently, these two positions are open to on and off campus students. https://cmu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CMU/job/GIS-Intern---Enterprise-Space-Information-Management--ESIM-_2024502

«Künstliche Intelligenz — KI-Assistenten verringern menschliche Problemlösungskompetenz:
Eine Studie von CMU, Oxford und MIT belegt - Wer KI für direkte Lösungen nutzt, verliert an Ausdauer und scheitert öfter an Aufgaben.»Das KI nicht intelligent ist, hatte ich schon mehrfach kritisiert aber ja der überhobene Selbstglaube ist mal wider deren Verkaufsargument.

Supervising Ralph Wiggum: pairing a design agent with a separate metacognitive critic beats a plain retry loop AND a self-monitoring agent on battery-pack design.
Metacognitive prompts alone don't help; moving them to a different agent does. Converges with ReMA's math-reasoning result: a separately parameterized head for meta-level work outperforms one model doing both.

Based on a part of our recent study #LPI at night moves pedestrians out of the dark curb zone and help pedestrians get peak semi-cylindrical #illuminance for incoming traffic occurs around 2–3 seconds into crossing. At a #walking speed of 1.4 m/s, our #SALUSLux simulation indicates an ideal LPI of 3–7 seconds. For pedestrians facing turning conflicts (and I personally experience this a lot even near #CMU campus -*-), peak visibility on the far side occurs around 7 sec

Hive mind: Do I know anyone from the #CarnegieMellon class of 1996 who's coming to Pittsburgh for their reunion next month?

🤖 Welcome to the 21st-century education, where #CMU generously offers you a "minimal free version" of their AI course—two weeks late, minus the quizzes and exams, but hey, you can still submit those autograded assignments! 📝🎓 It's like getting the crumbs of an AI cake, with a side of #FOMO. 🍰👉📚
