Instrument standup: Bought a bass amp yesterday and my son schemed up a plan to trade in my old Epiphone Thunderbird and an unused banjo, for a Fender Jazz bass. So we did that. And now I have a new bass guitar. Cool. Related

Artificial intelligence has unleashed a torrent of cheating on campus and created chaos in the job application process, as both students and employers use large language models: the former, to write hundreds of AI-assisted applications; the latter, to screen those AI-written applications with AI-written filters, thus removing from the process of finding a first job those procedural frictions sometimes known as "people."

A concrete example of how AI advances in solving key open problems could inihibit the future development of a mathematical field can be found in the global regularity problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (as well as its counterpart for the Euler equations). Until recently, this problem was on track to be one of the most promising examples of an AI-assisted success story, in which AI tools could be used both to solve the problem and to set the stage for the next round of progress in the field. While the problems remain open for now, there is now an increasingly realistic scen… Related

I wrote a new essay about a strange inversion in AI-assisted programming. Old-school programming made sustained attention the scarce resource. You entered a tight loop with the machine, and the difficulty itself kept you engaged. Agentic coding changes that. To reach the same intensity, you keep more work in flight, run more agents, and consume more inference. Flow becomes throughput, then the usage meter appears. There are legitimate economic reasons for limits. But when higher plans are explicitly sold as freedom from interruption, uninterrupted access to your own momentum becomes the produ… kennethreitz.org

Memory-level parallelism: AMD is the king When your program asks for memory that is not in cache, the processor has to go to RAM. That trip costs on the order of 100 nanoseconds. On a 3 GHz core, that is about 300 cycles of doing nothing. Memory latency has not…

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
