September 6, 2025 The other day, I asked Claude how to do something using a particular Ruby library, and it hallucinated three nonexistent methods in a row. We can ask “why do language models do this?” but/and we can also ask, “why doesn’t Robin do this?” I think it’s because I don’t only know things: I remember learning them. My knowledge is sedimentary, and I can “feel” the position and solidity of different facts and ideas in that mass. I can feel, too, the airy disconnect of

It’s long been clear that the iPhone Air was going to be a beautiful device, but based on reactions so far, it seems that people are even more impressed than expected by the sleek look of the all-new iPhone. It’s usually the two Pro models that get all the love, but this year it seems all anyone wants to talk about is the iPhone Air … I said beforehand that I very much expected to be admiring the aesthetics of the new phone.

Next month, Microsoft is ending support for home editions of its Windows 10 operating system officially. While users may extend support by one year -- business customers get three -- the number of users who will take up Microsoft's offer is unclear.

There is even a tool for that that lets you do all that with a local account and as little interaction as possible. A
