Imagine this: One day on a walk in your neighborhood, you see several men in construction gear. “What are you guys up to?” you ask. “We’re rebuilding this dilapidated house!” the group’s leader responds. “It used to be beautiful, but the previous owners let it fall into disrepair.” Admittedly, the home has been an eyesore for years. But as you watch the contractors at work, confusion and alarm set in. One guy is hauling furniture out of the living room and setting it on fire in the driveway. An

The Crown introduced a proprietary lever escapement in 2015 — the Chronergy escapement. Even with ultra-optimized geometry like in the Chronergy system, any lever escapement has a few fundamental flaws. The most significant of which is the lever's inherent friction and, therefore, need for lubrication. Just by glancing at

Recently I had a lot of fun playing with the Prospero Challenge by Matt Keeter. The challenge is to render a 1024x1024 image of a quote from The Tempest by Shakespeare. The input is a mathematical formula with 7866 operations, which is evaluated once per pixel. What made the challenge particularly enticing for me personally was the fact that the formula is basically a trace in SSA-form – a linear sequence of operations, where every variable is assigned exactly once.

A more recent paper out of MIT pours cold water on that hyperbolic notion, drawing the conclusion that AI doesn’t, in fact, hold any coherent values to speak of.
