The word “hydrogen” is Greek for water-former. Hydro-gen. Never once have I noticed the obvious etymology.
Now I wonder how many other obvious things I am missing. Many rabbit holes to explore. (But then, my name is Warren. What do you expect?)

Cargo Cult AI - ACM Queue
“Cargo Cult AI” by Edlyn V. Levine is a good review of the current strengths and weaknesses. I don’t agree that AGI must be possible. But this is a good place to get up to speed. https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?ref=rss&id=3595860

I am quite fond of neilhimself. It fits so well with your voice on social media. NeilGaiman.com, not so much. Too corporate branding.

So… web development, relearning splines, editing the intro essay, thinking through the “History of Science” as myth to illustrate the next essay, writing the next, next project in Haskell. I think I’m having fun. Hard to tell.

Need to reopen Spline for the graphics. Not looking forward to that, but the Practice Rationality logo image just won’t let go of my imagination.
