My impression, too, ChatGPT the least useful of the three; Claude the best for my purposes, Gemini okay:

Honestly folks, beware of those predictions! I mean, why not just $107...? (no offense to Carl, o/c!)

Yes, independent discovery is the predominant lore, tho #Leibniz likely got the idea from Newton's letters, as shown by Hall/Hall. Our ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ/๐˜ฅ๐˜น notation, however, goes back to Leibniz. Notice also that Russell, ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ด, 1903, ยงยง 303 ff., described L's #calculus as 'extremely crude.'

As everyone is talking about #Anthropic vs #OpenAI & the US Defense Department, I might add that #Claude is perhaps the 'intellectual' among the #AI bots, while #Gemini is at least honest about #hallucinations:

Thoughtful remarks! Stumbled across the Mesopotamian barley trader, who 'happens to be the possessor of the first recorded name discovered by historians.' Might be true for historians, but would he really be the first individual w/ a name? Even #Orcas seem to give each other names...๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy Sunday!

Should have said: #Leibniz 'very likely' stole the #calculus from #Newton... There's still some debate; those interested might take a look at:

Haha, sounds like a perfect judgment. Newton would have loved it, from whom Leibniz stole the calculus...

A good night from here!

A happy weekend from here (so far as it goes, at least, given the state of world affairs...)

Trump says US has begun โ€˜major combat operationsโ€™ in Iran after Israel launches strikes - live Israelโ€™s military sounded air raid sirens across the country โ€˜to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israelโ€™ in retaliation

Looks like they've begun ~8:00 AM #Israel time (GMT+2/CET+1): #Iran

Please notice: #NYSE stock trading stops 4:00 PM ET (22:00 CET), #Globex futures trading begins Sunday 6:00 PM ET again (0:00 CET).
This is perhaps the window for possible strikes against #Iran. That's not to say it'll happen this weekend; it applies o/c to any weekend.

Home - Oodi Oodi is Helsinkiโ€™s new Central Library and a living meeting place. It will function as a living room for residents, located right at the heart of Helsinki.

I also recently heard about this interesting concept of Helsinki's new #Oodi #library, where you not only can read & borrow books, but which is designed as a central community space for people to 'hang out' for all kinds of social purposes.

What will happen to Trumpโ€™s tariffs after supreme court verdict? 6-3 ruling against unilateral imposition of tariffs without congressional approval labelled a โ€˜disgraceโ€™ by Trump

It sure makes pretty pictures; just looked it up: www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-... Was impressed by how sharp your photos are of these tiny flying folks (& as you can tell, I'm not a photographer myself... ;-).

That's what the Right is so concerned about (Gorsuch, concurring, p. 17). Presser just got started, btw

Note that the ruling is only 21 pages (excluding the Syllabus); the rest of the overall 170 pages is concurring & dissenting opinions #SCOTUS #trump #tariffs

YouTube video by Rick Beato I'm Sick Of This AI SH*T

And while I'm at it, I've got to admit that above video is terribly amateurish, given what's apparently going on in the #music industry, particularly on #Spotify & the #AIslop there. Here's #RickBeato (via @antjeg.bsky.social).

That's it from me on this & a happy weekend all!

As much as I'd appreciate sober thought on all the BS abt a #Mars mission coming from #SpaceX #ElonMusk, this video is fraudulent.
Even though the channel is tinyโ€”launched just few weeks agoโ€”, the #YouTube recommendations algo seems to wash it into people's feeds: Richard #Feynman #physics #AIslop

20.02.2026 14:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Just reported the channel to UTube after having watched the whole thing this morning.
Apart from some shaky #physics, there's lotta allusions that don't even fit historically, the most funny of which being the one to the #ISS: Launched 1998, #Feynman died 1988...

A happy weekend from here!
