I love Art Nouveau and all things Dutch. Proud Canadian. I’m a new sailor, have a woodworking shop & make fine pens. I’m interested in many crafts, too.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

European governments are not only failing people seeking protection, they’re also punishing those who try to fill that dangerous gap.

We face a climate emergency, a housing/affordabikity/homelessness emergency, a public health emergency, an equity emergency, an infrastructure cost emergency, all tied to too low densities, not enough housing, & far too much car dependency.

Despite a well-recognized housing emergency in Puget Sounds, cities continue to wield their emergency powers in ways that are related to...anything but that crisis.
A latest example: Bellevue is considering an emergency control tonight to protect the "character" of Old Bellevue from development.
