No modes… (RIP Larry Tessler)

Looks awesome! Enjoy a slice before the guests arrive, while it is freshly made!

That is a very nice wave! And great form. You will love it. Catching a wave is one of the greatest moments of happiness…

Very sorry to hear of his passing. His 3-LISP, and his incredible work on reflection in programming languages, had a profound impact on me as a graduate student (and helped shape my C-FOL work…). And as @rodneyabrooks.bsky.social says his recent work on reckoning in AI is deeply important… RIP

Oh no. The book he is holding "The Promise of Artificial Intelligence" has been profoundly influential on me these last few years. It is his most concise book, and you have to want to read it as it is dense and deep. But it is a real treasure, as was Brian himself.

That single sentence contains more insight than the entire AI-generated summary I've had fun tearing apart here. And everyone who works in the education division of OpenAI would do well to sit and think about what it means, and what education is for, what math is for.

🤤 Wow!! What are the toppings?
