What I learned using private LLMs to write an undergraduate history essay
I used private and public LLMs to answer an undergraduate essay question I spent a week working on nearly 30 years ago, in an effort to see how the experience would have changed in that time. There were two rules:
Scientists begin building highly accurate digital twin of our planet
A digital twin of our planet is to simulate the Earth system in future. It is intended to support policy-makers in taking appropriate measures to better prepare for extreme events. A new strategy paper by European scientists and ETH Zurich computer scientists shows how this can be achieved.
The Sky's the limit: AI automation on Mac
I’ve been sitting on this draft for a few days now, partly because I thought it would turn down the bitterness, and partly because I kept asking myself ...

Visual Studio’s IntelliSense list can now steer GitHub Copilot code completions
GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio now works with IntelliSense. v1.85 or above is needed, users may need to manually update.
Can LLMs model real-world systems in TLA+?
Editors’ note: AI has been actively pushing the frontier of applied formal methods for computing systems. In this article, the Specula team wrote about their experience of evaluating LLMs on modeling system code, the basic capability for agentic model checking, using TLA+, a specification language f
Batch computing and the coming age of AI systems
There’s a lot of excitement right now about human-in-the-loop systems supercharged by foundation models including chat assistants ( ChatGPT ), word processing ( Microsoft Office ), graphic design ( Stable Diffusion ), and code editing ( Copilot ). However, these systems only begin to scratch the surface of the role…

Understanding Convolutions in Probability
In this post we take a look a how the mathematical idea of a convolution is used in probability. In probability a convolution is a way to add two random variables. Using a slightly ridiculous, mad-science, example we walk through multiple way to compute a convolution and ultimate arrive at the formu
