Karma: 7,417

Computer scientist, applied mathematician. Based in the eastern part of England.

Fan of control theory in general and Perceptual Control Theory in particular. Everyone should know about these, whatever subsequent attitude to them they might reach. These, plus consciousness of abstraction dissolve a great many confusions.

I created the Insanity Wolf Sanity Test. There it is, work out for yourself what it means.

Change ringer since 2022. It teaches learning and grasping abstract patterns, memory, thinking with your body, thinking on your feet, fixing problems and moving on, always looking to the future and letting both the errors and successes of the past go.

As of May 2025, I have yet to have a use for LLMs. (If this date is more than six months old, feel free to remind me to update it.)
