We finally did it — The Barn Philosopher is recording in the new barn studio! There’s still painting to finish, wires dangling everywhere, and a door that’s more of a dream than a reality, but we’re calling it progress. For Shelby, who’s known for starting five projects and finishing half of one, this might be his biggest accomplishment yet. It’s a big milestone for the show — a real, almost-finished space to call home… as long as we don’t have to delay recording to actually finish it. Listen now on

The provided text is an essay by Greg Twemlow discussing the convergence of his philosophical framework for AI interaction, the Context & Critique Rule™, with empirical research from the Stanford–Polygence TeachLM project.

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Ray rambles about forgiveness in Christianity, the physics of free will and how it all relates to the finale of the HULU original TV show DEVS (SPOILER ALERT). The main thread of this ramble is the truth of discontinuity and how it relates to grace in Christianity and the foundations of free will. This is the thesis of the show DEVS. The instantiation of uncertainty as an eternal truth of reality. In the Bible, Jesus is humiliated, c...

In writing a comment response to Wei Dai, I wanted to point to a concept that I realised I hadn't published. So I thought I should practice what I preach, and put the idea out as a post.

When I was young, I used to build those plastic model airplanes you can find at hobby stores. When they were finished, instead of putting them on a shelf, my dad helped me to hang them from the ceiling; so, it looked like a dogfight between an A-10 and a P-47 in the corner of my room.One morning, I woke up to the sound of my dad’s voice saying, “Joey, Joey! Get up! There’s an earthquake!”Los Angeles and its San Andreas fault are famous for earthquakes. We lived through several that were 5-plus on
