“Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.” -- Edsger W. Dijkstra
Current personal projects:
- newt-agent, an experimental custom harness with many more knobs than most agent-harnesses have; as well as an experimental distributed Object Capability (OCAP) permissions system designed to simplify authority delegation in agentic swarms
- Making Minds? an introductory course on Artificial Intelligence targeted to religious leaders and philosophers that will give the mathematical basis of Statistical Models and how Large (statistical) Language Models work so they can make informed decisions about their own positions on the subject.
