#AndrejKarpathy joined us at #AI #StartupSchool on June 17th (2025) with a clear message: #software is changing, again.

He sees a shift underway: we’ve entered the era of “Software 3.0,” where #M
#NaturalLanguage becomes the new #programming interface and #models do the rest. He explores what this shift means for #developers, #users, and the #design of #software itself— that we're not just using new #tools, but building a new kind of computer.”

Is there a cognate lookup that doesn’t rely on a base language? There are plenty of multilingual options that force you to select an input or output option. Are there any that search close-enough words (whether cognates or simply spelled similarly)?

@mattia I want to know if these exist too, this is a really, really good idea, to have one that combines all languages.

LLMs are the closest thing we have so far but the accuracy is very low. And really, a tool such as this should be no more complex than a spell checker, and so a lookup should only take up a tiny fraction of the amount of memory and compute power an LLM requires for local inference.

Firing up #Inform7 on my #Mac to write another #interactiveFiction #game. Getting stuck into the prologue. This will be a much bigger game than I've written before, including 7 main sections in the #code. It is going to take some time. So best get on with it sooner rather than later! Excited to be back #coding. There's something magical about using this #declarative / #naturalLanguage / #objectOriented #programming language and IDE. #GameDev #IndieGame #TextGames #Parser #TextAdventure #Inform

#WolframAlpha as the Way to Bring #Computational Knowledge #Superpowers to #ChatGPT

“For decades there’s been a dichotomy in thinking about AI between “#statistical approaches” of the kind ChatGPT uses, and “#symbolic approaches” that are in effect the starting point for Wolfram| Alpha. But now—thanks to the success of ChatGPT—as well as all the work we’ve done in making Wolfram|Alpha understand #NaturalLanguage—there’s finally the opportunity to combine these to make something much stronger than either could ever achieve on their own.”
