My life as a programmer began forty-five years ago. And how many times during those forty-five years have I heard, with great fanfare, the imminent arrival of a new programming language that would revolutionise everything?
I truly felt that only when object-oriented languages took hold. But even then, they never really challenged the reign of the eternal “if … then” and “for … next”. So many rehashings of the same ideas, and so much…

The discussion of my article The Holographic Present: A Primer of a Cross‑Flow Resonance Theory of Consciousness got off to a flying start, with CloClo, Lagarde Georges, and others emphasising the importance of sensory deprivation for CFRT. It immediately struck me that this new perspective could be crucial. So I asked LLMs…

Does sensory deprivation constitute major support to my thesis?

Hmm, the user is asking whether sensory deprivation supports their Cross-Flow Resonance Theory (CFRT) of…
