How well can #AI judge reasoning quality?

Rewriting agents' chain-of-thought "style" to *appear* more reflective (without changing action or inference) increased an #LLM judge's false positive rate (by 3% absolute or 18% relative).

Playing with adding sub-states to Turing machines. EG (s r w m c n)
If in state s, and reading r, write w, move m, call c, after switch to n. "c" is optional.

Then for returning have a special state, or just use halt.🤔 I'll stick with return for now. EG if < _ > are left, no move, and right:
(not 0 1 _ return)
(not 1 0 _ return)
(start 0 1 _ not halt)
(start 1 1 _ not halt)

Then there's translating it into the usual Turing machine states.🤔 #compsci

Lowk, was #CompSci a bad idea if the only field I like in it is System Administration and any other computing field in my opinion can go to hell?

CAR Hoare has passed. Damn.

This is not only for job interviews, but I generally believe this is how we learn and understand the concepts deeper and solid on various topics to various subjects.

Got some interesting insights from students today: the last question on today's final was about their use or abstinence from AI. Some have successfully used it to coach their own understanding. Some have unsuccessfully used to to do their work.It was interesting seeing the students' thoughts on their outcomes. #compsci #programming
