Not driven by logic

You know many of us hold logical thought as something very prised. If something does not hang together logically, we’re likely to discredit it, have doubts about it and so on. We like to think that we are logical reasonable people. And in general we avoid people who are confused and illogical – simply because ...

For those who want to spend their life understanding

The Analysis Tool (also called REPL) – is JavaScript code used by Claude.ai to perform the thermal calculations and generate the data. This was invoked using the repl command.

React Component – This is the visualization code Claude.ai created as an artifact using React and the Recharts library to display the temperature profiles. This was created with the identifier “temp-profile” and used the artifact type “application/vnd.ant.react”.

It now all makes perfect sense – right? 🤣😂
