    AI Breaks the Rules | From Joseph Street, Cracow

    The answer was right. The AI still broke the rules. Today’s Daily Dose comes from Joseph Street in Kazimierz, Cracow, beside a former governor’s residence with an imperial connection. On the way to collect my packages, I’m looking at a question that matters whenever we delegate work to AI: can we trust how it gets…

    I recorded this from Plac Wolnica in Kraków — a place with a history that is basically Krak for my brain.

Its name comes from forum liberum — “free market” or “free trade.” The interesting part: once a week, on Saturdays, meat could be sold here outside the established butcher stalls. Non-guild butchers were…

  • Sanskrit योग (yoga): meaning, yoke cognates, and Matthew 11:30

    The Sanskrit word yoga (योग) means yoking (Monier-Williams, 1899, p. 856). The same root is shared by modern English ‘yoke’ from Old English geoc (Pokorny, 1959, p. 508), as well as dialectal Polish igo and Ukrainian іго (iho) ‘yoke’ (Derksen, 2008, p. 209). A word derived from this root does not appear in the Lemko…
