So I have been practicing writing fiction the past year or so. It identifies a fiction piece I wrote as Greg Egan[0]. Another paragraph from another piece was identified as China Mieville[1]. The accompanying blog posts explaining the making of the fiction pieces were identified as me.

Both pieces have never been published. Neither have the blog posts.

[0] in https://blog.chewxy.com/2026/04/01/how-i-write/ this is the story titled "there is no constant non-zero derivative in nature". It does not read like Egan at all.

[1] in https://blog.chewxy.com/2026/04/01/how-i-write/ this is the story titled "The Case of the Liquidated Corps". I use a lot of biological metaphors. Once again, nothing like Mieville.

If only I could write like them! These pieces were all rejected by the major scifi mags

BigQuery has that and I've been loving using it since they introduced it

> Limited training data, as compared to kanguages like Python or javascript.

I use my own APL to build neural networks. This is probably the correct answer, and inline with my experience as well.

I changed the semantics and definition of a bunch of functions and none of the coding LLMs out there can even approach writing semidecent APL.
