Small world. I just did a podcast on this same topic, but coming at it from a different direction, ie. me and my neighbor trying to beat the hutter prize for compression. Hutter Pr…

To me frustration and excitement are related. I've never punched the air after fixing some bug that I didn't at some point earlier get extremely frustrated at its intractability.

This is the one thing I remember from my headspace app meditation dabbling. The catching yourself and recentering is the thing.

This! Pangram is very good. They claim 1 in 10,000 fp rate. I had to change my mind on AI detectors after playing around with it. It would be interesting to hear how this detector …

Yeah, he has Steve Wozniak energy as well. Just doing things for the joy he gets from it.

This being posted years ago led me to reach out to Paul and ultimately interview him. It was super fun! You can shoot him an email from his website and he's definitely worth chatti…

Yeah, my bad. I might have hallucinated the 'force' part. But I'm reading Karp's authorized biography, The Philosopher in the Valley, and it does say names were chosen to be legibl…

My understanding is Palantir used the term, and calling teams of them "Delta Force" to make a consultative-and-service-heavy software adoption cycle make sense to US Military clien…

It's trivial to determine the best guess at any point based on what options it cuts out. But I ended up building an alphaWordle, using MCTS and a reinforcement loop just to get a f…

you may have a personal notes.txt file in a repository that you don’t want to check into git but you also don’t want to add to .gitignore because it’s unique to your workflow. The …

Quebec has lower rates then 7¢/kWh at data center / wholesale level. Quebec spot market runs negative sometimes, apparently. And Oklahoma has cheap power, and probably other places…

BQN exists and needs more attention I think. It has some modern affordances as well. https://github.com/mlochbaum/BQN https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/doc/quick.html

Exactly. Competitive pressure prevents a rug pull. In a competitive race, each breakthrough gets copied or illicitly distilled or whatever. That means the frontier models are depre…

Or put another way, the frontier models are very quickly deprecating assets, because of the competition in the market. They have to keep getting better to stay ahead of each other …

I think its more a fun coincidence. OpenClaw was OpenClaude was it not, but had to change name. When I'm dictating to Claude Code, whisper often outputs 'cloud code' or 'clawed cod…

Very cool! I never read poetics, but merely heard Aaron Sorkin explain it in his master class. But he was big on it, and explained it was "objective + obstacle = conflict." Sorkin …

The old version of this question is Aristotle’s Poetics: what makes a story feel like a complete action rather than just a sequence of events? One related thread is John Truby’s An…

One of my favorite online stories is about hatetris: Getting the World Record in HATETRIS - David & Felipe https://hallofdreams.org/posts/hatetris/ https://corecursive.com/hatetris…

Are these proofs equivalent? Pretty cool if so.

Here is the chat: don't search the internet. This is a test to see how well you can craft non-trivial, novel and creative proofs given a "number theory and primitive sets" math pro…

I like doing this as well. The 'auto merge on approval flag' PR authors can flip on GitHub breaks this flow though, as it will just merge as soon as you hit approve.

Looks great! Feature request: Google Drive for desktop. That is the feature that gives your drive as a mounted file system that stream files as you need them. It gives me the ease …
