This gave me an idea: we can take a mixture of tokenizations with learned weights, just like taking a mixture of experts with learned weights. BLT is optimized for compression, but…

Kinda cute. Just linking this somewhere so it will come up in Google.

That's so cool! Is there a way to talk on mobile? Maybe we could add a talk button in the bottom right. I might add this to my website!

I made this web app to work on my intonation listening, so I can get better at singing. I imagine it would also be useful for violinists and the like, or just anyone who wants to m…

SEEKING WORK | Boston | remote okay I'm looking for some work this month (July) before I start my PhD (math at UCLA). I may also be open to part time work after I start. Here's som…

The problem with Tau is that it's already used for a lot of other things. I like to use π with a line through it for 2π ("pi cross"). But that's less likely to catch on since Tau f…

People have proposed introducing a symbol for 2π before, most often τ. I like to go a step further and introduce a symbol for 2πi. I use pi with a dot above it, pronounced "pi dot"…

Awesome, I can't wait to try it (if it works on Linux)! Previously I used `npx http-server` for this, but I'd rather use something dependency free.

What os are you using? I found it extremely glitchy on windows, but pretty good on Linux. (It still crashes sometimes when I leave it open for a long time on Linux, but still the b…

I'm studying math at Cambridge University right now, and a lot of resources for our courses are available for free online. I do think that learning on your own is just not the same…

You should also check out http://aosabook.org/en/index.html , they've collected information on the architecture of a wide range of open source programs.

Usually when I can't be bothered to remind myself the syntax for find, my go to these days is `echo **/*pattern*`. Of course, this is mainly just for small searches.

A while ago I was trying to find a way to make my terminal scroll back up after a command executed, so that if the output was long I could read it from the top without having to sc…

I imagine Hacker News is one of the few places on the internet where I'll find people who've played Liquid Wars, which was a major inspiration for this game. For those who don't kn…

It's probably a good idea to implement this with an existing language so that you don't end up making your own programming language. For example you could just make the whole docum…

That reminds me of a function I have in my environment called `dg` that does `cd` then `ls`. The name `dg` is short for dig, since the name `dig` was taken. I also sometimes write …
