Glad I didn’t spend the last ten years on that problem! As my CERN advisor suggested :)

Many mindfulness practices seem to direct attention at two place at once, to quiet the inner voice. Perhaps this relates to more than just speech, but to attention itself. George G…

I actually have experience with that stuff, “old school” deep learning and ML as well. Is that something worth joining the fray with I wonder? Or is it as you point out really only…

The meeting between my magnetic Apple Watch strap and the edge of the MacBook did the same for me, involuntarily. Apparently the magnets in these straps are quite abrasive.

Would the AI “GW-scale” clusters be able to run the Top500 benchmarks meaningfully? And what might be the outcome?

I have not reason to defend these people or their actions, but can we know their future success was not formed by their formative experiences at Id? I think we undervalue hardship …

At least it was just a game company :) I find that initiative and grit combined is an exceedingly rare commodity, and it do power progress. We can always be picky about the worth o…

Yeah. My point is that this is the double edged sword of youth vs. experience. We’ll never know if the world would have been better of Id software were managed by more tempered, mi…

I’m sitting here in Denmark having been affected by these geeks. They may not have built the Pantheon, but surely they have channeled a group of people’s creativity towards somethi…

Young energy shouldn’t be apologized. Apparently Bill Gates had that psycho energy too, Jobs and many others too. On a civilizational scale it seems like a net benefit that young, …

Not just an IDE, look at the prospect, they’ll soon lead in farming, genetics, AGI and teleportation. Remember to price in the TAM of that!

I attend “The Party” in Aars, Denmark for a few years around 2000. It was at the crossroads of broadband, but got to taste the demoscene vs gamer experience. It was magnificent. Th…

Thank you, great spotted. I did make a CLI tool for it, but it was a bit too cumbersome to distributed it via the App Store for the first release, so I dropped it from the release …

We did https://markant.md with TextKit 1, flies through multi-megabytes markdown files with latex rendering etc. took some scaffolding (like only rendering attachments when they ar…

Maybe it was good weather [1] on the isles for once? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period

Uncool or not, working at a place with a confluence of technical problems to solve, sounds wonderful.

I have a feeling this goes waaaay back, but was covered by claims of authority, in a time where merit and authority were intertwined. My pet peeve is that management is a transfera…

If we see our contributions as brownian motion rather than preconceived trajectories, then, rather than focusing on the Gausses, Einsteins, Patons as providing singular progress, t…

I built a Markdown viewer https://markant.md to go with the flow rather than against it. I also cooked up a mew format, which basically bundles markdown and images into “Markbooks”…

By now I wish people just published their prompts, preferably with their motivations. At least tat part may be original.

It is at least Apple only for now, as it is a native app. I'm working on an iOS and iPad version. What would you like it to work on?

The concept of “absorptive capacity” our ability to gain from the information presented to us, is a key factor in education. If we humans remain agents of our own lives (which I fi…
