I remember writing a little screensaver for the NDS. Got me into programming in a way

That seems like it's within striking distance of competitive, no? You get some major advantages in size and production automation. Perhaps it's ok for it to die sooner if you can g…

We already have had that ossified layer thing multiple times in mathematics. Formalisms change. For example, prior to vector calculus writing out multidimensional PDEs was tedious.…

Have to say marimo is excellent and is a breath of fresh air compared to Jupyter!

Over a century old! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect

The UK's tier 2 and the EU's blue card are strictly better than the US H-1B to green card mechanism and have been for over a decade. You face no 7% per country capping on naturaliz…

I wish I wasn't medically barred from having a pilot's license. Not for the pay, but I just like the idea of flying. Unfortunately, I cannot. I recommend people use their salaries …

In the integral, the h_m(s) are chebyshev polynomials of the first kind

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar-based_navigation is a fun one, if not that practical

This paragraph alone is fundamentally better than the page or so of text in the blog post. I'm not sure what it is about the style of technical writing I've seen lately but just di…

Rent seeking is the name of the game for much of b2b SaaS. MCP is an attempt to make that easy, but the issue here is that a lot of the companies offering integration could be disi…

Hooray, finally we are getting the geometric analysis of embedding spaces we need. Information geometry and differential geometry is finally getting its moment in the sun!
