I’m not good at prioritizing tasks, but there is one rule I follow and that I can justify very well: If something worked yesterday and is broken today, I will drop whatever I’m doing and fix that thing.

Eight months ago I was producing roughly 90% human written code and 10% AI written code.

The book Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators’ Revolution is fascinating.

It started off a few months ago, when my iPad suddenly couldn’t play videos any more that it had recorded.

I made a website to explore FRED data broken down by US president and party.

I really like Semantle because I noticed that progress is similar to the description in Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective by Kenneth Stanley.

I submitted a tiny patch to flash attention.

If you look at the source code of a modern open source LLM, it looks very similar to the transformer described in the “Attention is all you need” paper from 2017.

Daylight savings just ended so this post is coming exactly too late.

I’ve wanted to write about this since the studio closed a year ago.
