Been brushing up on the discourse and I’ve decided that every single person is richer than me is a greedy bastard and every single person poorer than me is a loser. I and only I have the exact right amount of money.

At an aquarium in Japan, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes

Too often, we applaud overdoing it. #Neuroscience suggests we don't chronically overachieve, overthink or overfunction because we like it; we do it because we're #anxious and #afraid. Thanks to @WSJ for featuring my essay. wsj.com/health/wellness/for-…

Essay | For Happiness in the New Year, Stop Overdoing Everything

Overachieving and overthinking are ways we try to feel more secure, but they can seriously hurt our mental and physical health

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

"If the repo cannot explain itself, faster code creates faster uncertainty." Last week I published a research note from a repOptics run: The repo is the bottleneck now... darketype.hashnode.dev/2026-…

The repo is the bottleneck now

i keep coming back to the same pattern. AI has made it much easier to produce code. that part is obvious now. the less obvious part is what gets expo

The finding that keeps landing for me: AI can generate code faster than teams can maintain shared confidence in the repo. I’m exploring this through repOptics (rep-optics.onrender.com) as a way to make repo health legible for builders, PMs, QA, and technical leaders.

repOptics — Scan your Repo. Get a Score.

Intent-aware GitHub repo scoring. Three headline scores in ~60 seconds. No signup required.

The new constraint is repo health: clear architecture visible decisions dependency risk governance signals deployment readiness backlog hygiene I’d love to hear where you are feeling this most right now: review, QA, architecture drift, backlog hygiene, or ???

Seven-oh-seven, mirrors in the card draw—twice the blade finds its mark. Ten pierces the heart, Two weighs the choice ahead— swords demand answers. What speaks through repeat? The cards insist you listen— truth won't stay silent.

I'm happy to let you know that @BeatSaber will be available on @steam_games & @OculusRift pretty soon! We will go for early access, because there's no way we can add everything we want, in less than a year from now. The other platforms will be announced when we are ready ;)

4 of the most confusing terms in AI, defined: Model: a blob of parameters, written during training. Does next-token prediction and nothing else. Stateless. Harness: everything around the model that turns it into an agent: tools, system prompt, context window management, etc. Environment: the world the agent acts on. Anything outside the harness that the agent perceives and acts on via tools. Agent: a model, harnessed, in an environment. --- Opus is a model. Claude Code and Claude Web are different agents, because their harnesses differ - even though the models are the same. The file system is an environment. MCP servers add tools to the environment.
