One thing I love about doing native apps vs. web stuff: most good native apps look the same, that's the whole point of a carefully-designed platform UI toolkit, so nobody can snipe at you like "oh that's just tailwind slop".

In the long-long ago people used to snipe at startups for using Bootstrap and looking like every other Bootstrap site, they weren't displaying enough individual artistic integrity for their business expense account management tool.

But in the antediluvian times when most graphical applications were native, done in, like, Motif or System 7 toolbox, looking similar to every other app was an explicit design goal. It still sort of is: you can clock a ported Qt or Electron app p. quickly.

I wrote about AI in academia. "PhD-level thinking", LLM bias, grunt work, alignment, AGI, data center water use, AI politics -- something for everyone.

Big news: @lcamtuf has joined us.
Michal has been advising us since the earliest days of the company, helping us navigate everything from difficult strategic decisions to situations that were difficult primarily because we created them ourselves.
As the business has grown, so has the number of problems that can only be solved by asking, "What would Michal think of this?" We're delighted that he has now joined us officially and can no longer pretend not to see our messages.
We're also excited to share that Michal has granted us an exclusive world-wide license to commercialize his groundbreaking C/C remote dependency technology.
Existing customers are encouraged to begin planning their migration to our next-generation implementation, which has been carefully re-engineered with Claude in PHP to maximize nostalgia value for some of our hackers.
Welcome aboard, Michal!

Consider taking a break from CLIs and TUIs for a bit. Frontier agents do native UI just as easily --- in some cases more easily --- than TUIs. A lot of dev tooling and process is just path dependence. Build a real UI!

I was led to believe new Boards of Canada would be experimental and annoying but it's the same Scottish Techno it's always been.

Oof totally forgot about the Mad Men episode that opens with the Decemberists song. Nothing in the universe has aged worse than Decemberists songs in TV shows.

This re Matthew Green's most recent thingy. I'm surprised he's able to get as much play out of COT blobs as he did, not because I know what to do with them but because I feel like not making them replayable is kind of table stakes?

Like breaking these kinds of bugs/affordances is most of what the AD in AEAD is for.

So, I just knocked out matrix gradients, the last lesson in MathAcademy's Machine Learning course (abbreviated stat linear multivariable), after doing MFI II III over the last year. My reward:

Welp, it has more for me. NGL, this is what STARTING MathAcademy was like like year. This time, though, I'm ready.

Oh, nice. When you switch out of Machine Learning into full MVC, the MVC stuff you did in ML is credited to the new course (but for some reason I still have to take a placement exam? feh!)
