I stopped keeping wine notes and built a Brain that learns my palate. Here is what happened when it watched me buy a bottle, and why a model beats a notebook.

This is a short letter to my younger self. I know you’re determined. I know it’s hard. I know you feel weak. I know you feel behind. I know you think that having that black belt around your waist will give you proof that you are not so weak, that you have excelled, that you have...

In my early twenties, I watched a bunch of the original Doctor Who series. PBS broadcast it late on weekend nights, and I stayed up to watch it whenever I was free. The Doctor was an intentionally obscure character, arguably a madman, who travelled with attractive people (usually of the gender I...

The reviews are starting to come in, and they're... not good. Not good at all. Donald Trump's "Memorandum Of Understanding" with Iran is not exactly a big hit with anyone, it seems. The emerging consensus is that Trump pretty much threw away any advantage we had gained over the course of his...

Over the years, I've tried a bunch of different approaches to emulate the mouse from the keyboard. A lot of them end up falling into this unfortunate category, where they end up more so a gimmick than something that's comfortable to use over the real mouse. Finally, this is not the case with my...

A supervision tree is a precise contract. It's a list of child specs and a handful of flags that tell the runtime exactly who restarts whom, when, and how hard to try before giving up. Most people treat it as boilerplate copied from the last project; they use Supervisor, paste a children list,...

Recently I stopped a group of flaky tests from running in CI. 60% of CI runs were failing because of this group, which was unsustainable. Three weeks later I was able to restore that group to CI, with 0% failures on main1 resulting. Our “non-flaky” tests now give more false positives than the...

Over the last few weeks, attention has (rightly) been focused on three potentially trillion dollar companies all lined up to go public, and much of the discussion has been about what SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI are worth (and will be priced at). In parallel, there has been a debate about indices...

Yesterday, the moon and Venus were close in the sky. Today, less so. It really emphasises how fast the moon moves realtive to the rest of the sky. Venus moves too, relative to the "fixed" stars, but much more slowly. Venus is on the far right, just above the stalks. Photo taken with a Pixel 10...

There is a very short window every year when strawberries are so good you almost don’t want to do anything but eat them over the sink fresh from the colander.

How do we collectively determine whether or not large language models are dangerous when the public narrative is held captive by the companies that build them?

The most vivid memories of my childhood in China are those sharing food with my grandfather. China was poor in the 1970s. Food was scant and meat a luxury. One poignant recollection is when my grandfather cooked game that he caught in the rice fields and shared that tasty meal with me. I also...

Human beings are probably the most inappropriately named species on our planet. Most of us spend very little time being. It would be more accurate to call us human doings, human thinkings, or perhaps human wantings – with being somewhere near the bottom of the list. Most of us find it very...

That the Bad Faith Times blog on prosecuting Elon Musk's DOGE bros made the rounds this week might be further confirmation that Americans have not forgotten the 2025 DOGE coup, and want nothing more than justice for the DOGE criminals and their fascist enablers. That's how I'm interpreting it,...

The most common mistake I have seen in big ugly balls of mud is to try to capture data without enough structure.Chopping up some incoming data into a lot of little strongly typed fields is a pain.
