I can’t understand how we got to this place with “app culture”! Software companies are happy to make their lives harder (and more expensive: deploying to the big app stores isn’t free!), in order to deliver HTML content to fewer people and with fewer features than if they just published directly...

A history of front-end development that culminates here: The frontier of 2026, the stuff the sharpest people are most excited about, is render the HTML on the server, ship almost no JavaScript, and use the web platform instead of fighting it. adactio.com/links/22650

I have a chapter in a new volume of the Sante Fe Institute’s series on The Economy As A Complex Evolving System. Alongside my chapter, which is about what data science and AI can do for understanding increasingly complex economies, there are contributions on: economic complexity analysis...

PreambleThe simplest explanation is always the best among the explanations that are representative. It is called the principle of parsimony, Occam's razor. It is the bedrock of scientific enlightenment. There is a recent development that people start to do a category error to discard this...

Figure: Dual Tomographic CompressionPerformance, Süzen, 2025.PreambleRandomness is elusive and its probably one of the outstanding concepts for human scientific endeavour, along with gravity. Kolmogorov complexity, appears to be so novel in trying to answering "what is randomness?". The idea that...

Rubik's cube (Wikipedia)Preamble Counting is one of the most important concepts in probability and statistical mechanics as well. Two primary characteristics of choosing $n$ items from $N$ items are (no)-order and (no)-repeat. This leads to four possible cases that leads to combinations and...

PreambleThe entropy is probably one of the most difficult physical concepts to grasp. Its inception roots in efficiency of engines and foundational connection to multi-particle classical mechanics to thermodynamics, i.e., kinetic theory to thermo-statistics. However, computing entropy for a...

SummaryProblem-solving is the core activity of data science using scientific principles and evidence. On our side, there is an irresistible urge to solve the most generic form of the problem. We do this almost always from programming to formulation of the problem. But, don't try to solve a...
