Hoping you enjoy my artisanal long division. All handcrafted, no calculators, computers or adding machines (apart from the 200,000,000,000 operations it took to render it on my iPad and the countless millions more to whiz it round the world to you.)

If we continue to name things after paper authors then future mathematics will look like: Using the OpenAI transcendence property we show that OpenAI vectors in an Anthropic bundle on an OpenAI manifold when Anthropic-induced by an OpenAI-homomorphism are always Anthropic-OpenAI in the critical […]

I love this nano sized ebook reader that makes a standard Kindle look enormous. XTEINC X4 Classic. Great for grabbing a quick distraction-free read in moments of downtime.

It's cool that Amazon keep you updated as your stuff approaches but I live in an Internet black hole several miles across and I feel like I know what it's like to be a NASA engineer during reentry.

Remember the days when Republicans used to blather on about morality? Seems like a distant past. Of course we all knew it was a lie. And so did they.

Is your repo a cassette tape where every edit requires a decision to wait minutes or risk losing your code? Did you actually put in the work to edit your code or just let algorithms like search and replace do your work for you? Was every fact you know about the system you use the product of hard […]

You have to check from time to time: is this the means or is this the end? And if it's someone else's end, know whose. And the answer may vary between people and over time and be a blend. And almost by definition you needn't all agree and that's OK.

Reading news stories over the last decade or so, from all over the political spectrum, there is one overwhelmingly consistent message about the US that really stands out: The US is a desperately poor country and the only way to survive is for everyone to work harder, expect less, increase […]

Is there a word for continuing to watch a TV show just to see how bad it can get? Like Dark Matter.

I like "shadows" of theorems. Like equality on computable reals isn't decidable but this has nothing to say about IEEE floating point. Except we all know comparing floating point numbers for equality can be somewhat dangerous, and the reasons do in fact relate to the more abstract result.
