  2. How to do math?

    I’m writing this because I must. What I’ve noticed is a dissociation of sorts between how I do programming vs math.

  3. Memory is a bag of words

    Sometime last week I “took” a sticky notes pack from work, my intention then being to write my own bits and pieces of notes on it.

  4. To be a glutton

    Some recent events and sicknesses had led to question and ask, “am I eating too much?” and led me down this rabbithole where I try to dissect an evolution in calorie consumption and eating habits.

  5. A perfect imitation

    In drawing parallels between the systems I work with and my own life, I’ve started noticing “imitation” as all that exists more and more.

  6. In what direction?

    This is another one of those “trivial in hindsight but you might never notice” lessons that I must write down now or else it might be lost to time, only for me to make the same mistake again and re-discover it.

  7. Clueless Tokeniser

    The more and more LLMs are getting better, the more parallels I’m start to see the parallels between “predict next token” and how I myself think.

  8. To Reason

    I’m really disheartened today.

  10. Incentives and Outcomes

    I heard this phrase first on a video by Jonathan Blow but it has stuck with me since.
