How often do you hear technical or STEM-adjacent people do that thing where they go, "Well, actually, it's a lot more complicated than that.” The knee-jerk reaction is to feel that it is pedantic at best and abrasive at worst. When it is actually a push back that comes from a sense of aesthetics.

There is truly a borderline infinite abundance of interesting people and interesting things going on at all times

Sometimes I read a book - it only takes a few pages, especially an author I’ve never read before - and I think to myself - holy shit I'm going to love this book

Inference time scaling actually makes a lot of sense at the end of the day. It does feel like Reinforcement Learning (RL) like, child psychology, or just how children learn about the world at times

I want to build things that I want to exist in the world
In this day & age, it may feel like all of your effort is futile, like a drop in the ocean
But there are people out there — in our universe who will understand the nuance, and that is worth fighting for
Do not go gentle into that good night

I have often lamented the fact that I don’t have many lifetimes to:
- pursue all my interests deeply
- to fall in love a million times
- to learn every language & culture
- to get to know every human deeply
- to finally read all the books that are collecting dust on my shelf
- pursue all my interests deeply
- to fall in love a million times
- to learn every language & culture
- to get to know every human deeply
- to finally read all the books that are collecting dust on my shelf

When I was younger - I read about how a bunch of programmers started google, you know the search engine. and then one night I went to sleep, and I dreamed about using Google.
It turns out you can make “things” that infiltrate and shape peoples dreams. this continues to be a reason why I create

I procrastinated / rested almost all day (did other things) - and then at the end of the day I sat down, wrote a solution for a bug / architecture I’ve been trying to solve for weeks in under 30 mins

There was this thread in the Apple community, when the iPod shuffle came out, a bunch of people complained that the "iPod Shuffle" wasn't shuffled enough (it'd play songs from the last few days, felt not random) & Apple had to implement a more 'shuffled' algo

My usage this week:
- 80% Deepseek v3 / R1, I'd say mainly R1
- 15% Claude Sonnet until I run out of tokens
- leftovers go to ChatGPT
- playing around on runpod / local model for random experimentation etc, LM studio, ollama, stable diffusion, etc
I can't believe how much i'm using DS

I'm interested in a planetary level -- shared, immutable layer of truth that even AGI/ASI will have to acknowledge because:
In order to hold both ourselves and our continued advanced intelligences to be accountable to our own human-defined, and eventual machine standards of truth and ethics

Re-reading attention is all you need
A huge leap to go from thinking about a subjective sequential experience (and seeing that as a bottle neck) and instead thinking about how every thing is connected to everything and what are those weights
Mind blowing tbh that this works

Our current brain is limited by processing power and RAM / storage
Augmenting / upgrading our wetware is going to upgrade the ontological resolution of our perception of the real & the “models” we can run on it
What we see as being real is a subset of what objectively exists as Kant calls noumena

Reality fundamentally is a high entropy system - higher entropy means more information is needed to describe the system - it also represents the minimum number of bits required to send that information. Stories are lossy compressions of reality

Mistaking local maxima for global maxima, or mistaking local minima for global minima, happens way too often.
This happens across everything (sensor data, trajectories, global reproduction rates, covid spread rate, stock market etc - anything that involves gradients)

I feel like there's a conflict in robotics between the "old school" robotics (control, planning, perception etc where you want to limit your problem space) vs "new wave" of AI/ML folks that are going the end-to-end route (i.e. LeRobot - just RL learn everything, zero-shot learning, sim2real)
