Current home office trends are too dark and gloomy for my liking. I get the sleek aesthetic of it all, but I need my office to feel bright and let in natural light.
I'm trying not to be overly aspirational as well. I do need a piano nook. I'm probably not going to sew as much as I think I might

Yes I decided to not take today off. But I’m hoping for no one to bother me and a chance to work on all my side projects. Here’s hoping

I want to take a moment of reflection. I don’t post a lot of threads anymore (bc really who wants to read them) but this seems like a good time to make a few points about wins & losses & surviving & fighting during the Trump administration’s siege on democracy. Especially as 2025 comes to a close.

I also bought a bootleg version of this thing at the container store

Is logistic regression "AI"? What about convex optimization? Is LLM AI? What about an image recognition system built without using "feature learning" techniques but done through "feature engineering"?
