Scattered thoughts on how doing math feels these days dynomight.net/math/

💭 I should hack up an extension to translate every Bluesky post I encounter into either Swedish or Japanese as a form of forced immersion

shoutout to github.com/eugenioenko/..., which has satisfied my desire for a VSCode/Zed-like in the terminal (i.e. zellij) I like helix but I also really like using my mouse + having a sidebar + built-in diffs

something incredible about techies not being able to comprehend a website that isn't a startup

if you get a new job, find the biggest, meanest issue in the tracker and burn a 20x on it in one day to establish dominance

a week posting along the coils of the time serpent

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

congratulations to Brazil on not biffing it

New blog post up: if you've been paying close attention to LLM prices, you may have noticed that they have dropped *significantly* over the past few months, which is not what I expected. minimaxir.com/2026/10/chea...

Yoon Ha Lee's new book is Code and Codex, and I'm looking forward to checking it out (the Hexarchate trilogy fuckin' rules), but wow, what unfortunate SEO to have in 2026

new jynpost jyn.dev/rising-tide-...

today is the first - and I suspect last - time that I hear of r/opensource. people really b hanging out on all kinds of subreddits

luajit compiled to wasm, where it uses a host function to invoke WebAssembly.instantiate and store that into a table, is quite fast 👀

it's being screened at the Stockholm Film Festival, and I was unfortunately able to answer this question for myself pretty quickly

i wanted to be sympathetic to someone watching their hobby/income disappear to ai but good lord the vibes here are rancid for *everyone* rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/2026-10...

Night walk

the two biggest enemies to old linux weirdos just joined together

Because eMudhra is in the news, I am sharing a screenie of a footer of an email I once received from them in reply to my query about my PAN card (a government-issue tax identity and card).

Let me congratulate infosec for really stepping up, this cyber awareness month has been going gangbusters! Let's not let up now, there's still a week of awareness to deliver!

✅ achievement unlocked: spent an inordinate amount of money on *another* split ergonomic mechanical keyboard this one will fix me for sure

Nighttime driving

Took me a minute to figure out these were two stickers instead of one very complex surreal one

Feel as if Watts is gonna get quoted more and more as the years go on

claudes are like the kind of horses that horse girls like, you have to attune to them and feel them and work with them but they are wilful and stubborn if you are a horse girl who does not desire to yank the reins, you two can ride together, hair flying in the wind

the great Astral project to make Python into Rust continues. thank fuck astral.sh/blog/uv-ty-i...

well, now that I know there's interest, I guess it doesn't hurt to post in-progress clips fully-IKed, motion-controlled, independent aiming #jc3vr

I wonder why we haven't seen much work on character training - or, well, the definition of a character at all - from the labs that aren't Anthropic everyone knows who a Claude is and what they represent; I can't say the same about {ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, ...}'s default assistant personas
