In some ways Elise and I were becoming “the old married couple”, with her admonishing me about my messiness in eating ice cream cones or her desire that I switch on self-driving to avoid her being subjected to my own substandard human driving.

In Memory of My Wife, Elise Cawley (1961–2026), with Thanks for 36 Wonderful Years—Stephen Wolfram WritingsWhile Elise could be a very original thinker, she also believed in the value of existing wisdom and existing ways of doing things—and was constantly telling me that I shouldn’t try to figure out absolutely everything (including about everyday life) from first principles

At this level of sparsity, routing and optimization become first-order challenges. Quantile Balancing derives expert allocation directly from router-score quantiles, eliminating heuristic updates and a sensitive balancing hyperparameter, while Per-Head Muon extends Muon by optimizing attention heads independently for more adaptive learning at scale.

No Effort is Wasted - YouTubeClaude had helpfully given us a bulleted list to work through, an even number of findings for each of us. I felt called-upon to gallantly agree with Claude's softly (oh-so-softly) couched criticisms of my viewpoint, while conceding everywhere Claude expressed subtle (oh-so-subtle) approval of my boss. The call ended shortly afterwards, somewhat awkwardly for both of us. I had just experienced the most baffling mixture of radical transparency and impossible opacity.
charles leifer | Cave of Forgotten DreamsThis page collects resources about implementing regular expression search efficiently.
Implementing Regular ExpressionsIf it were possible to effectively slow the development of this technology to give ourselves more time to deal with its immense implications, we think that would likely be a good thing. But if a slowdown simply lets the least cautious actors catch up technologically, it could leave everyone less safe. Without a global coordination mechanism, companies and governments will have to make difficult decisions about safety while under competitive and geopolitical pressures.
When AI builds itself \ AnthropicThis assumption is no longer true. Things can be broken in ways that weren’t previously possible, and old proxies of underlying quality like syntax and grammar are useless. AI produced artifacts are not produced by the same process as human ones, and this difference, while extremely subtle in statistics, makes itself obvious when you try to interact with and build on the artifact in human ways.

A heart of fireA close examination of almost any proof published in a mathematics journal will identify errors. Most are easy to fix, but the persistence of errors must undermine our confidence in published mathematics. Let’s recall once again that remarkable group of footnotes from The Axiom of Choice, by T J Jech:
Broken proofs and broken proversShut down and constrain this area of intellectual space
The Rage of Research -A lot of stage 3 can be best characterized by reading everything I possibly can about a subject and internally screaming ‘but what actually is the thing???’
The Rage of Research -To fix this, we can either: Calculate the correct timing ahead of time, or; Calculate the inverse scale every time the parent scale changes. (2) happens to be drastically simpler than (1), and also allows us to handle all sorts of different timings on the parent. This also happens to be the approach that Framer Motion uses.
Inside Framer's Magic MotionFLIP, which stands for First, Last, Inverse, Play, is a technique that lets you animate "slow" layout changes using "fast" CSS properties like transform.

2025: A life built from the daysHere’s to taking steps to meet my wife in 2026
2025: A life built from the daysThe last 3 months I have been trying to refine the proprioception of my arms as I pull up larger pieces where I can’t see my inside hand. I find that anything more than 3lbs, the walls become tall enough that I can no longer couple my hands and pull it up together.
2025: A life built from the daysI always forget the silent toils of putting foot after foot and feeling the burning in your legs but it’s this same toil that you learn to love as the distance piles on. There’s nothing quite like making it to your campsite just in time to setup camp during sunset and afterwards eating a nice warm meal with a good book in hand. I remain adamant that a good physical challenge for the body and time out in the woods is one of the best ways to heal the mind and soul.
2025: A life built from the dayst may be that, as some supporters of the frequency theory have maintained, the logic of partial belief will be found in the end to be merely the study of frequencies, either because partial belief is definable as, or by reference to, some sort of frequency, or because it can only be the subject of logical treatment when it is grounded on experienced frequencies.

Trying to Try - LessWrongThe power of beauty in communicating complex ideas
DOC • The power of beauty in communicating complex ideas“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfilment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
40(ish) pieces of "advice" from 2025 - by Patricia Mou"We are intelligently drawn to those who can heal us, those who will, knowingly or not, bring up the unmet, unloved, unseen parts of ourselves, inviting the darkness back into the light, calling us to evolve, to feel more fully, to speak out with greater conviction, to draw clearer boundaries, to know ourselves more deeply. To strengthen our relationship with Life."- Jeff Foster
40(ish) pieces of "advice" from 2025 - by Patricia Mouall therapy, bodywork, energetics, meditation, healing containers are simply technologies that help reinforce the container in which you are ultimately holding yourself, to fully feel it all without having a change agenda. eventually you'll need those technologies less and less as You holds you.
40(ish) pieces of "advice" from 2025 - by Patricia MouThey’re right about concrete factual statements about how software systems work (e.g. endpoint X has rate limit Y). They’re right about concrete plans (e.g. we can’t add this check here, but it’ll work there). They’re right about a million small decisions that they make when they write code, which shows up in their code generally working and causing fewer bugs.
Good engineers are right, a lot"If you reject your own ideas, then the part of the brain that comes up with ideas is going to stop. You just do it and do it and do it, and you sort it out later."

Half-assing it with everything you've gotThe officers are civil, but every encounter causes me apprehension and stress. I’m innocent of any wrongdoing, but the interaction between a citizen and law enforcement is unbalanced by nature. They are part of an apparatus that can take away a person’s freedom. I know it, and they certainly know it. When you’re homeless, you are even more vulnerable. You have no place to go, no kitchen table to sit at while you drink your beer, invisible to them. You’re always on their turf. It’s unnerving.

How To Understand Things - Nabeel S. QureshiHow many people actually go back and try and understand this, or other such topics, in a deeper way? Very few. Moreover, the ‘meta’ lesson is: don’t question it too deeply, you’ll fall behind. Just learn the algorithm, plug in the numbers, and pass your exams. Speed is of the essence. In this way, school kills the “will to understanding” in people.
How To Understand Things - Nabeel S. Qureshi"Agency" needs nuance
"Agency" needs nuance — EA ForumI don’t want people to get hung up on the technology angle. I think sometimes people hear “Federated Thingamabob” and just sort of tune out thinking “Oh, he’s talking about a feature of Federated Thingamabob.” But I’m not. I’m really not. I’m talking about a different way to think your online activity, no matter what tool you use. And relevant to this conference, I’m talking about a different way of collaborating as well.
