Nice to attend my first meeting as a Siam fellow!

I knew it! That zoo costume designer is fantastic. Australia Admits All Those Animals Made Up - The Onion

Ooh, SIAM news wrote about my talk. Maybe I should record a video on this one! www.siam.org/publicati…

Apple needs to fire its advertising team. This is the …4th or 5th major screw up. www.macrumors.com/2025/07/3…

Sometimes I try to think of what would it take me to get to yes on something like personalized AI-based pricing as in arstechnica.com/tech-poli… In this case, I’m fine if companies need to disclose lowest price in 6 mo

Whenever I hear “AI Tools Did Something Catastrophic”, I just replace “AI Tools” with “Intern” and it sounds just normal! Give an intern unrestricted DB access and you know what to expect!

Thanks to @arstechnica for keeping this up (https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2002/02/2339-2/) — helped me find the original Google Programming Contest URL (https://web.archive.org/web/20020206161024/http://www.google.com/programming-contest/), not the weird mooglemb.com one.

Visiting the badlands at sunset is interesting. Feels like reality has scanlines like on a TV.

This was written in 2012 as the worst-case scenario for 2030. info.publicintelligence.net/GlobalTre… Fun to revisit to see what’s still relevant and what isn’t.

Seriously, C++ is where Claude code is really hitting its stride for me! This is awesome. No performance wonkiness.

Our house kills dehumidifiers so it’ll die before their “smart devices” servers do. bsky.app/profile/x…

Claude code makes C++ so awesome. Seriously, if you’ve been a python fan, just dump it and go back to C++. Claude just handles all the BS and you don’t have to worry if you are on some ridiculous fast-path or have an optimized library or … anything. Just good algorithms and performance.

Barring a major setback, it now appears highly likely that Blue Origin will beat SpaceX in landing a vehicle on the lunar surface. arstechnica.com/space/202…

If you do nothing else today, spend 5 mins and watch this absolutely astounding video by Ma Chunlin of a single take along the route up Everest/Qomolangma/Sagarmatha www.youtube.com/watch

Checkout Makie 0.23 on Julia. They added a force-directed auto-label system!! makie.org/website/b… (Okay, I guess in 0.22.8, see the pic). This will be so useful for labeling data. My students will tell you I always ask about “outliers” in plots, so I’m sure they will appreciate it.

The weekend.

None of us would complain about reviewer 2 if we could get a stream of high-impact journal papers out of their skepticism! arstechnica.com/science/2…

There are pictures reportedly from St Paul Yesterday. “Cancelled” doesn’t mean “didn’t happen” — unless there was a coordinated campaign to fool people like me?

Hey nytimes. Confirmed by who? Your three reporters? I’m happy to confirm that the event in West Lafayette Indiana was real! Or you can use our local paper? www.jconline.com/story/new…

Of course. The median number of the new acip committee is probably a better representation… (compared with the old group)

Sometimes I want to pull my hair out using Claude code. Are there examples of how to use it efficiently? I feel like I’m burning through tokens having it write shitty code to make small amounts of progress. (Yes, it is making progress, but it’s so so so so so bad code…)
