NO PUBLIC UNDISCLOSED AI That's my new heuristic after the last few years of seeing AI in practice. As context, there's a Laffer curve[a] for AI. The optimal amount of AI in most things is not 100% nor 0%. Because if you use 0% AI, it's slow, but if you rely on 100% AI, it's

Everyone talks about “energy,” like the body runs on calories or motivation. It doesn’t. It runs on timing: the nanoscale choreography between protons, electrons, and the electromagnetic field your cells sit inside. Mitochondria aren’t power plants. They’re voltage regulators,

An emergent capability of Nano Banana Pro that took me by surprise: the ability to generate beautiful & accurate charts that are to scale.

Reddit was the #1 website most cited by LLMs in June 2025. And X/Twitter didn't even make it in the list. WTF are we even doing in this app then?!

I traveled after 80+ days at Network School. It’s been nice to have a routine, but now I needed a change of environment. Since coming here, I went on five day trips, including Singapore, surfing, and hiking, but this has been my first proper weekend trip. We drove 2.5 hours to

Something I think people continue to have poor intuition for: The space of intelligences is large and animal intelligence (the only kind we've ever known) is only a single point, arising from a very specific kind of optimization that is fundamentally distinct from that of our

For #SWMM5 Differential equations → literally the entire hydrologic and hydraulic engine; if you don’t at least respect DEs, dynamic wave will eat your lunch. Optimization → finding the combination of roughness, imperviousness, and infiltration parameters that makes observed

Super interesting post from Andrej Karpathy. I wanted to dive deeper, so I created a NotebookLM notebook based on this tweet, and then did a Deep Research run in-app to gather related sources. Then generated one of our new slide decks to explore further. Instant knowledge base.

For years, the conventional wisdom was to put 100% of your energy into building, and to ignore politics. The problem was that those who put 100% of their energy into fighting, particularly politicians, would then take everything you’d built. Like the video game Civilization. If

OK, color me officially impressed: Nano Banana Pro can make good diagrams based on papers. This one can go straight into my presentations.

Backstory of this, I have been working for 50 years making numerical models (mainly for stormwater), and I was curious to look backwards at assumptions we made for the software. I made a #replit app that looks back in time at model components and suggests weaknesses,
