I look at the crazy shareholder value I generate at my work every week & imagine how better it’d be if these 8-10 hours per day could be used for mechinterp research instead of this corpo swe slop hooo boy

this should actually make you look cooler imo you’re in the same room as them despite not having the traditional credentials “wow this person must be crazy good for them to be here without a PhD”

another day of waking up with the privilege

a lovely anthropic paper from 2021 on attention mechanics, was very helpful to someone like me who finds it difficult to visualize concepts transformer-circuits.pub/2021/framework…

makes you physically ill reaching out to people you deeply respect who feel 'approachable' for sharing ideas or asking for opportunities, like what if they don't respond what if they think x or y etc etc there's overthinking & there's me ugh (still reaching out though)

everyone talks about how doing neovim means less distractions, more focus, more efficiency etc etc well I’m a simpleton, the primary reason for me is that it just looks so damn pretty & I just wanna use it all the time lmao

what on earth

the sheer number of accounts that have come to me telling me about this typst app after that tweet of mine where I was writing in markdown… is this some kind of psyop? and yes I like using plain markdown in my neovim don’t worry about me

ok the picture I get it (not really) but there’s 0 reason for this tweet to get these likes… and these bookmarks?????? why are you bookmarking this???? deeply deeply unserious platform

felt a bit nauseous inside the house today, so decided on a slight change of pace

came back to say this is probably the best thing I've been fortunate enough to read this year, so much gold in here if hf was selling this as a physical book I'd buy it immediately

one of the more ambitious projects that’ll have a considerable impact & I’m the sole dev in charge, well at least my resume will look good!

I sometimes think to myself how simpler it would be for me to get some nice high-paying dev roles if I wanted to, mostly because of my current job how unseemly that this moron just wants to do matmuls & read papers

got nerdsniped by copy heads when I was going through a paper on attention mechanics & all I could think of was the "do nothing, win" meme since it seems that's what these chaps do across residual streams

so I did a little something…

got nerdsniped again, I ended up spending my whole evening figuring out how to properly add read counts to my blog pages with cloudflare's workers kv although making a little progress on some study logs in the process :) hopefully I can churn out at least 3 this week
