Highlights

- Refactored complex React apps for performance and maintainability

- Migrated production apps to Next.js for improved SSR and data handling

- Boosted Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores

I’m currently available for remote, part-time or short-term contract work. If your team could use a senior partner to move faster and cleaner, let’s talk.

After building Zenta https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44394929, a tiny CLI tool to pause and breathe, I realized I needed more than awareness — I needed to protect my attention. So I made Flow: a minimalist tool that helps you stay with one task at a time. Start a session, focus, take a mindful pause, and end it with intention. No tracking. No metrics. Fully offline. Just one quiet boundary around your work. Zenta helped me return to the present. Flow helps me stay there.

The web can be a nice place full of lively people. By default it is not. At least anymore. I remember the early days of webrings, HTML only pages, and guestbooks. That’s no longer the case. It hasn’t been so since facebook.

Why is this relevant?

These LLMs were trained on the internet’s data. Which is full of a lot of vile shit. I can’t imagine these models having a measurable sense of decency as a result. Not without much tweaking from the big model makers.

It’s no wonder people become affected by this technology. It’s trained on humanities unfiltered thoughts. So dark that light can’t escape.

We are on for a ride.

> Dry powder to do what?

This is a very common term for business people and especially investors and startups. It's a short phrase that carries a lot of meaning and packs a lot of punch.

Google Gemini:

> In finance, dry powder refers to readily available cash or liquid assets that a company, investor, or fund manager holds in reserve for future investments or to meet obligations during economic downturns. It's a metaphor, originating from the need to keep gunpowder dry for use in battle, symbolizing preparedness and flexibility in financial contexts.

> In essence, dry powder is unspent capital waiting to be deployed

This one term packs in all of that meaning into two words, so it is quite a useful tool. "Cash" alone doesn't have an implied context, whereas "dry powder" is immediately understood for strategy and positioning.

It's also nice to have analogies that are striking and evocative. It makes language fun and flowery instead of dusty and spartan. Business people have to business all day, and this injects a little flavor and excitement with wordplay. Drawing up images of 17th century battles is nice when the reality is emailing back and forth.

There lots of other phrases like this that you'll stumble upon. Someone should make a dictionary of these at some point.

https://mastrojs.github.io There are three parts to it:

- Guide to HTML, CSS and JS with accompanying "Visual Studio Code for the Web" extension – build your static site (and publish to GitHub Pages) directly in the browser.

- A minimal Astro-like MPA web framework for handcrafted websites providing you the essential abstractions to simply write HTML, CSS and JS – without any complex tools messing with your code before it reaches the browser.

- Reactive Mastro – a tiny client-side reactive GUI library for your Mastro project, or for your existing MPA.

The standard practice for commercial crops is to bring in commercial hives of bees for pollination season that are shipped together via truck from crop to crop and region to region.

That sounds like a great opportunity to spread the resistant parasites from hive to hive and region to region.

The worst[1] part about losing my job last month was having to take LinkedIn seriously, and the best[2] part about now having found a new job is logging off LinkedIn, for a very long time hopefully. The self-aggrandising, pretentious, occasionally virtue signalling, performance-posting make me want to throw up. It takes a considerable amount of effort on my part to not make sarcastic shitposts, but in the interest of self preservation, I restrain myself. My header picture, however, is my extremely messy desk, full of electronics, tools, test equipment, drawings, computers and coffee cups. Because that's just how I work when I'm in the zone, and it serves as a quiet counterpoint to the polished self-promotion people do.

And I didn't even get the new job through LinkedIn, though it did yield one interview.

[1] Not the actual worst.

[2] Not the actual best.

Yah, I tend to think of type witnesses as actually existing at runtime and phantom types not, but in the union trick, they don't really exist either. So thinking on it some more, seems more of a way of expressing type parameters in the first place, and well, that's what the article was about.

Now I'm wondering what phantom types would look like in C...

Imagine how quickly we’d answer the question of whether consumers actually prefer Apple’s walled garden and are voting with their wallets, or if they’re just locked in and being taken advantage of, if 3rd party app stores with much lower overhead were allowed. If your monthly subscription cost $10 on the Apple app store but $7 on the other one, for the same product, I think we’d get an answer rather efficiently.

98% just meant not rare, as the person referenced “rare cars” vs everything else.

I’ve already looked at that those real work TCO numbers for a bunch of cars, that’s part of why I’m saying they’re reliable and lower TCO.

But there’s a big difference between saying that on average these things break down less across all hybrids and saying every single hybrid model is more reliable.

This direct fusion drive is a really interesting concept. Maybe something like this could be used for interstellar travel in a century (or five), it is very encouraging that there is active research on it. ~5kg of thrust is not a lot, but over time...

This sounds significantly more feasible than nuclear pulse propulsion ("project orion" style) which I used to think was the only feasible approach to get to another star.

One thing that was unclear from the paper to me: How does the fusion drive "pick" D/He3 fusion over D/D? Can this be "forced" by just cranking the plasma temperature way up? Or do you still just have to deal with a bunch of neutrons from undesired D/D fusion?

Sure. Top level context / motivation was build a db/ modelling tool that could easily describe all the different administrative and economic workflows and resources across all of finance.

You actually want to view possible economic or administrative exchanges as just being literally partially applied anonymous fucntions that only counter parties can import, partially apply and if not fully applied, re-export for further steps.

You kinda want dependent types so you can express stuff like “this has been signed and accepted by Bob or some designated delegate on his/her behalf”

First class signed values get a title subtle because you’ve gotta have a robust way to talk about a canonical binary serialization that plays nicely with cryptographic signatures. The simplest way is to require every signed value have a globally unique nonce pubkey counter for each new thing signed by that identity. I’m saying that a little bit imprecisely and I mean the weaker per pubkey sense of that. This also is a sane approach because it’s the same as requiring per identity sequential consistency OR explicitly coordinated nonce sharding.

Basically: if you just add first class identity and signatures as values to like anyyy dbms and have strict validation for any db transaction to commit, the whole needing an api barrier around your application db kinda goes away!

AFAICT, pretty much every api wrapper around a db is mostly because pretty much every db has no native way to model and enforce an application specific identity authorization and resource ownership model.

Allowing your full dbms to be exposed over an api while respecting application state and security is a pretty mind blowing perspective shift, and maybe I should revisit working on that.

There’s a lot of other cool pieces that I’ve not touched on that make it pretty fun/interesting/useful, but I think that partially expresses stuff

Are you sure? That's new to me.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Directive says

> The Directive provision applicable to cookies is Article 5(3). Recital 25 of the Preamble recognises the importance and usefulness of cookies for the functioning of modern Internet and directly relates Article 5(3) to them but Recital 24 also warns of the danger that such instruments may present to privacy. The change in the law does not affect all types of cookies; those that are deemed to be "strictly necessary for the delivery of a service requested by the user", such as for example, cookies that track the contents of a user's shopping cart on an online shopping service, are exempted.

News to me! Where is this option described, ideally by Signal itself?

If you are alleging that Apple's own local Finder/Itunes backup of an iPhone includes Signal messages, that's not true, against reasonable user expectations, by Signal's own design choices.

Anyone who's counting on such local backups to save their histories is in for the same rude surprise I and many others have hit unaware:

I'm a huge fan of Carmack and read the book (Masters of Doom) multiple times and love it, too. But he's a legend for pioneering PC gaming graphics in a way that was feasible for a single (very talented) person to accomplish, and was also pioneering something that already existed on consoles. I think there's a big leap from very cleverly recreating existing very basic and simple 3d graphics for a new platform versus the massive task that is AGI/ASI, which I don't think is something a single person can meaningfully move forward at this point. Even the big jump we got from GPTs was due to many many people.

What do you think is the difference, and why are you certain it must apply to AI? Why do you think human thought/emotion is an appropriate model for AI?

If it's all just information in the end, we don't know how much of all this is implementation detail and ultimately irrelevant for a system's ability to reason.

Because I am pretty sure AI researchers are first and foremost trying to make AI that can reason effectively, not AI that can have feelings.

Let's walk first before we run. We are no where near understanding what is qualia to even think we can do so.

> A lot of classic SEO content also makes great AI fodder.

Huh? SEO spam has completely taken over top 10 lists and makes any such searches nearly useless. This has been the case for at least a decade. That entire market is 1000% about getting clicks. Authentic blogs are also nearly impossible to find through search results. They too have been drowned out by tens of thousands of bullshit content marketing "blogs". Before they were AI slop they were Fiverr slop.

>I don't know, from my point of view having both syntaxes is clearly more to think about

That's storage, not load. You need you know more, but you don't have to think about as much at any one time.

BrainFuck has extremely simple operations. You don't have to think about very many different things at all, but you need to think about them a lot.

>and all you get from the shorter one is typing a few fewer keystrokes.

I'm not particularly concerned about keystrokes (unless I'm golfing). I'm happy to increase the size of the content to reduce how much I think about it. Reducing the number of elements I have to look at to grasp the same concept is distinct from keystrokes.

ArbitraryLongVariableName = 43

OK, it might be a cultural thing. Do dogs probe the secrets of the world around them, with all that barking, even a little? Is it that they're in an early phase and will eventually advance to do more with stones than lick them sometimes?

What would our being baffled by a super-intelligence look like? Maybe some effect like dark matter. It would make less sense the more we found out about it, and because it's on a level beyond our comprehension, it would never add up. And the lack of apparent relevance to a super-intelligence's doings would be expected, because it's beyond our comprehension.

But this is silly and resembles apologies for God based on his being ineffable. So there's a way to avoid difficult questions like "what is his motivation" and "does he feel like he needs praise" because you can't eff him, not even a little. Then anything incomprehensible becomes evidence for God, or super-intelligence. We'd have to be pretty damn frustrated with things we don't understand before this looks true.

But that still doesn't work, because we're not supposed to be able to even suspect it exists. So even that much interaction with us is too much. In fact this "what if" question undermines itself from the start, because it represents the start of comprehension of the incomprehensible thing it posits.

Just an assumption here, but it's likely that many of the contractors you spoke to are misinformed and/or have had bad experiences installing them in the past. It has nothing to do with the capabilities of the equipment. Check out "The Current State of HVAC" and the following sections in the research piece for more context on this point. The average HVAC contracting business is simply not in a good position to recommend or install a heat pump system.
